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.

VERONA'S POV (ELIZABETH'S MOM)
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosrGudb02B
FLASH BACK
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85QXZ3gWr6
I left Elizabeth eating her breakfast when I arrived at my room. I closed the door behind me.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdueUeKjS6
My phone rang and stared at the caller ID anxiously. I took a deep breath and answered the phone call.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAETz4WieK
"I've been trying your number all day" the other person on the other end scolded.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmbHz508CU
And I sighed deeply.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0sBYvuN84
" Anyway forget maybe you don't care about Leah."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHSm9XaK2J
I shook my head negatively.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBWsDJ5RJU
" I care about my daughter, how is she doing?" I asked curiously.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEkjOsYE3z
"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."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXcAXcrbRW
" She probably hates me" I sobbed miserably.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NR9Qc8aXJ
" 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."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CwMT6E8nY
I nodded quietly.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ax5ezKRO
" Thank you Jane."
" Sure thing."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzv7zg7G2
The call got disconnected and I sobbed miserably.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVzDM3p5hV
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7OV3XqTuF
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZMs9MSLN
After she had learnt how corrupt the hospital was she applied for a job as nanny at the same house.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1EDmyvIPV
Jane became Azalea's nanny ever since she told my everything we've been communicating.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK8nD2aS9L
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nLP35SesQ
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4fe4iyQgy
I missed my daughter.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F5MRbi2xh
Years later Jane stopped working there because Azalea had grown up and she was getting married.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7aaiRZog
Of course I went to the wedding and made up some excuse to Elizabeth. That day I witnessed everything with my own eyes.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvMs4YupZv
I was so happy for her but yet I couldn't express the love I felt towards my daughter.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntUmzio2oW
I had gotten my chance to hug her and congratulate her. She never recognized me and I couldn't blame her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgTXBYuoeX
Later Jane called me with bad news Azalea had died while giving birth and she had left a baby girl behind.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y7ObggLDB
That night her husband had also gotten involved in a road accident.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkkoaKYOOB
I was heartbroken and often locked myself in my room. I couldn't let Elizabeth see me.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTW5bP17fb
She had lost her sister.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYv8HayiOf
I was left with Elizabeth and I vowed to protect her but the secret I was hiding kept torturing me with so much guilt.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wbLVXCM0
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbjIeCvORb
Guilt.

JADE'S POV (HAYDEN'S MOM)
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGcYWfdzm1
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ieVQigkJ
Marcus and I exchanged glances as we both stared at Hayden who was very quiet; he was lost in thoughts.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIduMkCTV10
"Go talk to him dear" Marcus urged and I nodded quietly and sat beside him.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXzAsLd4Kx
"Son" I said softly and placed my hand on Hayden's shoulder and he blinked, snapping out of his thoughts.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdwQpTyVnV
"Mom , I didn't notice you," he said quietly and I nodded.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaGGZvMwzK
"It's alright what were you thinking about?" I asked curiously and he sighed deeply.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHfy4DvWFo
" You can tell me anything, feel free" I muttered coolly assuring him and he nodded.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSpZZ3qaKB
"I know mom."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70XWjjtdgF
Silence.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbUPlcqOix
"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."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5AvZQ4hSX
What I feared the most was happening Hayden hadn't moved on yet.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K7dZdJkDt
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAuLcCH5vr
"I'll make you a cup of coffee."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEQTtgmzX3
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJh1mJFDhn
Things weren't easy for Hayden especially ever since Azalea left this world.
But he had to be strong for Theodora.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2mcZ6Zvh3
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJkaEYeGQ
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiONW20yHuX
But when Hayden also fell in love with a human the council couldn't take it. They banished Hayden.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRE5HUNFt7
The painful memory made my body cringe.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWiJ2zswaR
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMU4PPnj01
She wasn't there but I could feel her breathing.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYAfdFh3DA
I closed my eyes and focused all my energy on the window.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyhhqS1b3c
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..."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w0sI1OwyL
My powers were still weak.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsbEDsTO9t
Someone tapped me on the shoulder when I turned around I frowned when I saw Sage grinning.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIqmBNzzOb
My frown deepens.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybXHCzkfqO
"Oh I see my big brother is now stalking the girl next door" she teases.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc6B8nrUmO
I rolled my eyes at her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR4XywVdsz
" 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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZRmV7OP97
"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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWdyrbsEvu
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXrFcMrU62
Besides, I wasn't even interested in their so-called girlfriends.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYz1MVGKTU
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.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20YBOzI2Zk
"Are you blind or something?" I demanded. The girl got up and faced me and when I saw her I lost it.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wp4fiOHdU
"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."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMnV4hizey
" Thanks to you all my assignments are soaked in fucking coffee!"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfgy22Xg0g
She snapped her fingers in my face and I blinked.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIY6aMcePG
" Azalea…"
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9akotclUFy
The girl frowned.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaazpldTWME
"I don't have time to deal with an idiot like you so get lost."
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibWeMa08we
She walked past me and I grabbed a smoothie from a random girl and followed her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ceSvFnMo
"Hey! The girl whines but I didn't care.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2ObfJYDX
I poured the smoothie on the girls head and she gasped.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrYygWBVoJ
She turned around and faced.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0bjYE56E
"Soaked assignments and smoothie drips suit you and you talk way too much motor mouth" I taunted.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUA0udpcb9
This girl wasn't Azalea in fact she was nothing like her.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxBnpOoBH6
Her face turned red and she slapped me across the face hard, everyone gasped in shock.
58Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyEISZirzO
Silence.
