It’s my third time participating in the spn_j2_bigbang. I wasn’t sure I was going to enter this year, after the story I posted last year I didn't think I could find something as emotional and special to write about. But a trip to New York City last august changed that belief, and when I visited a very special place, I got instantly inspired. I wasn’t sure I could pull it off, but after a lot of thinking, research, helping from friends and a few months of total dedication, I have my new baby, which I love very, very much and I proudly present a sneak peek now:
Wake Me Up When September Ends
“We are born in one day. We die in one day. We can change in one day. And we can fall in love in one day. Anything can happen in just one day.”
It started out as a regular Tuesday morning in New York City. The sun was bright in the sky when at 8:46 a.m., a plane crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. 2,606 people died in there that day, but there were also survivors.
Jared and Jensen meet for the first time in a night that hadn't gone so well for either of them, and build an instant connection. An unplanned second encounter happens while a building is threatening to collapse on their heads, and an impossible choice has to be made.
The attack leaves deep scars, both physically and mentally, and they are going to learn that the hardest part wasn’t surviving September 11th. Finding the strength to keep living in the aftermath of what that day caused is what proves to be the real challenge, especially when the light at the end of the tunnel seems impossible to reach.
