The Party - Charlie's Story

"Poignant, well-paced and compassionate, Game Plan is an achingly real look at how two families cope when life doesn't go as planned." - Tish Cohen, bestselling author of The Truth about Delilah Blue and Inside Out Girl. This story is a companion to Game Plan.

Just because the play goes wrong, doesn't mean you quite the game. Ella Parker seems to have everything: great friends, an awesome family and a star position on her high school basketball team. The only thing missing from her life is a boyfriend. That changes when she catches the eye of Sam Cleveland. With Sam by her side Ella has it all. A drunken night at a Halloween party carries consequences that turn her perfect life upside down and she's faced with an impossible decision.

Charlie is at the party too. Ella is a best friend, a little sister, a partner in basketball and studying. When she appears in the kitchen in her Halloween costume, he can't shake the feeling that she's different. As Ella's night deteriorates, so does Charlie's.

Here's his side of the story.
