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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eya83DBwp
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lvNdGxZjZ
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoRNConTRK
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeAWd1iBQK
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrjZZSEXNF
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfYtc5TcnY
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRYMmOBA1m
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJsUfNFkad
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm0oFnbuB2
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYeCoKamjP
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdLIgwTWF5
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWjndJDRTb
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?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv5ThYf9S5
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZBPrRooA
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz1Gj12Gfh
I can't describe that feeling in words.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuO4ykr5on
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMDHbqhlVC
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXofZfqtEdf
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOykSOy0Ox
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgBHDVuSf
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzc37KFa6O
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZimXrSSLcx
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEVmn2GriQ
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPUOoMftXG
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G1HjSDTYC
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGN7kpACbc
And Hayden continued talking.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaP1GdkhaH
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPODQ8pEhRg
Elizabeth frowned.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq4JFtWRDi
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9Vqt4mgM
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmq8cr5CQ6
"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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxAj4lclXq
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9TTbsZPL1
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoASlitOAX
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz2SjwNI1k
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidqx1KoMsp
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf2IXdJnLS
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxcLcBPBt
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgQ07mcYdB
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARpRMNJSZF
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMd8POGJtE
He shook his head negatively.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOTfgdAFaz
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyWx6j6osf
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8va4MCvYZ
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRR0mJ8ImM
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGNNxnobbq
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByvXo3x31
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwRWU41DSO
He sighs quitely.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL6VYjoF3R
" 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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9XreFpPS7
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSrvpHPsQ0
" 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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdcfwCfvOw
He nodded quietly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBU8dTS5e4
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrFOyQ6lS
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZ5G24B8I
" 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."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEy4eZneUR
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
