The last thing on Kal's mind was becoming a Christian. He was just not that kind of guy and definitely not cut out for that kind of life. But Kal was drowning. Between his mother's death, his father suddenly reappearing into his life, college, a pestering younger brother, a needy girlfriend, a zealous cousin and an overbearing aunt he just didn't know which way was up from down any more. All he wanted, no, all he really needed was a saviour to grab hold of his hands, and to help him take a well needed breath of life.
Author's note
This story is set in the island of Jamaica, which where I am from, so there will be a bit of dialect written into some of the conversations for authenticity. For passages I think will be really difficult to understand I will add footnotes at the end with translations so to speak... for those who understand what is going on just skip over the footnotes and continue enjoying the story.

Lonely Lost & Found
DISCLAIMER: In almost ALL chapters- Self Harm, suicidal thoughts, mental illness, smut...If any of this bothers you, be careful reading it please. Alex, a lonely 17 year old with a heart problem and a lot of anxiety is hated by nearly everyone in his school. It was stupid, he knew that, but his anxiety and depression told him otherwise. Told him that he deserved to be hated, truly. He still longed for a friend though. He'd heard a rumor about some stupid party that any other time, he wouldn't be interested in. However, for the sake of at least attempting to find a friend, he went, and he didn't regret going when a nice black and blonde haired boy struck up a conversation, and life was a crazy roller coaster ever since with the future completely unknown. A/N; I don't own Jack or Alex or All Time Low or anyone affiliated, I just like to write stories and use their faces and bits of their personalities in these writings. This is entirely fictional and my own writing. I also don't know exactly where I'm taking this story, but I'll be thinking of new ideas as they come to me and writing them out. PLEASE send me suggestions and feedback!Complete![THE CEO's SWEETHEART[COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/238874475-256-k111335.jpg)
