Don't Date The Vocalist (1) - Celia's POV

I plug my headphones in and select my You Me At Six playlist. I find myself walking along to the beat, a habit that I picked up in high school. As usual, I'm running late, so I walk very quickly and within five minutes I'm at Pepper's Pizza, the local family run pizza restaurant. And the place that I tend to spend half my life in. That's the thing with having two boy best friends, all they do is eat. Well, I can't really say much, seen as I eat as much as they do. But when you suggest meeting, their first instinct is to go for food.

Which brings me here. I dart through the door, and greet Asher, a waiter at the restaurant and a close friend of mine. I spot their heads instantly in our booth at the back of the restaurant. Bent together to look at something on their phone's, it's quite astounding- they're all contrasting colours- dark and light. Even their clothes- one in a black t-shirt and skinny jeans, the other in white and blue. How odd.

I slide into the booth opposite them. They don't even look up.

"Um...hello?" Brad looks up, actually acknowledging me, before grunting and looking back at the phone in his hands.

"Antisocial much."

"Celia, you cannot say anything about being antisocial because you never leave the house, idiot." Brad rolls his eyes and focuses back on Luke.

"Excuse me? I'm outside right now, idiot."

"Unwillingly."

"It was my idea to meet up!"

"I can guarantee you'd rather be at home right now with a book." Luke pipes up. I am being ganged up on! How rude.

"Yes, because I'd rather be surrounded by fictional characters than idiots!"

"Well, I think you'll find-"

"Here is your pizza, guys. I'll bring you drinks over in a second."

I smile at Asher, whilst shooting a glare at the two douches I'm sat opposite. Being the only girl often has it's downsides.

"So, Luke, how's things with you and Rhea?" He looks up at me, for the first time, and glances at Brad, who bites his lip.

"What?" I look between the two of them, feeling very out of it.

"They broke up." Brad gives me the look that I know means that Luke is not okay. We communicate very well between looks, and I know this means not to try being funny.

"Oh. Aw, that sucks, man." Luke's attention is all on his pizza. He doesn't notice me mouthing 'Can I ask why?' to Brad, who gives me a subtle nod.

"Why, Lukey?" I smile at him, and he looks up at me. That's when I realise- he's got tears in his eyes. He's broken. He's heartbroken. I've never seen Luke look so tragically hurt.

"She freaking cheated on me. After all we'd been through together, one whole years. And she cheats. I suppose I wasn't good enough, because I was too boring for her, I bet."

"Oh god, Luke..."

"I loved her, y'know. I loved her. She was my world. I would've done anything for her and she knew that I was still totally in love with her. And she still cheats on me. She didn't even act ashamed or guilty. I hate her, but I still love her."

"Looks like somebody is going to get slapped. Hard. Do you know who she cheated on you with?" Brad gives me a warning look. I don't care. I need to find out and sort the cow out.

"Um no. But, I was speaking to Ashton and he's just broken up with his girlfriend..."

"Really? I didn't even get to meet her! But you don't...you don't think he would do you?"

"Celia." Brad hisses. I ruffle his dark curls, knowing full well how annoying he finds that.

"I don't know, Cece. I really don't know. I didn't think that Rhea would've have done that but she did. I can't tell with anyone anymore."

"Look, Luke, finish your pizza, okay? I think we need to do something...I mean, you can't just mope around all day." I smile at him and this time he returns it. Half heartedly, yes, but he still manages.

"Actually guys, I've got to shoot. We've got a meeting about the next single at 1, and I need to meet James. So, um, I'll leave you too it!" He slides out of the booth, smiles cheerily at Luke, and gives me a look that tells me I need to cheer him up.
