Jack Barakat is spending Senior Week at Ocean City, Maryland. While there, he meets Alex Gaskarth, who is cool, sexy, and probably way out of his league. But when Alex starts taking a liking to Jack, Jack makes a decision: By the time he leaves, he’ll have Alex falling head over heels for him.

Jack Barakat is persuaded into lying for a friend at a party one night. He ends up meeting the guy of his dreams, but has to lie about his age to keep him. Will Jack ever tell this guy the truth? *This story is pre-written so I'm going to upload a new chapter every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. *Title credit: What's my age again by Blink-182

Alex Gaskarth is a soft-spoken nerd with his small group of friends. Jack Barakat is the complete opposite, the school bully, with his cult of failing delinquents. Do opposites really attract? • {COMPLETED} started february 1st, 2016 completed on march 20th, 2016

If it wasn't for one faulty clasp, Jack Barakat and Alex Gaskarth would have been nothing more than another one night stand to each other. If Jack hadn't been rushing to college, they never would have met properly in the daylight. If Alex hadn’t had to get to work early, they never would have fallen for one another. If the pendant hadn’t caught the light, they never would have torn each other apart. But on that day, late January, that seemingly insignificant piece of metal did break. Jack was late. Alex was forced to be early. The sun shone at the right angle. And that made all the difference.

17 year old Alex has a little secret and a dark mental history. He has a three month old daughter with a girl he drunkenly hooked up with. She's a secret to the entire school, since the baby's mom goes to a different school. Alex isn't ashamed, he loves his baby girl more than his own life, but the entire school doesn't need to know his business. Why should they? They relentlessly bully him enough for being gay. Why would he tell them anything else? Give them ammunition for more bullying? No. Definitely not. His two friends know, and that's it. That's all who needs to know. Until he meets Jack. Until Jack nags him so much to go out. Until he finally cracks and says yes. Until the baby's mom gives up and gives her to Alex to raise on his own. Until Alex's world falls apart. What happens next? Let's find out. This fic will contain some homophobic slurs, panic attacks, manic episodes, hallucinations, possible self harm. I will include trigger warnings. I update quickly as I have a lot of free time, so you might get a bunch of new chapters in a row haha. Read at your own pace.

Jack is clumsy, lanky and awkward. He's constantly screwing things up. He doesn't think much of himself, but that changes when he's dragged to hell to be Alex's pet mortal for the rest of time.
