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

Don't You Ever Let Me Go. (Jalex) by PierceTheVeilsSirens

On the first day of 8th grade Jack Barakat notices the new kid, soon to be known as no other than Alex Gaskarth. By just one glance at him from the crowded school hallway, Jack has come to the conclusion that he hates him already. Alex just moved to Baltimore and he already has all the popular kids wrapped around his little finger. How he managed to climb to the top of the popularity list is beyond Jack's knowing. All Jack know's is that he can't wait to be far away from the school, from the popular kids, and farther away from Alex as possible. But what happens when a thought gets planted in Jack's lonely mind? When Jack starts to question things, question himself even, things take an unexpected turn. Did he really want to be far away from Alex? His mind said yes, but his heart says other wise. Everyone always tells you to listen to your heart, but people who are wiser than him-insert sarcastic laugh here- like his mother, his teachers, ect. yells at him, "Use your goddamn brain Jack!" So now the skunk color haired boy has to make a decision. Should he take a chance with his thoughts, or should he just forget them and be left to wonder the ultimate question. "What could have been?" "FUCK OFF LEAVE ME ALONE!" Jack yelled, pulling at his hair, remaining in the corner. **I DO NOT OWN ALL TIME LOW, EVEN THOUGH I WISH I DID. I DON'T OWN THEIR SONGS, BLAH BLAH BLAH, THIS IS ALL FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, BLAH, THIS IS JALEX.** Sequel, You're All I Know, is added at the end of this story.

~Jalex~ Jack and Alex have been best friends since the beginning. What happens when Alex develops feelings? Or when Jack needs someone more than he ever has before?

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)

The Pledge (Jalex) by SanctionedHell

Jack Barakat has had enough of being upset with his life and is taking charge of his own happiness. He pledges to never revert back to his old self, and be who he truly is. Even if who he truly is attracts Alex Gaskarth, the asshole.

Redesign Me, State of the Art (Jalex) by emmatimelow

Meanwhile, Jack has some secrets of his own. He's content being a loner, but feels a strange pull towards the mysterious new kid Alex. Will they be good for one another, or ultimately destructive?

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}
