I wanted to pen this down. It's been a week now and I still can't get over it. Liam Payne. . . Passed away. I cannot believe it. The night before he passed, I saw his Instagram and Snapchat stories. When I woke up the next day, my sister told me and showed me reel saying he passed away.
At first, I thought it was some nasty joke. But my heart broke when I cross checked on Google. My heart broke reading that he fell from the hotel balcony. It broke even more when I read that he was in depression and might have been on drugs. As his fan, I was aware of everything he went through. My whole childhood and teens was made livable by One Direction and Taylor Swift. 1D was, is and always will be my favorite boy band. My heart shattered when I read what Zayn, Harry, Louis, Niall and One Direction wrote for Liam's demise.
1D fanfics are what made Wattpad famous and reach me. It was Anna Todd's After book (1D fanfic version) that attracted me towards Wattpad. I still remember writing down a 1D fanfic on my old account.
I cried the first time for 1D when Zayn left the band, not to mention exactly on my birthday. Second time when they announced a hiatus. Now, when Liam passed away. May his soul rest in peace.
He made us realize that mental health is important, and social media is not the exact reflection of our lives. He held that smile while suffering in pain, made me realize how important it is to check up on our friends and family. I might be just a fan, maybe I didn't know his life and him personally. But I grieved his demise. I grieved the death of the person who made amazing songs all his life and made my teens memorable.
These TearDrops are for Liam. His son Bear, Zayn, Harry, Louis, Niall and Liam's family.
You will be missed.
Rest in peace Payno.
Your fan <<<<3
