Author's Note Note: This story contains explicit language and mature themes. This story has been sitting in my drafts since 2023, and I'm finally reworking the plot and filling in the gaps to give these characters the depth they deserve. Heavily inspired by music and the "what ifs" of life, this is my first long-form story, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This serves as an alternative/extended ending to the short story Nevermine, Nevermind from the Whispers In The Wind collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
