This story follows Bishop - Alamo Brown's calm, terrifying right-hand man - and Darcie, a quiet 22-year-old girl who accidentally wanders into the wrong world and somehow becomes the only soft thing left in HIS life. I do not own any of the euphoria characters in this story except my own.

They grew up together. Nate Jacobs and Lila Maren Whitemore had been inseparable for as long as anyone could remember-through childhood, through high school, and into the messy reality they now lived in. He became one of the most recognized football players in school, the kind of guy people watched, talked about, wanted. And she... she was the quiet one. The soft one. The one who never asked for attention, yet somehow kept all of his. Because while everyone else wanted Nate Jacobs, he only ever wanted her. And somewhere along the way, that want turned into something deeper-something possessive, something he couldn't control.

Honey and Fez were never supposed to make it this far. Five years later, they're still standing side by side. Ride together. Die together.
