Cecelia's POV:
"Are you gonna go in?" A familiar voice said from behind me as I stared at my house. I turned around to see Liz (Lukes mom) and instantly a smile formed on my face. I hugged her so tight that I never wanted to let go. "I missed you so much Liz." I said letting go. "I missed you too CeCe." She laughed. I just smiled as she stared at me. "God, you've grown up to be such a beautiful woman." She added pinching my cheeks making me giggle. "Thank you." I said smiling at her. "And I'm not sure I wanna go in. Can I come over to your house?" I asked shyly. "Of course." She said smiling at me. I followed her to the next door house that I haven't been in in forever. As we entered the house I smelt something delicious, like always. "You know Luke was hoping he would see you in Toronto." She said stirring a pot. "And he did." I laughed. "My friend dragged me to that concert." I added laughing. "I kinda figured that." She chuckled. "Does Luke know why you really left yet?" She asked. My mind instantly went back to the day before I left.

I sat on Lukes couch watching finding nemo with him. "Please don't go CeCe." He said looking at me with teary eyes. "Luke." I sighed wiping away his tears. "Please tell me why you're really going." He pleaded. I looked behind him and at Liz. She looked at me with sad eyes. I looked back at Luke. I grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers. "Because when you love someone, you have to let them go, and if they come back, they're yours to keep. But if they don't, they were never yours." I said looking into his beautiful blue eyes.

"It still haunts you doesn't it?" She asked. I nodded. "It's just, I was doing terrible the first year. I sat in bed crying, listening to their music and looking at old pictures of us. Then I got better and found someone. Simon. We were just a distraction for each other though. No feelings at all. Then when I admitted a got over him, the concert came around and that all changed and now I don't know." I sighed covering my face with my hands. "Oh honey, love can't just be forgotten, it will always be there no matter what." Liz says rubbing my back. "Even if only one of you feels it?" I asked. "You'd be surprised." She said getting up and going back to cooking. "I'm gonna go take a nap." I said sighing and standing up. "Go ahead honey, you know where the room is." She smiled and continued cooking.
I walked up the staircase and into the first door on the right. Lukes room. It's just as I remembered. Band posters on the walls, paper and pencils all over his desk, and the smell of pizza. I chuckled as I grabbed a shirt from his drawer and threw it on. I flopped onto his bed and pulled out my laptop and went to skype. I clicked onto Emily's contact and called. She picked up instantly. "CeCe!" She exclaimed into the camera. "Hey Em. I'm home." I said leaning against the headboard of the bed and laughing. She squinted at me. "Who's room is that?" She asked. "Mine." I said quickly. "Who's shirt is that." She asked. "Um mine." I said fake smiling. "CeCe, you can't fool me, Luke used to wear that shirt all the time. I know it's his." She laughed. "Fine. It's his and I'm in his room." I confessed. "YOURE IN HIS ROOM!" She yelled. "Shhhh yes. Liz found me outside before I went into my house so I just came over here." I shrugged. "You're acting like this is normal." She said in shock. "It is to me." I laughed. "I can't believe I have a best friend who is best friends with 5sos." She shook her head. I laughed. "Do you know when the tour ends?" I asked her knowing she probably would. "Ummmm sometime in September they'll be back in Australia so probably around then." She told me. I nodded and thanked her. "It's getting late here I should go down stairs and help Liz." I sighed looking at the time. "Ok. I'll be leaving tomorrow to go back home so I'll call you then." She said. "Ok, love you Em, bye." I said and hung up.
A few seconds later my phone rung. It was Ashton. "Hello." I said smiling. "Hello there miss CeCe." He giggled. "How are you?" I asked. "I'm uh good." He whispered. "Why are yo- oh Luke doesn't know you're talking to me does he?" I asked. "Uh maybe not." He said laughing. "Why are you calling you dork." I laughed. "CeCe, he can't stop talking about you. Ever since the concert...." He stopped talking in the dead middle of his sentence and everything went quiet. "Hello-" "He's in love with you." Everything in my body went numb and all I did was press the end button.
