100 Days Ago Zayn Malik Left One Direction. Since then my life has been a rollercoaster. A lot of drops. It has been hard. Battling with depression, I have come to face the facts. 1D may be 4 right now, but they will always be 5 in my mind. Zayn has continued in the music industry and he has not left us. I will always love him no matter what. Zayn will always be a part of One Direction. One Direction is Zayn's home. Forever and Always!
