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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswrKCW1wcf
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZDvTvcBxX
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvCwFm6Xno
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ18irwqes
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIMzvQIkb5
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvS20R9iR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf21bnCpWvw
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZb90E0sUa
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx1C519357
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdHks4iReB
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8dZnhCQTq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdUUTEqMQX
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pRL1fZ1X0
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?
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPuBLJdcdH
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBTFw3rJlW
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS3TZTY0xn
I can't describe that feeling in words.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZNXiUyDB
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ckPC7SYt
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKdBJejznS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW5j9daaYx
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IumFplHV
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajILxtWICi
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHQvYqcRqF
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvYH5c2BqD
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8aNkRvzQf
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc1r1i7rek
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7PY4ZQjta
And Hayden continued talking.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkchtGDyB
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z8SldfHgK
Elizabeth frowned.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBeOKNsa8
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv93DxsPUr
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ju8Oy3ZTz
"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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPKsBwChrS
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVUUFM4Ykr
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfINiljlKJc
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XE8pSRxtP
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMh9g0qNKx
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbgqQzA8Pm
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKiPe3FCV8
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkcUJVl9y5
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYQo5CE3Qt
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykU2n0Wz6b
He shook his head negatively.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojEKv3jQng
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HZm4TraEu
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfMEvfODk1
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwlSR5quBr
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucgS6Ha3gb
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0g0zK1Wvh
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmqRqOU9Rl
He sighs quitely.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7z8kxY3L
" 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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9gdpiBSGV
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG2zdMC15A
" 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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ2JJUi3vi
He nodded quietly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgweYM6VYKC
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5LfsCHlVF
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX2OJ3HrqF
" 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."
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPdZi7j38G
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
