They Told You To Stay Away (Jalex) by YeahBoy-DollFace

"It's okay, Jack" he whispered quickly, trying to offer some comfort. He'll never know how much I appreciate that from him. He'll never know. I can't ever let him know, and I can't let him get any closer to me. I have to let him go, and that thought alone makes me want to tear myself apart. *** Jack Barakat lived a simple life, with a simple schedule to go along with it, until he met a particularly destructive boy. Head over heels, he is desperate to be enough, resulting in a painfully escalating eating disorder that has him sent to the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs hospital, where he will meet Alex Gaskarth a year later. Alex, a self proclaimed walking disaster, puts it on himself to help Jack better himself so he can be released. Will his attempt to help make or break Jack? Is the eating disorder Jacks only problem? And is their relationship bound to become more? (Trigger warnings listed on intro chapter)

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.

We've got scars on our future hearts (Jalex) by hityawiththeonetwo

Alex dealt with self harm when he was younger, that's over now though- he's better, until he's not. Struggling with the idea of self harming as an adult Alex keeps the issue to himself, but living on a tour bus with your band there's only so long you can keep something a secret. Warning: Contains graphic descriptions of self harm

21 year old Alex is a unique person. His pronouns are he/him, but sometimes he was just flat out confused. 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 attacks

You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-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, 2019

New Kid On An Old Block by januarygloom__

Alex is the new kid at school. After transferring from his private school friendless and bullied, it was safe to say that he was terrified. He lived alone basically. His parents are great, but they're always out on business trips. He had no friends at his old school, he was just the one they made fun of. Alex has some issues of his own. Being alone and hated really takes a toll on someone's mental health. Things look up when he meets two guys in his new school. One of which is really cool and calm, and the other was adorable, handsome, flawless, perfect and funny. Maybe transferring wasn't such a bad thing. Maybe he'd at least have some friends. *Mature rating because I do talk of self harm and actively play out self harm scenes. I will post trigger warnings for those*
