Overworked

Maddie’s P.O.V
We got back to my apartment and sat down on the couch. I put my head on Jake’s chest and he kissed my cheek. “You’re beautiful Maddie,” he smiled at me.
“Thank you,” I smiled back. He’s embraced me with all of my problems and hasn’t tried to change me. That’s why our relationship works. We’ve been together for around 2 months now. I met him in Paris when I was released from hospital and he told me he was a fan and stuff and it just kind of went from there. He’s one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met and although he’ll never live up to Harry, I really like him. I wouldn’t say I love him just yet, but with time, then I know I will. I went into the nursery to put the twins to sleep and Jacob came in just after I had finished.
“I’m gonna get going, Josh’s babysitter isn’t going to want to hang around for much longer.” He said. I nodded and kissed him on the cheek.
“See you later.” I smiled and Jacob waved and left. I left the nursery and went into my lounge, plopping myself down on the couch. So much has happened today, Jacob met the kids, Harry called me psychotic, Lis turned six. This is too much for me to handle in one day. My phone buzzed and I saw it was a tweet from Harry.
“@Harry_Styles: You know you’ve fucked up when your 12 year old gives you a 20 minute lecture :/”
Well that’s awkward. Brooklyn wouldn’t have lectured Harry about anything but me and that makes me feel quite awkward. I tweeted with awkward with lots of d’s and ended up getting into a Twitter fight with Emma. When we’d finished, I was trying to hold the tears in and my phone rang. Harry.
“What do you want?” I snapped answering it.
“To apologise for Emma. She doesn’t know when to shut up.” He sighed. Oh so now he apologises for her too. She may as well tied some strings on him and make him a damn puppet. I was never like that was I? Focus Maddie, you need to reply.
“No she doesn’t.” I said, coldly. The fact that Emma has adapted the person I have been married to for 13 years into a puppet makes me feel sick. A small sob came out of my mouth and I quickly moved the phone away so Harry didn’t hear it. What Emma said on Twitter really got to me. It’s not Harry being a puppet; it’s just her in general. She’s a complete bitch and I hate her.
“And I’m sorry. I fucked up your life. I know it. But Maddie, I still love you.” He said and I rolled my eyes. If he thinks that I’m just going to come running back to him it’s not going to happen. He can be controlled like a puppet for all I care.
“Don’t. Like you said, I’m with Jake. Leave it alone Harry. Plus, I know what you said to Louis, El and Liam. If that’s love what the fuck is hate?” I said. The fact that he thinks I’m psychotic purely because I was or am in love and I don’t like to see him with another girl cuts deep. It makes me feel a pain that I don’t feel that much. I just wish Jacob hadn’t have left but I knew he had to get back to Josh. His son needs him more than I do.
“What did I say to Louis and El?” He questioned trying to seem clueless. Really, he doesn’t remember saying I should have been in a mental hospital?
“You said I should have been in a mental hospital. It hurts to hear that Harry. Honestly, I want to love you so much. But you just mess with my head and heart so I give up with you. I’m sorry. I’m busy. Got to go.” I ended the conversation. I heard his final line and hung up. I don’t know whether or not I’m doing the right thing pushing him away but I hope I am. I don’t want to have to put up with us constantly fighting again because every time, it kills another part of me and I’m not sure how much more I can take. I sat up for a while before seeing some tweets about Harry and Emma splitting up. I see he finally broke out of being a puppet. I tweeted a reply to Emma’s tweet calling me ‘princess prissy’ and then went to bed.
I woke up in the morning and got out of bed to get the twins ready. I got them dressed and gave them breakfast. Jacob is going to bring Josh round today. I went into my bedroom leaving the girls playing with their toys and had a shower and got dressed. When I left my bedroom again, I could hear Josh talking to the girls. Josh is 5 and he is one of the cutest children ever.
“Maddie!” He looked up, hearing my footsteps, and ran to me.
“Hey sweetie, you okay?” I ruffled his hair and he nodded. We decided to go out for the day to the zoo or something, just anything to get outside. It’s sunny today so we don’t want to be inside all day. I packed a bag for the twins and put them into their stroller. We left my apartment and went down to my car. I put the twins in and Jake sorted out Josh before we both got into the front.
“How are you after last night?” Jake asked.
“As good as someone being called psychotic can be.” I shrugged.
“Not that, Harry and Emma breaking up.”
“I don’t care.” I told him. There is a lot of truth behind my statement, but part of me does care. Part of me wants Harry back, and part of me wants to be happy without arguments and without stress. I’m stuck between the two parts, whether to go back to Harry, or stay with Jake. I don’t know. I really do not know. I’m stuck.

Notes

I know this is quite short compared to other chapters that I write but I broke this into two just to add a few things in. I don't have an outfit for the next day because I added it in. I'll update again in about 3/4 hours time with a chapter that I think will make a lot of you happy.

What do you think is going to happen?

I'm writing a new story now, it's a Niall one and won't be updated for a while because I've only written the first chapter but will any of you read it? Because I'd love it if you did :)
