He has a crush on the boy from the shop across the way from his shop in the mall, they'd been staring at each other, smiling and winking sometimes here and there, but neither of them had asked the other out, let alone introduced themselves. Alex wanted to pluck up the courage to do so, but what if this guy wasn't even gay? More importantly, what if on the off chance he was interested in Alex, he found out Alex's secret and hated him for it?

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
