    ɪ ᴘᴜʟʟᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ outside of the north-cooper residence and sent maison a text that i was here. she came out the front door a few seconds later, locking it behind her. she was wearing a cropped red tank top paired with denim shorts and her usual dirty white converse.

  "hey!" she said cheerily as she climbed into my car.

  "hey." i return, handing her the aux cord.

  we'd all learned very quickly maison ruled the aux in any car at any time. she'd always play the best songs.

  "thanks for doing this." maison mentions as she clicks her seatbelt in.

  "you're welcome." i smile. i pull away from her house as she clicks around on her phone, probably looking for a certain song.

  she props her feet against the dash and flash of worry flares in my chest. i reach over and push her knees down. "hey." she pouts adorably.

  "don't do that. if we get in an accident you'll get hurt." i answer, lingering my hand on her left knee in case she ignored me.

  she frowned but kept her feet on the floor. i considered taking my hand away but this may be the last time i'm able to touch her while her brothers are here. i've never met them, and i was curious but also nervous about them. maison's a very touchy person when it comes to friends and i'm not entirely sure how they'd take me touching her. well, her touching me. regardless, we'd still be touching.

  austin may be loose about the subject but who knows how they'll be.

  my hearts pounding as i tighten my grip on her knee but she doesn't seem to mind. in fact, she shuffles closer to me while humming whatever song was playing. i didn't recognize it but it was good.

  we spend the car ride jamming to disney songs mostly and talking about the scene i'm filming later.

  nick's character barry would be disguising himself as a cop (lamely) in order to steal some gold. i was kind of excited. tense scenes are exhilarating.

  "are you staying in the car or coming with me?" she asks as we arrive at the airport.

  "i'll stay in the car. you guys deserve some privacy to say hello." i answer, tapping my fingers on her knee to the beat of the song.

  she hums in response, her foot tapping on the floor.

  i manage to find a spot in the parking lot outside of the main doors. maison unbuckles her seatbelt and disconnects her phone from aux.

  "i'll be back soon." she says. she leans over the console and presses a quick kiss to my cheek.

  my cheeks flush darkly but she's gone before i can ask what that was about.

  i'm trembling with excitement as i head inside the thankfully air conditioned building. it was bloody humid today! luckily we're filming later into the day so it won't be as hot.

  "macie!" my name is squealed almost as soon as i step inside.

  "what the fuck?" i blurt. a pair of parents glare at me as they walk by with their young children and i grimace. "sorry."

  axl practically tackles me after they pass. i push up onto my toes, winding my arms around his neck tightly. "what the hell are you doing here?" i cry, tears rolling down my sunburnt cheeks.
