(WILL BE DELETING SOON!)
After almost six years of being together, twenty-four year old Alex Gaskarth knows exactly what he wants; and that's to be with Jack, forever. The problem is though, is that Jack isn't quite sure what he wants - yet. Leading Alex to make the hardest decision of his life and be forced to finally move on after years of patiently waiting for something more. But what happens in a year when Alex unexpectedly gets an envelope in the mail inviting him to attend Jack's wedding? 

Disclaimer: the story title is from Marianas Trench's song By Now. Duh. 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. Just their personalities that I've made up for fiction sake for the story.

They Told You To Stay Away (Jalex) by YeahBoy-DollFace

"It's okay, Jack" he whispered quickly, trying to offer some comfort. He'll never know how much I appreciate that from him. He'll never know. I can't ever let him know, and I can't let him get any closer to me. I have to let him go, and that thought alone makes me want to tear myself apart. *** Jack Barakat lived a simple life, with a simple schedule to go along with it, until he met a particularly destructive boy. Head over heels, he is desperate to be enough, resulting in a painfully escalating eating disorder that has him sent to the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs hospital, where he will meet Alex Gaskarth a year later. Alex, a self proclaimed walking disaster, puts it on himself to help Jack better himself so he can be released. Will his attempt to help make or break Jack? Is the eating disorder Jacks only problem? And is their relationship bound to become more? (Trigger warnings listed on intro chapter)

You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- - trigger warnings in first chapter "Let's get to my house, we need to get you warm," he says. I look at him, and he's soaking wet. He's only wearing a short sleeve shirt with skinny jeans, since he gave me the sweatshirt he was wearing. I felt bad for him, but at the same time, he looked so perfect. The way the rain was dripping off his hair and chin, the way his wet shirt clung to his body, the way he was looking at me- all of it. Every part of me is aching to kiss him, just once, but I know I can't. He's perfect, but he's as straight as can be. === Ex best friends. That's what they were. Everything changed once Alex came out as gay to Jack, pushing them from best friends to strangers with memories. But, when Alex goes to extreme measures to end his pain, will Jack come back into his life? And even if he does... will they be able to be around each other without their world crumbling around them? -=+=- I've sprinkled quite a few All Time Low song references not only in the titles, but in the text hehehe Started: Nov. 13, 2019 Finished: Dec. 1, 2019

The Nights We Felt Alive by kellicrkings

A night out in the streets of Baltimore could lead to so many things. Jack didn't know it could lead to finding his masked soulmate. But when they showed their true identities at the end of the masquerade he didn't know it would be his long-lost love that ended so tragically seven years ago. Alex Gaskarth was everything to him until he pushed him away. Their love was so strong, he never felt that again after leaving. Would they both risk it all for love? Alex was in an unhappy marriage, with a woman he didn't love. All he thought about was when he was with his boyfriend, his true love Jack Barakat. Why did he push him away? Was he scared of commitment? He never knew the right answer, all he knew was that he was willing to do anything he could to get his Jack back.

Ghost Of You (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-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.

An All Time High by MasterOfUnicornMikey

UNEDITED!! I am not planning on editing any of my stories on here as I do not have the time, however, I believe these stories are a great and fun read. Ignore all the spelling and grammar mistakes, trust me, I know they are there. Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat are and forever will be the best of friends. They do everything together, almost like brothers. People often joked with them by calling them a secret romance, and the boys would play along, stealing kisses while on stage for their band All Time Low, kisses that never really had an underlined meaning to either of them. But that changes when Jack meets the girl of his dreams, Scarlet Miller. Scarlet is everything Jack wants in a women, she's smart. funny, caring, and she knows how to be one of the guys. Rian and Zack absoultely adore her saying she is a part of the group. None of this sits well with Alex however, he is annoyed by the girl, always giving her a cold shoulder. After all, she is the girl that stole his best friend. Jack has been canceling plans and talking to Alex less and less. Alex hates her, when people ask him about it he simply says she's not right for him. Deep down Alex knows that's not the truth, he has feelings for Jack that he will never admit too. But as time goes on, feelings start to grow to a burning point, feelings Jack nor Alex thought possible.
