Zayn Malik cancels his very first public performance as a solo artist and cites 'anxiety' as the reason. Liam helps Zayn reveal 'The Truth' to the other boys of 1D, after a year of silence.
The truth behind Zayn leaving the band, his anxiety, and an OT5 reunion.
Author's Notes: No offence to anyone but this is just my version of what happened! No intention to belittle anyone with anxiety, least of all Zayn. It's only a fic, my very first one at that, 6 months into the fandom.
Massive thanks to the gorgeous Reema for being my beta.
Kudos and comments are my manna from fic-writers heaven! 😊Mistakes, if any, are mine. Enjoy!

"Liam Payne... I burn for you." "Must you make everything sound gay?" "It's literally all your fault for being the most attractive person alive." Zayn Malik thinks Liam Payne is the most beautiful person, inside out. Not the Liam Payne that he portrays most times, the friendly jock who pretends to drink at parties and pretends he enjoys being surrounded by a dozen people talking about empty nonsense. No, he likes the true Liam. Brave, dorky, bashful, sweet. He just wishes Liam would see the beauty in the person he was behind the mask. Liam Payne is terrified of Zayn Malik. Because he thinks he is the most beautiful person he has ever seen, more beautiful than even his girlfriend. And worse, Zayn was meant to be a face in the crowd but refused to leave him be. And for some reason, he wants to see more of the cringey part of himself he has worked so hard to hide. Zayn finds that part of him beautiful. As if Liam didn't need even more reason to run from him. Two souls, messed up in their own ways. One who puts all cards on the table and hides none of his feelings while the other is desperate to pretend there isn't something there. And a comic book store. What could go wrong? One fell first but the other fell harder <3 This book is ✨COMPLETED✨Complete

Struggle for Release
Zayn Malik, known to the world as one of the members of One Direction. People say he has everything- Money, fame and talent. They say, he is really happy in his life. Judging by his smile, he is. But the real question is- is he really happy? Is money, fame and talent everything? Is his smile true? The problem is sometimes the best smiles are the ones which hide the worst pains. Is that the case with Zayn? Do his band mates know? Join him and his band mates on this rollercoster called life. Fair warning: This will contain mentions of ED, depression and anxiety. Trigger warning. Also this is just a fanfic, so...yeah. Also the videos that I add, they have nothing to do with the story, well apart from the fact that they are sung by one direction. I just like putting them so there so yeah. I will add both live performances and studio version. Also just so you guys know, high notes are done by Zayn, in case you didn't know it already. Enjoy!!
