Remember when you were my boat, I was your sea, together we'd float so delicately?
Jack Barakat is just your average kid. Bunking off school, stealing exam papers, falling in love. Alex Gaskarth was different. He was a lot different. Sure, he bunked off school too. He even started the stealing exam paper trend. But he didn't fall in love. He just made people fall in love. Jack Barakat was a victim, a victim of Alex's love.
The one's who haven't died or started families are all just working on building sites or battling university fees and a boy I used to know made me a promise once, I wonder if he kept it, or if he even remembers it..

You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex)
-COMPLETED- - trigger warnings in first chapter "Let's get to my house, we need to get you warm," he says. I look at him, and he's soaking wet. He's only wearing a short sleeve shirt with skinny jeans, since he gave me the sweatshirt he was wearing. I felt bad for him, but at the same time, he looked so perfect. The way the rain was dripping off his hair and chin, the way his wet shirt clung to his body, the way he was looking at me- all of it. Every part of me is aching to kiss him, just once, but I know I can't. He's perfect, but he's as straight as can be. === Ex best friends. That's what they were. Everything changed once Alex came out as gay to Jack, pushing them from best friends to strangers with memories. But, when Alex goes to extreme measures to end his pain, will Jack come back into his life? And even if he does... will they be able to be around each other without their world crumbling around them? -=+=- I've sprinkled quite a few All Time Low song references not only in the titles, but in the text hehehe Started: Nov. 13, 2019 Finished: Dec. 1, 2019Complete

Ghost Of You (Jalex)
-COMPLETED- Jack Barakat ended his own life eight years ago at the young age of nineteen. Or... that was the common belief, anyway. Alex Gaskarth was left to deal with the heartbreak that was destined to haunt him every time winter came around, every time he heard a guitar, and, truthfully, with every breath that entered his lungs. Jack was painted on everything in Alex's mind. His hands felt cold without Jack's fingers intertwined with his; his lips felt useless without Jack's pressed against them; his heart felt empty without Jack's love there to fill it. Until, given some time and some good friends, everything changes. ==+== POV switches between multiple people. Inspired by "Ghost Of You" by 5 Seconds Of Summer. The only trigger warning is the mention that Jack has committed suicide in the past. Otherwise, this will be a safe fanfiction with the exception of cussing. Started: December 9, 2019. Finished: December 16, 2019.Complete

And Tell Me You Love Me (Jalex)
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.

"Hello bitches you've reached the answering machine of Alex Gaskarth leave me a message and if your sexy enough ill get back to you" Hearing his voice brought a tear to my eye and made all the memories flood back, a small smile appearing on my lips ill always remember his cute cocky attitude, BEEP. "Alex Im not coming back, Ive done something so terrible. Im terrified to speak, but you would expect that from me" I paused to compose myself, holding back the tears that threatened to spill over my cheek, I Noticed the heavy rain thundering to the ground around me.

"Ill never forget you Alex Gaskarth" Now to start my new life and pray that every time I close my eyes im not reminded of horror that unfolded today.Complete
