just because jack barakat isn't real doesn't mean he can't leave a lanky, skunk-haired hole in alex's brain.

Teenage Nightmare (Jalex)
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.Complete
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
Come On & Save Me
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.Complete
New Kid On An Old Block
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*Complete
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

I Love You Alex Gaskarth(Jalex)
Alex is your typical high school kid. He isn't exactly popular, but he gets good grades and has some pretty great friends. Then one day, a new kid comes to school and he will change Alex's way of thinking, forever. Jack is the new kid in school, well the new kid in town. He moved here with his mom to get away from his problems and his old high school. Will Alex help Jack face his fears and get rid of the problems that haunt him, or make them worse than before? It was simply by coincidence that these two met. Alex and Jack will change each others lives, but the question is, for the better or for the worse? ----- I, of course, don't own anyone from All Time Low! (No matter how much I wish I did!) Everything written in this story is from my own mind, none of this actually happened. I also do not own any songs, items, or places that might be mentioned in this story. However, I do own this story. *Warning* Possible Smut and Self-Harm! Also if I make any spelling/grammar mistakes I'm very sorry. I'm not going to go back in and fix everything. I'm just way too lazy for that. Hope you enjoy it anyways! :) ©2015-2080 *2018 Update Note!!!!* This is the first story I ever wrote. It's crap, I honestly think it's crap. Some people like it, some people love it, I personally don't. The chapters are short and I'm sure there are tons of mistakes, but I re-uploaded it anyways because I was asked to. This is your warning. ^.^Complete
Homewreckers || Merrikat
Completed June 12, 2016 DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction. The only thing real in this fic are the characters. The scenarios in this book most likely won't ever happen in real life. Also, the first half of this book is...really cringeworthy so I'm warning you in advance. - Senior year has just started. Zack got this. He was going to ask out his best friend, Jack Barakat. This should go as planned...not necessarily. The new kid, Alex Gaskarth, comes in and takes Jack away from him. Then before you know it, they're going out. That's a good thing! Zack's best friend, since forever, has finally found someone, right? Not in Zack's head. He knew Alex wasn't the one for him. And he would do anything to make sure that Jack is in his arms at the end of the day. - -There's not enough to merrikat on here so here's this lmao -also the story is in Zack's POV unless I say otherwiseComplete
