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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9s4uPK4GU7
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAd4fB7Vca8I
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9DdlhbvGGO
"Lizzy..." A voice whispers behind her. And when she turned she was stunned to see Hayden standing in front of her.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAIMbT92IwTX
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAj8TDRKXdD4
She didn't mean anything to him.

FLASHBACK
31Please respect copyright.PENANA3gL1uiiJaG
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQzPhQ21UYt
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAquscfbt9MI
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAcu0VZ3cacF
My heart knew the answer.
But I always asked myself one question.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAo4e8D6wKKU
Was attracted to Elizabeth because she looked like Azalea?
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxSiGSX4Ype
Or I was attracted to her for who she was?
31Please respect copyright.PENANAATO4WT1YgU
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZWiKiNL0NQ
How she made me feel. I was speechless around her but I always tried to show my cool and annoy her.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA2xoozCTde9
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?
31Please respect copyright.PENANAuh0FsPaBvn
It wasn't just a coincidence I don't believe that.
31Please respect copyright.PENANALHLi8LtbHr
I remember the way her hand felt in mine when I asked to dance with me. How her lips felt damn good on mine.
31Please respect copyright.PENANADpPyLyXhxC
I can't describe that feeling in words.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAELRIyp5SPQ
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAWWnPmw6OVI
I still regret that day and the decision I made.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA3GNMSrHD13
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAUJA6fLBVuT
If Sage was here she would have rubbed it in myself.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAHKd5IRaNKT
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAQwCZsE2gYh
This was my chance to finally talk to her and not chicken out just because of my inner demons that tormented me.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAeIqp39CPVl
I began walking towards her.

"Lizzy..." Hayden whispers.
31Please respect copyright.PENANANmHspbZern
Elizabeth glared at him and got up to leave and walked past him.
31Please respect copyright.PENANANGSADKdaWZ
"Hey wait!" He yelled while following her. He grabbed her wrist and stopped her.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAOEOFsHBrjY
"Please look at me..." He pleaded.
Elizabeth looked at him with a puzzled look.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAvu2y9ORaUy
And Hayden continued talking.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA5La6rwU41x
"I know you're hurting believe me so am I I'm so sorry-"
31Please respect copyright.PENANAAEf43AWTFg
Elizabeth frowned.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA9maeXhebPw
"Last time I checked you didn't want to see my face so what changed?" She demanded angrily.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAomXIPb7hwr
Hayden sighs deeply and shakes his head.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAz2UclWFcMH
"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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAnluqDCn2JD
Hayden follows her and stops her yet again.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAk50s0T1cd6
"Yes you were right I'm a coward" he admits bodly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAIZyw18D9IY
Elizabeth crosses her arms over her chest cocking a questioning eyebrow at him.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAiNxPYU3oLx
Hayden smiled and took her by surprise and pulled her into his arms. She began struggling in his arms.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAqwTf6O07Ee
"Stop it! Lizzy yells angrily. He silences her by placing his lips on hers and she struggles to push him away.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAcbqaA1PwaY
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANALvpDhBKzhR
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.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAtdT10O5QvQ
Hayden pulls back regaining his breath and he releases Elizabeth. She stared at him and blushed.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAKmOHKLyv6P
"So you're gonna start ignoring me?" She asked in a whisper.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAV4gVpkQ4fk
He shook his head negatively.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA1KiKmQN6NA
"I won't ever ignore you Elizabeth" he mutters sternly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAcbeZKgfhhG
"Pinky promise right?" She pressed innocently and Hayden chuckled lightly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANARpjauyP6oR
"Yes I promise come on let's go."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAzmIIQNZ2ms
And they held hands. Elizabeth blushes.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAZnsDKcqVjB
"So are we a couple now?" She asked shyly and Hayden nodes in response making Elizabeth giggle.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAxqb4xSPRRM
"What changed your mind?" I thought you were still in love with my sister."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAYmQkbQpNm4
He sighs quitely.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXLPqKtbn9c
" 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."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ychjtfIp
Elizabeth wiped her tears away.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMoZCXvjHCx
" 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."
31Please respect copyright.PENANAXBqCa8LEWO
He nodded quietly.
31Please respect copyright.PENANA1AM2eaEkkl
" What about Dylan?" Hayden asked curiously. Elizabeth burst out laughing.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAMpIiTCPPJO
"Oh you're afraid of him?" She demands and Hayden shakes his head negatively.
31Please respect copyright.PENANAfXjFTEBRpN
" 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."
31Please respect copyright.PENANA522iTlfhP9
Lizzh giggles and drags him away while rolling her eyes.
