Authors note

Hey everyone,

First off, I want to thank you all for supporting this story for the past 10 years. When I started this fanfic back in 2014, I was just a teenager, deeply in love with a boy band that made me feel seen and understood. To see all the likes, favorites, and comments over the years means the world to me—especially as we've all grown together through this journey.

The recent passing of Liam Payne has hit me hard, as I know it has for many of you. For those of us who grew up with One Direction, it feels like we've lost a part of our childhood. Whether you were fortunate enough to see them live or just stayed up until 6 a.m. waiting for their latest song or video (like I did!), we all shared that love and excitement. It's heartbreaking to think that some of us never got the chance to see all five of them on stage together again.

My heart goes out to Liam's family, friends, and his son, Bear. As Directioners, we're mourning alongside them. Liam, you've left an impact on so many lives, including mine, and for that, I'll always be grateful.

If anyone is struggling with this loss or just needs a friend right now, my inbox is always open. Let's stick together during this time. Rest in peace, Liam Payne—you'll always hold a special place in our hearts.

Love, 
Tiffany
