2 Directions

            First I want to start off with an apology because I know this was all over the internet and if you’re somehow reading this blog, then you probably have already seen a bunch of stuff about Zayn Malik leaving One Direction (they're going in two directions now, ha ha).  I’m obviously late to the discussion, but I still want to talk about it.

            Of course there are devastated “Directioners” across the globe, but I think most people are understanding that the band wouldn’t last forever and it just happened to be  Zayn who chose to leave first.  Just look at the Jonas Brothers! (I know, great comparison)  One Direction isn’t completely broken and will finish their tour without Zayn; we’re just going to miss a really important high note in “You and I”.  Many bands break up and it’s totally fine if Zayn wants to settle down with his fiancée Perry Edwards, or whatever he wants to do.  It’s just a little too soon that he had his new music released so soon after leaving the band!  It still stings, Zayn.  It also seems a bit rude that he won’t finish their tour before going solo.  Naughty Boy, the new producer, is receiving a lot of hate from the One Direction fandom. 

            As much or as little as the fans are coping, apparently not all the members of Zayn’s former band are accepting (*cough *cough, Louis).  Louis Tomlinson has apparently called Zayn out as a coward.  Ouch, that must be tough seeing as Louis, Zayn, and the boys have practically been family for so long with a band that started five years ago. 

            There’s talk and pictures of Zayn and Perrie heading on a nice vacation and leaving the world behind for a bit, but he left people stirring.  Of course the press makes it seem like he’s avoiding his ex-band members, but he could be just avoiding everyone for a while after his big decision.

           Who knows what’ll happen or if there’s “bad blood” between the boys but we hope it’s for the best.
