alex alexgaskarth alltimelow atl band barakat fanfic fanfiction gaskarth jack jackbarakat jalex jalexbarakarth romance

-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.

Ready To Run (Jalex) by frnkwaiero

Alex had enough. Enough of everything. So he decided to run away from his broken past in Britain, and on his way to a different country, he accidentaly met his light in the dark. "And...what's even your name?" the boy asked. "Uh-I'm-I'm Alex. Alex Gaskarth." he quietly stuttered and shifted a bit, then carefully looked up at the boy with glossy eyes. "Well I'm Jack, Jack Barakat. And I'm sticking with you whether you like it or not."

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.
