    18 Real Talk Reactions To Zayn Malik's One Direction Hiatus

    We're all feeling a lot of feelings right now.

    1. TBH, Zayn, some of us thought it was pretty rude of you to just up and leave us without so much as a gentle kiss goodbye. You put us in a pretty tough position.

    2. Since you're "stressed," we'll try not to hold it against you.

    I'm still mad as hell at zayn and actually pretty disappointed he took a "break" but I'm just gonna 🔇

    3. But it's honestly pretty hard. Because you stole our hearts and then cut them clean in half.

    we are half a heart without you @zaynmalik 💔😭

    #HaveAGoodRestZayn my heart aches at the thought that at this time you might be sad 💔😭 i love you so much @zaynmalik

    4. None of this is easy. The pain in your wondrous eyes is our pain! We just want to see you happy!

    Mood rn cause Zayn malik 😩 I WANT TO DIE JESUS CHRIST IS LEAVING ONE DIRECTION😪… why did we have to ruin happy zayn

    5. Some of us tweeted bittersweet #TBTs, sighing as we recalled a simpler time.

    LOOK HOW HAPPY ZAYN WAS IN THE STARTING OF THE TOUR I MISS THIS ALREADY 😭 #HaveAGoodRestZayn

    6. Others were blinded by resentment and frantically searched for a scapegoat.

    7. Should we have seen this coming? Did we fail to interpret some prophetic clue?

    8. Even more of us refused to believe that any of this was even happening. The denial was real.

    9. So real, in fact, that some of us felt like we'd been clinging to some ideal that never actually existed.

    10. It's impossible to tell fact from fiction, which makes the situation all the more stressful.

    11. And, unfortunately, a few people can't handle the emotional roller coaster anymore.

    12. There has never been a love so deep or an anxiety so consuming.

    13. Despite our differences, I think we all can agree that One Direction is definitely not "One Direction" without Zayn.

    There's no One Direction without Zayn Malik. *cries*

    *me after concert* how's 1d concert? You mean, liam louis niall harry? Yah one direction No zayn malik so it is not onedirction bye

    14. The difference between four and five is as wide as the difference between a barbershop quartet and the Spice Girls, SO.

    ONE DIRECTION IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT ZAYN MALIK OR ANY OF THEM 4/5 IS NOT ONE DIRECTION

    15. Zayn, no matter what all the #haters out there are saying, you will always have steadfast defenders of your luscious man bun and chiseled jaw.

    "@elliesnowballx: Zayn malik leaving one direction ha ha so he is the ugliest one anyway"

    16. Because you'll rock us until we die.

    when you have to look in the camera but zayn malik walks past

    17. Don't lose hope! We've got your back.

    "What zayn left?" "I have to go get him back bye mom" #HaveAGoodRestZayn

    18. So, everyone, let's take a deep breath together and remember—Zayn is only missing two shows. We'll be okay.
