Charli prides herself on being an awesome big sister. As she nervously stands on the steps of her high school debating on whether or not she is going to enter she wonders if this is a fear that she should face. Some people are excited about their high school reunions and some people find themselves wondering if they really want to revisit some of the most difficult memories not only of their childhood but of their lives. As Charli stands in the middle of the gymnasium looking around the room once again wondering why she's there something catches her eye and she looks up, a banner. A simple banner with a list of names and a date that she will never forget. Charli has a twin brother Charles that she always committed herself to taking care of. But on this specific day their senior year of high school when a group of teenagers brought chaos into their simple lives, Charli, Charles and all of the students, teachers and administrators within their high school were forever changed. As she stands in the middle of the gymnasium at her reunion, she cannot help but to remember the last time she stood in that same exact place, feeling the wind in her hair as people ran past her, looking at the blood on her shirt, and wondering where her little brother was. With everything that was happening in front of her, there was never a moment when her focus wasn't on the responsibility she had to take care of her brother. Sometimes we forget there are situations that have been normalized in this country that no child or adult should ever have to fear or experience. A story of survival. A story of a simple list of people who exhibited unconditional love on the worst day of their existence.
