alex barakat dawson gaskarth high jack jalex low rian school time

Jack is the dork in his class at school. He gets his head down and tends to stay out of other people's way - minds his own business, really. He gets teased because of his big nose, because he's tall and too skinny, wears the wrong clothes and doesn't fit in, and he isn't the most popular kid in the world.
Alex, however, Alex is the complete opposite. Mr. Popular, thinks very high of himself, he's a bit sarcastic and gets all the good grades without even trying. Everyone loves him, and he loves himself.

What will happen when Jack realises that he has the biggest crush ever on Alex? Two different worlds collide. They say opposites attract, but is that really the case?All Rights Reserved

Ready To Run (Jalex) by frnkwaiero

Alex had enough. Enough of everything. So he decided to run away from his broken past in Britain, and on his way to a different country, he accidentaly met his light in the dark. "And...what's even your name?" the boy asked. "Uh-I'm-I'm Alex. Alex Gaskarth." he quietly stuttered and shifted a bit, then carefully looked up at the boy with glossy eyes. "Well I'm Jack, Jack Barakat. And I'm sticking with you whether you like it or not."

By Now - (Jalex) by alovelikejalex

(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. Warning: BUTT SEX. Sorry not sorry.

The Pledge (Jalex) by SanctionedHell

Here We Go Again {Jalex} by jstadrtyhdlm

High school was hard, but college is even harder. Jack's coping with his break up while also balancing all his classes and it's actually quite hard for him to keep up. But he has to study and keep his grades up to keep his scholarship. This was not what he had in mind at all when planning for college, but this was the hand he was given. It didn't look like he was winning this game. Alex's experience was almost the exact opposite. He was actually doing really well in the majority of his classes. He'd taken a liking specifically to his music class and also was reunited with a certain someone from his high school days. Things were steady for him, but some people just say it's the quiet before a storm. {Sequel to TMYLM}

It's All In Your Head (Jalex) by davyxxjones

High school might be worse than what goes on in Alex's head, until Jack shows up. Will their friendship last? Or will it be spoiled when Alex starts catching feelings?

Tell Me You Love Me {Jalex Fanfic} by jstadrtyhdlm

Jack's always hated Lisa. High school was shit enough without her. She was nothing but a cruel bitch to him when he was decent to her and he was sick of it. Being nice wasn't working. So, it was time to take more drastic measures. She won't feel so tough without her boy-toy next to her all the time. And Jack knew just how to wrap Alex around his pretty little finger. { Before some of you get mad about me using Lisa, I just wanna say I mean no offence, I highly doubt she's like this in real life, but for my story she is. She's just a character here. So don't be upset and I hope you like it. } ~Also this is a series with 2 out of (hopefully) 4 books published. So be sure to read the other part(s)!

I'm A Walking Disaster (jalex) by YeahBoy-DollFace

"Sometimes people just can't be helped, some of us are meant to die, drop it" Jack spat at me, I flinched at his words but my determination was stronger. I can and I will help him, without help he will never get out of here.. *** After Alex Gaskarth was hospitalized for his third suicide attempt this year his parents decided that it would be best for him to spend some time in the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs Hospital. There he has to share a room with Jack Barakat, who was possibly the worst person to room with due to his attitude, but when Alex discovers more about Jack and why he was there he begins to feel different towards the boy he was told to stay away from. Will Jack accept Alex's help and encouragement? Or will he shut himself away from Alex and refuse anything to do with him? Is what Alex feels towards Jack more than just the need to help him? (Trigger Warnings will be listed on the first chapter)
