"Please, just stop talking to me!" Alex said fiercely to Jack.
"I'm sorry..." The younger boy whimpered.

Jack Barakat. He's 18, anorexic, alone, unassertive and submissive. He'll do whatever anyone tells him to do. It's his nature, though. He wants to please people. 

Alex Gaskarth, on the other hand, is a fierce 19 year old, never willing to back down, even after being diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Alex has been through a lot, and so has Jack. That's why they're both at a mental hospital. 

Jack can't seem to shake his past and his anorexia, while Alex needs to learn to control his anger and his panic attacks.
What neither of them know is that they can repair each other. What happens when their personalities clash? Will they ever be able to find their true selves?

You Keep Me Safe (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- I wasn't wanted or needed by anyone, and I knew that far too well by now. There was nothing left for me in the cruel wrath of life until I found everything in the deep brown eyes that belonged to a tall, sensitive boy by the name of Jack Barakat. The night that I thought would be another boring, sad chapter of my story ended up being the beginning of a whole new one. He kept me safe when not even my own house could. ==+== Told in Alex's POV. Trigger warnings: anxiety, abuse (verbal/physical), cussing. Disclaimer: This is partnered with "You Keep Me Sane" (which is not completed), but you do not need to read the other one before this one, or the other way around. It's the exact same story in another perspective. Started: Dec. 18, 2019 Finished: May 26, 2021

Teenage Nightmare (Jalex) by januarygloom__

17 year old Alex has a little secret and a dark mental history. He has a three month old daughter with a girl he drunkenly hooked up with. She's a secret to the entire school, since the baby's mom goes to a different school. Alex isn't ashamed, he loves his baby girl more than his own life, but the entire school doesn't need to know his business. Why should they? They relentlessly bully him enough for being gay. Why would he tell them anything else? Give them ammunition for more bullying? No. Definitely not. His two friends know, and that's it. That's all who needs to know. Until he meets Jack. Until Jack nags him so much to go out. Until he finally cracks and says yes. Until the baby's mom gives up and gives her to Alex to raise on his own. Until Alex's world falls apart. What happens next? Let's find out. This fic will contain some homophobic slurs, panic attacks, manic episodes, hallucinations, possible self harm. I will include trigger warnings. I update quickly as I have a lot of free time, so you might get a bunch of new chapters in a row haha. Read at your own pace.
