AU: If there was STILL OT5 on the 8th Anniversary Today

Thank you 1D ❤ #8YearsofOneDirection

Hi guys! I wanna start this off by saying that I really do miss you so much. Happy 8 years! Happy anniversary! Can you believe it has already been 8 years since you've stood on that stage and was told that you're being put into a boyband? I remember how happy you really were. And how relieved you were, I guess, by not being out of the show so early. 8 years. 8 years of being in One Direction and so many things have happened since. Even just the last 3 years or so have been so eventful. Have you ever imagined that your lives will be like this? Because me? I did not. Never in my life (before you, of course) have I ever imagined that I will love and support a band this dearly. I thought that being a fangirl is pretty ridiculous. You know, spending your time and resources for some people you don't know personally and vice versa. But alas, you came to my life and it has never been the same since (in a positive way, mind you). July 23rd at 8:22pm. The date and time that hold a special place in many peoples hearts. The date and time that changed your lives, and ours too. July 23rd at 8:22pm. The date when you were put into a group together instead of being failed solo contestants. The date and time that changed everything. How has it been eight years already? Time flies really fast. It has been eight years since you came to our lives and made it even better. Eight years since we've been blessed with five amazing, talented, passionate, and incredible people. From the bottom of the stairs to the top of the world. I know that that sentence has been widely used in the fandom. But isn't it true? From shooting your video diaries at the stairs of the X Factor to being worldwide artists which are successful both as a band and as solo artists. One of you guys is now even a judge on the show that started it all. I really am so proud of you. You've come such a long way. You've grown so much as artists and I really am so fortunate to grow with you and witness everything. But, even when you grow older, you will always be 'the boys' and 'the lads' to me. Nothing can ever change that. I love you so much. I will never be able to really express how much I love you and what you mean to me and how thankful I am that I got to be a part of this wonderful family. You've done so many things for me, whether you are aware of it or not and I will forever be greatful to you. You, boys, hold a special place in my heart and I know that you will never be replaced here. You're my everything. Love of my life. My priority. My sunshine. I just love you so much. I owe you so much for all the happiness and inspiration that you've brought to my life. You've changed my life and I will never be able to thank you enough. I also wanna say thank you. Thank you for everything you've done not just for me but for other people too. You have been an inspiration and a source of joy for many people. You've saved so many and have been a lot of help to most of us. Thank you for sharing your music to us. Thank you for allowing us to see your talents and for sharing your stories to us. Thank you for letting us in in your life. Thank you for allowing us to know you and be a source of our strength. Thank you for spreading love in the fandom. Thank you for teaching us so many things. You make me the happiest. Thank you, you incredible people you. We've been through so much together and the past years have been a roller coaster of emotion. We've shared many memories together, and i know that those memories will stay in my heart forever. This hiatus has been hard for us. You know, because we're used to you giving us music every November. Then going on tour. We're used to seeing you oftentimes than not. I've been thinking if we took everything for granted? Maybe I should have given you more time and affection when you were still active as a band. Don't get me wrong okay? I love what you're doing now. I'm happy because I can see that you are happy too and you know that I wish nothing but your happiness. But I still miss the good old days. Ahh (in Harold's voice) those were the days, man. I just miss you. I miss you so much. I miss everything. Life wasn't as complicated as it is now back then. I wish I could turn back time. And I know that as you all are liars, the reunion or you getting back together again might not really happen. I'm still hoping though. But I expect nothing (Yes, hoping for the best but expecting the worst, that). And so I don't really wanna expect anything to be announced on this special day. Please, don't announce that you're never getting back together. If you're going to announce that then just don't announce anything, I won't expect anything anyway. I know I believe that you won't be back as a band but a confirmation will hurt so much. Just, please :(( You've hurt me enough as it is (I still love you though). Have I told you yet that I love you? I love you. I love you so much. I love everything about you. It has been eight years and I couldn't be more proud of all of your achievements and how much you've grown as artists. You've come such a long way. You've conquered the world and captured the hearts of millions. I know that each of you are doing your own thing now and you all are doing a great job at it. Please keep on doing what you love, continue to inspire more people and to spread love and happiness like what you've been doing for the past years. You don't know how many lives you've touched and saved with your music and just by being yourselves. We will always be here for you. Even if you don't really come back as a band. I will still support you. Because your happiness matters more than you getting back together. I'm sorry too. For everything that I lack as a fan. For almost forgetting you when I met another group. But worry no more (this is a reassurance for myself) because I vow to always keep you my priority moving forward. I love you so much and I regret having those times when I've kinda shifted my attention to another group. I'm sorry please don't hate me. I now see the light lol (Actually, Niall made me realize how I truly love you when I met him at Flicker tour). Anyway, I think I gotta end this here. Oh wait. I want you to know that I always tear up whenever I think of you. Lmao when did I become so emotional. Guess this is me missing you a lot. I love you so much. I wish you all the love and happiness in the world. Keep making us proud but please don't lose yourselves in the process. Remember, you guys are the most important here. I don't care about breaking records and winning awards. You. Are. The. Most. Important. Got it? Good! Harry, Niall, Louis, Liam and Zayn.. I love you, to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond. You're always in my heart. "One Direction is who we are, and it's who we always will be" Annnndd though as I've said I don't really expect anything anymore but is still hoping... "You've promised to come back, we've promised to stay. Till the end." Yes, I promise to stay. Whether you come back or not. Till the end. "We are legends. And legends never die." 8 years and counting. Here's to more years of 1D. 🎉🥂
