Billie Eilish walks into a tattoo shop at 1:12 a.m.
She doesn't want ink.
She doesn't want pictures.
She just doesn't want to be alone.
Nyx Calder works nights for a reason. Silence suits her. Pain doesn't scare her. And famous girls with haunted eyes aren't her problem-until Billie keeps coming back.
What starts as late-night conversations and borrowed cigarettes turns into something heavier. Something dangerous.
Billie is unraveling under the weight of her own mind-depression, insomnia, intrusive thoughts she never talks about. Nyx doesn't try to save her. She just stays. Hands steady. Voice low. Presence grounding.
But intimacy gets complicated when one of you belongs to the world, and the other refuses to.
Still Breathing Next to You is a slow-burn, WLW story about desire, mental illness, control, and choosing to stay alive when someone finally sees you in the dark.
