Wrong Number (Larry Stylinson)

thirty eight

---Maddie's POV---

The next day in class, I sat in the lecture hall with a bunch of other students, but I was only focused on drawing. Instead of listening to Liam's lecture, I stared at a sheet of paper the whole time, filling it up with planets and stars and plants and anything else I could think of.

"Madison, I need to speak with you before you leave."

My head snapped up and I rolled my eyes. We go home together.

But the other students don't know that.

I kept my head down, completely ignoring the information that I needed to learn because my mind was occupied with thoughts from the day before.

Did he really think of me as a whore? Am I asking for too much attention from people who aren't even my boyfriend?

When the lecture was over and everyone else went home for the day, I remained in my seat, still doodling, but this time drawing some of Liam's tattoos.

I heard him walk over to me and lean over on the desk. "Hey, baby girl." I ignored him and kept drawing, tears clouding my vision. "Maddie, I think we need to talk about what happened yesterday afternoon." I stopped drawing, but a tear fell down my cheek and onto the paper. "Hey. Look at me when I'm talking to you."

I slammed my sketch book closed and sat back in my chair. "There isn't anything to talk about. You said what you wanted to say."

He threw his hands up in the air. "I didn't even say it!"

"You were thinking it though! What's wrong with what I post on social media?"

He sighed. "Look, Maddie. I just got really angry and jealous. I'm insecure and I think that if you see someone else that you like, then you might leave me. And I love you. I don't want that to happen. And I don't like the thought of total strangers staring at my girlfriend on the internet. I didn't mean anything by it. I wasn't even going to say it. I love you so much and I hate to see you cry."

I wiped my tears away. "Really, daddy?"

"Yes, baby. I want to make it up to you. I'll give you anything you want. Within reason."

I bit my lip thoughtfully. "Can I have a horse?"

"That sound reasonable to you?"

"Well, then...Can I show you something, daddy?"

"What do you have to show me, baby girl?" He lifted me up and placed me on the desk. I wrapped my legs around him and he kissed all over my neck.

"Hmm, daddy..." He had his hand under my shirt and I had my hand in his hair. My phone rang and I sighed answering it.

"Hello?"

"Maddie, thank god!"

"Diana, what's wrong?"

She was breathing heavy and I could tell she had been running. "Merry...She...She fucking went into labor!"

I gasped and started to pack my things up. "Alright, are you getting her to the hospital? Where is Zayn?"

"He's here. We are almost at the hospital. Harry, Lou, and Niall are here, so that's good. But, I think you guys need to come along too. Fuck, Louis is in hysterics."

"Alright. we're on our way." I hung up and grabbed my things. "Daddy, we need to go. Merry went into labor and they're headed to the nearest hospital and Louis is crying, and omigod...we need to leave."

Liam nodded, going back to grab his things. "Why the hell is Louis crying? He's not even the one in pain."
