JB1988: If we had a competition for whose roommate is worse I'd definitely win. Earthtolex: I somehow doubt that.

Alex is a troublemaker, yet he doesn't want to be. It's just that when people get too close, or too personal for his comfort, he snaps. Events of his past have left him afraid of almost any physical contact, and other people in general. He's trying to mend his broken life, and is offered a fresh start after being expelled from his last school. Jack, on the other hand, is depressed. He feels worthless, like a waste of life and space, and has just about the lowest self-esteem possible. He's searching for the affection and comfort he so desperately needs. The meet at a bus stop one day, but are torn apart when Alex has to suddenly run off, without even giving the boys a chance to exchange names. Half a year later, the pair is reunited, when Jack is assigned to be Alex's tour guide on his first day at Dulaney High. Their feelings for one another quickly grow, though they're confused about where, exactly, the relationship is headed. Can the two boys help each other? Are they enough?

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.

What is the best way to keep a secret? "Tell it to everyone you know, but pretend you are kidding" - Lemony Snicket. It turned out that Snicket was painfully correct. By the time I reached P.E. after lunch on Monday, it was tipping over the edge of eighty degrees, and my red hoodie had been stuffed in the back of my locker since Brunch. I'd lost count of how many people had gaped at my arm with shocked expressions and open mouths, curious voices unsure of whether or not they wanted to know the answer asking, "Did you cut your arm?" By third period, I'd gotten so fucking sick of repeating the same excuse that my sarcastic asshole side had leaked out. So, I'd been responding to my classmates appalled questions with something along the lines of, "Yes, I cut myself." There was a kind of sick humor to it - technically, I was telling the truth. Not that anyone would ever know it. Cover cred to RazorbladeKissesx

The woods had always fascinated Alex, but so had the house on the other side of it. Large, tempting, and beautiful... Alex had always found himself drawn to the house, much like how he found himself drawn to who lived there. Jack... he was a million things. Jack got Alex talking again, which he hadn't been able to bring himself to do since the hard death of his brother, Tom.

{Can be triggering} Alex isn't happy with his life, one day he decides he'd had enough and attempts suicide, in a panic his parents take him the hospital and manage to save his life. When he wakes up he's told his parents have signed him into a mental ward, as he's walking around he meets a strange boy named Jack. After getting to know him he wonders why he's here, little does he know he's even worse off than he is.

I lean back on the arm chair scanning the party, warm beer in my left hand and lit cig in my right. I'm not even sure who's party this or how happy they would be with me smoking in the house but judging from the ashtray on the table I'm guessing it's okay. More hoping than guessing because I don't want to be forced to leave before I prove to Jack I do actually go party's. He always says I'm never at party's otherwise he would see me, I'm always at a party but I'm usually behind a locked door. I put out my cig in the ashtray and look over to the window where a intense game of beer pong was happening. When is Jack going to show up? That's the only reason I'm here in a arm chair and not locking lips with a cute guy or girl is Jack. "Hey roomie." I hear, I turn to look to the door and Jack was standing right next to me, "So you're here?" "I said I would be." I grin taking a sip from the red cup. "Just because you said you would do something don't mean you would actually do it." Jack sits on the arm next to me, "You're never at party's." "I'm always at party's." I correct, "It's just usually I'm getting laid about now." "Sure." Jack rolls his eyes. "You're just pissed you haven't got the blowjob I offered you." I say taking another sip so I didn't laugh at the look on Jacks face, "You can have it now if you want." "I'm not gay." He stutters. "Neither am I." I shrug, "I'm going to get laid speak to you later roomie." Completed 15.12.17

What happens when the boy of your dreams moves in next door from across the world? Jack has never had these feelings before - will he get the boy he wants? Or will Alex's anxiety get in the way of them? I don't write smut so don't get disappointed bc ur horny ass wasn't satisfied :))

Jack never liked highschool, but that's mostly because of Alex Gaskarth. Highschool AU [Completed]
