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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAhiFcQtObu1
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAZLAkONIbu7
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAwgAQOuBGnq
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAsdDpRk5TTA
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
77Please respect copyright.PENANAstp9RfvC2w
77Please respect copyright.PENANAWTWSgcDDhL
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAhghVS616Bx
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA4oQAiVROR5
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
77Please respect copyright.PENANATnJ1PqklRB
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
77Please respect copyright.PENANAEMoJy8k2RE
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
77Please respect copyright.PENANACgdx6Cn99k
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAe4wjaf9th3
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAclt0kYtaFn
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?
77Please respect copyright.PENANAd7r9GBrJiy
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAXybCb4IV9r
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ9wCL23d1
I can't describe that feeling in words.
77Please respect copyright.PENANARXDZYJga95
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAxyAfPSEOz2
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
77Please respect copyright.PENANADNaglzUtZk
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAwg4D4izmdF
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAhguH4k9Ynr
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANARK3YeXraaz
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
77Please respect copyright.PENANARQtweJQIAv
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAH3nfyWtydQ
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAUxv5F5rbCT
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAqcqLYHYZNp
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAuloRwGQfnD
And Hayden continued talking.
77Please respect copyright.PENANANJ5BktV9GW
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAohhMH98BJC
Elizabeth frowned.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAffQo6WvbNy
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAyaoInB9uRm
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAWF7dVU6nax
"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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAlYLz9hLCNA
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA3cZD3cvOv5
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAfVxrg45fGr
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAra5ixsxBGq
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y0NrkrOXt
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAuStAFpH4xy
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAzLA5nObw2o
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.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAkeaPedRyEI
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAZEtOU6bEiJ
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
77Please respect copyright.PENANARQlbhB9XLs
He shook his head negatively.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAM1iFVsuSgy
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA2L8XY6aTcD
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAtc9rEAzjxD
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
77Please respect copyright.PENANA4PaLqf6AEh
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAF5u3KmndGt
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAjmRefhM7Xx
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAx5FYm4lKUI
He sighs quitely.
77Please respect copyright.PENANArbvqmq8mjN
" 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."
77Please respect copyright.PENANAW7bhaAq3e1
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAQaK49lFrXg
" 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."
77Please respect copyright.PENANANnAdebQX7t
He nodded quietly.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAVdIDIn9BJV
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
77Please respect copyright.PENANArDAWKcnqzx
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAY23M2X7xQb
" 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."
77Please respect copyright.PENANABCf73LdQsB
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
