~Chapter 10~
"Um? Excuse me?" I looked back and my feet all of a sudden broke to a hault. "You heard me." He replied to me in a low, shameful voice and that bothered me. "You obviously don't mean it." I almost snapped but I tried my best not to. I wondered if he was joking. You know? 'Love you, not' type of thing. "Alex there is something you have to understand. There is a lot going on right now, I'm sorry I'm not the father a normal 14 year old would have; but you aren't a normal 14 year old, I want you to remember that. Please?"

He looked at me with his half smile when he thought he had a witty comeback. But he was dead wrong. I started getting annoyed; more then I was already. "Fine dad! Everything is about the war. War, war, war, that's the way it's going to be, fine." I took off and went around the city, underground of course. I was thinking in my spot and all of a sudden a voice calls out to me, it sounded familiar. Who was it? What was she Doing here? I knew this voice. No it couldn't be. Could it?
