One Direction are taking ‘an extended hiatus’ of at least a year to focus on solo projects, according to The Sun.
And for die hard Directioners, this is understandably a hard time.
First there was shock.

A lot of denial.
I'm still not worried. I do feel like if anything big like disbanding comes up we'll know from the 1d account or their reps

Followed by confusion.

Bargaining.

when people ask me if i'm aware of 1D's split https://t.co/dFWbiLCv8X
— DXMI3N (@dchoppin) August 23, 2015
And finally, acceptance (of sorts).
even if 1d did break up the article says they'll get back together they need a break their last break was only 3 months between WWA & OTRA
