Soulmates ~(Lafayette x Reader)~ Modern AU

Ch1

IMPORTANT: Just a reminder, the story isn't accurate with the modern time period. For example: duels are legal when it is official and the competitors have signed a form and as long as it isn't held in a public place. Just a reminder!

(If you need a guide (e.g Y/N = Your Name) there is one on my 'Max X Reader')

Your POV- (play song on repeat)

~~FLASHBACK~~

"I'm sorry for your loss..." The doctor trailed off. I knew exactly what he meant, Jones didn't make it... he still had a life to live, he deserved more time...

"Ms L/N, you have received injuries to your stomach area, I'm so sorry to tell you this but, I'm afraid you are unable to have kids..." I could hear the sincerity and sympathy in his voice.

I responded with a nod mainly just wanting him to leave, I now had bandages covering my arms, my left leg and my chest and stomach. I was one of those people who cover their soulmate's name, I didn't like the idea of walking past someone and they see their name on my wrist, I just seems strange to me. I look around the bland room, my eyes filling with tears. I lay down, crying myself to sleep...

~TIMESKIP~       (P.S I have an idea, it's to do with the unable to have kids part. So please don't be off-put by it)

I was at the funeral, only my brother's soulmate, three of his friends and myself were there, our parents left us a few years back. So, Jones raised me. He was 15 when our parents left us, I was 9.

I used my crutches to stand by his grave.

"R.I.P     

Jones L/N

A beloved brother to his young sister.

"I always told you, Y/N. 'Just because it's dark now doesn't mean it stays dark, it'll get brighter." -Jones L/N  12.12.2007

JONES L/N   5.7.1986 --  7.7.2008"

His grave read I sighed I started to make my way home... how am I gonna pay rent?! And go to school!? These questions would be answered soon, right now I just needed to sleep.

~~TIMESKIP... Again~~

I haven't been to school in a month, I'm behind on rent and I just ran out of food, conclusion: I'm fucked.

Wait, I could join the army... I mean, Jones trained me and maybe it would help me heal from losing my brother... Okay! I've made my choice, I'm joining the army!

I rushed to the phone to call Sharron, my brother's soulmate, "Hey Y/n, you need anythin'? " she happily asked, I paused for a moment.

"Actually, Sharron. I-I-I'm gonna join the military, I've made up my mind," I said looking at the photo of Jones and I that was sitting on the table in the living room, smiling as a few tears rolled down my cheeks I continued.

"That's what I'm gonna do, defend my country!"  I looked up and out the window ahead of me, the foggy skies above Washington DC.

"Oh..." She sounded disappointed "If that's what you want, Y/N"

I hesitated before replying "Yeah, I can't handle school, rent and food. I need to start fresh, I'm so sorry Sharron, you were and amazing big sister, but now my brothers gone... Its just so much harder, I'll NEVER forget you, love you Shar." tears were now flowing down my cheeks.

"Love you too N/N (NickName) Please, stay safe out there, I'll see you again sometime... Goodbye."  I could tell she was crying too.
