Latching On

Chapter 6

Elena's POV

" Can you chase the fire away.. In the fog we sleep all day.." Shawn and I sang in together. When we finished, i heard the crowd going crazy.

" Thank you so much guys!" I said in the mic.

" Thank you!!" Shawn said also. I hugged Shawn and he hugged back. The girls started screaming even more. I laughed and we made our way backstage. All the guys ran to me and said that I sang really well and that it was a good performance and all. I just hugged them all, smiling really happily. Matt ran to me.

" Elena! You were so good! Your voice is perfect, you are perfect." He mumbled the last part and then planted a pair of warm lips on my forehead. I smiled and blushed really hard. I hugged him tightly. We stayed like that for a few minutes until Carter shouted " Why don't guys just get married like right now?" Matt and I let go and started laughing out asses off.

Matt's POV

While Elena sang with Shawn while playing her guitar I stood next to the stage the whole time. She looked so perfect at that moment and her voice, she sang so beautifully. After the performance, when she and Shawn came backstage, I ran to her and said " Elena! You were so good. Your voice is perfect. You are perfect." I blurted out the last part. She looked at me straight in the eyes for a moment and then hugged me tightly. I smiled in my mind. I hugged her back and we stayed like that for a few minutes. That moment was perfect, if I could freeze that moment and live it forever. I would. Until Carter opened his mouth. I glared at him but covered it up with laughter as Elena and I pulled away. I put my hands around her waist and put my chin on her head. We stayed like that for a few moments and Cameron said " Why don't you guys date already? It would make things so much easier." He said while laughing. Elena and I pulled away blushing. Then Cam spoke up again.

" Hey baby sis, can I talk to Matt for a minute?"

Elena nodded and made her way to Mahogany.

Cameron's POV

Matt and Elena are perfect for each other. Everyone can see it except for them. I pulled Matt to a couch and we sat.

" You like her don't you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

" I think I have a crush on her." He said while looking down.

" I would totally approve of you guys as a couple and totally support you." I said while smiling.

" But, give it a few weeks until you ask her out. It can't be all that fast. " I continued.

Matt nodded understandingly.

Elena's POV

I walked over to Mahogany and said " Hey DJ." while waving and smiling. She smiled back and hugged me.

" What's up El? I loved your singing!" She said. I laughed.

" Thanks! Hey, I got an idea, why don't we go swimming? I said.

" Good thinking! Let's go get changed and let's ask the guys to join us." She smiled.

Nash's POV

My god, Elena's voice was just so beautiful, it was perfect. When she and Shawn came backstage. I was about to go to her, when Matt already took my place. I scrunched up my nose. Then, Matt put his arms around her waist as she lay her head on his shoulder. I felt a wave of jealousy running through my body. Then, Cameron went up to them and him and Matt went somewhere. Hmm. Elena went over to Mahogany. I took that time to go up to her.

"Elena! I told you the fans would love you!" I smiled, she smiled back, returning the favor. I hugged her and she instantly hugged back.

"Will you go swimming with us?" she asked.

"Sure." I smiled "I'll go get ready." She nodded and added "See you later." I waved.

Elena's POV

I nodded and made my way to the elevator and to our room to change. I picked out a bikini and slipped it on in the bathroom. I grabbed some shades and put it on top of my head. I took my bag and put my towel and sunscreen inside. When I had everything, I stepped out of the room to go to the elevator and saw Taylor waiting infront of the elevator. I smiled and said "Taylor! My niggah!" He turned to me and laughed his butt off. He put his arm around my shoulder, in a friendly way of course, as we walked in the elevator.

"Soo, you and Matt?" he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

I laughed and said "Maybe...but shush." I put my finger on my lips. He nodded understandingly.

We reached the lobby and saw some of the guys waiting for the others I presume. Some of the guys laughed at us while I saw Matt and Nash glaring at Taylor. I just laughed at the whole situation and pulled away from Taylor's arm. Taylor pulled out his phone and started a vine.

" I just got rejected by a girl!" He said to the camera while fake-sobbing. Which just made me laughed even harder. I laughed and jumped on his back, pulling his into a hug. That quickly covered the glares from Matt and Nash into laughs.

We all waited for the others to arrive. When everybody was here, we all went to the hotel's pool. Which was just woah.

Nash's POV

We finally arrived at the hotel's pool, which was amazeballs btw. We all set our things on the longchairs. All the guys started taking their shirts off. I took off mine and caught Elena staring. I grinned. She quickly looked back at her phone, bitting her lip nervously.

"You like that El?" I said, smirking.

"In your dreams, Grier." she laughed and pushed me in the pool, earning alot of oohs from the guys. I swam back up to see Elena taking off her shirt, revealing her bikini top. She was so perfect. She quickly removed her shorts, exposing her beautiful tan legs and-

"You like that Nash?" she copied, interrupting my thoughts. Everyone started laughing, I looked down and blushed while swimming away to Cam. I looked back at Elena who was already in the water. After 10 minutes of just like splashing each other. Taylor got a great idea.

"Chicken fight!" He screamed. I turned to Cam and grinned. He grinned back and dunked his head in the water so I could go on his shoulders. I went on his, setting myself comfortably. Cam and I smirked evily and made our way to Elena and Matt ( just imagine them in water.)

I smiled to Elena and said " Your going down!"

She smirked and said " Hell no, it's the other way, baby."

We started the fight and the fight, while the other guys and Mahogany stated cheering, honestly she was winning.

Then she screamed, terror on her face, "Nash! Watch out!"

I turned to look behind me and saw nothing. I soon felt a push on my shoulder and next thing I knew I was underwater. I swam back up and saw everyone laughing.

"You cheated!" I said while laughing.

"Too bad Nash, Team Melena rocks!" Elena said and high-fived Matt. I just continued laughing.

After another hour of chilling by the pool, we made our way back to the hotel.
