17 year old Alex has a little secret and a dark mental history. He has a three month old daughter with a girl he drunkenly hooked up with. 
She's a secret to the entire school, since the baby's mom goes to a different school. Alex isn't ashamed, he loves his baby girl more than his own life, but the entire school doesn't need to know his business. Why should they? They relentlessly bully him enough for being gay. Why would he tell them anything else? Give them ammunition for more bullying? No. Definitely not.
His two friends know, and that's it. That's all who needs to know.
Until he meets Jack.
Until Jack nags him so much to go out.
Until he finally cracks and says yes.

Until the baby's mom gives up and gives her to Alex to raise on his own.
Until Alex's world falls apart.
What happens next?
Let's find out.

This fic will contain some homophobic slurs, panic attacks, manic episodes, hallucinations, possible self harm. I will include trigger warnings.

I update quickly as I have a lot of free time, so you might get a bunch of new chapters in a row haha. Read at your own pace.

(Jalex) (boyxboy) Alex and Jack live in a small, tight-knit, homophobic town, and their secrets will be kept hidden until they're old enough to move to a place more open about non-hetero sexualities. For now though, Freshman student Alex Gaskarth, and his best friend/secret lover, Jack Barakat who is a Sophomore, keep their relationship on the down low, enjoying every second of it. They're actually content with being in the closet, considering the only person important to them, eachother, are the only ones who know. Will things work out or will someone eventually find out what's going on behind closed doors?
