If it is true that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results", then Alex had been living in insanity her whole life.
Alex feels like she as been going through the motions for way too long. Like she had been stuck living as a supporting character in someone else's story-- often playing roles like the less attractive friend, the older hardly-present sister, the annoying younger sister, the girl you go out with before you meet the love of your life. Feeling like an extra in your own life is not fun, but she realized that there is only one constant in her predicament and it was her.
If anything was going to change for her, she would have to change. So she made a resolution: to do the things she won't normally do.
It was when she started on this quest to push herself to do things she normally wouldn't that she meets Harry. An awkward chance encounter that quickly grew into an undeniable attraction. And Harry, with his outrageous stunts and youtube popularity, that something Alex would've never thought she'd go for.

Anxious [H.S]
"Why are you asking me these questions?" I say, I can feel a panic attack coming on. I close my eyes taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out. I don't care how stupid I look. I don't want to have a panic attack in front of him, I've never had a panic attack in front of anyone before. "Well I can tell how anxious you are," he states, pointing to my shaking hands. "And I thought maybe I can help distract from whatever is making you so nervous. Are you like this all the time or is it just me?" he continues. "No, trust me it's not you, I'm like this all the time," I say, my voice now shaking. I feel like I could cry. ~ ~ ~ Leah Davis is a very anxious girl.

I Love You Alex Gaskarth(Jalex)
Alex is your typical high school kid. He isn't exactly popular, but he gets good grades and has some pretty great friends. Then one day, a new kid comes to school and he will change Alex's way of thinking, forever. Jack is the new kid in school, well the new kid in town. He moved here with his mom to get away from his problems and his old high school. Will Alex help Jack face his fears and get rid of the problems that haunt him, or make them worse than before? It was simply by coincidence that these two met. Alex and Jack will change each others lives, but the question is, for the better or for the worse? ----- I, of course, don't own anyone from All Time Low! (No matter how much I wish I did!) Everything written in this story is from my own mind, none of this actually happened. I also do not own any songs, items, or places that might be mentioned in this story. However, I do own this story. *Warning* Possible Smut and Self-Harm! Also if I make any spelling/grammar mistakes I'm very sorry. I'm not going to go back in and fix everything. I'm just way too lazy for that. Hope you enjoy it anyways! :) ©2015-2080 *2018 Update Note!!!!* This is the first story I ever wrote. It's crap, I honestly think it's crap. Some people like it, some people love it, I personally don't. The chapters are short and I'm sure there are tons of mistakes, but I re-uploaded it anyways because I was asked to. This is your warning. ^.^Complete

A girl with no house, no past, no place to belong. All she had was herself and the mystery that lingered about her existence. She's forgettable, unable survive in Hogwarts with her timidness, and too focused on trying to remove any sort of attention on herself. She's just not interesting to them and it allowed people to say whatever they wanted to say about her. You can even say that she's just another background character in the sea of Hogwarts students. Unfortunately for her, her desperation for trying to move herself from the spotlight only intrigued some people. They wanted to know who she was, they wanted to know what makes her tick, they wanted to know what makes her smile, they wanted to know how she survives, they wanted to know if she reciprocates love, They wanted to know how to break her.
