Alex Gaskarth is a nobody. He's just one small speck that walks the world alone and barely makes it by. He's lived off of his parents ever since he graduated, but now that they've moved back to England and left him in Baltimore, he's barely able to pay to put food on the table. He doesn't have a job (and doesn't care to get one) so the only way that he's able to make money is playing guitar in the local park, but what happens one day when he's approached by a stranger who just so happens to also be a part of the richest family in Baltimore? Jack Barakat is a somebody. Being one of the four children of a wealthy industry owner, he pretty much has enough money to buy whatever he wants and more. He enjoys having money, but there's one problem... Eventually the money runs out and the fact that his father has an obsession with alcohol and his mother is addicted to cocaine isn't helping any. He thought he could have all the fun being rich, but he's at the point where he realizes that the money will eventually get to your head and he wants out of that life. That's when he stumbles across a man playing guitar in the park. That's when he realizes that he may get the chance to live "normally" for once. This is a story I am cowriting on mibba. Jack's point of view: Me, c0l0urfultears Alex's point of view: My coauthor, @EmptySighsAndWine Title credit: Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me - All Time Low Completed but not edited.

"Sometimes people just can't be helped, some of us are meant to die, drop it" Jack spat at me, I flinched at his words but my determination was stronger. I can and I will help him, without help he will never get out of here.. *** After Alex Gaskarth was hospitalized for his third suicide attempt this year his parents decided that it would be best for him to spend some time in the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs Hospital. There he has to share a room with Jack Barakat, who was possibly the worst person to room with due to his attitude, but when Alex discovers more about Jack and why he was there he begins to feel different towards the boy he was told to stay away from. Will Jack accept Alex's help and encouragement? Or will he shut himself away from Alex and refuse anything to do with him? Is what Alex feels towards Jack more than just the need to help him? (Trigger Warnings will be listed on the first chapter)

I've been debating on making a jalex fic for a while but I kinda shy away because I don't want people to hate me… um i never give description to stories until they're finished cause I always end up changing the plot somehow so if you want to know what it's about you kinda have to read it. Um. Yeah, bye.

Jack loves his life. He has friends, a great family, and a great life in general. But what will happen when he is out one day on a cold winter evening and finds Alex, the loner kid at school who is constantly picked on, standing over the railings of a bridge? (Sadly, I don't own All Time Low)

"Well fuck you too, Paul!" I yelled as my Mom's boyfriend stormed back down the stairs. Boarding school? Fucking boarding school? What the hell are they thinking? Everyone knows that those shitholes are just full of dickhead guys and slutty girls. Well, I'll show them. Anything's better than staying with Mom and that asshole. Jack was pissed off with his family. They had sent him to boarding school and he WAS NOT happy about it. But when Jack meets Alex, who may be an even bigger ass than his horrible step dad, will his luck change? Trailer for this fic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc0_6dVX5G8

It's just after school and Jack Barakat is walking back from school when something catches his eye, a blond haired boy sitting on a swing alone with his head looking down at a small silver thing that's shining in the darkness. This maybe triggering and there might be swearing and maybe even sexy bits who knows ;) Any way enjoy! ~I will try and update as often as possible~
