Overworked

Harry’s P.O.V
-1 Month Later-
1 month. 1 month is how long it’s been since Maddie left. I haven’t heard from her, she’s disappeared. She hasn’t called the kids once, she hasn’t been on Twitter. She hasn’t done anything. I keep thinking the worst. I keep thinking that she’s dead. I really hope I’m wrong and that she just ran off but it’s hard to believe that when there’s no evidence for it. Every time my phone rings, I hope it’s her. Every time I go on Twitter, I hope to see a tweet. I have no idea where she is. I turned on the TV and put it on E! News.
“Today is 1 month since Madeline Styles mysteriously disappeared. She hasn’t contacted any of her family and friends or even been spotted by any of the millions of fans she has around the globe. The fashion design business that she runs is going into administration and her singing career is over. No one knows what happened to this woman, the woman who rose to fame as a model, a pop star’s wife or even a singer. No one knows why she left, the only thing we know is that she ran out of her home crying and went to the airport. No one knows where she flew to or what she did when there; no one has even seen anyone at all like her. People in New York believe she’s there because there’s a girl who’s always wearing the clothes that Maddie has but this girl has red hair and blue eyes; she doesn’t share many facial features and could just be a very dedicated fan. Maddie was known to wear a lot of her own designed clothes so this may be someone who loves the clothes of Maddie Styles. Police have not been involved in the search for Maddie because no one knows where she is. Not one person. Maybe she moved away, changed her name and tried not to be seen again, but no one knows where the star that stole many hearts is. Not even her own husband or children. The hope is that she’ll return for her twin daughters, Amelia and Freya’s first birthday next month but not many people are holding their breath. Maddie is officially MIA.” I sighed and turned the TV off and Brooklyn came downstairs. She lay next to me and I hugged her.
“I still miss Mum. Why can’t she come back?” She asked.
“She doesn’t want to be found honey. She ran away and she doesn’t want to come back.” I told her.
“Why not? I texted her and called her and DM-ed her on Twitter and she hasn’t read or replied to any of them. I miss her. She can’t just leave.” Brooke muttered.
“But she can. Unless she comes back no one is going to find her.”
Maddie’s P.O.V
It’s been 1 month since I moved away and started my new life. Everything is different now. I live in Manhattan in a house not far from the centre. I haven’t spoken to anyone from my old life in a month, not even my parents. It’s hard, but I know that I have to move on now. I know that I’m neglecting 5 beautiful, beautiful children but I really can’t do anything about it. I’m still traumatised by what Harry did. I had an abusive boyfriend when I was younger, that’s why this is such a big deal to me. It brought back the most painful memories, I just couldn’t put up with it any longer, so I moved away. I’m debating moving again considering people are speculating that I am Maddie. It’s hard to just throw a life away, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the past month.
-1 month later-
Maddie’s P.O.V
I walked up the path with the presents and note in my hand. It’s my babies’ birthday and I’m not going to see them. I hate it but I wrote a note and I’m going to leave this on the doorstep.
Flashback
I sat down at the desk in my apartment and started writing.
“Brooklyn, Adam, Melissa, Amelia and Freya. I’m so sorry that I left you and haven’t come back. I wanted to write you this note to let you know that I’m okay. I’m perfectly fine and I’m sorry that I haven’t spoken to you. I love you all and I want you to know that. I will never ever forget you and one day, I will come back. I promise that I will never miss a birthday, even if I don’t see you, you should get a present and a card from me. You’re my children and I’ll never neglect that fact. I honestly do love you. I regret leaving, but I’m not coming back just yet. I will come back. I won’t miss a moment. Just know I’m there, in your hearts and I will never ever leave that. But now you have to let go and stop missing me. You are my world. Everything I have left but you have to let go. I love you guys so much. Happy Birthday Amelia and Freya have an amazing day and get spoilt! Again, I love you, Mum.”
I sealed the envelope and taped it to the present.
End of Flashback
I put the present on the doorstep, rang the doorbell and ran as fast as I could back to my car. I sat in it and watched as Harry picked up the present and looked around. He went inside with the present and shut the door and I drove off. I drove to get here so I can drive back. On my way back I got a notification on Twitter, it was just because I favourited someone, I have a fake account now; it’s not my @MAStyles one. I looked at it and saw Harry had tweeted.
“@Harry_Styles: Happy Birthday to my gorgeous daughters Amelia and Freya and thank you to @MAStyles for giving them a present and note explaining that she’s okay and that she still loves them, even if you did just leave it on the doorstep and run and before anyone says it wasn’t her, it was her handwriting, I’d know it anywhere. So she’s okay, she’s alive and in her words ‘perfectly fine’.”
Harry’s P.O.V
Just getting that present and note from Maddie has made all of our days. Even if she was too scared to face us and ran off before I opened the door, she got them a present and explained, that’s all we can ask for. I’m really happy that she did that. It has relieved everyone. We all thought she was dead and getting that shows that she isn’t. There isn’t one day where I don’t regret slapping her. If I hadn’t, she’d still be with us, maybe not me but the kids. I understand what she must be going through, alone but it’s the thought that counts.
Maddie’s P.O.V
I drove to the office block and saw administration posters everywhere. I knew it had gone into administration but I couldn’t help it. There was no way that I could keep working there after this. I pulled into the parking lot and went inside. I went up to Jules and she was still miserable.
“Can I speak to Maddie Styles please?” I asked in a high pitched voice.
“Haven’t you kept up with the news honey? She’s missing, no one knows where she is, one of the reasons that I’m losing my job in a few weeks. This place is shutting and it’s all her fault for running off and leaving Isabelle to run this place. Only Maddie was capable but she had to run off. Aren’t you the girl that everyone thinks is her?”
“No, I just have red hair and blue eyes, I’m not from New York, I’m from Florida.” I said. She nodded.
“Can I talk to Isabelle Marshall please?” I tried something else.
“Yeah, first office on the right,” She said. I know where it is. I walked in and Isabelle was packing her stuff up.
“That bad is it?” I asked in my normal voice. She looked up and her eyes widened.
“Maddie?” She questioned.
“Sarah,” I told her.
“It’s really you, you’re the reason I’m losing my job.”
“I think you’ll find you’re the one that couldn’t run the business.” I said and took my wig off. “I’m sorry I left. I’m not coming back and I’m not telling you where I’m living but I just wanted to say sorry. I would have come back and helped but I couldn’t. I left because Harry slapped me. He slapped me and scared me. I had to leave. I just left a present for Amelia and Freya on the doorstep with a note telling them I was okay. I’m so sorry about all of this.”
“Don’t worry about it. You might want to go and see Emily. She’s got a surprise.” Isabelle said and did up a box. I put my wig back on and went to Emily’s office. I walked in and instantly spotted the bump.
“You’re pregnant?” I asked and she looked up.
“You make me sick. You left us and now we’re being made redundant. Yes I am pregnant and have to look after 3 children and a baby with no money.” She said.
“Stay here, I’ll be back.” I said and ran out to my car. I drove to the nearest bank and withdrew a million dollars. I drove back quickly and went back inside with a bag containing the money. I counted out $500000 and put it into a different bag and then got Isabelle and Emily in the same room. “I left you with nothing, so now it’s time to repay you, you said you have no money but actually, you have a lot.” I said and handed them the bags. They looked inside and both gasped.
“Oh my god,” Emily said.
“That’s $500000, should keep you going for a while, and if you need anything else, ask, you’ll find me if you need to.” I said and left the room.
“Sarah!” Emily called me back and I turned around.
“Thank you. I’m sorry that I said you make me sick.”
“Don’t worry about it. I make a lot of people sick. My parents don’t even know where I am.” I said and left the office block. I got into my car and drove back to New York; this is going to be a long drive.
