"You don't know what you've got till it's gone"
Those words echoed through Nora life. The scars lacing her skin had not only killed apart of herself but destroy everything she loved, including losing a certain Jack Barakat.
*Warning* this story contains triggering themes, please do not read this if you are one of the people who are set off by talk about self harm and suicide . I do not want to be held accountable for any one hurting themselves and I will add links to help lines at the ends of chapters if it feels necessary.

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.

Ghost Of You (Jalex)
-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.Complete
