High school was hard, but college is even harder. Jack's coping with his break up while also balancing all his classes and it's actually quite hard for him to keep up. But he has to study and keep his grades up to keep his scholarship. This was not what he had in mind at all when planning for college, but this was the hand he was given. It didn't look like he was winning this game. Alex's experience was almost the exact opposite. He was actually doing really well in the majority of his classes. He'd taken a liking specifically to his music class and also was reunited with a certain someone from his high school days. Things were steady for him, but some people just say it's the quiet before a storm. {Sequel to TMYLM}

"It's okay, Jack" he whispered quickly, trying to offer some comfort. He'll never know how much I appreciate that from him. He'll never know. I can't ever let him know, and I can't let him get any closer to me. I have to let him go, and that thought alone makes me want to tear myself apart. *** Jack Barakat lived a simple life, with a simple schedule to go along with it, until he met a particularly destructive boy. Head over heels, he is desperate to be enough, resulting in a painfully escalating eating disorder that has him sent to the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs hospital, where he will meet Alex Gaskarth a year later. Alex, a self proclaimed walking disaster, puts it on himself to help Jack better himself so he can be released. Will his attempt to help make or break Jack? Is the eating disorder Jacks only problem? And is their relationship bound to become more? (Trigger warnings listed on intro chapter)

Roommates are awful. Especially when you're in love with him and he's straight. My life is a living hell and I wish Alex would just put on a shirt when he works out.

A box of pictures that shouldn't have collected so much dust sparks some memories for Alex that take him back to a different time. Back to before his daughter, before his wife; to a time when music and love were the same, and Jack Barakat was still in his life. ~ Title Credit: Memories that Fade like Photographs, by All Time Low

If Alex could press rewind...if he could just take things back a little while. Just a few minutes...days...months. If he could just go back a few years, and stop it before it all began, he would.

“So basically, one of us puts these headphones on-” he took them off the table and placed them on his head “and blasts music while the other one says a sentence to you and you have to guess it by reading their lips” Jack finished. “We're quite good at that” Alex smirked and winked at the camera. “That we are” Jack pecked Alex on the lips and they both smiled.

Jack remembers everything; he remembers from the beginning. His story is neither heard nor remembered by anyone - apart from Alex. Pairing: Jalex (Jack Barakat and Alex Gaskarth) Rating: PG Warnings: None, really. A little drinking.

Sleep beckons everyone once nighttime falls, except for Jack. He can never seem to drift into dreamland for various reasons. At least he as Alex there to cuddle with. (based off the song Hold Onto Me by Mayday Parade)

4 seconds, and they were hit. 4 seconds, and the veil fell over Jack's eyes. 4 seconds, and Jack couldn't see the sun. Or the one where Jack is blind, and meets a certain someone named Alex. -Oneshot- Credit to xxninny435xx on Livejournal
