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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi0PqSULzl
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nTsbFwXF6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB258rk5o3F
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvyRF1WLi
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mAEgfWKA7
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0D3wwp1Ex
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz80WPR9foX
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMK53APBOs
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJC7AgF5lV
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPvr79WHH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOU3PuGwiV
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVgXY0YwLr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthCnqrJRBs
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8VnDBAL94
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw65OQOtCi
I can't describe that feeling in words.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCay1OWkEI
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ZHu9Vebi
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgX27tpmXW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo00PhrUCi
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJTtV99Cus
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqyJviK25K
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj772A0Hdrg
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HRIf51BlC
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwkJj0rUsF
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrglRV6nZii
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIAmXGrG7k
And Hayden continued talking.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspwzkRT8Mh
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzm4PpjKqm
Elizabeth frowned.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYZ72Oh26p
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrGwF7Ofd5
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTEpi34t5F
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl2Ghz2czM
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IjVomuq6S
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnkVmVh9px
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBbuX171WN
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEoWVQzW5l
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5NhDErz0h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjKLLMc5p
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGddwpDI0a
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ5CLafE4F
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ357HwDMDNa
He shook his head negatively.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTtzP45FHs
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXweB7beFIM
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmAjb8vxRd
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QPAvwUCOw
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNng7zgQMkK
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY4lamePxO
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XVQx6st9e
He sighs quitely.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR18AZINOop
" 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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbuicJl5Zj
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pTZCzVC3Y
" 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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvw3rIQ8O
He nodded quietly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFajXZZHKB
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ341RoUNPjU
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBXDWpfn5U
" 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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cdrhxwqwf
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
