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!

Percy Valentine takes care of Ryland Brooks. That's the way it's always been. They met when they costarred on a generic family sitcom when Riley was just 7 years old and Percy was 9. They stayed together when things imploded 10 years later because that's what made sense. But now it's been 5 more years. Percy has a baby and a routinely failing relationship. Riley has a substance use problem that really just stacks on top of all his other problems. What they've had together isn't sustainable anymore. And that's just where things begin. Abuse, trauma, pain, and growing up in the spotlight. It's about what happens when you're on top of the world, and then when you're not.
