alexgaskarth jackbarakat jalex love ships trigger warning

"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?

You Keep Me Safe (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- I wasn't wanted or needed by anyone, and I knew that far too well by now. There was nothing left for me in the cruel wrath of life until I found everything in the deep brown eyes that belonged to a tall, sensitive boy by the name of Jack Barakat. The night that I thought would be another boring, sad chapter of my story ended up being the beginning of a whole new one. He kept me safe when not even my own house could. ==+== Told in Alex's POV. Trigger warnings: anxiety, abuse (verbal/physical), cussing. Disclaimer: This is partnered with "You Keep Me Sane" (which is not completed), but you do not need to read the other one before this one, or the other way around. It's the exact same story in another perspective. Started: Dec. 18, 2019 Finished: May 26, 2021

Keep me in your memory.(Jalex) by alexfapsgarth

Jack is very confident, and loved to have fun. He took risks, and made people laugh. He was extremely cocky. He loved to control people, and stood up for himself, and others. On the other hand, alex is very shy, and doesn't know what to do when jack puts him on the spot. Jack is determined to make alex his and alex is a bit annoyed. Alex is very nervous and self conscious when it comes to jack. Jack makes him uncomfortable, but alex secretly likes it. And no matter how hard he tries to deny it, to deny that he's gay for jack, he knows deep down he's starting to like him. Will alex go in denial, and reject jack, and hurt him emotionally? Or, will jack take control?

Some Kind Of Disaster by januarygloom__

Alex is a fifteen year old boy who had the worst luck in life. He'd witnessed his parents deaths, he was bounced from foster home to foster home, but this was the last time. His torture was their entertainment. His pain was what they thrived on. Then it went way too far, and he ran. There was only one person he trusted, and it was the boy he met at school on his first day there. He barely knew this boy, but when he needed a friend, this sweet, raven haired boy told him the most important word that he hadn't heard in a long time. "You're safe." Safe was something Alex hadn't felt since he was a child, and even then, after the truth all came out, he realized he had never been safe in the first place. Jack was the boy's name, and Jack made Alex feel safe and loved. Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Jack or Alex, and this story is simply a figment of my imagination. This story will be told from both Alex's and Jack's point of view. Mostly Alex's though. I WILL ADD NOW, THIS IS GRAPHIC AND INVOLVES SELF HARM, ABUSE AND RAPE. Read at your own discretion. Time isn't really factor in this story, I was aiming at like 2008-2009 but it doesn't really matter.

By Now - (Jalex) by alovelikejalex

(WILL BE DELETING SOON!) After almost six years of being together, twenty-four year old Alex Gaskarth knows exactly what he wants; and that's to be with Jack, forever. The problem is though, is that Jack isn't quite sure what he wants - yet. Leading Alex to make the hardest decision of his life and be forced to finally move on after years of patiently waiting for something more. But what happens in a year when Alex unexpectedly gets an envelope in the mail inviting him to attend Jack's wedding? Disclaimer: the story title is from Marianas Trench's song By Now. Duh. Also, the song was sort of an inspiration for this story. But the plot and storyline is all mine. Except for the characters. I don't own the characters, sigh. Just their personalities that I've made up for fiction sake for the story. Warning: BUTT SEX. Sorry not sorry.

Come On & Save Me by januarygloom__

What are you supposed to do when the person who says they love you is the one who's constantly hurting you? What do you do when someone offers help? I got attached. I don't know what the fuck to do. That's for sure. I am warning now, this is a dark story. The first few chapters especially. Please, please be cautious of this while reading. (Jalex fic. Talk of self harm, sexual assault, suicidal thoughts, self harm scenes- cutting, pills, burning) Please read at your own discretion. Disclaimer: I do not own or am affiliated with the real Alex Gaskarth or Jack Barakat. The ones named in my book are fictional characters and their story is my own work.

We All Fall Down. (Jack Barakat of All Time Low) by StoryOfALonelyJane

I wrote this a long time ago, when I was 14/15, a time when self harm was something that seemed to just be everywhere in my life. I apologise to anyone who read this before I put this notice here, but I'm pretty sure in every chapter there is some sort of mention of mental illness/self harm. I know I could just take the story down, but it was one of the first ever stories I wrote that I liked and completed, and although I admit now it's not great, it shows progress. And progress is everything. Baby steps. Sorry again. This is an official TRIGGER WARNING. Emma is depressed. She's just been dumped and is being bullied. Can Jack save her or will she break his heart? I own everything in this story apart from lyrics used and bands mentioned, the storyline is my own and I'd appreciate it if you didn't take it or any element of my writing.

Don't You Ever Let Me Go. (Jalex) by PierceTheVeilsSirens

On the first day of 8th grade Jack Barakat notices the new kid, soon to be known as no other than Alex Gaskarth. By just one glance at him from the crowded school hallway, Jack has come to the conclusion that he hates him already. Alex just moved to Baltimore and he already has all the popular kids wrapped around his little finger. How he managed to climb to the top of the popularity list is beyond Jack's knowing. All Jack know's is that he can't wait to be far away from the school, from the popular kids, and farther away from Alex as possible. But what happens when a thought gets planted in Jack's lonely mind? When Jack starts to question things, question himself even, things take an unexpected turn. Did he really want to be far away from Alex? His mind said yes, but his heart says other wise. Everyone always tells you to listen to your heart, but people who are wiser than him-insert sarcastic laugh here- like his mother, his teachers, ect. yells at him, "Use your goddamn brain Jack!" So now the skunk color haired boy has to make a decision. Should he take a chance with his thoughts, or should he just forget them and be left to wonder the ultimate question. "What could have been?" "FUCK OFF LEAVE ME ALONE!" Jack yelled, pulling at his hair, remaining in the corner. **I DO NOT OWN ALL TIME LOW, EVEN THOUGH I WISH I DID. I DON'T OWN THEIR SONGS, BLAH BLAH BLAH, THIS IS ALL FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, BLAH, THIS IS JALEX.** Sequel, You're All I Know, is added at the end of this story.

Tell Me You Love Me {Jalex Fanfic} by jstadrtyhdlm

Jack's always hated Lisa. High school was shit enough without her. She was nothing but a cruel bitch to him when he was decent to her and he was sick of it. Being nice wasn't working. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. She won't feel so tough without her boy-toy next to her all the time. And Jack knew just how to wrap Alex around his pretty little finger. { Before some of you get mad about me using Lisa, I just wanna say I mean no offence, I highly doubt she's like this in real life, but for my story she is. She's just a character here. So don't be upset and I hope you like it. } ~Also this is a series with 2 out of (hopefully) 4 books published. So be sure to read the other part(s)!

Teenage Nightmare (Jalex) by januarygloom__

17 year old Alex has a little secret and a dark mental history. He has a three month old daughter with a girl he drunkenly hooked up with. She's a secret to the entire school, since the baby's mom goes to a different school. Alex isn't ashamed, he loves his baby girl more than his own life, but the entire school doesn't need to know his business. Why should they? They relentlessly bully him enough for being gay. Why would he tell them anything else? Give them ammunition for more bullying? No. Definitely not. His two friends know, and that's it. That's all who needs to know. Until he meets Jack. Until Jack nags him so much to go out. Until he finally cracks and says yes. Until the baby's mom gives up and gives her to Alex to raise on his own. Until Alex's world falls apart. What happens next? Let's find out. This fic will contain some homophobic slurs, panic attacks, manic episodes, hallucinations, possible self harm. I will include trigger warnings. I update quickly as I have a lot of free time, so you might get a bunch of new chapters in a row haha. Read at your own pace.

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️ by ZaynismRules

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.

♡In Your Dreams♡ (Jamilton) by Artzee_Dorito

When the quiet college student Alexander Hamilton arrives at Kings College, he automatically feels like something was gonna go completely wrong. Similar to most things in the young boy's life. Unfortunately, his suspicions were correct. He found out he had to share a dorm with none other than his enemy from high school, Thomas Jefferson. Thomas had bullied Alex countless times during their senior year of high school, (when Alex transferred,) and Alex hadn't gotten over it when he saw him again. I mean, who would be all cool with their roomie that made them cut themselves? But anyways, over time, Alex notices that Thomas isn't the basic bully that he seems, and there's a lot more to him that what he previously saw. And the more of Thomas he saw, the more he started to love him. Would Thomas return those feelings? Or would he make Alex's life a living hell for confessing his feelings? (DISCLAIMER!! I was 11 or 12 when I wrote this and had no grasp on the proper language and behavior for fanfic. I said a lot of inappropriate stuff in this book, and I have altered what I could in light of becoming older and recovering from the really awful experience that made me act out the way I did. Some parts are important to the story, so I can't erase them. But I will put trigger warnings for almost smut and self-h*rm. And maybe some stereotypes and insensitive language, as I was uneducated about lgbtq and how it can be appropriately represented by a straight woman. To anyone I've made uneasy in any way, I'm sorry. I was a real annoying and inappropriate writer. I've been a lot more friendly about my books since this, and my family and friends have helped me see how mentally messed up I was when I was writing this. I feel sick to my stomach thinking I once wrote like this and conducted myself in this manner. Please forgive me. I've learned a lot in the four years since I wrote this. Ily all, and happy reading <3)

You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-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, 2019

Save me! (Boyxboy) by 1769sharon

I let out another silent whimper as I curled up tighter into myself. When will he stop this time? I already gave up wishing that he would finally kill me. He never has yet. He was too smart for that. ----- Jayden Parker had anything but a normal life. His mom passed in a freak accident when he was 7. That was 10 years ago now he is 17 but is very small for his age.

If that's not bad enough people at school calls him a freak and bullies him at school for being gay. He was also a voluntary mute and hasn't spoke for 6 years. ----- Ethan Davis is alphas son and soon to be alpha when he finds his mate on his 18th birthday. His pack is one I the largest in the U.S. and he has the pressure of running it but luckily he will have his mate by his side. That is if he finds him or her and gets their acceptance. What he didn't expect was his mate to be a weak mute boy that everyone bullies. How can he be the mate to an alpha and help run a pack that's so large?! - (WARNING don't read if you against boyxboy. This is for mature audiences as it will contain sexual content harsh words and self harm which may be a trigger for some people!!!)

Ghost Of You (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-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.

Forget About It {Jalex Fanfic} by jstadrtyhdlm

But it just so happens Alex is the boy Jack has been thinking about for as long as he could remember. How is this gonna play out? Will Jack pursue his feelings now that he's got the chance? Or will he be decent and leave Alex alone because he has a girlfriend? Warning: There may be smut, I'm not sure yet. We'll see if the need arises. Also there will be cuss words and sexual conversations so be prepared for that stuff.

New Kid On An Old Block by januarygloom__

Alex is the new kid at school. After transferring from his private school friendless and bullied, it was safe to say that he was terrified. He lived alone basically. His parents are great, but they're always out on business trips. He had no friends at his old school, he was just the one they made fun of. Alex has some issues of his own. Being alone and hated really takes a toll on someone's mental health. Things look up when he meets two guys in his new school. One of which is really cool and calm, and the other was adorable, handsome, flawless, perfect and funny. Maybe transferring wasn't such a bad thing. Maybe he'd at least have some friends. *Mature rating because I do talk of self harm and actively play out self harm scenes. I will post trigger warnings for those*

Waiting To Be Found (Jalex) by YeahBoy-DollFace

One summer, thirteen years ago, Alex Gaskarth found himself in love with a visitor of his small town, Jack Barakat. That summer consisted of a great and powerful love, that was far more than love. Now, Alex has been at loss for thirteen long and agonizing years, engaged to the woman he is supposed to love. But what happens when he moves out of his small town, and into a world much closer to his lost love than he thinks?
