00:01When I first woke up that morning, I had no idea what happened.
00:05I woke up around 7 with a terrible toothache, so I called my dad, who is a dentist,
00:10and he asked what I should do.
00:13He told me to take Advil, so I did, and I went back to sleep.
00:17I was still out of it and still didn't know what happened.
00:20If I had known, I, of course, would have called 911 right away.
00:24I still carry so much regret and guilt for not knowing what had happened and not calling right away,
00:30even though I understand it wouldn't have changed anything,
00:33not even if the paramedics had been right outside the door.
00:42I was so frantic that morning and scared to death not knowing what had happened.
00:48And when I made the 911 call, I couldn't even get out the words.
00:54And from then on, I don't remember a thing.
00:57It was like my brain wiped that whole memory.
01:01That was the worst day of my life, and I know it always will be.
01:06While I was still in shock, trying to process the fact that my friends were truly gone,
01:18I had been attacked by the public.
01:21I was grieving, numb, and unsure of what had happened.
01:25It was even real.
01:26And at the same time, I was getting flooded with death threats
01:30and hateful messages from people who did not know me at all
01:34or know the dynamic of our friendship.
01:37Social media made it so much worse,
01:39and strangers made up stories to entertain themselves.
01:42The media harassed not just me but also my family.
01:45People showed up at our house.
01:47They called my phone, my parents' phones,
01:50other family members' phones,
01:52and we were chased while I was still trying to survive emotionally
01:55and grieve the loss of my friends.

02:36He took the light they carried into every room.

02:45He took away the ability for me to tell them that I love them
02:49and that I'm so proud of them.
02:54He took away who they were becoming
02:56and the futures they were going to have.
02:59He took away birthdays, graduations, celebrations,
