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.

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

Are You Having A Good Time, Sweetheart?
TW: Self harm, suicidal thoughts. Note: Smut, fluff, all the good stuff. A Jalex fic. Alex is in love with this black haired boy with the blonde streak in his hair. Alex doesn't even know this boy's name, and the boy doesn't know Alex. The boy has never even so much as looked at Alex. Until now. Setting- end of March 2017, but Alex and Jack are in high school. No band. Just Alex and Jack as themselves. This story has nothing to do with real-life Alex and Jack, or their band All Time Low. This is simply just a story. I did change the time this story is set in, because I realized that I can't go forward when I don't know what's happening in 2020, let alone 2021. So, it's now 2017. Either way, story doesn't change.Complete
