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?

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)!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
Here We Go Again {Jalex}
High school was hard, but college is even harder. Jack's coping with his break up while also balancing all his classes and it's actually quite hard for him to keep up. But he has to study and keep his grades up to keep his scholarship. This was not what he had in mind at all when planning for college, but this was the hand he was given. It didn't look like he was winning this game. Alex's experience was almost the exact opposite. He was actually doing really well in the majority of his classes. He'd taken a liking specifically to his music class and also was reunited with a certain someone from his high school days. Things were steady for him, but some people just say it's the quiet before a storm. {Sequel to TMYLM}Complete

But then he lost him, what will happen when he meets jack? Will things stay the same? Or will they both fall in love?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

Alex was in an unhappy marriage, with a woman he didn't love. All he thought about was when he was with his boyfriend, his true love Jack Barakat. Why did he push him away?
