In highschool, a young Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat face the hurdles of life; Homophobia, abuse and more. This fic will maybe frustrate you - but what's a good story without a little fun and games?
Will Alex and Jack end up bracing their love, or will it all turn to ashes and dust?
Alex's Intro
When I was a boy, I used to ask my dad why aunty Maura and uncle Kevin weren't married, and he would always answer me; "Alex, have you ever seen a cat marry a mouse?" It seemed like a stupid, quite low humoured, joke when I was about 9 or 10. But when I finally turned 13 I had figured out that what he was trying to say was: "never marry a woman the complete opposite of you. Or else you'll probably be signing divorce papers before you can say 'I do'" so I've been trying to live by those rules by my whole life. So far I've done nothing to prove my father right.

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
You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex)
-COMPLETED- - trigger warnings in first chapter "Let's get to my house, we need to get you warm," he says. I look at him, and he's soaking wet. He's only wearing a short sleeve shirt with skinny jeans, since he gave me the sweatshirt he was wearing. I felt bad for him, but at the same time, he looked so perfect. The way the rain was dripping off his hair and chin, the way his wet shirt clung to his body, the way he was looking at me- all of it. Every part of me is aching to kiss him, just once, but I know I can't. He's perfect, but he's as straight as can be. === Ex best friends. That's what they were. Everything changed once Alex came out as gay to Jack, pushing them from best friends to strangers with memories. But, when Alex goes to extreme measures to end his pain, will Jack come back into his life? And even if he does... will they be able to be around each other without their world crumbling around them? -=+=- I've sprinkled quite a few All Time Low song references not only in the titles, but in the text hehehe Started: Nov. 13, 2019 Finished: Dec. 1, 2019Complete![A Love Like War (Jalex) [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/49592608-256-k843265.jpg)

TW: Self harm, suicidal thoughts. Note: Smut, fluff, all the good stuff. A Jalex fic. Alex is in love with this black haired boy with the blonde streak in his hair.

No band. Just Alex and Jack as themselves. This story has nothing to do with real-life Alex and Jack, or their band All Time Low. This is simply just a story. I did change the time this story is set in, because I realized that I can't go forward when I don't know what's happening in 2020, let alone 2021. So, it's now 2017. Either way, story doesn't change.Complete
