Barricade

It was dawn and Gerard was nowhere to be seen. Had he bailed on me now. Run off with his girl that I believe his is now engaged to. Of course he had he clearly wanted to keep her safe, get married and have kids. To live life by the book. I was going to do this with or without him. He shouldent let his love life get in the way of the most important day of the area's history. The barricade was built and I had given the men the orders to be ready. There were empty houses all over the city. Why? Because they were all here to fight for what the believed in. Our freedom and today was the day we would get it.
