Chapter Four...
  He was right. We would have to fight. We had to fight for our houses, for our family pictures, for our loved ones, for the people who couldnât fight, fight for ourselves, fight for our freedom.
  I knew this was coming, but I never thought it was coming this soon, and this fast. Since yesterday, weâre at war.
  I remember when I was in school, learning every type of war. Especially world war one and world war two. The war meant to end all wars, a war that killed millions of people. A war that did not stop this third world war.
  Surprisingly, this is not the fact that weâre in a war that was scaring me down to my bones and deeper. It was the fact that I was somehow fighting against the man I love.
  âYou have to understand, I donât choose to do this, but I have no other choice.â
  âYou were the one who told me that we all had a choice! Why do you do this? Why do you give up on us like this?â
  âThey are threatening my sister!â
  âYour sister is not safe, whether you fight for them or against them. None of us are safe.â
  "Iâm sorryâŠâ
  Remember when I talked about Thirteen Reasons Why? How saying sorry can be meaningful and tore a heart apart? Well, now I do understand Clay and Hannah. Iâm sorry too, Davin. But if you fight for them, it means I will have to fight against you.
  My weapons are my words, but words are useless in front of ignorant. Davin was right; we have to act on the opponent in front of us. And I know the opponent in front of me. I know him better than he knows himself.
  Today Iâve cleaned the whole place. I set my stories in order of dates, finished everything I had to do. There is only "Sad Storiesâ left.
  Iâm afraid I wonât be able to talk about the books I read, as I donât think Iâll be able to read again in a long time. Iâm not even sure Iâll be able to read again. So here are some of my favorite books:
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
The Notebook - Nicholas Sparks
The Lucky One - Nicholas Sparks
Before I fall - Lauren Olivier.
  Those were the books I wanted to talk about on Sad Stories. Please read them and cherish them as much as I do.
  Iâve been writing Sad Stories in secrets. We no longer have the right to write, read, or do any of this as it would stop us from working or fight for our side. So if somehow this book gets out and has only four chapters, please know that I never meant to stop it at four episodes. If it ever happens, know that someone made me do it.
  All days are pretty much the same, you see and hear terror on each street. But today, today was different. Most of the time I hear about what happened and write an article on it and call out for a revolution, on a fight back, call out to the nation to fight harder.
  But today I became more than a writer. Today I became an eyewitness.
  Like every Wednesday when my paper appears, I go out and distribute it to people walking. I was walking on 44 Shirley Ave.
  West Chicago. Everything was different from what it used to be. The West Chicago High School doesnât look like a school anymore.
  The beautiful surrounding of the greener grass ever and a path of pebbles that leads to the door, the trees on each side of it making the front of the school look almost dreamy. And this big black door that makes it look like itâs a kingdom and not a high school.
  All of this is gone, the trees are on the ground, the grass is no longer here, the door is inside the school, broken by the Supremacyâs soldiers that got in.
  When I walk in the neighborhoods, I no longer see these amazing gray, black, white, brown houses. I no longer see the playground where children used to play with their best friends. I no longer see the welcoming porch, the flowers that were on it.
  All of this is gone. This one beautiful gray house has burned down today. But this is not the worse thing that happened when this house burned down.
  I mean, when a house burns down itâs still an awful event. You can only imagine when the couple that lived here moved in it. How much economies theyâve spent to be able to afford this house, how many dreams they had to give up to realize this one and how they got excited when they found out they were going to be parents.
  But in this world, you can only imagine how they felt when they found out that when their house burned down, their five years old son burned with the house. You can only imagine how the mother felt. Well, for my part, I did not have to imagine it. I heard it. I listened to the scream of the mother; I listened to the thousands noâs of the Father, I saw their faces when theyâd been told that their whole life has burned down with that damn gray house.
  I was there when the mother called out for her son, pray for her son to come out of this house. I was there when they both died at the same time as their child.
  At this moment I realize that this war was doing more than destroying a high school, more than killing trees, more than burning down houses. Sure, Iâm not stupid, I know people die in wars, but take a minute to think, do you truly, really, deeply, realize that mothers, daughters, sons, fathers, brothers, and sisters died? You acknowledge it, but you donât realize. You canât, not until you go through a war and hear the cry of a mother.
  Because trust me, the cry of a mother is louder and worse than an atomic bomb.
