"All That You Are Is All That I'll Ever Need"
It was a bright sunkissed morning as the school's football team, "Hillberry High", defended their title against "The Tall Giants", their strongest opponent ever.
The match started, the crowd grew larger and larger. The excitement kicked in as our school scored the first goal. Not letting us down, they scored another goal.
The Tall Giants did not like the situation and started to discuss among themselves. Eventually, they started to physically attack our best player, Charles Hands.
However, we all knew they couldn't take him down so we rested with ease. After about five punches, Charles got up from the ground and brutally dislocated the fingers of the captain of The Tall Giants. Charles quickly but gracefully ambushed the remaining players sending them straight out of the ground.
However, despite saving the college's title, the Dean scolded Charles demanding him to send an apology letter to the Local Football Organisation and one addressed personally to him. The Dean exclaimed to Charles that he can either apologize or quit the college.
With his short-tempereness, Charles quickly addressed the secretary for a resignation form. After given the resignation form by Sally, the secretary, he only needed the Dean's signature for it to be accepted. Just a few steps away from the Dean's office, he noticed a new girl.
He quickly tore the resignation letter and disposed of it. Although he was short-tempered, Charles was the college's topper, a teacher and one of the best surgeon in the world.
This new girl has got hold of his attention, completely. He quickly arranged for his friends to find out her name. They revealed to him that her name was Emma. Being the college's most dominant male, he exclaimed to the college's population that Emma was his and anyone that tried to impress her would feel his wrath.
He ended up teaching her. He moved her to the front of the class and would stare at her immensely, giving her a smirk every now and then. Emma felt unhappy about the situation and brought her father. Charles opened up to her father first, in which he used his intellectual skills to somehow persuade Emma's dad into thinking he is going to take good care of her, like a "brother".
After a few classes, Charles approached Emma and asked what class she had after his. Emma exclaimed she had "Physics". He asked what topic and told her to come with him. Being the college's topper, she gave in.
He took her to a hill, ten minutes away from the college and taught her everything she needed to know for her upcoming class. This cycle continued for weeks until one day, after telling her she looked beautiful, he reached in and gave her a kiss on her cheeks.
She reacted very calm, which he was not expecting. Her friends started taunting her about being Charles's "love".
Although he was labelled the college's "bully", 21 year old Emma fell in love with him without telling him.
One day, Emma stepped on a piece of glass from a broken bottle. Her cut was very deep so he decided to take matters into his own hands, since he was the best of the best.
He decided that she is unable to move about so he will take her into his room where she can stay. She did not hesitate.
Although this was prohibited by the rules, the college's board agreed since it was a request by Charles Hands.
After giving her aid for the entire day, the two "lovers" reached in for a kiss. They eventually ended up on his bed where they made love for the first time.
This continued for a while until they realised that it was the end of their college life. They had to return home, with their family. They both flew back home on the same day. She went to her hometown, Ganda and he went to his hometown, Pardo. They were three villages away.
Charles eventually decided that Emma should meet his parents. She was greeted with open arms by Charles's parents and his brother. Now it was his turn. Upon meeting Emma's parents, he was rejected. They exclaimed that they are the ones who get to pick the boy Emma marries and that Charles is only using her since he is wealthy off. He told her to decide, either him or her parents.
He gave her six hours to respond.Charles went back home. After about 3 hours he saw no call. He decided to inject into himself Morphine plus alcohol. This placed him into a deep sleep.
When Emma came to go elope with him, she was greeted with a closed door. Charles woke up exactly 34 hours after injecting himself. He was told by his bestfriend Jay that Emma was getting married.
By the time he got to her house, she was already married to Parker. Emma's parents called the cops and they placed him out of the yard. He never saw her face again.
Soon after, he turned to alcohol. He drank alcohol like he drank water. He was named an alcoholic by many residents. This was affecting their family's reputation which ultimately led to his father putting him out of the house.
He ended up living with his bestfriend Jay. He abused the substance even more. He could not carry on with his life. He exclaimed that he cannot live without Emma. Ever since he and Emma separated, he couldn't find a single other female attractive. He got knocked off of his job since he was found drunk while performing a surgery. He couldn't control himself. He was going crazy.
On the 12th of November, 2016, exactly seven months since they separated, he saw Emma at the park. She was pregnant. He reached out to her and begged her to talk to him.
She exclaimed that she didn't want to speak to him since the day she went to elope with him, he wasn't there. He went on to tell her about his situation. He asked her if it is too late. He told her he still wants her. He exclaimed that he can speak to her husband if she wishes. He was ready to accept the child as his own.
She told him to get on his knees. She exclaimed that she left Parker two days after their marriage and was disowned by her family. She started to live with an old lady who found her on the street. She further went on to tell him that after two weeks living with the old woman, she found out she was pregnant. She started crying as she told him that he don't have any other option than accepting her baby since he was the father.
She claimed she was pregnant for him. They both ended up in tears as he happily said "I am going to be a father... We are going to be parents".
His parents reached out to him and exclaimed that they missed him. His parents decided that they should get marry.
During the wedding ceremony, Emma's parents walked in as they were filled with tears. They quickly apologized and begged for forgiveness.
On January 5, 2017 Emma gave birth to a baby girl, Tia. They named her after the old woman that took care of Emma for months while she was pregnant.
Both Emma and Charles started to work at DC National Hospital while their parents took care of baby Tia.
