Clashing waves: a love story

Arriving in Hawaii

Evie falls asleep on the plane ride to Hawaii. Steve has time to think about what the future may hold for him and Evie. He knows he loves her and he won't let her go without a fight again. He should've fought harder for her to come to Hawaii after they left the Navy. God he's missed her so much.
Steve's brought out of his thoughts by Evie waking up two hours before they landed. She yawns and stretches her arms as she was curled up on Steve's chest.

"Sleep well?" Steve asks with a soft smile.

"Yea thank you." Evie says kissing his lips gently.

"You always feel asleep on me during the plane ride to Hawaii." Steve mentions the other times Evies been to Hawaii with Steve during leave from the Navy.

"You're a comfy pillow." Evie says with a smirk and a shrug.

Steve chuckles as he shakes his head at the love of his life.

"Dad would be happy that we are officially together and that you're coming to live in Hawaii." Steve says with a sad smile.

John Mcgarrett adored Evie, and she adored him.
They got along like a house on fire. Steve can still remember coming home from a late night swim to find his dad and Evie drunk off their ass giggling like school girls and looking at embarrassing photos of the lieutenant commander.
Steve knew then that Evie was the one. He went out and bought a ring. He promised himself that when they were done in the navy he'd propose. But it's been four years and he's missed her so much, and maybe if he would've been there or asked her when they left the navy maybe he'd have saved her from the heartache that she went through.

"He would also be proud of the man you've become Steve." Evie says cupping Steve's cheek.

"I like to think so." Steve responds with a sad smile .

"I loved your father, he was like the dad I never had. Phillip Buckley wasn't what fell off of being a father. I'm just glad I could've been here for his funeral ." Evie says.

They were on their last mission just before the humvee landed on Evie when John got murdered. After the accident Steve tried to tell Evie to rest but she, being stubborn as ever, flew to Hawaii and was here for Johns funeral and for Steve.

"I know, he loved you too." Steve says.

"So do you actually forgive Diaz for everything he did to you?" Steve asks, changing the subject and Evie lets him.

"I don't know. I don't want to but I also want to be able to stay in contact with Chris." Evie explains.

"And you feel like if you forgive him at least say you do, he'll let you keep talking to Chris?" Steve states more than asks.

"Yea, I can't forgive him though, he hurt me way to bad. He used me then threw me away like trash when Shannon came back. And I get him trying to want to make things work with his wife but he could've talked to me instead of just basically ghosting me. Then the truck bombing then he tells me there's no one he trusts with Chris more then me. Then the tsunami. Now he says if he dies I get Chris I just don't know what to do about this whole situation." Evie explained as she flings her head into the headrest behind her.

Steve's fists clench at the thought of someone using Evie. If he gets the chance Diaz will get a ear full from him.

"Angel, I'm so sorry that he treated you like that. And it's not fair for him to put you in the situation of being Chris's guardian if something happens to him, but I know you and I know you usually forgive way too easily." Steve says kissing Evies knuckles.

"You're right I do, I've learnt through therapy that that's because I don't want people to leave me." Evie says sadly.

"I'm never going to leave you, you're my ohana which means family in Hawaiian. Our brothers will never leave you. We all love you so much." Steve says matter of factly.
