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

Overall, he'd decided that he/him fit him best, despite the fact that his biggest secret lies underneath his clothes and inside his bedroom. He has a crush on the boy from the shop across the way from his shop in the mall, they'd been staring at each other, smiling and winking sometimes here and there, but neither of them had asked the other out, let alone introduced themselves. Alex wanted to pluck up the courage to do so, but what if this guy wasn't even gay? More importantly, what if on the off chance he was interested in Alex, he found out Alex's secret and hated him for it? TWs in advance: There is smut, plenty of it, as well as self harm, homophobia, panic attacksComplete

Some Kind Of Disaster
Alex is a fifteen year old boy who had the worst luck in life. He'd witnessed his parents deaths, he was bounced from foster home to foster home, but this was the last time. His torture was their entertainment. His pain was what they thrived on. Then it went way too far, and he ran. There was only one person he trusted, and it was the boy he met at school on his first day there. He barely knew this boy, but when he needed a friend, this sweet, raven haired boy told him the most important word that he hadn't heard in a long time. "You're safe." Safe was something Alex hadn't felt since he was a child, and even then, after the truth all came out, he realized he had never been safe in the first place. Jack was the boy's name, and Jack made Alex feel safe and loved. Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Jack or Alex, and this story is simply a figment of my imagination. This story will be told from both Alex's and Jack's point of view. Mostly Alex's though. I WILL ADD NOW, THIS IS GRAPHIC AND INVOLVES SELF HARM, ABUSE AND RAPE. Read at your own discretion. Time isn't really factor in this story, I was aiming at like 2008-2009 but it doesn't really matter.Complete
