Camila's POV
I sat with Lucy as she chattered away about the modeling company she was in, places she's been to, people she's got to meet etc. etc. Don't get me wrong, I love Lucy and all, but she's been talking a lot this entire night. And I mean a lot. She was excited about introducing me to her two friends, but at the moment I could care less. I looked at the solo cup in my hand wondering what color it could have been.
"-and oh lord, don't get me started,-"
"Hey Lucy?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you see color?"
"Oh yeah! Of course I can. Honestly, it's probably the most magical thing you can experience-"
And as Lucy continued talking, I tuned her out. I wonder who her soulmate was and why they weren't here with her. I mean obviously they aren't dead because once your soulmate is dead your world goes back to that dull black and white color for the rest of your life.
My attention was finally pulled back once I heard a husky voice shout out Lucy's name. I had only glanced up to look at the two people who were coming and my eyes met both of their gazes. As I looked at the taller girl that was coming towards us, I nearly dropped my cup in shock. I could actually see color!
"Lauren! Hey, I'm so glad you could make it!"
Lucy stood up going to hug who I assumed was Lauren. It was a beautiful name for a beautiful person. She had such magnificent eyes that glittered even in the dull light of the room. She was tall, and had great clothing style apparently, judging by how she dressed. She was wearing some dark beanie on her head, and the rest of her clothes were a dark color. I needed to search up the colors when I got home.
I just couldn't believe that this magnificent creature could be my soulmate?
I mean I knew of her. She was in the top girlband group Fourth Harmony. Although I preferred to call them 4H because Fourth Harmony had a weird ring to it. We had never met in person though. Imagine if we did, I could have spent my years with her, instead of just starting it now. We could have known that we were soulmates earlier.
God why does life always fuck with me.
I was pulled along with Lucy as she went to go greet the two people. I was still staring in shock at Lauren when Lucy nudged me to introduce myself.
"Hi! I'm Camila!"
The girl with the magnificent eyes, smiled at me, making my heart flutter.
"I'm Lauren," she greeted in her husky voice. I just smiled at her and turned to look at the girl next to her. Only to see that she was just staring at me with an unreadable expression. After a few seconds of her staring at me saying nothing, I just mumbled, "Rude."
"Anyway it was great meeting you Lauren. Much less your friend though..."
The girl next to Lauren just snapped her head up in shock, looking at me, before turning angry. She muttered a quick, "Asshole," before she left Lauren's side.
"Oh, sorry about Y/n. She's just not good with meeting new people I guess. Don't worry about her, she'll come around."
I took my attention off Lauren to get a quick glance at Y/n. She was at the kitche table, downing a cup full of alcohol.
That definitely won't be good for her later.
She still had a weird expression on her face. Although she was rude, something about her made me intrigued. Maybe her mysterious personality.
I quickly focused my attention back to Lauren, and focused on the conversation happening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scratch Lauren being magnificent. There are absolutely no words to describe her. Her mind was beautiful. The way she passionately talked about topics, so that people could see the way she viewed it. She always carefully thought about what she was going to say first, before she expressed it. I was absolutely awestruck.
The party was slowly going down and I had spent the entirety of it listening to Lauren ramble on about reasons Donald Trump wasn't fit to be elected for president.
"He's just such a misogynist pig! I don't even fucking understand how anyone-"
"Yo Lauren, you might wanna get Y/n," a boy came up to us and slurred to Lauren. Her eyebrows furrowed when she had heard the boy and asked what was up.
"She's getting bothered by Zayn and his younger brother dude."
Lauren shot up out of her seat. "Hey Camila, stay here for a moment yeah?"
"No, it's fine I'll go with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, Lauren."
Seeing that I wouldn't change my mind anytime soon, Lauren grabbed my wrist with her warm hands. I nearly broke out in a goofy smile but held it in as she led us around Lucy's house looking for Y/n.
Lauren stopped dead in her tracks a few mintes later, making me bump into her firm back.
"God, she smells like fucking vanilla. HOW?"
I peered over her shoulder and I was shocked and confused at what I saw.
There was Y/n being surrounded by 3 guys and she just stood there being pushed around. Her head was down looking at the ground.
A guy with nicely styled hair shoved her by her shoulder hard, making her stumble and hit the wall, still she kept her eyes on the floor. Why?
"Come on Y/n. Why don't you ever show a reaction huh? Goddamn it's so annoying."
The guy went closer to her while the two guys stayed back. He lifted his hand up and gripped her chin making her look at his eyes. Her eyes looked, dead, to put it. He lifted his other hand and tapped her cheek.
"Come on, say something. Just a word Y/n." He smirked at her.
She continued saying nothing. It was clear to see the guy was getting frustrated. Another guy spoke up. This time he looked like the younger version of the guy who was gripping Y/n.
"Come on freak! What? You think you got a full ride scholarship to some top colleges, that you're better than us?"
The older guy finally had enough and gripped Y/n's shoulders and slammed her harder into the wall. It was this moment when Lauren finally took action.
She ran up and punched the guy who held Y/n. As he stumbled to the ground Lauren glared at him and his goons making them falter a little bit.
She turned her attention away to focus on Y/n. She held Y/n's head up as Y/n just stood there. She quickly lifted one of Y/n's arms over her shoulder, prepared to help Y/n walk, until the oldest guy had spoken up.
"Oh come on Lauren. There's no need to play a damned fucking hero. You probably don't even like the freak anyway. Stop caring for her if you're gonna leave her in the long run. Obviously that's what her dad did."
Lauren just ignored his words and made her way over to me with Y/n hanging onto her.
"I'm sorry Camila. I should be taking Y/n home right now."
"No, uhm, I-I'll go with you."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I, uhm, I want to help."
Lauren sent me a small smile and walked towards the hallway to the front door. She quickly stopped to whisper in a girl's ear to tell her to tell Lucy that she was leaving. As we stepped out, the wave of cold, fresh air hit us. I smiled in relief in getting away from the humid air in the house.
We slowly walked to Lauren's car and Lauren opened the back doors and gently laid Y/n down on the seats. After securing Y/n in she closed the door and turned to me.
Lauren sighed pinching the bridge of her nose. "I am so sorry you had to see that. Y/n hasn't been like this for awhile since her problems last time. I hope this won't change your perspectives of her even more."
I smiled at Lauren's caring attitude toward Y/n. "It's fine Lauren, really. We should probably hurry to her house though."
Lauren gave me a small smile and nodded. She opened the passenger door for me, making my heart flutter. I put on my seatbelt at she jogged towards the driver side. She quickly put in the car keys and started the car slowly backing out of the driveway and onto the streets.
As she drove, there was soft music playing in the car, making the atmosphere relaxing. I couldn't help but wonder about Y/n. She seemed rude, but also mysterious and only intigued me even more.
