It may be Friday, and folks around the nation may be enjoying a few rays of sunshine before the weather turns cold, and the Pope may be gracing America with his presence. But this is still a tragic day for millions of young men and women around the globe. Okay, mostly millions of women around the globe. But the point still remains: Zayn Malik quit One Direction on March 25, 2015. That’s six months ago today. As a result, the hashtag “#6MonthsWithoutZayn” has been trending worldwide on Twitter, with one user summing up most people’s feelings by writing of One Direction at the moment. “4 in our eyes. But 5 in our hearts.” How true, right? Another 1Der Tweeted “Still waiting for you to come home even though I know that you won’t change your mind,” while another simply wrote: “I’m emotional.” We all are, especially due to how crazy everything has been since Zayn left. Malik has since split from fiancee Perrie Edwards. He’s also signed a solo record deal, saying he left One Direction to make real music . OUCH. One Direction, meanwhile, has announced the release date of its next album (November 13). But it’s also made a far more heartbreaking announcement: the group will take an extended hiatus in 2016 . If the boy band never reunites, the outcry from Twitter may very well take down the entire social media universe.
