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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAj5yL2rEeUx
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATG0Paw2X5G
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAHLP4GjdFog
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
33Please respect copyright.PENANAbhQGcvR7Pr
33Please respect copyright.PENANACqqmcWwRi7
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAVnVW40eyw7
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAOSg5fxDPPJ
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAM8nQEof2P9
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
33Please respect copyright.PENANA3lZ0fJVEHG
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
33Please respect copyright.PENANAhRean6GazT
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAXmChZxscKv
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAvUKlG5O2ro
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?
33Please respect copyright.PENANAaXvDjSKEWl
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAF29cJCqBP6
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAxllR2Ebh55
I can't describe that feeling in words.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAEDFZjMZdsh
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAtcoBzfUKta
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAzVTuZWWQCD
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAcZaEg65hJs
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATb5mBJkteJ
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAaY956RZqKj
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAx4TuR06Lth
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsktqrdFfa6
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA6tc8vVYVq1
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ7vaof4Jx
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAuDmlrSHAke
And Hayden continued talking.
33Please respect copyright.PENANANBytGeoXfM
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
33Please respect copyright.PENANAFUWAqXNsCi
Elizabeth frowned.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA2f3DFbKUuQ
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAfIHZBCooex
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA4ewzyZpxYL
"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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAss5XfJAbeQ
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA2IE8C5W6Yy
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAQZ2g984GGI
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnbgj4EIaOn
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAgJrnO40cGu
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAzNc5fdp3z2
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkyzyGvK7ZP
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.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATBHkbcDdB0
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
33Please respect copyright.PENANArrdQOlaKyt
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA11QTH0D0rL
He shook his head negatively.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAwFaamT6Drq
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnKbR9ac9Ij
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
33Please respect copyright.PENANANS5dduoP22
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
33Please respect copyright.PENANArYgKHVYhAc
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAn6oypFh7wL
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAGsSSjrbaVF
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAmnMkkiLeQD
He sighs quitely.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAKPthB97rEN
" 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."
33Please respect copyright.PENANA0k8fMFFw00
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAo865xeh0zc
" 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."
33Please respect copyright.PENANA1NmAQ8dKol
He nodded quietly.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsIFQUXlRh2
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAgxQVn92m6g
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
33Please respect copyright.PENANADIX47kET8x
" 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."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkBSXFJOG4J
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
