Book one | I've promised myself one thing, and one thing only in life. "No matter how bad or how good things get, they will eventually come back to the middle" This is the quote that I live by and nothing can change that. Or...that's what I thought. Until I met him...

As soon as I get into the bathroom and see myself reflected into the mirror, flashbacks come to my mind. Last night I got myself into a fight. I see a bruise has started to form around my left eye. I've also got a wound on my head, the blood is already dry, that must be why the pillow is stained. Fuck. I must call Abel, he will surely remember at least more than me. I go to my bedroom again and look for my mobile phone, the battery almost run out. But it has enough to make a call. Of course, he doesn't answer. He must be sleeping off. I take a pair of boxers and an old hoodie and sweat pants and get into the bathroom. The T-Shirt I'm wearing just stinks. As soon as I take it off, the silver chain I always wear makes a little noise. I think of her.

Ed and Madison want two different things. Madison is a straight A student who's never smoked a cigarette or skipped class, while Ed can't be bothered to attend school half the time. Through words of encouragement and a hint of bad influence, he takes her places she'd never go on her own, while she finds herself helping him through his own bottled up demons and lack of self-confidence. Ed struggles to find happiness and love and with a little bit of hope and a handful of wishes, he might actually have what it takes to find success.
