Matthew Espinosa Imagines

You've Changed

*Aria's POV*

Cameron and I walk into the hotel in Nashville, Tennessee and get our room keys.

Cam and I carpooled here to MagCon in Nashville since we live in the same neighborhood, and I knew every other member off of him.

He was like a brother to me.

We get ours keys as we then stroll to the elevators with our luggage on wheels, rolling behind us.

I took in the huge hotel. It looked fancy, neat and nice, I think I was going to enjoy this week long trip in Tennessee.

Cameron presses our floor button, 6, and then flashes me an excited smile.

I smile back. "I can't wait to see everyone again...it's been about eight months..."

I hear Cameron respond, but I don't quite hear him since I was already lost in thought.

Last time I was here, something happened that would either be awkward now or in the part.

Matt and I kissed.

And I'm betting on awkward.

It was just a heat of the moment kiss, nothing huge like making out or getting into bed or anything.

But after, we just stared at each other in silence and then moved past the kiss as if it never happened.

It was such a surprise too...one moment I'm talking to Matt about my dream of singing and the next he is leaning into me, pressing me against the hotel hallway's hall and biting my bottom lip.

And no one else knew of the kiss. It was our little secret.

A hand waves in front of my blue eyes. "Hello? Aria?" Cameron snaps me back to the present.

I blink. "Hmm?"

"I said I wanted to warn you about something..."

I frown at my best friend. "What is it? Did Nash's hair grow even longer?" I ask in disbelief.

Cameron chuckles. "Well, yes, but that's not quite what I was going to say."

I purse my lips and let Cameron continue to talk.

He continues. "It's Matt."

My stomach churns at the mention of his name.

My face burns as I frown deeper and ask "What about...Matt?"

Cameron sighs. "He's changed a lot since the last time you saw him. He isn't the same Matt...he's...darker" Cameron says with a wince.

I frown at the adjective "darker". What was that supposed to mean?

Before Cameron could explain, the elevator opened and Cameron grabbed me arm, pulling me with him.

"You'll know what I mean when you see him" Cameron explains in a hurry as we reach a room that we were all sharing.

Cameron takes a deep breath, then opens the door. The first person I see is bubbly blue eyed Nash, smiling at me with a snap back on top of his lake of black hair.

"Aria Montgomery!" Nash cheers as he enlaces me into a bear hug.

Yeah, Nash made the "Aria from Pretty Little Liars" joke a lot.

I laugh into Nash's chest and hug him tight. "Hiiiiiiiii" I coo.

He lets me free then hugs Cameron next, trying to pick him up which made me laugh.

I then hug the Jacks that came with Nash and then Shawn who was there too. A lot of people weren't here yet.

I sat down on one of the beds once I thought I said hi to everyone here and fiddled with my phone.
