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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPhi4FTJvh
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRFK0aBzlo
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOHPKnZWb6
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0rjcB1hP
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb394Dh7rnW
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN0c3Vi4ZD
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IRfrYy57t
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uwUMfvAUi
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NQoSKSueO
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOslomB8eE
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7SwO9myuA
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZSPWmK33I
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?
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUIrxbO6zR
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPgd0EyLwx
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnio36VJ3aU
I can't describe that feeling in words.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsQSAgjil0
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnWSnfPynt
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxRmc9SFdc
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6YICHKK27
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDMsnJsbG2
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0MPCeTFlG
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6aKhOgCb8
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmOeYP2Fw
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnq3uULnji
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX8R5bSnRv
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtA5OME9OC
And Hayden continued talking.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSn6WtgT2c
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPU4MV5fm5
Elizabeth frowned.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ssuBQp335
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts3fzaXLST
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CZsyiUhOS
"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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbr6rLjszQ
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW9UzYXdMI
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaHAa7gXeM
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbOXVCcODx
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKkaoxNkk
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhIe3hOJ8Z
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3EYwYiHh
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokpZJcIc9F
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvUTKK4HWl
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1cvp6bE8D
He shook his head negatively.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0cZJ436c
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvBBgP2g95
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPvIMhOyKg
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTEywf6HkA
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfZttFoVSI
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm5ATAOSpP
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzvbxmdpE
He sighs quitely.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj94kxjYXBl
" 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."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN1lHI3guf
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DlGZs3aDS
" 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."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOStQcfTs
He nodded quietly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhifYxTGQKb
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1cHwOJ4wC
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVSFhfLaw
" 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."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rdsxfItWt
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
