Maddie’s P.O.V
I woke up to Brooklyn crying. I threw the duvet off me and went to see to her. “Ssh baby, what’s the matter?” I cooed picking her up and cradling her. I rocked her from side to side for a while before getting some milk and feeding her. She seemed to quieten down once she had been fed. I looked at the time. 7am, I need to be out of the house by 9.30 at the latest. I texted El and asked her to look after Brooke whilst I went to work, “Yeah sure, I’ll come to yours,” She replied. I smiled and got Brooklyn dressed. I went to work out quickly hoping to make a tiny bit of difference before going to work. I had just finished working out when Eleanor arrived. “Hey,” I opened the door. “Thanks for doing this,” I said. “No problem, you need help and I’m gonna help.” She told me. I smiled. “I’m just gonna go and get ready. Brooke’s in the nursery if you want to see her,” I said. I ran upstairs to my bathroom and shut the door. I got into the shower and showered quickly before going into my bedroom to get dressed. I got fully ready and went into the nursery. Eleanor was sitting cradling Brooklyn in her arms. I smiled, “Thanks again, I’ve got to go.” I said. “Okay, see you later.” I picked up my bag and went downstairs. I decided to take my Porsche. I went into the garage and put my bag in the car. I was wearing flats to drive and I have heels that I’m going to change into when I get to work. I drove out of the garage and locked the door behind me before driving to the modelling office. I got there and told them who I was. “Ah yes, wait here and I’ll call the executive.” I sat down before being greeted by Rachel, another executive at the company to the one I had seen previously. “Hi Maddie. If you would like to come this way,” she gestured towards a corridor. I stood up, now in my heels and followed after her. She walked into an office and told me to sit down. I sat in front of her desk. “Now, I understand the deal was lose a dress size and you get the job?” Rachel started. “Yeah it was, I was an 8 but I don’t know what I am now.” I confirmed. “Okay, well let’s do that first.” We determined my dress size to be a 4. I was really surprised that I managed to lose that much in basically a week. We then sat down and started discussing rotas and hours to fit in with my singing. We agreed that they would do a rota first and give it to Isabelle and then Isabelle would take it to Simon before emailing it to me. They said that any award shows will always take priority over my modelling work, no matter how important. “I believe there are the Brits coming up soon, Simon has told me you are likely to be attending.” Rachel said. “Am I? I didn’t know anything about that.” I admitted. “Oh, well we’ve been told that your single is going to be massive. Obviously any big deals that need to be made, you will be allowed time off for. And the latest we will go to is 7pm, I don’t know what time Simon would be willing to work you until but I’m sure he’ll take in the information that you’re basically a single mum.” I nodded, not sure what to say in return. Rachel handed me some paperwork and asked me to fill it in. The first box said ‘Full Name (Including Middle)’ I wrote ‘Madeline Aimee Styles’, the next box was ‘Preferred Name’ so I wrote, ‘Maddie Anderson’. I spent a few hours filling in the paperwork in Rachel’s office. When I had finished she decided that we should do a photo shoot. I didn’t mind because I kind of guessed that she wanted me to. I’m used to them by now. She gave me some denim shorts and a top and told me to change. When I stepped out of the changing room in my dressing room, Emily was there. I sat in front of her facing the mirror and she loosely plaited my hair making it look amazing. I thanked her and walked out of my dressing room which I was told was going to have my name on it in time. “Woah, you look stunning,” Rachel stood back. I laughed. She handed me some wedge sandals to swap with my black heels. I swapped my shoes quickly before they asked me to start taking shots. I spent a few hours posing. “That’s it! Thanks Maddie.” Rachel told me to signal we were finished. I walked over to her. “That was for Vogue Magazine, not just for the fashion segments but for your own article. You’ll be doing the interview with them tomorrow.” She smiled. I was in shock, I couldn’t believe that I had just done a photo shoot for Vogue. For my own article. It took a while to sink in. We looked at all the pictures and decided they would be perfect. I got changed back into my clothes. “Oh, by the way Maddie, you get to keep the clothes. You’re the skinniest model we have so no one else will fit in them. You get to keep the clothes from every shoot we do.” I was in shock for the second time in a matter of minutes. I love this job. “Thank you! I don’t have to go shopping anymore, I’m sure Harry will appreciate it too now that I’m not spending all our money.” I laughed. Rachel laughed too. We sat and got to know each other before I was given permission to leave. It was 6pm. I got into my car and changed my shoes before driving home. I parked in the garage and walked inside. El was sitting in the living room watching TV whilst Brooklyn played with her toys. “How was it?” She asked. “Amazing. I get to keep all my clothes from shoots because I’m now a size 4.” I told her. “Oh my god. That’s… wow. In two weeks you’ve dropped two dress sizes?” El exclaimed. “Yep, I know right.” I sat next to her. She hugged me and I looked at the TV. She turned it off but I saw Harry’s face flash across the screen. “What’s happened?” I asked knowing she was trying to hide something from me. “Nothing you need to worry about, just some stupid people.” “Tell me.” I looked at her seriously. “Harry lashed out at a fan,” she admitted finally. “Please tell me he didn’t,” I said. “He didn’t hit her, just scared her a bit. He was defending you,” she told me. “Great, so I’m going to get the blame.” I huffed. “What did they say?” I asked. “The fan said you’re a waste of space and you’re only with Harry for his fame and Harry told her to shut up because they don’t know anything about you and him.” Eleanor said. I turned the TV back on and the fan was talking. “…I did it because Maddie deserves it. Maddie is obviously only using Harry for his fame because since she married him, she’s obtained herself a job as a model as well as being seen going into a recording studio. And don’t try and tell me that they must love each other because they have a baby because that kid was a mistake anyway, it shows that Maddie doesn’t love him. They never look happy together either. Every time a new picture of Maddie and Harry comes out, Maddie is always frowning, never smiling. She is the same around everyone who she has met through Harry as well as her daughter. She finds any opportunity to dump Brooklyn and is only happy when Harry is touring. She’s never cried over Harry but he’s cried over her and I don’t know why. She’s a waste of space and doesn’t love him at all.” The fan finished. It hurt to hear that, of course I love him. “Well, personally I disagree with that. Let’s not forget that Maddie has a lot of money herself and has been a model before, just because she’s obtained them jobs mean that she’s talented. Maddie is beautiful so it’s no wonder she’s been snapped up as a model yet again and she’s also very talented, probably explained why she’s been visiting a recording studio. Maybe their daughter was a mistake but she could have had her aborted. She didn’t though and carried her for around 8 months before Brooklyn was prematurely born. And to say Maddie is unhappy around Harry and everyone she has met through him is untrue. They’ve been seen together on many occasions smiling and laughing and Maddie is good friends with Gemma, Harry’s sister as well as his bandmates and their partners. Maddie is very busy and wants the best for Brooklyn, she goes to the best nursery in their neighbourhood and Maddie has picked her up all but one time where she was held up in the studio but still requested that someone familiar to Brooklyn, in this case Danielle Peazer, Liam Payne’s rumoured fiancée, pick her up. Maddie is a caring mum and will stop at nothing to protect her family. And if we’re going to talk about attention seeking, we should move on to Maddie’s best friend, Annabel Glover, the redhead started dating Niall Horan on the day that Maddie went into labour. Not attention seeking much, and when the relationship got “too difficult for her to handle” she dumped Niall for new boyfriend, Jack, seems suspicious. She has also been spotted storming out of Maddie’s house allegedly after a row with her on Maddie’s birthday.” The gossip channel host said. I turned off the TV. “They’re right about Belle. She was upset for what, one day? Niall is still broken.” I said. El nodded in agreement. I got a text. “I know you’ve probably seen the news but please Skype me. I did it for you and I love you babe, H xx” I locked my phone. “Harry wants me to Skype him but I don’t really want to after this, I’m going to get changed,” I stood up. I went upstairs and got changed into some pyjamas. I decided to text him back. “Yeah I have, I don’t care whether you did it for me or not, you scared the shit out of that girl, but she deserved it. She’s a bitch. They had her do an interview on the gossip channel and all she talked about was me attention seeking. I love you too, Skype me, M xx” I went back downstairs and the laptop was beeping. “Made up then?” El laughed reading the name. “What can I say? I can’t stay mad at him.” I replied. She smiled and I answered the call. “Hey gorgeous,” Harry’s raspy voice said. “Hi,” I smiled at him. “Where’s my other gorgeous girl?” He asked. “El is right here,” I showed him and they laughed. “I have a bone to pick with you,” He pointed at El. “But I meant Brooke,” he said to me. I laughed and went into the office and found her playing on the floor. I picked her up and took her back into the living room. Harry was arguing with Eleanor. “Woah, what’s going on?” I asked. “El told Louis that she regrets getting pregnant even though she was the one who wanted kids.” Harry told me. “Did you?” I turned to her. “Yeah but I didn’t mean it,” she said. “As long as you didn’t mean it. Stop arguing! Anyway Harry, Brooke is here.” I sat down in front of the laptop again. “Hey princess, is mummy looking after you?” Harry cooed. “Dada,” Brooke pointed at the screen. “Yes baby, dada.” I smiled. She tried to touch the screen. Harry looked so happy to see her but hurt that he couldn’t be with her. “Haz, it’s okay.” I said. “I hate that I’ve left you on your own with her. I wish I could be there with you two, my family.” He sighed. “Harry, I’ve got it handled. She’s getting on really well at nursery and she won’t remember these years anyway. She won’t know if you’ve been away or not. We both love you.” “I guess, I love you guys too.” We were on Skype for a while and El left in the middle. We finished skyping and I put Brooke to bed before going to bed myself, I’m so nervous. My single comes out tomorrow.
I woke up to my phone ringing. It was Simon.
(Simon/Maddie)
Hello?
Hi Maddie, we’re about to release your single and we think it would be good if you put a message on Twitter about it. Also, you have some interviews about it today so can you come to the studio at about 12?
Okay I will and yeah okay, see you then.
I hung up. He texted me the link and said it’s been released. I tweeted: “Many of you may have seen me going into a recording studio, well here’s what I’ve been up to. ”. I left it for a while to get everyone to listen to it and I suddenly started getting replies. “Oh my god. It’s amazing!” Was a frequent one and another was, “I bet Harry is so proud of you for making such an amazing single,” It made me feel so happy. I don’t have haters, I have fans. I got a text from Harry. “They’re right, I’m so proud of you. It’s absolutely incredible and you have a gorgeous voice. I love you xxxxxx” I smiled and put my phone down. I got out of bed and dressed Brooke before getting dressed in clothes good enough for an interview. I looked at the time and it was 11.30. I can’t leave Brooke with El today because she has her scan today. I picked up Brooke and got into my car before driving to work. Isabelle ran over. “Do you want me to take Brooklyn whilst you do your interviews?” She asked. “Umm, yeah okay. Look after her.” I handed my daughter over. Isabelle told me where to go and when I got there Simon was waiting for me. “We have news, just 3 hours after your single was released, you’re number one.” He said. My jaw dropped. I was shocked. “What?” I replied. “You’re number one Maddie. Everyone has been buying and downloading your single.” He repeated. I stood frozen, I tried to let it sink in but I couldn’t. I’m not even British and I’m number one in Britain. It’s amazing. “Anyway, your first interview is just in there,” he pointed to a side door. “Hair and makeup and then go and do your interview.” He smiled before walking out. Emily called me over and I sat in front of her whilst she played with my hair and redid my makeup. I finished and walked into the room. “Hi Maddie, we’re from Vogue. Take a seat.” A man said gesturing to the leather couch. I sat down. “So Maddie, you released your first single just 3 hours ago and we believe you have just been told some good news?” “Yeah, Fresh Start has gone to number one and I can’t believe it. I mean, I’m not even British!” I laughed. “Well it’s number five in the States at the moment so you’re on your way to number one there too.” He informed me. Again I was shocked. I know how hard it is to even get into the charts in the US let alone be in the top 5. It’s mad. “Now, you’ve just become a singer and you’re also a model, is that correct?” “Yeah it is. I’ve always wanted to get back into modelling so when I was offered the job I just had to take it.” “Tell us how you got into singing.” “Well, I was backstage at One Direction’s concert watching them rehearse and I was singing along. I didn’t notice Simon come in so I was still singing, then he said that I’m a really good singer and that he’d even consider signing me to his record label. It was mad really.” “How did Harry react when you told him?” “He was really excited and kept going on about how he couldn’t wait to support me like I support him and stuff like that, it was really funny!” I laughed. “Have you heard from him this morning after releasing your single?” “Yeah, he texted me and told me that he liked my single and that he was proud of me.” “That’s good, you must have quite a big fan base already to have reached number one, do you think that’s because of your relationship with One Direction?” “Yeah it probably is, I mean, the Directioners are the only people that really know I exist to be honest. I’m known as Harry Styles’ wife and I really want to change that, I guess my music kind of appeals to the fans of 1D because it’s the same style. I’d like to be known as a singer though instead of someone’s wife. It gets boring after a while having people come up to you and go ‘Aren’t you Harry Styles’ girlfriend’ or something like that, I’d prefer to be a singer than labelled as someone’s wife if you get what I mean.” “You’ve released your single with the name Maddie Anderson on it, is that because you don’t want to be labelled as Harry’s wife?” “Yeah that’s exactly why I chose to be known as Anderson. I’ve got to make boundaries. I’m Maddie Anderson at work and Maddie Styles at home. I don’t want to mix my personal and professional lives, I want to keep them separate. When I go home that’s when I’m a mum and a wife, not at work. If I let my lives merge then I’d never get any work done.” “Would you say Harry does that too?” “Yeah I would, when he’s away on tour, although he still cares about Brooke, he wants to focus on his work. We can’t let our personal lives interfere with our work. I try to avoid bringing Brooke to the studio with me because otherwise I’ll get distracted and when Harry is home he doesn’t want to take Brooke into work with him. Then, not only will Harry be distracted, the other boys will be too.” “You’re all really close, how?” “What do you mean? Like all of us including the other boys partners?” “Yeah.” “Oh, we all spend a lot of time together. Of course Harry and the boys are practically living with each other most of the time and when the boys are away, us girls try and spend as much time together as possible, it’s not that easy with all of us working and Eleanor being pregnant but we try. We’re all really good friends and it just wouldn’t work if we didn’t get along. If we hated each other, the boys would be torn between us and each other and we would hate to do that to them. They’re all my best friends and I couldn’t wish for better best friends.” “What about your best friend from California, Annabel?” “We’ve not really seen eye to eye since she split with Niall. She was only upset for a day or so and Niall was upset for way longer. I kinda had to choose between them and I chose Niall. I don’t see Belle much anymore and Niall is way more important to me.” “Isn’t she Brooklyn’s godmother?” “Yeah she is but to be honest, she doesn’t care about Brooke that much, she’d rather be with her boyfriend than look after Brooke.” “Anyway, let’s get back to the work side of things. Your single is edging closer to number one in the States. It’s number three at the moment. Did you ever expect to be such a huge success?” “Never. I know I’m from America and everything but I didn’t even expect to get into the charts let alone basically top them, it’s mad. I never expected to be number one in the UK either, I don’t even think that many people knew I was releasing a single. I only started working on it last week and it’s not even that good.” “I think the British public disagree.” “Maybe, but I honestly never expected it to be such a huge success.” Chris was standing behind the interviewer and told him to wrap it up. “Okay, well thank you for your time and we hope to see you again soon.” He finished. I smiled. “No problem.” The interviewer left and Chris walked over to me. “That was good but try to avoid the personal questions in future,” He told me. “Okay, will do.” “Your next interview is on camera. Try to avoid the personal questions and bringing Harry into it and you’ll be fine.” He stood up and walked out before a woman came in followed by a guy with a camera. She sat down and introduced herself to me. “Hi Maddie, you’ve just released a single, Fresh Start isn’t it?” “Yeah,” “What’s it about?” “It’s about leaving my family behind for a fresh start like I did when I left California to come to University.” “Awh that’s sweet, have your family heard it?” “I’m not sure, none of them have said anything.” “Oh okay, how does it feel getting to number one in a matter of hours?” “Amazing. I never ever dreamt of getting this far. I didn’t even think I’d make the charts.” “Why not?” “Because there are so many great artists out there like Rihanna and Adele, I didn’t think I even had a chance.” “We have some fan questions for you, what made you want to make music?” “I never intentionally meant to be signed, it just kind of happened. It was quite mad really, I was in L.A and then when I got back here, Simon called me to his office and it just went from there.” “Will there be an album anytime soon?” “I don’t know to be honest, it’s not something we’ve talked about but I hope so. It would be a shame if I only got to release one single.” “You have a pretty unique style which must be quite expensive, how do you afford it?” “Yeah, my shoes cost quite a lot but my dad is a producer/director and I got most of my shoes as presents from my mum and him but as well when I was in California I was a model and earned quite a bit of money for myself and that’s how I afford it.” “It’s nothing to do with being married to a millionaire then?” “I can honestly say, I never ask him for money. I survive with what I have and don’t need to use his money. He earned it and he should spend it.” “What about your multi-million pound home?” “Harry paid for half, I paid for half, I would never ask for money off of him.” “How do you manage to juggle being a parent as well as a model and singer?” “I don’t know really, I guess it just comes to me. My bosses take into account that I have a daughter and base my work around that. They work in close partnership with each other to make sure that I’m not double booked too.” “Okay, thank you. That’s it.” She finished. The man turned the camera off and she smiled at me before they both walked out. I waited for a while before going outside. “How did it go?” Chris asked me. “It was alright, they implied I was a gold-digger but other than that.” I said. He laughed and Isabelle walked in with Brooke. I walked over to them and took Brooke off her. “Was she well behaved?” I asked. “An angel, if you ever need me to look after her I will.” She told me. I smiled and Chris came over. “You’re number two in the States behind Taylor Swift so I wouldn’t count on getting to number one. You can go home now see you later.” He said. I grabbed my bag and left. I got into my car and drove home.
