CHAPTER 12

Because he was anxious, he couldn't sleep at all that night. He was at the family court house by seven; he wanted to be there early. The reporters were earlier than him; they all wanted to film the whole thing apparently. They wanted to see for themselves whether Emmie was going to show up or not. His mother brought him a bottle of water for him to drink.

'Thank you,' he said as he took the bottle.

His mother had been a great support for him and she kept on assuring him that she was going to show up. He was so nervous that he didn't know what he was going to do if she didn't show up. The clock strikes eight and there was no sign of her. The people were staring to talk among themselves; he could hear some of them saying that she won't show up. It wasn't the reporters only but some of his fans had taken it upon themselves to come and witness this special day of his.
