It started off as a dream.
A wonderful, magical dream.
The kind you have as a kid, and your bragging on the playground to all the other kids about the amazing things your going to accomplish when you grow up. The kind that for a while every decision in your life is made in hopes that one day that dream will come true. But then you get older, and you start to realize how cruel and unfair the world is and you lose hope in that dream all together.

One Direction was that dream.
And Zayn believed in it.

Or he did.

But then he started to realize the truth of that dream. He started to feel the pain of living a life on the road. He understood the disadvantages of a life of fame. He became use to the heartbreak of not having his songs picked for albums and he started walking on egg shells in interviews in fear of peoples reactions. He started caring more about things he shouldn't and less about things that were important.

He stopped eating.
He stopped speaking.
And he started to mold himself into whatever role the world wanted him to be.
And it absolutely broke him.

And by the time Zayn realized how soul crushing his dream had become, he realized the only way to save himself was to leave it.

And leaving the band, leaving the fans, he knew how people would see him and he knew how heartbroken everyone would be. And he felt extremely guilty about it he really did.

But he also knew that dreams end and people change.

After all, dreams only happen at night and Zayn had lived in the dark far to long.

Hey everybody! This is my first story so please be kind.

That being said I hope your excited for this work because I am! I know this isn't much but I wanted to put it out there now before I change my mind on writing this.

I've read a lot of books about Zayn leaving the band but very few in his point of view. That being said this is by no means how zayn really felt. This is just my interpretation of the invent and this is a FAN FICTION. It is not real.

So please remember to be kind and get ready!
Also my names Thea :)
