On an abrupt, ill-advised vacation from Los Angeles, Camila trips right into Lauren Jauregui, a local shop owner in faded red shorts. It starts with surfboards and a jellyfish sting. Camren AU.

Lauren is a washed up rock artist. She's got bills to the ceiling and no inspiration. Her A&R Candece gives her an ultimatum. Revive her career by collaborating with one of r&b's up and coming stars, or watch her carefully constructed musical career slip through her fingers. Here, enters Normani Kordei. She's sexy, southern, sweet, and talented, yet not quite at the top. But she has promise. She knows her breakthrough moment could be coming, but she needs the cherry on top to really solidify her career. That cherry turns out to be the washed up but talented and beautiful Lauren Jauregui. Opposites do attract, but most love stories don't factor in the music industry. Wrought with lies, sex, power, and grit, an incredibly fierce love might just be enough to push these two to the top.

In which camren is introduced via drunk texting and Camila enjoys talking to Lauren because unlike many others, she doesn't know every single detail about Camila's life.

Lauren never planned on living in the house she lived in. She never planned on working the job she worked. She never planned on befriending a strange girl named Camila, either. Lauren never planned a lot of things.
