Maddie’s P.O.V

“No, we can’t tell her!!” I heard Perrie say downstairs. “Why not? She has to know!” Zayn argued. “No she doesn’t, she’s broken enough as it is without adding to it.” Are they talking about me? “We can’t keep this from her, the last time we kept something like this from her she ended up staying here, like, now.” I heard Zayn. “This will just push her over the edge. She’ll end it with him and I know it. Leave them to sort things out and then maybe he’ll admit to it.” Perrie told him. I decided to go downstairs. I got out of bed and grabbed a jacket out of my suitcase and went downstairs. “What can’t you tell me?” I asked. They turned to look at me. “Nothing, we weren’t talking about you.” Perrie said quickly. “Well I’m pretty sure the only person staying here at the moment apart from Brooklyn, and I’m sure you don’t need to keep things from her.” I said. “Fine, but don’t do anything stupid okay, we don’t know for definite that he did anything.” Perrie told me. “Okay, just tell me.” “Yesterday when I went to get Brooklyn, Harry wouldn’t let me get her, he said you were being a complete bitch and that he may as well call Emma, the girl he slept with, and get her to go round to yours so when he told me you could keep Brooklyn I got suspicious and we asked Louis to keep an eye on Harry.” Perrie started. “Just tell me.” I said, already hurt by what she had told me. “Louis texted Zayn and told him that Emma was at your house last night and she stayed over.” Perrie said. I nodded and ran back upstairs. “See! We shouldn’t have told her.” Perrie shouted when I got upstairs. I sat on the bed and broke down in tears. How could he do it again? This is seriously the final straw. I can’t face Harry again, I just can’t. I went into the bathroom and cleaned myself up. I got dressed and picked up my bag and shoes. I woke up Brooke and took her downstairs. I put on my shoes. “Where are you going?” Perrie asked. “To see El and Louis, I said I’d go and see them today. Can you look after Brooke please?” I replied. “Of course, see you soon.” She said. I put Brooke down and walked out of the door to El and Louis’. I got there and knocked on the door. “Hey, did Perrie and Zayn tell you?” El said when she saw me. “Yeah, I don’t care what he does; I’ve already decided I’m not going back to him. I can’t, I can’t face him.” I walked inside. “I’m so sorry. I wish I didn’t say anything. It’s all my fault.” El said. “No it’s not. You were just being a good best friend; it’s not your fault.” I told her. Louis came in. “I’m really sorry Maddie.” He said. “Don’t be, I guess I’m getting what I deserve.” “You never deserved this. You’re amazing. Harry’s just stupid, very stupid not to see what he’s got or realise what he did has just cost him his wife and kids.” Louis sat down. “Why does everyone keep saying kids? He’s lost Brooklyn. He never had this one, and he’s never going to and neither am I. The deal was he was by my side for the entire time and now he’s not going to be I’m getting rid.” I told him. “No, don’t.” El protested. “Why not? I’m not being a single mum with two kids, no way.” “You won’t be, you have all of us, and we’re all here for you.” She said. “I can’t do it, no; I’ve made up my mind.” I stood up. “I’m going to see Harry. Has she left yet?” I asked. “She left early this morning.” Louis told me. I nodded and walked next door. I unlocked the door and walked in. Harry wasn’t downstairs so I went upstairs. I found him in our bedroom. “Have fun last night did you?” I looked around the room. His clothes were all over the floor. He turned to me. “Maddie…” He said. “Save it, I know you slept with her, well congratulations Harry but you just lost your wife and daughter.” I told him taking my rings off. I handed them to him. “Here, give these to her. No wonder you let me keep Brooke last night, because you wanted to sleep with her. Did you just forget that you still had a wife?” I said. “I’m sorry.” “Sorry doesn’t cut it, what do you want me to do? Jump back into your arms? You have no idea how much it hurt when I found out that you slept with her for three weeks after you left me in California, and then I wake up to Zayn and Perrie arguing about not telling me something and I find out that my husband slept with another woman, again, and to make it worse, in my bed.” “I wasn’t thinking straight.” He said. “I hope she’s worth it.” I walked into the closet and got my other two suitcases down and started to fill them up with my things. When they were both full I zipped them up and went down to my BMW with them. I put them in the trunk and went back upstairs. I picked up the rest of my stuff and chucked it into a holdall. I took that down to my car too and then filled up some bags with Brooklyn’s stuff. I took them and the travel crib down and put them in the car with my stuff. I went back inside and Harry was coming down the stairs. “Wait, please.” He said. “No, stay away from me.” I found the bags I was looking for in the cupboard under the stairs and put them into the car as well. “I love you.” Harry said. “Should have thought about that before you fucked another girl. I’m done with you. To think I was actually considering coming back.” I spat. “Maddie, please, let me make it up to you. I promise I will never do it again.” “Why did you do it? Is it because I’m pregnant and you know I won’t have sex with you anymore so you had to do it with her? Or am I just not fucking good enough for you Harry?” “No, you’re perfect. I don’t know why I did it. I wasn’t thinking. I love you, only you.” He said. “Please stay.” He pleaded. “Get away from me.” I said getting all of my sets of keys. “I never want to see you again and don’t think you’re ever seeing Brooklyn again. I hope you said goodbye to her because it’s the last time you’re going to see her.” I told him getting into my car. “Maddie, please, don’t do this.” He begged. I opened the window. “You ruined my life. Do you not think that maybe I just wanted to come over here to go to Uni? I never wanted to have a child when I was 21 and I never wanted to get married! I wanted to have fun and get a degree and go back to the States but you took that away from me. I see my family like two times a year now. You ruined my life. Leave me alone. I’ll get Louis to bring my other car to me just so I don’t have to see you.” I said before shutting the window and driving off. I drove back to Zayn and Perrie’s and went inside. They were playing with Brooke and I broke down in the hallway. Perrie stood up and ran to me. “What happened?” She asked. “I, I finished it with him Perrie, that’s it. We’re finished.” I told her. “Oh Maddie, what are you going to do?” She hugged me. “Move back into my apartment I guess.” I said. “No, you can’t do that. There’s no bed there, you can’t stay there.” She said. “I don’t care. I can’t keep staying here. Thank you but really,” I went upstairs and packed up my suitcase again. I put everything into the car and collected Brooklyn. “Thanks for letting me stay and looking after Brooke.” I said. I walked out and put Brooke into the car. I got in and drove off to the apartments. I pulled into the parking lot and searched for my key. I knew I had it somewhere. I found it in my bag and got Brooklyn out of the car and went up to my apartment. I unlocked the door and went inside. It was still exactly the same as I had left it. I put the key down on the kitchen side and left to go and get some stuff. Danielle came out of her apartment, El and Louis’ old one, just as I was about to go downstairs. “Oh my god. You broke up didn’t you?” She said. “Yeah… I trust you’ve heard.” “Louis told Liam. I’m so sorry.” “Don’t be. Can you look after Brooke whilst I move my stuff back in?” “Sure, but I swear there isn’t a bed in there.” “There isn’t, it’s fine, I’ll sleep on the floor.” I replied. “No, I’ll get Liam to move one of our spare beds in with Niall.” “Thanks,” I smiled. “No problem. I’m just sorry it came to this.” “Me too, but it was a long time coming, I mean, what was I thinking getting married at 22?” I said handing Brooke to her. “I don’t know. People do all sorts of crazy things when they’re in love.” She took Brooke and went inside to get Liam. He came out and hugged me and then went to get Niall. They moved a double bed into my apartment and I went to my car to start bringing my stuff up. I grabbed a few suitcases and Niall and Liam came down to help. “Thanks guys.” I said. “Anything for you, Harry is such an idiot, why did he have to treat our little sister like this?” Liam said. I laughed at him calling me his sister. “Who knows? Maybe he’ll be happy with her.” I replied. “Maybe.” Niall took a few bags out of the car. Liam took some stuff and we took all of it up. “Is this all of your stuff?” Liam asked. “Pretty much, there’s just my Porsche left at Harry’s now. And my Audi is at Zayn and Perrie’s.” I told them. “Oh okay.” We went back down and got the rest of my stuff. With 3 people it was unloaded way quicker than it was loaded. “Thank you for your help.” I hugged the boys. “No problem, do you want me to come with you to get a car?” Niall questioned. “Yeah, can you drive the BMW back and I’ll ask Louis to get the Audi? I don’t trust anyone with my Porsche.” I laughed. “Yeah sure.” He smiled and we went down to the car. We got in and drove to Louis’ and went inside. “Louis, can you do me a favour and drive a car to the apartments for me?” I asked. “What’s happened?” “I finished it and packed everything up. It’s just my cars that I need to sort out now. I’m moving back into my apartment.” I told him. “Oh okay, which one do you want me to drive?” “The Audi, Niall’s driving the BMW and I’m getting the Porsche.” I said. “Okay that’s fine. Where are the keys?” I handed them to him. “It’s at Zayn and Perrie’s. Thanks for this.” I said. “No problem, I wish we didn’t have to do this but my best mate is an idiot so we do.” He sighed. I left and he walked to Zayn and Perrie’s. I unlocked the garage door and got my Porsche out before locking the door again. The front door opened and Harry came out. “Maddie, please don’t leave.” “Go away, this is your fault. If you hadn’t have cheated on me I wouldn’t be leaving.” I told him walking over to him. “I think I forgot some stuff.” I said and chucked the keys to my BMW to Niall. He got in and drove off and I went inside. “Maddie, come on, I love you.” “If you loved me you wouldn’t have cheated.” I said. “You cheated on me, I forgave you.” “I didn’t even fucking kiss him! Let alone sleep with him. How am I ever supposed to be happy with you again after you slept with someone else?” “What about the baby?” He asked. “I’m getting rid. I don’t want it. I only agreed to have it because you wanted me to. Now you’re out of the picture, I’m having an abortion.” I said. He put his head in his hands as I grabbed the rest of my stuff and packed it into a box. “I screwed up big time this time.” He said. “Yeah, and you’re paying the price, don’t call or text me because I’m changing my number, stay away from me and Brooklyn.” I said shutting the box and picking it up. “I’ll fight you for custody of her.” He told me. I walked to my car and put the box in. “Good luck with that. Have fun. I’m the one who has raised her on my own for 10 months. I can just carry on, bye.” I got into my car and drove off. I drove to the shopping centre and went into the O2 shop to get my number changed and then went back to my apartment. “Where’ve you been?” Danielle asked when I got back. “I went to get my number changed, here.” I gave her a bit of paper with my new number on it. “Give it to the girls. I don’t want Harry getting it so don’t save my name as Maddie, save it as something else. All of you.” I told her. She nodded and put the number into her phone. “Hi Aimee.” She said. I laughed. “That’s good, thank you.” I said. “Here are your keys to your Audi. Niall is taking Louis back home.” She said and gave me the keys and Brooklyn. We talked for a while until I went back to my apartment. Back to being single it is… I unpacked some of my stuff and then put Brooke in the travel crib and going to bed. In one day, my life went from bad to terrible.
