Alex Gaskarth and Kaelyn Miller have been best friends and next door neighbors since Alex's family moved to Maryland from the UK. Over the years, they both developed feelings for each other, but managed to hide those feelings, convinced that the other person would never feel the same way. 

When they first met, Kaelyn protected Alex from the bullies who teased him about his accent. Ten years later, it was his turn to protect her: from her abusive boyfriend and from herself. 

Now it's the summer of 2006. Alex, Jack, Rian and Zack have all graduated from high school and are ready to set off on their very first Warped Tour. Kaelyn tags along, as do her best girl friends, Lisa and Kara. Alex is still in love with Kaelyn, but her eyes are on someone new: Zack. Will Alex be able to tell Kaelyn how he really feels, or will he only drive her away with his jealousy and protectiveness?

Told in alternating present day and flashback chapters.

Of course, trigger warning for partner abuse.

33 parts Complete
On the first day of 8th grade Jack Barakat notices the new kid, soon to be known as no other than Alex Gaskarth. By just one glance at him from the crowded school hallway, Jack has come to the conclusion that he hates him already. Alex just moved to Baltimore and he already has all the popular kids wrapped around his little finger. How he managed to climb to the top of the popularity list is beyond Jack's knowing. All Jack know's is that he can't wait to be far away from the school, from the popular kids, and farther away from Alex as possible. But what happens when a thought gets planted in Jack's lonely mind? When Jack starts to question things, question himself even, things take an unexpected turn. Did he really want to be far away from Alex? His mind said yes, but his heart says other wise. Everyone always tells you to listen to your heart, but people who are wiser than him-insert sarcastic laugh here- like his mother, his teachers, ect. yells at him, "Use your goddamn brain Jack!" So now the skunk color haired boy has to make a decision. Should he take a chance with his thoughts, or should he just forget them and be left to wonder the ultimate question. "What could have been?" "FUCK OFF LEAVE ME ALONE!" Jack yelled, pulling at his hair, remaining in the corner. **I DO NOT OWN ALL TIME LOW, EVEN THOUGH I WISH I DID. I DON'T OWN THEIR SONGS, BLAH BLAH BLAH, THIS IS ALL FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, BLAH, THIS IS JALEX.** Sequel, You're All I Know, is added at the end of this story.

What does she have that I don't? Alex tried to talk to me, but I ignored him and walked off. "Good luck man, when she's pissed, she doesn't stop being pissed for a few days." Gavin sympathizes with Alex. I don't want to tell anyone what happened, and I'm not going to. I wait for All Time Low to go on stage. I'm not gonna be a cunt and quit on him just because he did with me. I wait for a little while and then head out at my que, singing, bowing, and walking off and going to my bus. "If Alex comes by tell him I already went to bed. I don't want to talk to him." I mutter at the guys, going into the bathroom, taking off my makeup before climbing into bed in my sports bra and sweat pants. ●●●● Petal is a girl who loves music, and has always had a passion for it. She's in a band, touring with her favorite band around the world with her best friends. It's a little crazy, being a girl with bipolar depression around people who never seem to truly understand. Alex is a player just like Jack, only has been in a few serious relationships. He likes a challenge, and Petal is one hell of a challenge that he is scared to fall in love with. "You won't leave me, right?" I ask, tears in my eyes. "I won't ever, ever leave you. You help me line up things in my life, you and all the events in my life, have proven that it's all a big constellation." *In this, Lisa and Alex never got married. Lisa won't be mentioned, she doesn't exist, I think she's too wonderful for anyone to talk bad about.*
