Overworked

Harry’s P.O.V
After putting all of the children to bed and getting their uniforms ready for tomorrow, I sat on the couch and searched for a DVD to watch. I decided on Maddie’s tour documentary. I know that seems sad but you’d be surprised at how many times I’ve watched it over the last 7 months. I put it into the TV and sat back down on the couch. The titles came on and it started with a segment from her concert like This Is Us did. Then it went to her speaking. “Yeah I guess this is a hard job, but you get used to it after a while. You get used to not being able to go anywhere without getting recognised, you get used to being away from home a lot, it’s just the way things happen. I’m just a 24 year old from Los Angeles and I happen to be performing to crowds of over 50,000 people every night.” She spoke.
“You have a little girl and a little boy, how do you cope being away from them a lot?”
“You cherish the time you have with them. Obviously this tour is the longest one that I’ve done and I miss them a lot but it’s okay because I know they’re being well looked after.” She replied and it skipped to some footage of her mucking around with her band. She always has been good friends with the guys in her band, Alfie, the drummer, Max, the guitarist, Lucas, the bassist and Dylan, the guy on keys. They were all chasing her while she ran around backstage. I laughed as she screamed when Max caught her and picked her up. “Put me down Max!” She screamed, laughing. He tickled her and put her down so she ran off again into Steve, her manager or dad on the road.
“Come on, you need to stop messing around now, go and see Emily, she wants to do your hair.” Steve pushed Maddie towards the dressing room. She went in followed by her band. It went to another bit of a concert and then her on the tour bus. She saw the camera and jumped.
“Come on! I’ll show you around!” She got up from the table and walked to the kitchen bit. “This is where we make all the food that we eat, or everyone else eats because I never get told about it until it’s all gone.” She pouted. “This is John, my security guard and Steve, my manager,” She pointed at John and Steve sitting at the table. Then she moved into the lounge where Isabelle was on her phone. “Whatcha doing?” Maddie sat down next to her.
“I swear to god Maddie, if you’re filming this,” Isabelle looked up at the camera. “I hate you sometimes.” Isabelle pushed Maddie off of the chair and onto the floor. She got up and brushed herself off.
“Someone’s grumpy,” Mads whispered and walked to the bunks. “This is my bunk,” She put her hand on the one that was made. She had to be neat didn’t she?
“She’s the neat freak!” Isabelle shouted from the lounge.
“This is a picture of my son and daughter,” She smiled pointing at the picture of Brooklyn and Adam she had stuck on the wall of the bus. “This is Isabelle’s bed, and she never makes it.” Maddie touched Iz’s bunk and then showed the bands bunks and Emily’s. “This bus stinks because none of the guys bother to wash. It’s gross.” Maddie stuck her tongue out and went to the back lounge. “And this is the back lounge, where everyone shoves their clothes, these are mine,” She went over to a rack of neatly hung clothes. “And this concludes our tour!” She shouted and her band ran in and jumped on her. She laughed and the camera man did too before John got involved.
“Guys, stop jumping on her!” John laughed hauling Maddie out of their pile up. Then it went to more footage of her concerts. I watched more of her mucking around with her crew and then a plane came onto the screen. This is the bit that always gets me.
“I’m going home! I get to see my mummy and daddy!” Maddie jumped as they walked out of the airport. They showed more of her in the car being all excited and then it got to them pulling up outside her mum’s house. She walked up the path and unlocked the door and as soon as she got in Faye ran to her.
“You’re back!” Faye shouted.
“Really? I hadn’t noticed.” Maddie sassed her little sister. Then she turned around and I came out of the kitchen. She had no idea I was going to be there but I flew to LA with the kids just to surprise her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she jumped a bit and then turned around. “Harry!” She squealed.
“Hey gorgeous, miss me?” I replied. I watched the rest of the film and then went up to bed. I love that film. She called it, ‘I’m a California Girl’. I love it.
Maddie’s P.O.V
I woke up and got dressed into a blue tank top and some jeans. After I had done my hair and make-up, I went downstairs where Mum was talking to Dad.
“You look nice honey,” she smiled at me, I just smiled back awkwardly, I still haven’t forgiven her for reading my diary.
“Are you going to see Harry?” Dad asked.
“After breakfast yeah,” I replied. I had some fruit for breakfast and went to Harry’s. I got there and his car wasn’t outside so I sat and waited. He’s probably not back from the school run yet. About 10 minutes later, he pulled up so I jumped out of my car.
“Hey gorgeous,” he came over and hugged me.
“Hiya, where are the twins?”
“At nursery, they go on Mondays and Fridays.” He told me. I nodded and we went inside. The first thing I noticed was the ‘I’m a California Girl’ box on the table. I picked it up and laughed.
“You watched this?” I questioned.
“Yeah, it’s a good film. You should make another one.” He said as we sat down.
“What’s your favourite bit?”
“Either the tour around your bus because you and Isabelle have a mini fight or the bit where I surprise you,” he grinned.
“I remember that! Isabelle was texting Thomas and I sat next to her and she threatened me if I was filming, and I was, then she called me a neat freak.” I reminisced.
“Face it love, you are a neat freak.” Harry laughed. I guess I am. We sat and talked for a bit about the film and then moved onto my career. “Are you gonna do another album for SYCO?” Harry asked.
“Yeah, I’m gonna do one last one and then tour it and I’m done. No more singing.”
“Did Simon tell you about us?”
“About you splitting up? Yeah, I think you should. I mean, you’ve had your day really haven’t you?” I teased.
“I could say the same thing about you darling,” he smirked. I clutched my heart and pretended to be hurt. Harry kissed me quickly and I smiled.
“Much better,” I giggled. “I really like what you did with the twins’ rooms by the way.” I told him.
“Thanks, Perrie and Gemma helped.” He answered and I gasped. “What?”
“I need to go and see everyone!” I stood up.
“I’ll come with you,” He got up too and put his shoes on. I petted Charlie and we left the house with Harry locking the door behind him and walked out of the gate holding hands.
“Is my car still at the airport?” I asked.
“No silly, it’s in the garage.” Harry laughed. We walked to Zayn and Perrie’s and I knocked on the door. Perrie opened it with George running around behind her. He looked up to see who it was and smiled at us.
“Hey, I heard you were back in town Little Miss Runaway,” Perrie joked and hugged me.
“Sorry I didn’t come round sooner, I only got back a couple of days ago and I’ve just been spending time with the kids and my parents.” I explained.
“Don’t worry, I don’t mind. How’ve you been? I must say you’re rocking the new look.” Perrie laughed.
“You know how I’ve been. You found my fake Twitter, PerrieLMalikLM.” I said knowing that she followed me.
“Damn. I knew I shouldn’t have followed you.” She said. I laughed and we stayed there for a while and then went to Danielle and Liam’s, followed by Niall and Belle’s, Belle was at work though and lastly we went to Eleanor and Louis’. By the time we had finished, Harry had to go and get the twins so I left him to it. He said I could spend the night but I didn’t want to go too far too soon. After all, I have only been back a few days.

Notes

I thought I'd add in a little film extract which I loved writing. Next chapter is 1D officially splitting up :(

I wrote the epilogue to this story today and now I want to write another book detailing Maddie and Harry's relationship. I'm really not sure whether it would get a very good reaction so I don't think I will but I just love writing about the characters I have created. I can't thank all of you enough for supporting me throughout both University of London and Overworked, I love you all so much.
