The FanFair is a place for you to find and connect with people who love the things you love. It's a place to immerse yourself in all of your favorite fandoms, discover lesser-known fanfiction writers, and geek out with your fellow Wattpadders. We'll...
When it comes to home, a few loved ones immediately come to mind, family and friends for instance. But a few unexpected faces have also found a place in my heart: the five phenomenal members of One Direction - Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik.

I've never been a big fan of celebrities, but these boys have truly got me hooked. They've been instrumental in building up my self confidence. For me, their voices often act like a soothing lullaby that melts away all of my distress, especially when I am having a bad day. Some people might find it difficult to understand the in-depth connection between a fan and a celebrity, and others might call it an obsession, but all I can say is that they have saved me in so many ways despite the fact that we have never met before. They might just be average celebrities for the rest, but they mean the whole world to me.
If you ask me the reason why I love them so much, my answers would have no end. There are too many lovely things that make them so precious and lovable. Nonetheless, if you ask me what my life would be without them, then I would only have one answer. Meaningless. All of my worries in a day would be diminished by simply watching their videos and photographs. This is because they have never ceased to remind me how beautiful life is through their message as well as their songs.
One of my favorite songs from them is "Don't Forget Where You Belong" in their third album, "Midnight Memories". The song depicted how they would always be a home to their fans whenever they feel like they don't have a place in this world. They even mentioned that they wrote this song with their Directioners in mind. I will always listen to that song every time I feel out of place and in need of comfort.
Apart from their amazing songwriting skills and singing, they are also splendid individuals that possess hearts full of humbleness and grace. In many interviews, they have never failed to acknowledge their hometown and the fact that their family always came first in every situation. They always treat their fans with utmost care as well as encouraging the fans to be kind to others unfailingly.
Even though they are currently on hiatus right now, I still support their solo careers (with a tiny little hope of a reunion). In short, the boys have not only led the musical charts and won awards for their astounding talent in music, but they are also a place that I call home and for that reason, I could never thank them enough.

I have never once thought that Liam will leave this soon. Upon hearing the news of his passing, it feels like my whole world is in shambles. I cannot believe that I have to say goodbye. He has been my comfort person for so long, but now I am physically unable to listen to his songs or pictures without breaking down in tears. It has been a month since we lost him, but it feels as if yesterday that I woke up to the devastating news.
Until this day, the wave of sadness still comes and goes as a constant reminder that Liam is no longer here as I am going through the different phases of grief. However, I keep on telling myself that it's okay to cry, it's okay to feel sad and it's also completely fine to smile and laugh without feeling any guilt because each one of us grieves differently in our own ways.
Grief is love that has no place to go, so in this difficult time, I often reach out to my loved ones to surround me with support and encouragement. I hope that there will be a day in which I will be able to smile and reminisce all the good memories that Liam has given me whenever I watch his videos, looking at his pictures as well as listening to his songs. It is incredibly arduous to live a world without my Liam, but he will forever remain in my heart.
My sweet angel Liam, I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. You are enough, a million times enough. I will miss you everyday. I love you forever and always.
