thirteen chapters of an unfinished fic i found on my old laptop, posted upon request

I saw this story on Tumblr and it had put me in an emotional state. All credits goes to the writer @isfromnowon

based on: "Is there a one shot where Camren is a canon but like camila is deaf and lauren has learnt sign language but camila gets one of those ear devices that allow her to hear for the first time and the first thing lauren says is "I love you" and it's the first time camila has heard her voice and those words and she's just a ball of emotion? Does that exist? Because it should"

Camila has many unsolved problems and demons in her past. She is convinced that no one cares. For her, there is only one solution until one fateful evening a stranger knocks on her door and turns her life upside down. Will Lauren be able to show Camila that life is worth living? TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

"And every cell in her body is screaming ‘touch her, touch her,’ but Lauren was a work of art and Camila could not ruin her. She’d already done enough of that."

The year is 2078. The world is split - war torn - completely altered by the decline of technology and the rise of certain powers. Camila does whatever she can to ease her family's burden, although simply surviving is hard enough on its own. Life gets even more complicated when a confused stranger washes up on the beach, running from war and rebellion in her own country. Now, along with a new, unfamiliar friend and a string of fabricated truths, Camila does her best to make things work. But with the government in complete control and the people at its mercy, they all know that things can change in the blink of an eye.

(in my shoes) • Look with your eyes. Judge with your soul. • First impressions almost always suck. They can be spot on or way off, depending on how open and receptive you are to the other person. When you make preconceived notions about people, learning to tolerate them can be a little difficult. What if you have to live with them? That's the situation Camila and Lauren have been put in. As typical and cliche as it may be, two totally different worlds collide. However this time, neither of them know whether they'll mould or combust.

Camila Cabello ran away from home at eighteen. No money, no food and no friends, she somehow travelled to Boston and found herself a lousy job in a large up and coming interior design business. Straight out of college, Lauren Jauregui was the co-owner of that interior design business. Now, with the company thriving and trying to expand, Lauren is forced to make some tough choices at the headquarters. Completed in 2016.

A lot of girls experiment in college; it's natural. It's no different at the University of Miami, and when they're looking to experiment, they know exactly who to go to. But what will happen when she finally falls for one of the girls she hooks up with?
