Angela Serenity Day, Seventeen.

Everything was perfect. For the past couple months it had truly been blissful. Angela had started to date a boy her freshmen year, Jack, and they had been steady for three years. When she had first started to date him she was giddy. He was the smartest kid in their grade, his parents were rich, and he had looks. He was the perfect guy and Angela never understood why he bothered to date her in the first place.

Things for the adolesent couple were grand their first year of dating. It wasn't until Angela had started to hang out with other kids that Jack began to show his true colors. Angela would never have even thought that she would want to cheat on him. Yet he somehow thought that she was sneaking behind his back with the captain of the basket ball team sophmore year. It was completely untrue and the only reason Angela was around the basket ball player in the first place was because he had a crush on her friend Amanda. He was getting Angela's help to ask Amanda out.

Jack didn't take it that way. He only say Angela laughing with another boy and it made his blood boil. He had finally snapped when Daniel, the basket ball player, had driven Angela home one night. When confronted about it, Angela had only laughed at Jack's silliness. Being laughed at was humiliating for Jack, and so he had hit Angela.

At first Angela denied it. Jack apologized immensely after that and she believed he would never do it again, but she was wrong. Jack's jealousy and rage continued to fester inside of him and he began to hit her more frequently. Angela tried to leave him when he had broken her arm. Jack was good for about a month after that and convinced Angela to stay with him. When he began to hit her again Angela didn't know what to do. She knew Jack loved her and didn't want to hurt her. She knew he needed help and he knew it two. They both stayed in a silly denial.

Angela approached him about getting help which only angered him further. After that she had resigned herself to be stuck in a relationship that was spiralling downwards. There was no hope.

That is, there wasn't any hope until she found the book.

Angela hadn't known where the book came or what it was for. There was only one page in the book and it was blank. Even still she was compelled to keep it. She hung onto it until the Christmas of her junior year when Jack had come to her in the night drunk as a skunk. She was terrified and cried as he tried to force himself on her and was relieved that he had failed.

At that point Angela sat in front of the blank page and poured her heart out. She wrote down in the most simplest of words.

'I wish he would stop beating me and be the tender boy I know he is.'

As soon as she had written her wish, and a couple tear stains later, Angela lost the book. She didn't know where it got placed or where she had lost it.

It wasn't long after that that things began to change. Jack had stopped hitting her and was sweet on her once more. Angela could scarcely dare to believe it and was afraid to. When he continued his gentle manner she wondered if writing her wish down in that book had something to do with it.

Now summer was coming and Angela bolted from her seat the moment the bell rang. Jack was taking her out for the evening to celebrate their freedom. She was truly happy because he was normal again and she didn't see him turning back to his old ways. She didn't know why he had changed, nor did she care if he stayed that way.

Everything was perfect.
