We Feel Like Dead Ends

Jack Bassam Barakat was lost once again. So unbelievably lost. It had been 1 year since his best friend Alex’s suicide (suicide attempt, I mean.) Alex Gaskarth, age 16 at the time, had been saved by the paramedics. After 3 months inside the hospital, the caramel haired boy was sent to a mental rehabilitation center right outside of Baltimore, his former home. Jack Barakat, age 15 at the time of his best friend’s suicide attempt, 16 now, had been forced into extensive therapy sessions that still continued after 12 months and 84 claims that he was ‘okay’. And some of the therapists believed that. Maybe he was okay, after all. But anyone who really knew Jack –which is barely anyone, to be perfectly honest; only his two friends Rian Dawson and Zack Merrick - knew that he was falling apart, starting from the unclosed wound in his heart where Alex had resided.
