10 Stages of Denial Over a Zayn-less 1D

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Lutheran chapter.

It’s true. Zayn Malik officially left One Direction. What’s the future of One Direction now? No one knows. But one thing is for sure, One Direction as we know it is coming to grinding halt. 

So to help us get through this extremely traumatic event, here are a few things every Directioner, out of the closet or not, is feeling right now.

 

1. Denial.

 

2. You check your sources to see if the news is true.

 

3. You fall into complete and utter denial.

 

4. But the moment you realize the rumors are true…

 

5. And you feel like you’re watching a horror movie where the bad guy prevails.

 

6. So you lock yourself in your room and listen to every One D song/album/cover you own.

 

7. And afterwards, you can’t even function anymore…

 

8. So you try and cheer up by looking at cute pictures of puppies.

 

9. When suddenly you get angry that Zayn would do this to us.

 

10. But when you calm down, you just wish you had the old One Direction back.

 

Luckily the news has been released that the other four boys will continue to go on their world tour and release their fifth album later on this year. While we will definitely miss no longer having Zayn in the group, we still can look forward to what Harry, Louis, Liam, and Niall all have in store for us in the time to come!
