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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTAEoC9TnM
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnhBWhURLE
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbPEuNm8eh
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeQJdTLoPc
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHegNI5VeR4
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl4sw6ffZs
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5UiJFtMBA
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTJN5YUpL
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5hXvXeSdf
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfp2FKGV0j
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY9oR3ggwo
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvpXsVoQtK
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7B1DoizRi
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?
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlrra9zpGp
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4OWKnP1Of
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6aY5LUFI6
I can't describe that feeling in words.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX4VXopZEi
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpRKMaHoX0
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhySB4QSNGu
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58VVJvJO8s
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLveUvxNonf
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDyu3quSaz
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc513Zh0blh
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kjp7BZHvq
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP7a5B388N
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HoLTRjcrK
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5oG3F3oro
And Hayden continued talking.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8ekhcN4F
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9kORQJjoe
Elizabeth frowned.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Dd8xXaWL
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSnP7wSsHs
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi42UgM9A3m
"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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi1JZGhd0d
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsa6CjpaYb
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENawkHle9F
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQPTYAVFkK
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDij1ZHmZmc
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktepQfIa3E
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9v2XGCzf
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.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT0cRncYSX
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Kk0M236C
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuLHmS7cVl
He shook his head negatively.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMrkX0tFm7
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAiXLWAjc
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8KZ0ks1zk
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxklYBMJvS
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlfZyGGkCW
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBz222ukYX
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDukbNtMRQG
He sighs quitely.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSoKNOfu2S
" 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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbtCINpNDk
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQXb7W3k40
" 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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7aTLKrs9l
He nodded quietly.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPYZRaHxXJ
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetUIO09TLj
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTMQrvGHF9
" 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."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibgQFV954w
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
