SOFIA'S POV:

I'm finally free and safe to say, it feels amazing. It's been around two months since everything went down and now here I am, living my best life.

I'm living where I've always wanted, Spain. It's been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember.  I don't know how long I plan on staying, but for now, all I can say is that it's paradise.

Currently, I am on a boardwalk, just enjoying the sound of the waves with an ice cream in hand. Finding a bench, I go to take a seat and enjoy the view in front of me.

I haven't made any friends here yet, but it's hard when I'm just learning the language, but so far I have been able to get around so I'll take it as a win for me. Do I miss the Outer Banks? Sometimes, but I needed to put it behind me.

There were too many bad memories associated there for me and I don't know how much longer I could have stayed there and not end up going bonkers. Sometimes it feels like Quinn, Rafe, and JJ are right there, but I can't reach them.

They are now a figment of my imagination, a memory waiting to be forgotten. Soon they will just be some people I used to know. I will forget their name and move on. I will meet someone just like them and replace my memories that way.

As I finish up my ice cream, I stretch by putting my arms above my head, moving side to side. When I get up, I see a shadow resembling someone that I think looks familiar. Squinting, I see as he walks closer.

JJ.

"Miss me princess?" He says to me and I can't even say anything. All I can do is stare in shock.

"I'm not alone," He smirks at me as another shadow emerges from behind him.

"Rafe?"

"You better run princess, because we are your deadly duo."
