Latching On

Chapter 3

Elena's POV

We finally arrived at the hotel in Florida. We stepped out if the bus, got our bags and entered the hotel. We were greeted by Bart, who apparently is the manager of Magcon. We were waiting for our room keys. When Jacob asked 

"Where's Carter?"

Mahogany answered " He'll be here in about an hour. He got a plane ticket and is flying from Nashville." 

All the boys nodded and the lobby was filled with "ohhs"

I raised my eyebrows, not knowing who they were talking about. " Who's Carter?" I asked.

The boys started laughing and Nash told me that he was another guy that tours with them.

"Oh okay." I simply said. 

It was probably 3 in the afternoon and we were all pretty tired. Your ass start hurting when you sit on leather seats for like 6 hours. We finally got our room keys.

Shawn spoke up " So how's rooming with who? " 

" Good question." I nodded.

Taylor pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his back pocket and read out loud:

" The room arrangement is Carter-Jacob-Nash-Taylor and Hayes-Matt-Cameron-Elena and Mahogany-The Jacks-Aaron."

I signed thanking that I was with my brother. 

"Perfect, let's go to our rooms." Mahogany said. We all then went our separate ways. I walked in the elevator with Mahogany, I listened to her talking about about how excited she was for Magcon, but there was only one thing in my mind: Matt Espinosa.

-

We got to my room and Mahogany decided to hang with me for a while in my room. I dropped on my bed, my head in a pillow. I turned my head to the side and saw Mahogany putting down her bag on the floor and sitting on the bed.

" So, what do you do in Magcon?" I asked her while sitting up straight.

She smiled and said " Well, I'm the DJ for Magcon." My jaw dropped and my eyes widened because I did the same thing. 

" Really? I'm also a DJ! I have a band and we make music and perform!" I shouted, excited.

"Seriously? That's so cool, we're practically sisters!" Mahogany said while nudging my elbow. 

We kept on talking until my phone buzed. It was Nash. I smiled and opened the message.

N: Hey Elena! How bout Mahogany and you come dowstairs and we go get some food? :)

E: Sure, I'm starving! See you guys in a few.

N: Better come down fast, Matthew misses you! ;)

I laughed at his joke and answered.

E: Very funny Grier. 

I told Mahogany and we both changed into more comfy clothes. I pulled out some random clothes from mu suitcase and smiled at my outfit in the mirror. We walked in the elevator. While waiting I opened up instagram and a picture of Matt and I sleeping in the tour bus that Cam posted with the the caption " Shipping it already! #Melena" I grinned and liked the picture. We arrived at the lobby and saw all the guys and Carter who arrived waiting for us. We waved signaling that we were there. "Hey guys." Mahogany and I said.

" Where are we eating" I asked.

" Taco bell!" they all said. I nodded and walked over to Matt who was playing on his phone. I waved and he looked up, smiling at my presence. He swung his arm over my shoulder and smiled cheekily. I blushed looking on the ground. We walked out of the hotel and made our way to one of the rental vans that Bart had rented. Matt didn't let go until we arrived at Taco Bell. We all ordered our food and payed and sat at the biggest table the restaurant had. I sat in between Nash and Hayes. Then Shawn who was sitting in front of me asked " So, Elena do you sing?" Everyone went quiet waiting for my answer. I do, actually sing, very well too. I have a small recording studio in my room and I often jam out there when I have nothing to do. I suddenly felt a knee hit me in the thigh, interrupting my thoughts. I looked up and saw Cam, smiling cheekily. He was the first one to discover my secret talent and he always said I should perform for Magcon. I cracked my shell and answered "Yes, I do." Cam smiled at me proudly. Then, Shawn continued "So, you can perform with me today?" He said, smiling. I nodded, nervously and not sure about my decision. 

I just hope I wasn't getting into anything bad.....
