She felt a lot of different emotions, mostly anger was the main one. She bawled her hands into fists when she recalled Hayden's rejection and what had transpired that fateful day.
She was filled with rage but yet felt saddened by the bitter truth that Hayden was in love with his late wife.
A woman who looked exactly like Elizabeth but yet ended up being her long lost twin sister.
Her mother had been keeping such a big secret from her for so many years and now her sister was gone. And she never got to know her well or form a sisterly bond for years; she has always been lonely and wanted a sibling.

She didn't know that the operation had damaged her mother's womb and she lost the chance to be ever a mother again.
Now all the years were wasted alone.
She clung to her jacket and held it tightly as she shivered from the cold weather.
She ended up coming to the park in order to clear her thoughts.

Elizabeth sat down on the park bench with tears streaming down her cheeks. Silent sobs escaped her lips someone hands her a handkerchief she angrily tossed it away without looking at the person.

"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPBuGFIQFy
Did he come to humiliate her even more?
No she couldn't handle his cruel rejection again besides he had kicked her out of his life.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIFJEod58Y
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8r7e0jlCr
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPrlTVk6V
Ever since I caught Elizabeth snooping in my house I kicked her out.
I couldn't bear another loss again.
I cleaned the broken photo frame glasses but my thoughts always went back to Elizabeth.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKvJsXj8ej
The most haunting moment in my entire life was the look she gave me when I told her to get out of the house.
She was simply devastated.
I hated seeing her like that but yet my mind didn't want me to admit what I truly felt inside for her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8vBLevYrU
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxo1CGiDQ
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuctks0yqg
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtfMAaft7f
It always brought me back to the first day I saw checking me out on the window.
She might not know it but I saw her that day and the day I bumped into her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfG4bQP6oF
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmdBBxoVRD
She's like a firecracker.
She's ready to explode anytime.
And I believe we met for a reason and I mean why this town of all places?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DASlgNpr
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezeLiHMjGr
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTslWb2GWy
I can't describe that feeling in words.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrgfakoyGF
Or the time I rescued her from those monsters who almost rapped her. How I carried her lifeless cold body in my arms.
Gosh that day I thought I had lost her forever and that would have been all my fault because I stupidly conspired against her with Crystal.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGdWwqHZ0V
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUOOYh9v1b
Elizabeth is very dear to my heart. I know every little detail about her.
Her smile always hits me in the knees and makes me weak.
It took three weeks for me to realize that I loved Elizabeth genuinely and I needed to win her back. Mom was right it was time to put the past behind me and focus on the people in front of me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xEOwSlWhn
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW5aBus80I
When I went to her room she wasn't around. I had used the window to let myself in. To clear my negative thoughts I decided to take a walk and that's when I saw her.
She was sitting on the bench in the park.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLrd07eLtc
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R74pyLWIJ
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxe6HlxHk
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vM12YjgWX
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8wq0yrt0k
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xKSGfjg9k
And Hayden continued talking.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkZqVVd2gD
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0MviKbCl6
Elizabeth frowned.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUJjCjlCTr
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVtSGupaQm
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVUnp084Mk
"It's complicated but listen to me..." He pleaded once more. She walks away from him and wipes her tears with the back of her hand.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERydeUhmxZ
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJp6iszHgq
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFbo7ct5I
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd5dnssnWp
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSorR3mZmA
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU5zXUVLPN
Azalea's eyes faded when she saw Hayden with another woman in his arms something inside her shattered even if she wasn't supposed to feel anything for him.
She turned her heel and left somehow it hurt seeing him with someone else she was confused.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ShbSVVGd
Hayden had betrayed her so quickly without glancing back it's only been four years and she is surprised that he has moved on so fast.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Q6pGYGDP
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW9ammG5PU
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBOrD5F3Gt
He shook his head negatively.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1G2rBImti
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQleGVJyZS
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj9qXrphOS
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtkMtAfVpt
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM9QHFvISm
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJopTYriH2
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8s80xRDVa
He sighs quitely.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcDFAAAIM
" It's hard Elizabeth because your sister Azalea meant everything to me but fate separated us and fate brought you to me.
When I met you for the first time I developed feelings for you. Even though I didn't want to admit my true feelings I knew the answer and I realized that I love you Lizzy."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZbTAVeoty
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIS5LdeF2O
" I feel the same way I just don't want to take Azalea's place in your life and heart. I just want a normal relationship and be happy with my boyfriend nothing more. I just want to see where this relationship will take both of us Hayden. I don't want to pressure you into anything."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQa2og1PLu
He nodded quietly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH83CynFYBI
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHz2B4AMUy
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CewUJLdWN
" No of course not he might be tough and look scary but I am not scared of him plus I have super strength I can easily take him down."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdhDiEyndy
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
