Chapter 10

He had been happy with Jamie. She was his best friend. He married his best friend. He was never unhappy, even if he’d always known something was missing. The passion hadn’t been there for him. He loved her, but he didn’t truly desire her.

“So you’re not bisexual? Even though you were married to Jamie for seven years? All the stories I’ve seen call you gay,” Donnie says.

“I was lying to myself for a long time. I didn’t think I could be gay and be in a rock band. All the bands I knew were so macho, and the media love a lady’s man.” Jed laughs a bit. “I was wrong.”

“It’s not easy to be out and in a band. I’ve been in a lot of bands, some better than others, but in the rock scene, a lot of people had a problem with my sexuality. Sometimes liking girls made it easier. Having a girlfriend, it made me one of them. When people found out I was bisexual, it didn’t always go well.” Donnie sighs.
