Chapter 20- I will not break.

Song for this chapter: I Will Not Bow- Breaking Benjamin

---------------

Celeste's POV:

"So are you having fun?" I asked Caitlyn, who was on the other line.

"Yeah. It's cool to see the boys perform in a giant arena," Caitlyn answered. "How's the job going?"

"It's going great. All the employees are very nice," I replied.

"That's awesome. Well, I have to go, Ashton's bugging me," Caitlyn hugged, mumbling something probably to Ashton.

"Tell everyone I say hi," I smiled.

"Will do. Love you girlie," Caitlyn said.

"Love you too, Cait. See you," I mumbled.

We said our goodbyes and I hung up. I saw that my break was over, so I headed back to the front desk, where I was working.

"Excuse me, I'm looking for Celeste?" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up to see the one and only Louis Tomlinson.

"That's me," I smiled.

"Hi. I'm Louis," he held out his hand.

"Celeste."

"I've heard a lot about you," Louis commented.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. Those 5SOS boys always talk about you," Louis replied.

"Oh," I nodded.

"I have something from them," he handed me an envelope.

I decided to open it, to find a letter.

"Hey, Cel!

It's the 5SOS boys! (Also Caitlyn and Angie). We just wanted to say that we miss you and love you! Caitlyn said this was cooler than texting (Ashton disagreed) so we sent you this. Look inside the envelope again, there's a surprise for you.

Love,

Cal, Mikey, Angie, Ash, Caitlyn, and Luke."

I looked back inside the letter, and there was a folded up piece of paper. A plane ticket. For anywhere. I'm guessing they want me to come to one of their shows.

"Tell them I said thanks, if you see them that is," I told Louis.

"No problem, see you around, Celeste," Louis waved and walked out the front door to the studio.

Since we weren't busy, I decided to write back to the boys.

"Dear 5SOS and girls,

Miss you guys! It's good to hear from you, long time no see, huh? Love all of you! I'll make sure I make it out to one of your shows, thanks for the ticket. Again, I miss you all!

Love, Cel"

I sealed it in an envelope, and texted Calum, asking for the hotel address. He sent it to me a minute later, and I wrote it down. I put a stamp on it and dropped it in the mailbox.

"Celeste," someone called.

"Yes?" I called back.

"Monica said that you are free to have the rest of the day off, with full pay," one of my co-workers, Megan, informed me.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Go ahead, I've got the front desk covered," she nodded, smiling.

I picked up my phone and said goodbye to Megan. At least I can start getting ready for dinner with Sam. I almost forgot that was tonight. I decided to text him to ask what time.

To: Sam

Hey, what time did you want to meet up for dinner?

He replied minutes later.

From: Sam

Does six work? :)

To: Sam

Sounds great. See you then!

From: Sam

Until then, beautiful :) xx

I smiled at his comment and started to walk home. When I got there, I was greeted by my dog.

"Kasey!" I exclaimed.

Kasey had been staying up with one of my mums friends, because I wouldn't have been able to take care of him with my job starting. I forgot he was coming home today.

I found a note on the table, supposedly from my mom's friend.

"Celeste or Monica,

We dropped Kasey off, because we had to get somewhere. Hope you don't mind!"

I checked the time, and it was four o'clock. I decided to spend some time with Kasey, before getting ready for dinner. Sam never told me if it was casual or formal, so I just went casual.

I chose a black All Time Low shirt, with my favorite jeans and Converse. I brushed my hair out and left it natural, and only applied a little bit of makeup.

I texted Sam my address, and he responded back that he would be here in ten minutes.

When he got here, Kasey didn't seem to like him too much, and that was odd to me. Anyone my dog doesn't like, I'm very suspicious of.

"You look gorgeous," Sam complimented me.

"Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself," I blushed at his comment.

We got in his car, and he turned the radio up. I froze when I heard the tune of Don't Stop. Hearing Luke's voice made me a little emotional inside.

"These guys are cool, I like their music," Sam commented.

"Me too," I said awkwardly.

Michael started to sing, and I smiled a little. Even though Luke and I separated, the others are still my best friends. Michael has a good voice, he should sing a little more.

But then it shifted back to Luke's voice, and I cringed at the thought of him. I missed him, but I knew it would be even worse if we were still together. And hopefully Sam would get my mind off him.

Sam pulled up to a little place that I recognized clearly, the place where Angie used to work before she quit to go on tour.

"This place okay?" Sam asked.

"Of course. I love this place," I nodded.

"Good. Care to take a selfie?" Sam laughed.

"Sure why not?" I laughed with him and we took a selfie.

My phone buzzed a minute later, saying that Sam had tweeted the picture.

"@SamParks: Dinner with this gorgeous girl! @CelesteTucker pic.twitter.com/fdjfj448xnf"

I retweeted it and we went inside.

Luke's POV:

Looks like Celeste has moved on. She doesn't seem to have a problem going to dinner with someone after a month of breaking up with me. I huffed and closed twitter, angry.

"Come on, Luke, we have soundcheck," Michael called.

"Okay," I called back to him.

I hope I move on as fast as Celeste did.
