Overworked

Maddie’s P.O.V
“Well, I guess this is the end of the best concert in history, but this is what I get for working on their last night here in Australia. They’re all leaving me.” I said and pouted.
“Apart from me!” Harry shouted.
“Of course, but anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, I did. By far the best concert I’ve ever done and I’ve done some pretty epic concerts. Thank you all for coming to watch all 14 of us go mad on stage, I love you all! Even all you guys,” I looked around at everyone on the stage and then called them in for a group hug. The trap doors in the stage opened and the girls were the first to leave. Then 5sos and then the lads. “Thank you again! Now you can go home, tweet, and rub it in to your friends that you saw the 14 most amazing people all on one stage! Stay beautiful Fashionistas!” I shouted and jumped down myself. I stood listening to the screams for a second and then took my in-ears out and my microphone off. “Best. Concert. Ever.” I went over to everyone and handed Steve my stuff. “Thanks everyone!” I shouted.
“You look gorgeous Maddie.” Eleanor hugged me.
“I looked even better before I got a bottle of water poured over me.” I looked at Niall and he laughed.
“You do it to Harry; we do it to you,”
“So you’re all gonna handcuff me to the bed now?” I questioned and everyone laughed.
“We’ll leave that to Harry.” Gemma said.
“I’m gonna miss you guys so much! Don’t leave me!” I hugged them all in turn.
“Sorry babe, we’ve gotta get back to the UK,” Louis said. I sighed.
“And I’ve gotta go back to go to court.” Niall groaned.
“Good luck Irish, I’m just a phone call away if you need any evidence on how much of a bitch and gold digger Belle is.” I hugged him again.
“Let’s just face it, she’s gonna leave and take Drew with her, along with half of my money. Basically, she’s gonna ruin my life, and I hate to break it to you guys, but no matter how this trial ends, I’m going back to Ireland, with or without Drew.” He announced. And there goes our only friend left in California. Luke, Michael and Calum all live here in Australia still but they live on the opposite side of Australia to where I’m going next.
“At this rate, I’ll move back to the UK. I won’t be able to stay in California without all of you.” I said and Harry looked at me.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I can’t stand it with just Niall because I miss all of you already but if Niall left I think I’d go mental. But it all depends on what happens when we get back to LA. Something could come up meaning we can’t go, you never know.” I said and went into my dressing room. I got my stuff and the clothes I was wearing before the concert and shoved them into my bag. I can’t be bothered to change. Anne and Robin are still here for another week and then they go back and we’re on our own out here. Everyone else leaves tomorrow evening so we still have tomorrow together, and I made sure that I had the day off. We went outside and the guys all went to various vans while I signed stuff. Harry took my bag to the van and I talked to my fans.
“Did you know that was going to happen?” One girl asked.
“I had no idea, like I said, I was having Haribos thrown at me and then realised it was the guys that were throwing them but I didn’t know they were gonna be on stage with me, it was pretty cool though right?”
“So cool, I never thought I’d see One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer and Maddie Styles on the same stage, not to mention Gemma Irwin, Eleanor Tomlinson, Danielle Payne and Perrie Malik too. This was the best night ever.”
“Well I’m glad you feel like that love,” I hugged her and she laughed.
“What?”
“You’re so English.” She said and I realised I’d said love.
“It’s a habit, you get used to it when you’re around them all the time.” I laughed and moved on. I spent about 10 minutes signing and talking and then went to the van. I got in and got my phone out.
“@MAStyles: Just did the best concert of my life, joined by 1D, 5SOS, Eleanor, Danielle, Perrie and Gemma. So fun.”
“You honestly love your fans don’t you?” Harry put his arm around me.
“Of course I do, they got me here.” I replied and he smiled and kissed the top of my head. We drove back to the hotel and as we went in the kids ran to Harry and I. “What are you guys doing up?” I asked picking up Freya.
“They wanted to see Mummy and Daddy because they hadn’t said goodnight to you, so I let them stay up,” Anne said coming over and kissing Harry on the cheek.
“Oh okay, that’s fine, we’ll take them back with us, thank you Anne.” I kissed her cheek and we all went up to Harry and I’s suite bar Calum and Michael. I opened the door and put Freya down. She ran into the kitchen and reached for the chocolate that was on the side. Niall went over to get it for her before Harry stopped him.
“Don’t. She’ll be hyper and we won’t be able to get her to sleep.” Harry said. Niall nodded and picked Freya up.
“Daddy said you’re not allowed it but Uncle Niall was going to be kind and let you have it but Daddy’s the boss.” Niall pouted talking to her. She reached for his hair and grabbed a bit of it pulling gently. Niall laughed and put her down on the counter.
“Milk, me want milk,” she said. I went into the kitchen and got two sippy cups out (the ones with handles on each side) and filled them with milk.
“You know how to operate a microwave right?” I said to Niall and he laughed and put them in. He is a dad so I’m just going to trust that he knows how to do this. “Amelia, go and see Uncle Niall,” I told her and she ran into the kitchen. “Time for bed Lis and you two,” I looked at Brooklyn and Adam. They nodded and went to get ready for bed. “Don’t forget to clean your teeth!” I called after them. Then I sat down on the sofa, exhausted.
“Tired love?” Liam asked and I nodded.
“It’s been a long day,” I said and Harry hugged me. The microwave beeped and Niall gave the twins their milk which they happily drank and then Harry got them ready for bed. They wouldn’t go to sleep so we spent ages just putting them back into their beds. “Aren’t you glad you don’t have little kids now?” I looked at them all after the 5th time of trying to put Amelia to bed.
“Kind of, we never went through this with any of our kids though,” Zayn said. So basically I’m just a shit mum. I don’t know what to do? What do you do when they’re so hyper that they won’t even stay in their beds? When they ran out for the sixth time Harry and I groaned and went to them to be stopped by Eleanor.
“Stop paying attention to them and they’ll go to sleep. I promise. Just put them in their room, shut the door and chill. They’ll soon realise that you’re not going to put them back to bed again and will just go to sleep.” She said and we did as she said, putting them in their room and shutting the door. After about 10 minutes of talking about rubbish Harry spoke up.
“Niall, how much was yours and Belle’s joint accounts bill per month?” He asked.
“Urm, I think it was like 25,000 or something, why?” Niall replied.
“He’s checking to make sure I don’t spend the most.” I explained.
“Why, how much is yours?”
“Hers is 10,000. They don’t have a joint account remember, well they do but Maddie won’t use it.” Perrie said.
“Why should I when I earn my own money? I don’t need Harry’s so why should I spend it?” I argued my point, again.
“Because it’s what couples do.” Ashton said.
“I’m going to be totally honest with you, if I used our joint account, I would go totally overboard. I go overboard using my own account but at least I know it’s all my money. I’d feel so guilty if I just threw Harry’s money away on some shoes or a handbag, why should I spend the money that he’s worked for? It just doesn’t make sense. I don’t want to spend his money so why should I?” I admitted. Then the monsters appeared again, I have no idea how they got the door open but they did.
“Mommy,” Freya came over to me.
“What baby?” I asked, sighing.
“I want stay with you.” She said.
“You need to sleep gorgeous,” I smoothed out her hair.
“But I not tired.” She shook her head.
“But I am. So please, please go to sleep.” I said and she shook her head again. Then Brooklyn walked out of her room and went to the kitchen to get water.
“What are they doing up? That’s hardly fair that the 13 year old has to go to bed but the 1 year olds don’t.” She said when she came back.
“Would you like to try and put them to bed?” I questioned.
“Isn’t that your job?” She answered.
“Yes Brooklyn! Everything’s my fucking job!” I shouted and got up going into the bedroom. A few minutes later the door opened. “Go away Harry.”
“My name’s Luke actually.” Luke said and I sat up. “Are you alright?”
“I’m just stressed. I didn’t mean to shout at Brooklyn, let alone swear at her.” I sighed and he hugged me.
“We know you didn’t. This can all get really stressful I know and it can’t help having five children too. Especially when two of them are pains in the ass,” He laughed talking about Freya and Amelia.
“Yeah well that’s all my fault, I’m such a shit mum. I shouldn’t be able to have kids.” I spoke into his chest.
“Babe, you’re the best mum out of any of them. You have 5; the most they have is 2. It’s got to be hard with you singing and then your business let alone the problems you and Harry have at the moment. It’s gotta be tough,” He said.
“I’m not the best mum though and I’m never going to be. None of them have ever had this problem so what’s wrong with me?” I asked.
“Nothing. You’re perfect. Vicki is literally so jealous of you, she wants to be you. She has posters of you all over her house. You’re her motivation.” He told me and I smiled knowing at least one person looks up to me.
“I’m a screw up. I had my first child when I was barely 22. She was a mistake, she wasn’t meant to happen. I nearly lost my boyfriend because of it. Then when I’d had her, a few months later, I got pregnant again, also a mistake. So basically, I was too young, I know nothing, and I’ve raised my children so badly.” I sighed.
“You’re not a screw up.” He said and Harry came in.
“You made Brooklyn cry you know, I don’t know why you’re being sympathetic to her Luke. She just shouted and swore at her daughter not only making her cry, but making everyone else think she’s a complete bitch.” He told me. I pulled away from Luke, picked up my bag and walked out. I don’t know where I’m going but I’m getting as far away from him as possible. Dickhead. I went to the other side of the hotel and knocked on Isabelle’s door. They’re allowed to stay in this hotel because there isn’t another one nearby. She opened it looking as if she’d just been asleep and then quickly hugged me as I started to cry.
“What’s wrong?” She brought me into her room and shut the door. I just shook my head and slid down the door. “You can stay here tonight, its fine, come on, get into bed,” she said and I took of my shoes and got into her bed. She got in next to me and we went to sleep. Well she did, I just stayed awake crying.
