Publicity Stunt

I ran to Liam's arms as soon as I saw him and actually squealed as he lifted me off the ground and spun me around. "Liam!" I exclaimed, to which he only laughed before setting me down. Harry smiled just beyond us. I could show as much affection with the other boys as I wanted but with Harry.. Well, management wanted me to be restrained in public. "I've missed you so much." I said earnestly as I held onto his biceps. Damn, were they bigger?

"I've missed you too." Liam replied with a soft smile, sliding my hands down to his own and squeezing them tightly. "It's been too long." I hugged him tightly again.

"Aye, what about the rest of us?" Louis demanded. "I need some Terra lovin'." I laughed at him as he spoke before moving on to the long haired boy.

"I like the beard." I said with a grin, hitting my knuckles against his jaw.

"Yeah? You dig it? I think the fans do too" He replies before pulling me in and kissing me on the forehead like I've seen him do with his younger siblings. "How have you been love?" Louis asks lightly, his thumb stroking my cheek before his hand leaves my face.

"Junior year was fine if that's what you mean and I have all my classes ready for my last year of college."

"Wonderful. How's the apartment?"

"We're still living there miraculously. Ava is still looking for a job and Malissa just got hired at some bookstore.." I paused. "I actually don't know how we're making rent." Louis slid his gaze along to Harry before sending me a knowing look. "No way." I hissed. "I told you guys not to butt into my life."

"Don't worry about it darling. You are our best friend after all." Louis winks at me before pushing me along to the rest of the boys.

"How's Meghan?" Niall asks as he hugs me.

"I'm good, thanks Niall." He bursts out laughing. "Meghan's fine too." I assure him with a shake of my head. "She would be here but she's at work."

"Couldn't get it off?"

"I mean she could have but like I said.." I shot a glare at Harry. "We need money to pay for our apartment." I can't see his eyes, he's wearing sunglasses, but he smirks a little. "She's going to stop by the studio though sometime with me, she promises."

"We'll be here a while, no rush."

"Yeah! All summer. I really can't wait. We haven't had a summer together in a really long time." Niall smiles, touching my hair.

"Not since we all first met each other actually." Damn.. He was right. I turned to look at Zayn who had been quietly standing by the sidelines. I cocked my head looking at him.

"Zayn?" He glanced up at me, his beautiful brown eyes holding a question.

"Yeah?" I walked toward him slowly.

"Oh my god." I lifted his chin so he could look me in the eye before analyzing his ink covered arms and tightly fitted jeans. "I always knew you'd grow into your face but damn." Zayn smiled, blushing a little.

"It's good to see you too Terra." Zayn hugged me lightly with one arm so I tried to restrain myself with the amount of affection I wanted to give him. Sometimes he wasn't so touchy feely. I carefully glanced up at Harry. All around us, paparazzi were snapping photographs but that's only because we were outside the studio. Once we stepped inside, everything would be fine. They never make it past the front desk.
