Pairing: Jack Barakat/Alex Gaskarth Synopsis: “I’m Alex.” The other boy says, and smiles. Then he glances at Jack’s Marty Mcfly tee-shirt in appreciation. “Back to the Future? The cowboy one is so the best, man.” And that’s how it starts. (And it’s so, so not a love story. Not yet, anyway.) Somewhere in Baltimore, a couple of miles away, there’s a crash of thunder and the first of the rain falls, hard and fast.
