The year is now 2020.

THIRD PERSON POV:

It's the middle of the night. "Elena...Elena please! I miss you. Please come back to me." Stefan yelled out while in deep sleep. He's been having the same old nightmares. But as he wakes up he notices he's somewhat living in that nightmare.

Stefans POV:

I lay on the bed for a few more minutes. You've gotta get up already man. I turnover and check my phone it's only 6 in the mornin'. I should prolly go for a run. I finally get up and put on some sweats and a tank. It's Havaii it'll be hot as the sunrises. I grab a few things before I head out the door. I start off walking. "Hey there neighbor." I look over and it's Camille O'Connell heading to work I assumed. "Oh hey Cam how've you been?" I stay still on the sidewalk. "I've been good. I was getting worried, you usually come out around 5." She said laughing. "Yea I've been trying to get some more sleep in...anyways I'll be on my way now. Say hi to Jimmy (her husband) for me will ya?" "No problem, have a nice day." She said. "You too" I start off with a light jog, then I get into running. "Aloha kakahiaka!" I hear somebody else. I come to a full stop. It's Nana. "Oh morning Nana. How you been?" "I'm great ipo. Come take a water break." I walk over to her house where she's sitting on her porch and sit on the chair next to her. "What's troubling you son?" She said. There it is. "Ah it's nothing." "Ipo, ever since you've gotten here you always take runs in the morning and long walks on the beach at night. Usually when someone does that, it's to get their mind off things. Sooo What's on your mind?"she asked again. I didn't think anybody would notice. "It's the past, it's like... I can never move on from it even though I've moved away from it." I said. "It sucks. The past I mean. But the truth is, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you can realize the situation is over, you can't move forward."she said. I sigh in reply. She takes that as a que to keep going. "A wise man once said, If you want to fly, you have to give up what's weighing you down. So it's only best to forgive and forget."she said. I wish it were that easy even tho it's been years. "Thank you, Nana. I'll drop off some food later on in the afternoon." "Yeess! I will really wait!" I laugh and give her a hug and start going towards the road to start jogging again. That lady has turned into a mother figure, more like grandmother, for me.

I've been running now for more than 20 minutes. So I decided I should probably head home and take a nice cold shower. And just as I'm about to cross the road a car speeds in front of me. *BEEEP BEEEP* I screamed out, " YOOOOOOOO. WHAT THE HECK?!!"

ELENAS POV:

I'm on my way to work. Boy was it busy. I've recently become a real estate agent and decided to move to Hawaii and here I am now. I needed a way to pay off my student loans and I heard these guys make a lot. What I really want be is a writer. I'll get there somehow.

I've only been here for a week, so I am completely lost rn. Shucks how long have I been driving. But what I didn't notice was that I was traveling 15mph over the speed limit and just as I get to a four-way intersection, a guy comes running out from the sidewalk oh shi-. I honk my horn. "YOOOOOOOO. WHAT THE HECK?!!" The person yells. I can't stop tho I'm trying to find my way to work and I'm almost late! "I'm sorry!!" I yell back.

Hopefully that person is ok. It's weird tho. I have this happy and tingling feeling inside of me. I don't know why ,but I remember only one person could do that to me. And I haven't felt that way in years. I can't say his name cause it just brings back too many painful memories. I want to forget ,but it'll only make me think more about the past. What's funny tho is that when I look at my rear view mirror, the person is just standing there looking at the car. Uggghhh I'm still lost. I should hurry up.

STEFANS POV:

What in the world was that? WHO was that even?
I don't why ,but I suddenly get this stupid feeling. Whatever I needa get home make some calls to some agents. Oh yea ,I'm a private real estate investor. Nobody knows around here. But it's has those rich communities type vibes because of how modern most houses are around here. Getting into real estate was the best decision I've ever made. From that broke 18 year old to all that I now have. I'm very thankful God is guiding me to do bigger things. And since I don't have contact with any of my family members. Absolutely nobody knows I've become a multimillionaire. I like it cause I don't want anybody to treat me differently just cause I got money.
And also living in Havaii helps me forget what had happened all those years ago.


AUTHORS NOTES:
Rushed chapter.
Ipo-sweetheart.
Hopefully I used those Hawaiian words correctly. Since this is a fanfic, coronavirus does not occur in the story. But anyways... yesss! Ladies and gentlemen it's about time we have a little bit of drama. Wouldn't you like to know what happened?!!
