Hey Jack. - Comments

  • Tears.

    I’m not much a fan of alternate universes, so I don’t like the high school setting in this story either. But that just personal of course. And just a minor detail. Because even though I don’t know Jack and Alex – or All Time Low in general – that well, I’ve seen them together. And the way you portray Alex’s feelings just feel so right! So true.

    This piece is written nicely as a whole, but my favorite part has to be the last few sentences.
    He’s tempted to plough the whole thing into the nearest building. But he doesn’t. Because he’s right; Jack doesn’t want to see him for a very long time.
    I very much appreciate the word doesn’t instead of wouldn’t in that last sentence. It feels as if Alex really plans to try and kill himself, but Jack makes sure he doesn’t. Like Jack is watching over him as some sort of guardian angel. I’m not much of a religion person myself, but I love the idea of loved ones looking over us, looking out for us.

    All in all, heartbreaking but so beautiful!

  • ... This is the first Jalex I've ever read.
    This is almost the most heartbreaking thing I've ever read.
    I'm blown away on so many levels and inspired on so many more.
    <3 I applaud your talent.
    This is amazing.

  • I just read this whilst listening to "The Only Hope For Me Is You" by "My Chemical Romance." The song mixed with this story has made me burst out into tears at how sad and depressing it is.

    The way you’ve written this gives me this whole empty feeling, just like how Alex most likely is. It’s not a bad thing, it’s a great thing. Really. But the emotion carried out and how everyone is just letting them deal with it in their own way really hurts, you know?

    The ending of this was just so heartbreaking. Alex loves Jack and he has all these suicidal thoughts now Jack's gone but he knows Jack doesn't want to see him for a very long time and everything. So upsetting and makes me cry the most out of this whole piece.

    Amazing Sav, just, amazing <3

  • Oh, right from the beginning, I started getting the feeling that something wasn't right, something was wrong. I tried to mentally prepare myself for this, but the ending just hit me, hard. I'm not even a fan of the band but this is definitely one of the best fanfics I have ever read. The emotion was really just incredibly intense. The way the story unfolded was just perfect, truly. The flashbacks, the way it was slowly revealed what had happened. And the detail was gorgeous too; the blue tulips, the picking bits of grass.

    The only mistake I noticed was when the old woman in the graveyard was thinking to herself, 'He shouldn’t be here, he’s still in high school. Much too young to loose someone.' It should be lose, but really, that was it. Otherwise, it was perfect.

    And that last line? Oh god, that was fantastic. That just left me reeling, really. It all tied together then, beautifully. Lovely, lovely job.

  • God, I nearly started crying at the end. It took me a while to figure out what was going on - I blame sleep deprivation - but when I did it all clicked and it was so sad. As usual, I love your writing. It's wonderfully descriptive, and Alex's dialogue is just heart-wrenching. You can just tell how broken he is because of what's happened, even at the start when he just sits down. It's amazing how you can convey that much emotion in that one movement. I also love how you've written it, with a couple of paragraphs in the present and a couple of paragraphs as flashbacks. It sort of mirrors Alex's stream of consciousness, how he'd be sitting there talking to Jack and remembering it all at the same time. I think it adds to the poignancy, as well. The ominous feeling slowly builds up until it's finally revealed - Jack's dead.

    In short, it's wonderful. And I absolutely love the last line. It's sort of bittersweet; Alex doesn't really want to go on without Jack but he knows he has to, for Jack's sake at least. And there's something... I don't know, poetic about that. Sort of hopeful. Anyway, whatever it is it's lovely and this whole fic was just heartbreaking.

    I like the story, you're very descriptive, and I could tell right from when Alex put the flowers down, Jack wasn't....there.

    Oh God I can't form any descriptive sentences, this is too sad :( :(
    Very well done though.
