Maddie’s P.O.V
I looked at my Twitter quickly. I had loads and loads of hate. Harry obviously hadn’t been on it for a while. I read through some of them, “You’re so ugly,”, “fat,” “slut,” “cheat,” “I don’t know what Harry sees in you.” “go die,” were just some frequent ones. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I put my phone down and nuzzled my head into Harry’s pillow. It smelt of him. I tried to go to sleep but I couldn’t. “Why do they hate me?” I whispered looking out of the window. I got out of bed and sat on the windowsill and curled up with my legs in my arms. It was starting to rain and I watched the water drip down the window. I could see the lights on in Perrie and Zayn’s house. Perrie was probably packing for her tour. I saw her walk past the window looking out as she did. I think she saw me because she stood staring for a while. I got a text.
From: Perrie
What’s the matter hun? You only sit in your window when you’re upset, do you want me to come over?xx
I looked at her through the window and she was still looking at me.
To: Perrie
It’s so hard, why do they hate me Perrie? I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve this…x
I sent my reply and she looked at her phone. She walked out of the bedroom and turned off the light. I sat and rested my head in my legs and continued to cry. About 5 minutes later, Perrie walked into my bedroom. “Hey, shh, it’s gonna be okay Maddie.” She hugged me. “They hate me, what’ve I done?” I sobbed. “You haven’t done anything, they’re just jealous of you. You’re married to Harry fucking Styles. They’re horrible people, ignore them.” I half smiled. “You know you only have to text me and I’ll come over. Don’t just sit in your window crying.” She told me. “I thought you’d left,” I said still crying into my legs. “Look, Maddie. You are perfect in every single way and the fans only see what people show of you. They don’t see how amazing you are with Brooklyn and how you try so hard to stop your marriage falling apart whilst Harry is away. They don’t see you being the best best friend that anyone could ever want. Look at you with Niall and Belle, you’ve helped them through so much. Niall has finally started to come to terms with the fact that she’s gone and isn’t coming back because of you. Brooke and Faye absolutely adore you. You help them through every problem and they know that if they call you, you will fly back to California straight away. They don’t see you trying to be the best person you can be. They don’t see all your hidden talents. They don’t know anything about you babe. I love you, Zayn, El, Louis, Dani, Liam, Niall, Brooklyn, Brooke, Faye, Belle and of course, Harry, we all love you. You have so many people who love you. Don’t forget that. Don’t let this get the better of you. You know what it’s like to go through depression and you don’t want to go back there do you? Maddie, you are amazing. Just remember that.” Perrie said. I got up from the windowsill and hugged her. “Thank you,” I whispered. She handed me something. It was an envelope with my full name written on it. ‘Madeline Styles’ I opened it. There was a note inside. ‘If you are reading this it means the hate got the better of you. I gave this to Perrie because I knew you wouldn’t tell anyone and you’d just sit in the window. I knew Perrie would see you. Maddie, you are the most gorgeous person I have ever met. I fell in love with you at first sight, even if I just saw the back of you. Ever since that night when we followed you out of the airport I knew I’d have to make you mine one day. And I did. That’s why you’re Mrs Styles now. You are completely perfect to me. You work so hard being a mum to Brooklyn and a wife to me. I know it’s hard with me always being away but I promise one day we will be a normal family. You are so happy all the time and I’m sure you spend some nights lying next to me and you aren’t asleep. You think I fall for it but I don’t. I know you stay up for hours thinking, I hear you crying into your pillow. I know the hate is horrible. I know. All the others go through it too but nowhere near as bad as you. I don’t know why they do it but they are not fans.’ A tear dripped off my face and onto the paper. ‘I try so hard to be the best husband I can be but I really don’t know what to do when you cry. I don’t know what to do when you lock yourself away. I don’t know what to do when you won’t talk to me. I just wish you could tell me how much it all affects you. It won’t make me love you any less I promise. I love you so much Mrs Styles. Please, look after yourself and ignore what those horrible people say on Twitter. I can’t lose you again Maddie. I love you beautiful, Harry xxxxxx’ I put the note back in the envelope. “What did it say?” Perrie asked. “It said that he loves me no matter what and that the people on Twitter are horrible.” I replied with tears still in my eyes. “That’s so sweet, and,” She said walking into the closet. She came out with one of Harry’s sweaters in her hand. “He said to give you this,” She handed it to me. She hugged me. “I really have to get back and finish packing, I’ll see you soon,” She said. “Bye,” She stood up and left. I held Harry’s sweater close to my chest. I got back into bed and finally drifted to sleep. I woke up at around 8am and got out of bed. I looked at my phone.
From: Harry<3<3xxx
Good morning gorgeous, have a good day, don’t forget to look after yourself, I love you xxxx <3
I smiled and put down my phone. I knew he’d seen the hate and that Perrie had told him what a mess I was. I went into the nursery and looked at Brooklyn asleep in her crib. I watched her for a while before going downstairs to the bedrooms. I want to decorate one for Brooklyn. I opened the door to the biggest one and walked inside. I started to plan out what I would do. I heard Brooklyn stirring and went to see to her. I picked her up and rocked her in my arms before getting her dressed. I put her down on the floor and went back into my bedroom to get dressed myself. When I was ready I picked up Brooklyn and went downstairs. I put her in her car seat and walked out to the garage through the door inside the house and put her into the car. I went back inside and quickly got my bag and stroller and put them in too. I pulled on my coat and went out the door locking it behind me. I opened the front garage door and drove my car out stopping to close the door and drove to the nearest DIY store. I got a load of girly coloured paints, a curtain rail, a drill, a roller and some other random things. People were staring at me as I walked around. They all knew who I was. I was famous for being Harry Styles’ wife. I paid for the stuff and drove home. I went straight up to the bedroom with Brooklyn in one hand and the paint in the other. I put them down and went to get the rest of the things I bought. I went back upstairs and put the protective covering over the carpet. There isn’t any furniture in here yet so I didn’t have to worry about that. I put some tape around the edges of the walls and then went upstairs to get Brooklyn’s travel crib and change into some old clothes. I found some t-shirts of Harry’s that he never wears and an old pair of jeans and put them on. I took the travel crib back to the bedroom and put Brooklyn in it with some toys. She played happily whilst I painted. I’m quite artistic so I used to paint all the time. I used pale pink as a base colour and wanted to put princesses on it. It took me a few hours to do the base coat and I left it to dry. I took Brooklyn downstairs and we played with her toys and watched some kids TV shows before I put her down for her nap. I went back into the bedroom and felt the wall to see if it had dried. It was dry so I picked up the paints that I would use for the princesses and some thin paint brushes. First I painted Cinderella, then Aurora, Snow White, Belle and lastly Ariel. I looked around at my work and it looked amazing, it’s been ages since I painted so I was really proud of myself. I took my phone out of my pocket and took a picture before posting it to Twitter with the caption: ‘Pretty proud of this if I do say so myself!’ I went back downstairs and sat at the dining room table. My phone buzzed breaking the silence and making me jump.
From: Harry<3<3xxx
I saw your tweet, is that Brooklyn’s bedroom? Did you do it yourself?xx
I smiled; just thinking about Harry makes me smile.
To: Harry<3<3xxx
Yes and yes, do you like it?xxx
I replied. There was a knock at the door and I went to open it. Eleanor was here. “Hey,” I said letting her in. “You’re one talented girl, can you sing as well?” She walked in and I shut the door before starting to sing my favourite One Direction song, ‘Midnight Memories’. Eleanor stood there with her mouth wide open. “What?” I said. “You can do everything! You’re an amazing singer!” She remarked. I laughed. “I have a job for you.” I told her. “I want you to help me pick out furniture for Brooklyn’s bedroom. My project is to sort out this house whilst Harry is away.” She smiled. “No problem! Get the catalogues out!” She laughed. We got them out and started going through them, still going with the princess theme. Eleanor picked out some really cute curtains and I went online and ordered them. I found a really nice little bed with a canopy and some princess sheets and ordered them too. We looked for another hour and found a dresser, beanbag, chair and light shade. We ordered everything and then Eleanor wanted to see the bedroom. She loved it so much. “Can you paint my kids bedrooms?” She laughed rubbing her swollen stomach. “Sure, anytime babe,” I hugged her. “We’ll save a load of money on decorators that’s for sure, you realise everyone is going to want you to decorate their places now!” She said. “As long as they pay me in babysitting it’s fine!” I grinned before going upstairs to wake Brooklyn from her nap or she won’t sleep tonight. I checked my phone whilst I was up there and had a new message.
From: Harry<3<3xxx
I love it, I never knew you were so talented!xxx
I laughed and went back to El. “You know what would make this even better?” She said. “What?” I asked intrigued. “If you print some of the pictures you have on your phone off and get them framed,” She suggested. “That’s a great idea! Thanks El!” I smiled. We went back downstairs and I played with Brooklyn on the floor. “What are you going to do before you start modelling?” Eleanor asked. “Just try and sort the house out, it’s a mess and has been since we moved in and we don’t have half the stuff we need! I’ll just be cleaning and ordering stuff. You can help by being in charge of ordering if you want!” I told her. “Okay, I’m gonna be bored anyway, will I be allowed to come with you to some shoots?” She wondered. “Yeah probably, I don’t want you to be bored and Louis will kill me if I don’t look after you.” I laughed. “You know, you’re such a good friend Maddie, I couldn’t dream for anything else in a friend.” She smiled. I nearly cried it was so sweet. “Awh don’t cry, it’s a good thing. Louis and I love you so much, you’re gonna be an amazing auntie to our kids.” She hugged me. “Thank you,” I choked out wiping away a tear. My laptop started beeping signalling an incoming Skype call. I looked at it. “Harry Styles”, I squealed and answered it. “Hey baby,” He said. “Hi,” I replied. “El is here by the way,” I told him. “Louis!!” He shouted. Louis came running and smiled when he saw El. “Hey gorgeous,” he sat next to Harry. “I can’t believe you painted that room Maddie,” Louis admitted. “I did, and I’m really proud of it. El obviously likes it too because she asked me to do your kids bedrooms as well!” I laughed. He smiled. “We’d love for you to do that but first we need to find a house, how about it El?” Louis said. “Yeah, I was thinking that. We can’t stay in that apartment with two kids on the way.” Eleanor agreed with him. “Get a house near ours!” Harry said. “We were planning to. I can’t wait until I get home.” Louis sighed. “I can’t wait for you guys to come home, I miss you already.” I pouted. I noticed Harry staring at me and obviously Louis did too because he poked him. “What!” Harry stopped staring at me. “Why are you staring at me?” I asked. “You look hot wearing my clothes.” He told me. I looked down at what I was wearing. “Thanks, you don’t mind me wearing this do you?” I checked. “No of course not, it looks better on you than it ever did on me.” He laughed. “Okay,” I smiled. We all talked for a while before the boys had to get ready for their concert. Louis told El that he’s said about them having twins so there were going to be articles about it. As soon as the call ended Eleanor went on Google and typed in: ‘Louis Tomlinson’ it came up with an article and we read it. “Pop sensation Louis Tomlinson announces there is not one but two baby Tomlinson’s on the way. Louis’ girlfriend Eleanor Calder is 7 months pregnant with twins. Louis said that he and Eleanor are very excited for their new arrivals. “We’re just looking forward to the day we get to meet our children now. We don’t really have anything ready but I’ve left that to Eleanor and Maddie. I’d be useless anyway.” Eleanor is currently in England with Harry Styles’ wife Madeline. Eleanor and Madeline spend a lot of time together when the boys are away so it’s no wonder that she is so involved.” Eleanor looked really happy that the news was out. “I really want to know what sex they are,” She said. “Find out at your next scan then, I had named Brooke before she was born!” I laughed. “I really want a boy and a girl, it will be so cute. Brooklyn can marry the boy and be best friends with the girl!” El laughed. “Sounds like a plan,” I giggled. We talked for a while before Eleanor went home because it was getting late.
Harry’s P.O.V
When Perrie texted me last night it made me feel so useless, she told me that Maddie was sitting on the windowsill and I knew that meant she was upset. I went onto her Twitter and realised why. She had loads of hate and it obviously got to her. I’d written Maddie a note and gave it to Perrie just in case Maddie did get upset. I hate being away from her for ages but it has to be done. I miss her so much. We’ve just finished doing a concert and all the boys were really happy and I was kind of depressed. They all knew something was up so as soon as we finished they started to question me. “Why are you upset?” Zayn asked. I took my phone out of my pocket and showed him all of Maddie’s hate. “Why do they do that to her?” Liam said. “I don’t know but it does affect her. I’ve heard her crying herself to sleep before. It breaks my heart that I can’t do anything to help.” I replied. “Maybe you can, go on your Twitter.” Niall said. I went on it and he took my phone off of me. I saw him tweet, “From now on, anyone who gives Maddie or any of the girls hate will be blocked by me and the lads. You don’t realise what you do to them and that we have to comfort them every night and assure them that it isn’t true. You’re not a true fan if you give them hate.” on a twitlonger. He handed it back to me. “There, that should stop most of it and we’ll block anyone who hates on the girls. They don’t deserve the hate.” I took my phone off of him and locked it. We got changed and went back to the hotel. I knew it was late back home but I tried to call Maddie anyway. She answered almost straight away. “Hello?” I heard her voice. “Hey baby, I didn’t wake you did I?” I checked. “No, I can’t sleep.” She said quietly. “Why not babe?” I questioned. “I miss you Haz, I can’t sleep without you by my side.” She admitted. “Awh, I miss you too gorgeous but I can’t be there with you. Perrie gave you the sweater didn’t she?” I said. “Yeah, it helped last night but I just want you back, I miss having your strong arms wrapped around my waist as I fall asleep. Our bed is cold without you,” She replied. “I miss wrapping my arms around you but it’s not for long baby. I’ll be home soon. You won’t even know I’ve been gone.” I tried to comfort her. “You’re not here for another 6 weeks Haz, I can’t wait that long.” She answered. “I know but it’s my job, I’m sorry Maddie. I love you so much.” I told her. “I love you too Harry,” She responded. I had an idea and started to sing to her on the phone. After about 5 minutes I could hear her breathing heavily. I knew she was asleep. I hung up the phone and got ready for bed myself. It is really weird sleeping in a bed on my own. I hate it. I really wanted Maddie to be with me but there was nothing I could do. I got into bed and tried to sleep. I drifted off about 10 minutes later.
I woke up and had two texts. One from Niall and one from Maddie, I read Niall’s first. ‘We don’t need to do rehearsals today so we’re just gonna chill out in my room. Come round if you want.’ I’ll go round later but first I have to read Maddie’s text.
From: Maddie<3:*
Thank you for last night, it really helped me sleep. I love you so much xx
I smiled and sent a reply.
To: Maddie<3:*
That’s okay beautiful, I’m glad I managed to help even if I am miles away. I love you too xxx
I got out of bed and went on my laptop. I checked Maddie’s Twitter and for the first time in ages she didn’t have any hate. What Niall did obviously worked. I saw that Maddie had tweeted a picture and I looked at it. It was Brooklyn pouting with the caption: ‘I think someone misses her daddy,’ She looked so sweet but grumpy at the same time. I got dressed and took the laptop to Niall’s room. “Hey! We were wondering if you were going to join us.” Louis said when I walked in. I put the laptop down and they all looked at it and laughed. “She’s a mini you when she misses someone.” Zayn said. “What do you mean?” I questioned. “You always pull that face when you miss Maddie. Always.” Liam laughed. “Oh okay,” I sat down. “How is Maddie coping after the other night anyway?” Zayn asked. “How do you know about that?” I looked at him confused. “Perrie is my wife, she tells me everything stupid.” He laughed. “What happened?” Niall looked at me. “The hate got to her; she sat on the windowsill in our bedroom crying. Perrie saw her and went over to our house to comfort her. I knew it would happen eventually but I didn’t think it would happen so soon. She’s really not in a good place at the moment. I called her last night and thought I woke her up but she couldn’t sleep. She said that she missed me too much and she couldn’t sleep without me. It was so hard to hear.” I explained. “It will be better when she starts working mate, she’ll have something to set her mind on and won’t keep thinking about you too much.” Louis told me. “Yeah I know but I can’t help but feel guilty that I’m not with her. I’m going to miss her birthday and I don’t want to do that.” I sighed. “I know it’s hard Haz, I might miss the birth of my children. I want to get this finished as much as you do but we can’t give up now. We just need to throw ourselves into it and it will go really quickly.” Louis said. We talked for a while before Maddie called me and I left and went back to my room. “Hey, what’s up?” I asked her. “Nothing, I just wanted to hear your voice.” She said. “Oh okay, I saw your picture of Brooklyn, she’s so cute when she pulls that face.” I told her. “I know, she takes after her dad. Niall sent me a picture of you pulling exactly the same face today saying: ‘Someone misses you!’” She laughed. “That was nice of him!” I said. I opened my laptop and went on Skype. She was online so I called her and heard her laptop beeping in the background. “Why are you Skyping me?” She asked. “Am I not allowed to see your beautiful face?” I said. She answered the Skype and I hung up the phone. “Not with El today?” I queried. “Nah, she was tired so she stayed at her place.” Maddie said. “Are you bored then?” I asked. “No, not really,” She replied. “Okay, what’ve you been doing?” I questioned. “Tidying the house. You make such a mess!” She laughed. “I’m sorry, I’ll tidy up after myself in the future.” I told her. “Good!” She said. I heard Brooklyn cry and she took the laptop upstairs to the nursery. She took Brooklyn out of the crib and sat on the floor with her. “Look, it’s Daddy.” Maddie said pointing at the screen. Brooklyn touched the screen, “Dada,” I heard her say. I smiled. “Hi baby girl, I miss you so much,” I said. She sat and looked at the screen. Maddie laughed and I could see that Brooklyn was pouting. “She’s doing it again! Look I’ve got to go but I’ll talk to you later okay?” Maddie said. “Yeah okay, I love you,” I told her. “I love you too Haz,” She said before ending the call. I sat on my bed and flicked through a load of pictures on my phone. Sometimes I hate my job. Especially when it means that I have to leave Maddie and Brooke behind. Louis came running into my room and jumped on me. “Is someone missing his wife?” Louis asked in a baby voice. “What’s it to you?” I said harshly. “Don’t be like this Haz. I know you miss her but you can still enjoy time with us?” He tried to pull me up. “Good try Tommo but it’s not going to work. I’m not leaving this room.” I pushed him off of me. “Fine, then we’ll come to you.” He said before running out to get the other boys. “I don’t know why you’re being like this Styles, I miss Dani but you don’t see me sulking. You just saw your wife and child, so get up and stop moping!” Liam said. “How do you know I just saw her?” I asked. “She tweeted, look.” He handed his phone to me. I read her tweet. ‘Like father like daughter with the pouting. They both did it at the same time. It was hilarious!’ I smiled. “There it is! There’s that smile!” Niall laughed. I sat up and we talked for a while before I brought up the subject of Maddie’s last name. “Is it strange that I tense up when someone calls Maddie, Miss Anderson?” I asked for their opinions. “No? I do exactly the same if someone calls Perrie, Miss Edwards and they do it quite a lot.” Zayn said. “I’d be a bit annoyed if after me and Dani are married people still called her Miss Peazer instead of Mrs Payne. It’s normal Harry.” Liam added. “But she doesn’t even correct them. She’s never once corrected someone. It makes me think that she wants to be Miss Anderson again. Plus, I heard her telling Brooke that she wants to go back to before she left for University. Brooke said that she missed her so much when she wasn’t at home and Maddie said if she could drop everything and come back she would. She regrets ever meeting me and I know it.” I sighed. “Number 1, you’re wrong. Maddie does correct them. El is going to kill me for this but when we were in Manchester, Maddie saw her ex-boyfriend when they were shopping. She tried to hide from him but it didn’t work and he saw her. He walked over to them and said: “Well if it isn’t Madeline Anderson,” and El said Maddie gritted her teeth and immediately corrected him. Number 2, Maddie does not regret meeting you, she just misses her family a lot when she is gone. You can’t blame her for that. You know Maddie was super close with her family growing up because of everything she went through. Maddie is bound to wish she had never left sometimes but if she didn’t leave she wouldn’t have met you. She hardly ever sees her family now and it probably breaks her just like it did to us. She lives in the UK now Harry. Not California. And she is married to you. What more could she want?” Louis told me. “A life without people following her everywhere? A normal life? A social life? Not to be tied down with a husband and baby at only 22 years old? There is so much that Maddie probably wanted but never got the chance to do. Maddie is getting back into modelling and that worries me because when she starts modelling she is going to get scouted for other things especially singing. Look,” I picked up my phone and went on the video of Maddie singing to Brooklyn. They stared at it in awe. “I can’t believe she can do that.” Zayn said still shocked. “There isn’t much she can’t do, I’m scared that she is going to get scouted and she’ll lose all time for me and Brooklyn. She’ll go back to University during the day, model on her days off, and maybe spend time with us in the evening. Brooklyn is going to have to go to nursery, Maddie isn’t going to see her much. Maddie is going to throw herself into modelling and I know it. What happens when she gets a proper job? Starts working full time? I might have to quit One Direction.” I looked down. “She would never make you do that.” They all said in unison. “I know she wouldn’t make me but if she’s always working I’ll have to. Brooke needs one of her parents around full time and that isn’t going to be Maddie when she starts working.” I told them. “Look, we’ll worry about that if it comes to it. Until then, stop worrying and enjoy yourself.” Niall said.
