Overworked

Maddie’s P.O.V
My alarm went off at 9am telling me that I need to go to the doctors in about 30 minutes. I got out of bed, had a shower and got dressed. I picked up my stuff and went down to my car. I drove to the doctors and had to wait a while to get to see him.
“Why’ve you come to see me today Maddie?”
“Urm, I need to get the pill so I don’t get pregnant.” I told him.
“Alright, we’ll just check you over and then I’ll write you out a prescription.” He replied. I was there for about 30 minutes when he gave me the prescription. “There’s a chemist next door and that’s where you need to get this from. Everything else is just fine. The only thing I’m worried about is your weight, you have enough energy it’s just the weight. You’re underweight and I don’t think you’ve eaten properly for a while. Sort that out please.” He said. I agreed with him and went next door to get the tablets. I gave the chemist the prescription and she looked at me probably thinking I was going to sleep around. She went and got the tablets.
“They won’t start working until around Sunday but you need to take one every day and don’t miss any. They don’t protect against STI’s though.”
“Just as well the person I’m sleeping with doesn’t have an STI then. I’m not a slut.” I said and took the tablets and put them in my bag. I drove to the office and got a bottle of water out of the cafeteria to take it with. I went into my office, took the tablet and looked at my phone.

Did you get them yet babe?x
To: My Dirty Little Secret
Yeah, just took one. The chemist was a complete bitch though x
I sent it and there was a knock at the door. I went over to it and opened it.
“I thought you might want to know that Isabelle and Emily haven’t been in today and you were 3 hours late.” Jules said.
“I had a doctor’s appointment and Isabelle and Emily are doing something out of office for me.” I wiped the smug look off of her face. She just sighed and walked back to the front desk. I shut the door and sat down at my desk.

Okay, as long as she didn’t hurt you x Are Isabelle and Emily back yet?x
To: My Dirty Little Secret
Nope, they’re probably doing their own shopping but they’ve worked hard for me so I don’t care x
Just as I sent it I got another text.
From: Isabelle
Come outside unless you want us walking through the office with Victoria’s Secret bags, Harry is gonna love us x
I laughed and went outside with my bag so it didn’t look suspicious. They were standing by my car with 4 bags. I unlocked the car and opened the trunk. I looked in the bags and the lingerie was really sexy. “I don’t think I can pull this off!” I laughed and put it into my car.
“We think you can, your body is perfect. Try not to give Harry a heart attack though.” Emily laughed.
“Apparently I’m too skinny, according to my doctor but oh well. Everything’s going well. I got the pills and you’ve done this. Thanks girls. Did you get anything for yourself?” I shut the trunk.
“Yeah, we did our own shopping at the same time, sorry, but we got one more thing for you, well for Harry but still.” Emily handed me another bag. I looked in it and it was my swimwear calendar.
“Thanks. I’m sure he’ll appreciate that. And I don’t mind that you did your own shopping, you work hard enough for me.” I said and put the calendar in my car as well. “Jules told me that I was 3 hours late today and that you two hadn’t come in.” I laughed.
“Well she’s a bitch, what does it matter?” Emily said and we went inside.
“How much do I owe you by the way?” I asked.
“Nothing. It’s a present for your dirty little secret.” Isabelle smirked.
“Thanks but I’ll give you both a bonus this month.” I said. They agreed and we went into our offices.
“Vocal rest now Maddie.” Isabelle sat down at her temporary desk in my office. I pretended to zip my lips and sat doing my work. I checked my phone and had a message from Harry.
From: My Dirty Little Secret
Surely they’re back by now. Is it sexy?x
To: My Dirty Little Secret
Very. I’ll give you a catwalk of it all sometime ;) x
“Harry checking that we’ve done our job properly?” Isabelle asked and I nodded. “You’ve got to drink another one of those milkshakes today so try not to spit it out all over your car.” She said. That was the reason that I only brought my Mercedes today. I nodded and did the rest of my work and then I had to leave. Harry called on the way there again. “Maddie’s voice speaking, how can I help you?” Isabelle laughed and put it on speaker.
“Is she on vocal rest again?”
“Yep, and she has another milkshake so I’m gonna be careful with what I say today.”
“Did you get the underwear?”
“Harry, it’s called lingerie.” She corrected him and I laughed slightly and drank some of my milkshake.
“Whatever, did you get it?” He asked again.
“Yeah we did. We reckon you’re gonna have a heart attack when you see it. Maddie doesn’t think she has the body to pull it off though. Please correct your girlfriend.” Isabelle said.
“Babe, your body is amazing. You have curves in all the right places, it will be fine. You look hot in anything. You could make a bin liner look sexy.” Harry told me. I shrugged and Isabelle told him. “I’ll prove it when the pills kick in. Anyway, good luck tonight and I’ll speak to you tomorrow, love you,” He said.
“She loves you too, and she’s looking forward to you proving it. Bye Harry.” Isabelle said.
“Bye.” Harry replied and hung up.
“He’s sweet. You’re really lucky to have him.” Isabelle told me. I nodded. I know I am. “Right, get ready and then you’ve got sound check. Then your concert and you can go home, try on your new lingerie and take pictures to send to your dirty little secret.” She laughed. I shook my head. I will not be taking any pictures. He gets to see it in person and that’s it. We got to the arena and went backstage. I got ready quickly and had ages until sound check so I went to sign things with fans with Isabelle. “Maddie is on vocal rest at the moment so she can’t talk but I can read her rubbish attempts at sign language.” Isabelle told them and I signed things and took pictures.
“Are any of your children coming to watch you?” One young girl asked. I shook my head. “Why not?” She questioned.
“Maddie doesn’t want them here because she swears a lot in her songs and she doesn’t want her children hearing her swear.” Isabelle explained.
“Have they watched you before?” She asked and I nodded.
“They came to her last lot of concerts with their dad. It’s different for them all now that she split up with Harry.” Isabelle answered fully.
“I love your bracelets,” One girl said and I looked down at my infinity, One Direction and heart cord bracelets. I smiled at her.
“Why did you split up with Harry? He’s really fit.” A girl in her twenties asked. I laughed and looked to Isabelle to explain.
“They split up because they were arguing a lot. They hadn’t talked properly in about a month so Maddie moved out.”
“Do you still see your kids then?” The girl continued. I nodded.
“Maddie and Harry work out a schedule together of who has the kids when, she’s got them on Sunday and the last time you had them was what? Saturday?” She looked at me and I nodded. “Maddie’s been busy so she hasn’t had time to look after them. She’s had concert rehearsals all week and works as a fashion designer during the day so she doesn’t get much down time but you wouldn’t have it any other way would you Maddie?” She asked me. I shook my head and signed the last few things. “Maddie has got sound check now but enjoy the opening act and the concert.” Isabelle said and I waved.
“I wonder how much time Isabelle spends with her to know all this.” I heard someone say. A lot of time. We basically live together, she goes everywhere with me. We got back backstage and I did my sound check and then waited for a while to perform. I’ve got a man lift today but there’s a microphone stand nailed down on it that I can hold onto.
“Ready?” Steve asked. I gave him the thumbs up and he signalled to the band to start playing. I started singing and the man lift went up.
…
I had to jump down onto an air mat at the end of the concert. I kicked my shoes off and down there first. “Bye, I love you all.” I said and jumped down myself. I collected my shoes and put them back on and went to get my stuff. On the way out I signed some stuff and could actually talk.
“Is anyone you know coming to watch you?” A guy asked as I signed his swimwear calendar. Typical boys.
“I think my best friend Annabel is coming tomorrow but I’m not sure.”
“Is that the one that used to have red hair, married to Niall?” A girl asked.
“Yeah her. She was my friend long before she became Niall’s wife.”
“I know everything about you.” One fan said and I questioned them. They got all the answers right and I was impressed. “I’m literally obsessed with you.” They told me. I smiled and went to my car.
“That was a hardcore fan.” Isabelle laughed.
“Yep. Harry honestly doesn’t know all of that.” I said.
“A fan knows you better than your dirty little secret.” She said and I started to drive back to the office.
“Yep but they don’t know everything about me. If anyone that’s you.” I told her.
“Haha, I do know quite a lot about you but I still don’t get why people call you Mads. That’s the one thing that gets me.”
“My cousin started it.” I said.
“Is that the explanation?”
“Yeah, there’s not a story behind it or anything.”
“Oh right, no hooking up with Harry tomorrow. You have a signing at 3pm so be at the arena by 1, vocal rest until then, and then your concert is at 5.” She briefed me as I pulled up in the office car park.
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” I said and she got out and went to her car. I drove home and fell asleep on the sofa.

I woke up and the first thing I did was take my tablet. I ate some breakfast and then decided to go for a run. I grabbed my phone and keys and went out for a run. I met some fans and signed some merch as well as followed people on Twitter and then ran back home. I had a shower and got changed and then had to go to the arena. I got there at dead on 1 o’clock. I went inside and had to get ready and then had sound check before my signing. I went out to some screaming fans and sat down and started signing. A few minutes later there were a few arguments in the line.
“You can’t just push in!”
“Don’t you know who I am?” I heard Brooklyn’s voice. I turned to Isabelle.
“Get Brooklyn out of the line. She’s pushing in.” She nodded and went over to the line. I saw Harry and smiled at him and then kept signing. A few minutes later Isabelle came back with Brooklyn and Adam in tow. I stood up and hugged them both. “Hey guys, you alright?” I asked. They both nodded. “Don’t push in the line okay. Stay here or go to your dad.” I said and sat back down. I signed at speed for a few minutes and then the line died down. Harry came over.
“I said for them to wait in line and surprise you but they decided to push instead.”
“It’s fine. I got them out before they did anything stupid. Are you staying to watch?” I asked Harry.
“No. I just brought them to see you because they were bugging me. I saw you had a signing and thought it would be a nice surprise.” He said.
“Okay.” I smiled and signed the last few things and then Belle walked in carrying Lis and pushing the twins in their stroller.
“It’s not fair on them. They’ve missed her too.” Belle said. I stood up and went over to Lis.
“Hey baby, give mummy a hug,” I held out my arms. She climbed from Belle to me and hugged me tightly. “I’ve missed you soooo much.” I squeezed her and she giggled.
“I love you Mummy.” She whispered in my ear.
“I love you too princess. I’ve been really busy this week so I haven’t be able to come round but I’ll make sure I come round more next week. I’m going to take you all back with me to my apartment tomorrow and we can spend the day together and then you go back to Daddy for school on Monday.”
“Okay.” She agreed and I put her down.
“Maddie, you need to get ready!” Emily called me.
“I’ve got to go babies. I’ll see you tomorrow.” I hugged them all and then went into the dressing room.
“Vocal rest until your concert now please,” Isabelle said and I changed into my concert outfit.
“So, your dirty little secret decided to come and see you. Have you taken your pill today?” Isabelle asked. I laughed, nodded and Emily started on my makeup. “Right, you can talk now.”
“Thank god. I hate vocal rest.”
“Well it does wonders to your voice and you might need to go on it after a day with your d-boyfriend.” Isabelle changed what she was going to say when Steve walked in.
“Still with the boyfriend?” He questioned.
“Yeah. I’m not gonna break up with him. He’s nice.”
“Harry is nicer, and your husband.”
“Yeah yeah, I’m not getting a divorce any time soon but he’s fine with me having a boyfriend. He’s got a girlfriend.”
“Jeez you two. You’ve been married for 12 years and then you break up and both get other partners? Anyway, you’re on in ten.” He said and left the room.
“Nice save.” Emily laughed.
“Oh who cares. As long as Louis doesn’t find out it will be fine. I’m gonna go and talk to Belle.”
“Don’t talk too much!” Isabelle called after me when I left the room. I pretended to salute and went over to Belle.
“Hey, I can’t wait to watch.”
“I’m excited for you to watch.” I laughed.
“What’s going on with you and Harry? That guy said you’ve got a boyfriend.” She pointed at Steve.
“Yeah I have. Harry knows though and is fine with it. He’s got a girlfriend.”
“Oh right, so you’re both enjoying your freedom then?”
“Yeah we are.” I confirmed.
“Alright, are the kids gonna meet your partners?”
“Nope, that will just scare them away. We have 5 children; no one wants to take on that commitment.”
“Okay.”
“Maddie you’re on in 2. Get over here.” Steve pointed towards the screen. It showed a vague shadow of me but not the actual thing. I went and stood behind it and they turned on the screen and the crowd screamed. I played with my hair a bit and Emily shouted at me to leave it alone. I laughed and the screen started going up making the fans scream louder. Steve handed me a microphone and the band started playing. I started singing and the screen lifted up fully. I walked out onto the stage and sang with everything I’ve got. The concert flew by and I ran off stage at the end.
“God. You’re amazing live.” Belle told me. I laughed and Isabelle came over.
“That’s what vocal rest does to you.” She said. “Emily gave me a lift here so can you take me home?” Isabelle asked.
“Yeah sure, Belle?”
“Ni is gonna pick me up.” She replied and Niall walked in with Drew.
“Hey, good concert?” He hugged Belle.
“She’s amazing. Did you know she’s got a boyfriend?” Belle asked Niall. “Shit.” I mouthed to Isabelle. She smiled awkwardly and walked into the dressing room.
“You’ve got a boyfriend already?” Niall questioned.
“Yeah but Harry knows and is fine with it.” I said.
“Alright okay. I’ll see you soon.”
“Don’t tell Louis though please because I’ll get a lecture.” I said.
“Don’t worry I know. Have fun, bye!” Niall said and left with Belle and Drew. I went into the dressing room and got my stuff.
“Sorted?”
“Yeah, he’s not gonna tell Louis so it will be fine.”
“Alright, let’s go. Dirty little secret isn’t going to call on the way back is he?”
“I don’t think so. The kids will still be up so if he does it will just be so I can talk to them.”
“Oh right.” She said and we left. “Did you try on your lingerie?”
“Nah, it’s still in the trunk.” I told her.
“Didn’t he ask for pictures?”
“I don’t know. I haven’t looked at my phone since this morning.”
“Give it here then.” She held out her hand and I found my phone and gave it to her. “He texted saying: Can’t wait to see your body in that lingerie, it will be soooo hot. Kiss.” She laughed.
“Did he really?”
“Yeah, look,” she showed me the text. I laughed and she replied. “I said: I can’t wait for you to see me in it. It’s pretty sexy stuff.” She told me and I laughed again.
“I still don’t think I can pull it off.”
“Bet you can. The one piece thing pushes your boobs up and makes you look so much fitter. He’s not gonna want to take it off of you.” She said.
“Oh great. So he’s just gonna sit and stare at me then?”
“Probably haha, what are you doing about the kids tomorrow?”
“I don’t even know. I might be picking them up, he might be bringing them. I have no idea.”
“Should I call dirty little secret then?”
“Probably,” I turned down a road.
“Hi,” Harry answered.
“No babe?” Isabelle mocked him.
“Nope,”
“I take it the kids are still up then?” I asked.
“Yeah,”
“Are you bringing them or am I getting them tomorrow?”
“I’ll bring them.”
“Okay. Don’t use your key though.” I told him.
“He has a key?” Isabelle questioned.
“Yeah, he needs to be able to let himself in.” I laughed.
“Oh god. Be quiet.” She put her head in her hands.
“Is that it?” Harry asked.
“I think so. What time are you gonna bring them?”
“Urm, about 10, is that okay?”
“Yeah, see you then.”
“Bye.” He hung up.
“God! You two are boring when the kids are around.”
“Precisely why we don’t live together anymore,”
“Right, it’s this one.” She pointed at a road.
“I know love,” I pressed my indicator. I drove down the road and stopped in front of her house.
“Thanks. Don’t forget to take your lingerie in this time.”
“Not until after the kids leave tomorrow.”
“And don’t forget to take your pill tomorrow. See you on Monday.” She got out of the car.
“Bye!” I said and she handed me my phone. “Thanks.” I smiled. She waved and I drove off. It took me a while to get back home and as I pulled into the parking lot my phone went off.

Sorry about earlier, the kids were sitting next to me. Ily baby x
I smiled and got out of my car. I took my stuff out and then went upstairs to my apartment. I got ready for bed and got in. This concert thing is so tiring.

I woke up at 9am and went into the kitchen. I looked in the fridge and realised I still haven’t gone out to buy any food so the kids won’t have anything to eat. I got dressed, got into my Mercedes and went to Walmart. I was in the middle of shopping when I got a text.

Where are you? We’re at your apartment but you’re not here x
Shit.

Notes

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, I was at a One Direction concert. It was the first time I've seen them. Omg they were so good and there were so many people there. They sold out Wembley Stadium and there was 90 thousand people there. If you've seen the pictures, you'll know how packed the stadium was, it was the best concert ever and I discovered I can't scream no matter how much I want to.

Please give me feedback on this story because I really want to know if you are liking it or not.
