What would my father do if he found out that his son was bisexual? How would he and my family react? 
They have already sent me to therapy for a period of time when I was still in school, merely a teenager, but I haven't gone back in over ten years. 
I should introduce myself properly; I am Jack Bassam Barakat.
As the guitarist of a band, All Time Low, most would expect me to have the perfect job, the perfect family, a perfect life. When in reality, I am a walking travesty. My wrists and arms are littered with healing and forming scars. I put the blade to my skin nearly every day by now. My friends and family think that I have stopped harming myself, but no one understands that I can't. I simply cannot find that strength in me.
And now I am discovering my love for my best friend, my band-mate, and the person whom I try to lay my blades down for. Alex Gaskarth.
