You! You're the One! (Camren One Shot)

You! You're the One!

The first words your soulmate says to you are tattooed on you AU

This AU is overused, but I saw this Tumblr post and the idea was too good to pass up. I can totally see these personalities as Lauren and Camila so, here you go.

The one where Lauren's first words to her soulmate totally spoiled Camila's favorite book for her.

------

Lauren loved the idea of having a soulmate when she was younger. The thought that you could find the one person who compliments you best, and be so certain that they were the one for you, was always a comfort to her. When she was eight and was finally old enough to almost understand what a soulmate was, she was ecstatic to about her tattoo. Lauren swore that every time she read the words that have been on her wrist since birth, she'd swoon.

You! You're the one!

She thought her tattoo couldn't be more perfect. All the scenarios she came up with fit her idea of the perfect, cliché meeting with the love of her life. She was the one. She could hear them saying it with so much passion and love. She could not wait to be the one for someone. Lauren became what one would call a hopeless romantic. She loved the idea of love. By the time she was thirteen, her favorite pastime became reading cliché teen romance novels. In all the romance novels she read, Lauren loved that these people got to spend their lives with the love of their life and live happily ever after. Laurens parents became concerned at a certain point with her obsession of love and romance novels.

"It's just not healthy." Clara whispered to Mike.

They were in the kitchen while some relatives were over for dinner. Lauren had spent all of the dinner with her nose in one of her books, paying no mind to anyone else, smiling to herself as she read. Clara and Mike were upset that Lauren was isolating herself by reading constantly.

"She's just excited about her soulmate. And there are worse things she could be doing than reading about love." Lauren's grandmother defended.

"I'm just concerned she's getting her hopes up. Those books are clichés, and while having soulmates is a beautiful thing, it doesn't mean there aren't ups and downs. Relationships still take work." Clara argues.

"What if she creates a false perception of a great love story and she gets disappointed? I just don't want to see her heart get broken." Mike adds.

Lauren had heard her parents and her grandmother say her name, so she snuck over to the kitchen to eavesdrop. Lauren knew her parents were concerned, but she wasn't dumb, she knew her reality wouldn't be exactly like the books.

"Lauren is a smart girl. She knows the difference between reality and fiction. She's just excited for her soulmate and living vicariously through her book characters for the time being. She'll be okay, I promise."

Lauren smiled at her grandma's words. She had always understood and defended Lauren. Her grandma was basically one of her best friends. Lauren entered the kitchen after that, wanting to put her parent's minds at ease. She confirmed that her grandmother was right, and she was aware of the hardships that came with all relationships. Lauren agreed to put the book away while the family was visiting, and she would binge read her book later.

By the time she was fifteen, Lauren had expanded beyond romance novels. Her grandmother had bought her some new books to try and broaden her horizons. Sometimes her grandma would read the same books so they could hold their own mini book club and discuss them. Lauren loved reading in general and found many new genres she enjoyed. She never did read sad romance novels, though. She always found a way to know a love story ended happily, even if it meant spoiling the book for herself. She never liked the idea of a love story ending tragically.
