Jack's relationship with Alex is a little bit weird.
When Alex was ten, Jack was fifteen.
When Alex was thirteen, Jack was eighteen.
When Alex was sixteen, Jack was twenty-one.
Even though they were seven years apart, they were always best friends. It never became a problem until Alex came to the conclusion that he liked Jack. A lot.
And Jack wants to like Alex back, he totally does. But Jack is secretly a really shitty person and he doesn't want to destroy Alex's innocence because that's something Jack never had. Innocence. He will protect Alex's at all costs, even if it means Alex not getting Jack's love.
( A/N This is a Jalex [Jack Barakat & Alex Gaskarth] fanfiction, but if you don't know who these two guys are, you can still read this because I've made it so that you don't have to know about what or who 'Jalex' is for this to make sense. )

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
