University Of London (BEING EDITED)

Gabrielle’s P.O.V

Since Harry left, Maddie hasn’t been the same. She won’t even touch Brooklyn. I’ve tried to get Maddie to look after her but she won’t. She says that it’s too painful and that Brooklyn is Harry’s daughter and he should look after her. She’s fallen into depression again. We’re all really worried about her. She wanted to change. She didn’t want to be the Maddie everyone loves anymore. She dyed her hair brown because Harry likes blondes. She hasn’t been my daughter. She’s sat in her room, only coming out for food. She won’t talk to anyone. I want to do something to help but I can’t. That’s when I had an idea. Eleanor. She is Maddie’s best friend. She’ll talk some sense into her. I searched in the address book for her number. She had called me after the crash and I saved her number. I found it and dialled.

Eleanor’s P.O.V

“Harry!” Louis shouted. “Get up! We need to work!” He continued. My phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID. ‘Gabrielle’, Maddie’s mum. I left the room and answered. “Hello?” I said. “Eleanor.” Gabrielle said. “Yep, that’s me. How’s Maddie?” I asked. “Not good, I’m really worried about her. She won’t touch Brooklyn and she hasn’t left her room. We’re running out of things to do. Maybe you could help?” She said. “How?” I questioned. “Can you come to California? I’ve tried telling her she needs to go back to the UK but she won’t listen. Can you come and drag her back there?” She asked. “I’ll try. Can I bring my boyfriend as well? I’m nearly 5 months pregnant.” I said. “Yeah, bring him too. How is Harry?” She said. “He’s determined to ruin his career. They’ve had to cancel the whole of the American tour. It’s not just him that it affects. It’s affecting all of them. We need to get them back together.” I answered. “We do. So I’ll see you soon?” She asked. “Yeah, bye.” I said hanging up. I walked back into Harry’s room. “Louis, leave it. Come on, we need to go somewhere.” I said dragging him out of the room. “Where are we going?” He asked. “California. That was Maddie’s mum. They’re worried about her. We need to go over there and get her back here.” I answered. We packed some bags and left. We got a private jet over so we could come back straight away. We got there and got into a cab. Gabrielle had texted me their address so I read it out to the driver. We reached the house and climbed out of the cab. Louis knocked on the door and Gabrielle answered. “Thank you for coming,” She said hugging us. “It’s fine. Where is she?” I said. “Upstairs, first door on the right.” Gabrielle told us. “Okay, thank you.” We went up to her room and opened the door. I saw my newly brunette best friend sitting on her bed. She turned to look at us. “What are you doing here?” She asked. “Your mum called. She’s worried about you.” Louis said. We looked at her laptop. She was looking at divorces. Louis took it off of her. “You won’t need that.” He said shutting it. I went into her wardrobe and pulled out some clothes and some high heels before dragging her out of bed. “Put these on. We’re going home.” I said. “I am home.” She looked at me. “No you’re not.” Louis said packing her suitcase. I pushed her into the bathroom and she got changed. When she came out, Louis had just finished packing her suitcase. I took her arm and led her down the stairs with Louis following after me with her case. I took the case off of him and he took Brooklyn. Gabrielle drove us to the airport and we dragged her to the plane. “I don’t want to go back. You can’t make me.” She said when we were on the plane. “You can stay with us for a few days. We’ll send Harry back to your house.” Louis said. “It’s not my house.” She argued. “Madeline Styles. You are not the same person we met 18 months ago. Harry made the wrong decision to leave and trust me he regrets it. Where is the loving mum? The girl who was obsessed with high heels? The person that would never have neglected her child.” Louis said sternly. “She’s gone. Harry took her. I don’t want Brooklyn. He can have her. I don’t want him. He put me back into depression.” She held up her wrist, behind her bracelets it had hundreds of cuts. “He made me cut again. He ruined my life and I should never have married him.” She spat. “You don’t mean that.” I said. “You might have dyed your hair, but you’re not fooling us. You’re still Maddie Styles deep down.” I continued. “Yeah right, I want to be Maddie Anderson again. Single and childless.” She said looking at Brooklyn in Louis’ arms. “You love Brooklyn.” I said. “No I don’t.” She answered. “So you’re saying that when you cut your honeymoon short to come and find her from the people that kidnapped her, you didn’t love her? Or when she gurgled something that sounded like ‘Mummy’? Or when she smiled? Or when she was born? You love her Maddie. You just don’t want to accept that because she’s Harry’s child.” Louis said. He handed Brooklyn to me and pulled Maddie’s phone out of her bag before starting to scroll through her pictures. He found one of Maddie holding Brooklyn. “Yeah, you don’t love her.” He said showing her. Then he showed her one of her and Harry. “You love him and he loves you and you both love Brooklyn. You both need to sort yourselves out. You’ve had a month apart. You’re married for god sake.” He pulled her two rings out of his pocket and put them on her ring finger. “You had so many good times together. Don’t let one stupid mistake pull you apart.” He said. She looked at her rings and then at her phone. “I…I don’t know what to do,” She admitted playing with her rings. “You need to sort things out with Harry, you love each other you’re just fighting at the moment, Maddie, you are not Madeline Aimee Anderson, you’re Madeline Aimee Styles and that is what you need to focus on. You are married and have a child. Harry loves you and has been lost without you and you’re lost without him. That’s why you started to cut again, because you were confused and missed Harry. You should have told him, but you didn’t and you can understand where he’s coming from surely. It was a big deal Maddie. You love each other and we love you being together. You need to sort things out, for Brooklyn.” I told her. “Thank you.” She hugged us. We landed and drove back to our apartment. I opened the door to Harry’s room and walked in with Maddie behind me. Harry sat up when he saw her. “Maddie?” He said. “Harry.” She replied walking over to him. She sat next to him on the bed and they talked for a while. I left them to it. “Have we done it?” Louis asked when I shut the door. “We’ve done it.” I said walking over to him. “Finally,” He kissed me.
Chapter 27: Harry’s P.O.V
“I’m sorry Harry. I should have told you. I promise you know everything now.” Maddie said. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have left. I love you Maddie.” I said. “I love you too Harry,” She replied. I kissed her. “So you’re a brunette now?” I asked. “Yeah… I fancied a change.” She said. “It looks gorgeous.” I said. “Thank you,” She answered. I got out of bed and got dressed. When I was dressed I took Maddie’s hand and walked out of the room. Louis was hugging Brooklyn. “Thanks guys.” I said. “Anything for you two.” El said. I hugged her and Louis handed Brooklyn to me. “I’ve missed you so much.” I said kissing her head. “And you,” I said turning to Maddie and putting my arm around her waist. Louis took out his phone and took a picture. He typed something and my phone buzzed in my pocket. I gave Brooklyn to Maddie and looked at it. Louis had tagged me on twitter. I unlocked it and looked. ‘@Louis_Tomlinson: Look who me and @EleanorJCalder got back together. @Harry_Styles + @MadsAnderson’ with the picture underneath. It looked adorable. I laughed and locked my phone. We thanked Louis and Eleanor again and went home. We got back and spent some time together. We’ve been apart for a month. It was far too long. I got a text from Grimmy asking if we wanted to go on his show. He said he’d seen Louis’ tweet and wanted us to confirm it. I asked Maddie and she agreed. He’s doing a show now. I texted him and said we’d be there in about 30 minutes. We sorted out Brooklyn and got into the car. We listened to his show as we drove. “I have some very special guests tonight, this couple is made up of a pop star and a normal university student. They’ve got a baby together and have been through a rough patch lately. They’ll be on in about 20 minutes.” We drove to the studio and got out of the car. Maddie carried Brooklyn and I took her other hand. I waved at the receptionist who was expecting us and walked to Grimmy’s studio. We opened the door and he greeted us. He was playing a song. “I’m so glad you got back together, I’ve missed doing stories about you.” He said. We laughed and sat down as we waited for the song to finish. “Now, the guests have arrived. Has everyone guessed who it is yet? Please welcome, Harry and Maddie Styles.” He said into his microphone. “So, the last time you were both here you were announcing your relationship. Here we are, a year and a half on, and you’re married with a baby. How does it feel?” He asked. “Yeah, it’s weird. We’ve been through quite a bit in the last 18 months. There have been a few rough patches but we’ve managed to get through them.” I said. “And the latest rough patch, left you split up for a month, what exactly happened?” Grimmy continued. I looked at Maddie and she nodded telling me it was okay to say. “Well, to be honest, Maddie kept some things from me that were quite important,” I said, I wasn’t sure if I should mention her possible infertility. “Like, when I was in the car crash a few months ago, it may have left a lasting effect meaning I can’t have any more children.” Maddie finished my sentence. “Ah, now, you’re a couple that many people look up to. I mean Maddie, you’re just a normal 22 year old girl from California who came to London for University and ended up living next to two of the world’s biggest boyband. But it has its disadvantages,” Grimmy said. “Yeah,” Maddie answered. “You have millions of fans Harry, how do you and Maddie deal with the hate that she gets for being married to you?” He said turning to me. “Maddie sometimes takes it to heart, there was one time when she was pregnant that someone said something that really upset her, but I just reassure her that none of it is true. Many people tell her I hate her and don’t love her and that isn’t true. If I didn’t love her, I wouldn’t have married her 5 months ago.” I informed him. “That’s sweet, Maddie, you must have gotten quite a bit of hate over the last month, how did you deal with it without Harry?” He turned to her. “Yeah, I got loads. I was part of the reason that the American leg of One Direction’s tour was cancelled. I was a mess anyway; I wouldn’t even touch my daughter. It made me feel bad but I tried my best to ignore it. Whenever I got a mention on twitter I just deleted it because I didn’t want to see what people were saying about me. I guess I was a bit of a wimp about it.” She said. “You said about you being a mess, what made you feel you needed to come back to London?” He asked. “To be honest, I had no intentions of coming back. I was actually looking at divorces.” That bit hurt. “But Louis and Eleanor came over to California after my mum called them. They basically dragged me back. On the plane back, they reminded me of Harry and Brooklyn and I was pretty stubborn until Louis pulled my rings out of his pocket and put them back on my finger. That’s when it really hit me.” She explained. “So, Louis and Eleanor put you back together? I guess your relationship with them works out quite well with you all being so close.” Nick said. “Yeah, all 10 of us are close.” I said. “Ah, care to explain why the blonde we all know and love is now a brunette?” He asked. I laughed, “Because I wanted to change. I was upset about breaking up with Harry so I wanted to be different. So it wouldn’t affect me anymore, it didn’t work. But I like being a brunette!” Maddie said. “She still talks like a blonde.” I said. She slapped my arm causing Grimmy to laugh. “You asked for that mate,” He said. “What did Louis and Eleanor say on the plane? What were their methods?” Grimmy continued. “First they told me that I wasn’t the person they knew; I wasn’t the loving, caring mum. Then when that didn’t work they tried showing me some pictures on my phone. There was one of me and Brooklyn and then one of me and Harry. It reminded me about my family but it was when Louis put the rings back on my finger that I realised how stupid I was being.” She said. “Yeah, I’ve heard they’re quite nice, let’s see them.” He said. She held out her hand and showed him her rings. “So that one is the engagement ring and the other one’s the wedding ring?” He said pointing at her engagement ring. “Yeah,” She confirmed. “God Harry, you splashed the cash.” He said. Maddie laughed. “I’ve been told. Louis wasn’t too happy after I proposed because El told him that she wanted a ring like that.” I laughed. Grimmy laughed as well. “It’s great that you two are back together and you’re rocking the new look Maddie. I guess we all owe a thank you to Louis and Eleanor and Maddie’s mum for calling them.” Grimmy finished. “When’s Eleanor due?” He asked. “Early April I think,” Maddie said. “Well, congratulations on getting back together and we’ll see you soon. Goodnight.” Grimmy said. “Goodnight,” Maddie and I both said before Grimmy turned off all the mics. “You two amaze me. You’re 22 and married with a baby. You’ve been through so much together and you always come out smiling. You’re a great couple guys.” Nick said hugging us before we left. “Thank you,” We said. We got into the car and I started talking to Maddie. “You really opened up. You told them everything. I’m proud of you,” I said. “Well, there isn’t much they don’t know anyway.” Maddie said. “You told them about your possible infertility and about the state you were in.” I continued. “Yeah, because I want them to know that I do have feelings.” She answered. “Were you really looking at divorces?” I asked. “Yeah, I was when Louis and Eleanor got there. Louis took my laptop off me and said I wouldn’t need them. He packed my suitcase and El picked out some clothes and dragged me out of bed and told me to get dressed. They dragged me all the way here.” She admitted. “Oh right,” I said. We drove home and put Brooklyn in her crib before going to bed ourselves.

Notes

This is short so I'm going to upload the next one too, I just didn't want to put this one in the last bit because it kind of ruins the suspense.
