Not everything our loved ones tell us is true. Sometimes they have shitty secrets from the past and try by all means to keep that secret but sooner or later it will be exposed.

FLASH BACK
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp21dikCBZC
I left Elizabeth eating her breakfast when I arrived at my room. I closed the door behind me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClhMHP7krf
My phone rang and stared at the caller ID anxiously. I took a deep breath and answered the phone call.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGjHPLnIG2
"I've been trying your number all day" the other person on the other end scolded.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0NNoybUjZ
And I sighed deeply.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMpPsvRVIT
" Anyway forget maybe you don't care about Leah."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Df9yZIy8b
I shook my head negatively.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyNvnbYrJ
" I care about my daughter, how is she doing?" I asked curiously.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E5fvjgcGw
"I know it's been years and she belongs to another family. She'll never acknowledge me as her mother. But I want to watch her grow up even if I'm behind the shadows."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4jeK2UGF8
" She probably hates me" I sobbed miserably.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UU0v0oMCL
" Look Verona, I can't promise you anything about forming a relationship with her but I'll always let you know how she's doing and invite her to her birthdays."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp1fxjkh6p
I nodded quietly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlwj30WDBV
" Thank you Jane."
" Sure thing."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo3qodTcCq
The call got disconnected and I sobbed miserably.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xxx0mri3B
Someone had tipped me off that my daughter never died that night, surprisingly a nurse had watched everything happen and after ten years she finally had the courage to reveal that secret.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89rsTRzZ2
A rich family had adopted my daughter and they named her Azalea. Unfortunately they lived in Paris so I couldn't meet her physically but Jane always sent me her pictures.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWvEa32rxM
After she had learnt how corrupt the hospital was she applied for a job as nanny at the same house.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtJ5IoIZkv
Jane became Azalea's nanny ever since she told my everything we've been communicating.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nL7OEMuck
My first instincts were to go claim my daughter but I couldn't. I was just a stranger to her and I always felt guilty because I almost killed myself with my alcohol addiction.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeilgPHxIA5
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOQi2Or61
I missed my daughter.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fA1kZtg3V
Years later Jane stopped working there because Azalea had grown up and she was getting married.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3E81ttTgt
Of course I went to the wedding and made up some excuse to Elizabeth. That day I witnessed everything with my own eyes.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYfbzdzhU
I was so happy for her but yet I couldn't express the love I felt towards my daughter.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqZAaiC8t
I had gotten my chance to hug her and congratulate her. She never recognized me and I couldn't blame her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwiPqmPsxQ
Later Jane called me with bad news Azalea had died while giving birth and she had left a baby girl behind.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NrfFGBwh0
That night her husband had also gotten involved in a road accident.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWHNLWfcEd
I was heartbroken and often locked myself in my room. I couldn't let Elizabeth see me.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjxuc1j2eY
She had lost her sister.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9orlYw7uo
I was left with Elizabeth and I vowed to protect her but the secret I was hiding kept torturing me with so much guilt.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVcatY7Ll
I was lying to Elizabeth every day of her life. I always died a little when she would often say; mom, I wish I had a sister.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKhqHzjYR
Guilt.

60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWNlQg4qbU
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUVjysiyig
Marcus and I exchanged glances as we both stared at Hayden who was very quiet; he was lost in thoughts.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNK5nKKvOk
"Go talk to him dear" Marcus urged and I nodded quietly and sat beside him.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1qgBMoFMB
"Son" I said softly and placed my hand on Hayden's shoulder and he blinked, snapping out of his thoughts.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0GVgKIH4
"Mom , I didn't notice you," he said quietly and I nodded.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pE7J71Ig4
"It's alright what were you thinking about?" I asked curiously and he sighed deeply.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVsXo51J1h
" You can tell me anything, feel free" I muttered coolly assuring him and he nodded.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2N475VSGM
"I know mom."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQEuhXV21b
Silence.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUkGTVqj1B
"I don't know why mom but I haven't seen her full face yet but the girl next door has Azalea's traits. It's driving me insane. They literally have the same gorgeous brown eyes. I know it's been five years now since Azalea left this world I'm failing to connect the dots."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLDWry7cWQ
What I feared the most was happening Hayden hadn't moved on yet.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpPEcC4VEB
"Azalea is gone and you should just admit that to yourself. You're only seeing Azalea in the girl next door because you haven't accepted that she's dead. Don't be delusional Hayden you know she's gone for good this time" I said softly Hayden nods quietly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8nPx16aV2
"I'll make you a cup of coffee."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEVXsuCGAE
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO9D05LitQ
Things weren't easy for Hayden especially ever since Azalea left this world.
But he had to be strong for Theodora.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY828dR6nKs
I only lasted this long in the vampire world because Marcus had turned on me at the last moment he claimed me as his wife. The council couldn't do anything because Marcus was born into a very powerful and influential family.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfNqwI1ZCe
I was human and Marcus was half human half vampire when we met so both of my kids were special but Hayden was just something else.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSrCOgbHWy
But when Hayden also fell in love with a human the council couldn't take it. They banished Hayden.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjodemYJUS
The painful memory made my body cringe.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnneIJ8ByP
A lot of blood was shed that fateful night but I think we made the right decision in the end because Hayden needed his family more than anything.

When mom left I got up and looked outside the window staring at her window.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4twX9nt14
She wasn't there but I could feel her breathing.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2S8ouXqbF
I closed my eyes and focused all my energy on the window.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH3zl4wATQ
I could see her on the bed reading a book but her face was unclear. The vision got blurry and I blocked the connection.
"Azalea..."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h614RgnjN
My powers were still weak.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYE1Cq89FA
Someone tapped me on the shoulder when I turned around I frowned when I saw Sage grinning.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXg98yrdMf
My frown deepens.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUpctCQYGK
"Oh I see my big brother is now stalking the girl next door" she teases.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzMkFVwCUj
I rolled my eyes at her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP0dq3qo6k
" Don't overreact Sage. I just enjoy looking at their garden. They have nice flowers," I said quietly and walked past her.

I cocked a brow when Hayden left and looked at the window. I gasped and escaped my lips.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVlwI3SFBP
"It's just a plain lawn that means Hayden was lying. I knew it. So it means that there's a possibility that he might like the girl next door."

The morning I started college again, maybe it would help me clear my head a bit.I already completed college a long time ago but I just needed something to help me lay low for a while.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2upy0qRuGY
I packed the necessary books and stuff and wore a leather jacket and black denim jeans. A few minutes later I got
my motorcycle and drove to the institution.

I can't breathe (Chopsquad), I can't breathe, 999
Waiting for the exhale
I toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
Stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Ring-ring, phone call from depression
You used my past and my memories as a weapon
On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh
Speaking of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them
This can't be real, is it fiction?
Something' feels broke, need to fix it
I cry out for help, do they listen?
I'ma be alone until it's finished
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lyin'
I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
It's stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
Let's be for real
If it wasn't for the pills, I wouldn't be here
But if I keep taking these pills, I won't be here, yeah
I just told y'all my secret, yeah
It's tearing me to pieces
I really think I need them
I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me
This is the part where I tell you I'm fine, but I'm lyin'
I just don't want you to worry
This is the part where I take all my feelings and hide 'em
'Cause I don't want nobody to hurt me
I can't breathe, I'm waiting for the exhale
Toss my pain with my wishes in a wishing well
Still no luck, but oh, well
I still try even though I know I'm gon' fail
It's stress on my shoulders like a anvil
Perky got me itching like a anthill
Drugs killing me softly, Lauryn Hill
Sometimes I don't know how to feel

Twenty minutes later I arrived and parked my motorcycle. All eyes were on me especially from the girls their boyfriends kept giving me nasty looks.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSXtbjpgw
Besides, I wasn't even interested in their so-called girlfriends.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHssbkw8isJ
While walking I bumped into someone and hot coffee spilled on his white t-shirt. The girl's books got knocked out of her hands, everything fell and she bent over picking her soaked books and homework.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtBaL8WwPi
"Are you blind or something?" I demanded. The girl got up and faced me and when I saw her I lost it.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBFWY4ebU
"You literally bumped into me instead of apologizing you're here yelling at me. You snobbish brats are just arrogant and mannerless just like your parents."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOaRyYFXG
" Thanks to you all my assignments are soaked in fucking coffee!"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3CgWd4wl
She snapped her fingers in my face and I blinked.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmaGTYr7IL
" Azalea…"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvTA9aqv0D
The girl frowned.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXjnW5wi2c
"I don't have time to deal with an idiot like you so get lost."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTQUXYtPBs
She walked past me and I grabbed a smoothie from a random girl and followed her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsb0XIqvmR
"Hey! The girl whines but I didn't care.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rWEoUHXg
I poured the smoothie on the girls head and she gasped.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNU1FN8HKa
She turned around and faced.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShrC4fzqXi
"Soaked assignments and smoothie drips suit you and you talk way too much motor mouth" I taunted.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XJizQ9LIP
This girl wasn't Azalea in fact she was nothing like her.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSDA1SIOA6
Her face turned red and she slapped me across the face hard, everyone gasped in shock.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCwFakITl
Silence.
