One Direction May Be Taking An Entire Year Off, And We Blame Zayn

First I drop my granola bar in the street, and now this?

I AM HAVING A VERY BAD MORNING, AND IT IS PROBABLY ALL YOUR FAULT, ZAYN.

According to PEOPLE, One Direction may take a yearlong hiatus, beginning in March of the coming year, to chase their goals of solo stardom.

Sound familiar? THAT'S BECAUSE ZAYN IS PUTTING WILD DREAMS IN THEIR SWEET HEADS.

The hiatus means three things for 1D and their fans:

1. The band will not be touring for their upcoming album, which is expected to drop before the end of 2015.

2. The world of popular music will fall into a dark, apocalyptic chaos.

3. Niall Horan will show up in a year, and everyone will be like, “Do you even go here?”

Fans are responding via Twitter, and I commend them because frankly my face and hands are numb over this decision.

Tweets reminding the group members they have a lifelong responsibility to their fans are necessary. Someone has to lay down the damn law.

Incoherent tears are par for the course during a tragedy of this magnitude.

Emotional control is futile, TBH.

Goodbye, world. I am off to listen to "Nobody Compares" and stare out my window until it rains.
