Pairing: Jack Barakat/Alex Gaskarth
Summary: I’d lost count of how many had gaped at my arm with shocked expressions and open mouths, curious people unsure of whether or not they wanted to know the answer asking, “Did you cut your arm?”

The details in this are scarily amazing. It's very rare to find a self harm story where the writer actually knows what they're talking about, though it sucks that the writer has been through these things. I love this chapter for the detail and Jack asking Alex for help even if it was already something he was doing. Despite how triggering this was for me, it's really really good and I love it.

And it's cool that they won best international band. I screamed in happiness when I saw the tweets. :)

this easiest way to write something is definitely to have lived it, which obviously sucks in a case like this, but hey, i know my shit without research! i think i kind of go into unnecessary, excruciating detail sometimes, but thanks for appreciating that. and i really hope the triggering didnt lead to anything bad, sorry about that. also, thank you very much!

and cool is an understatement, it was freaking incredible. they deserve it

I don't think the details are unnecessary at all of anything they just add to the story and separate it from others. It didn't by the way. No worries :)

Aw man, it sucks that happened to you :/ I would've had like a mental breakdown or something.. I'm just glad you got through that you're doing better now.
Why didn't Alex and Jack hang out during break though? He didn't have to be all bored and alone when he has a boyfriend to fool around with ;)
BEST INTERNATIONAL BAND THOUGH OMFG I WAS TRACKING THE AWARDS THROUGH TWITTER BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T HAVING A VIDEO STREAM, AND WHEN KARRANG TWEETED THAT ATL WON I FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR JESUS, I DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD WIN OVER FREAKING GREEN DAY BUT THEY DID AND I'M SO PROUD I WAS CRYING
I feel like you enjoy my comments and we're friends or something idk but cool beans

[rose682]

i think that was actually about half a step from a full mental breakdown, but definitely a lot better in the current. this was months and months ago, so, you know, whats past it past.
i feel like if i try to explain that thisll end up being really long, but i think im going to write about jacks reluctance with stuff with alex sometimes soon (whichll actually be like chapter 31 or something, heh) but they did hang out some, just not constantly! (i probably shoulvde said that, huh)
i think i was on tumblr and of course people started posting about that instantly omg i know imagine how they must have felt, beating out their biggest idols for an award? frick even thinking about it now i feel all motherly and proud aw atl
i love your comments you return my philosophy (does that statement make sense) and yes of course we're buddies fist bump

I can't comment on the self harm without being reprimanded from society for my views and experiences but hey yeah best international band. You go all time low. So wonderful chapter. Lovely lovely descriptions. I still stand by my previous comment.

[rose682]

if theres one place where you wont be judged for your opinions about self harm, its here. i dont think they could possibly be any more fucked up and unacceptable than mine, so... yes, though, all time low rocks! so happy that they managed to get that award. and thank you very much

Haha umm I guess thats the same for me.. sorta.. I guess it actually started with my kitty and how she'd always scratch my arms (cause she didn't know any better at the time) but then I started to piss her off so she'd scratch me and I guess with all these stories, it just, um, yea... This is hard to put into words cause I've never actually told anyone.. long story short, curiosity got the best of me...
