Let the Dream Begin

Phantom of the Opera x Reader Chapter 8 : Is this goodbye?

Reader's POV

After what seemed like forever I finally found my way out of the Labyrinth. I have NO sense of direction whatsoever, which does help sometimes. It is however a burden... I then said to myself,

"I talk about my no sense of direction like its a disease..."

I finally walked through the mirror and quietly closed it behind me. I changed out of my performance dress and into a (f/c) gown and a (s/f/c) cover up. I tied the cover up's string around my waist and looked at the mirror remembering the first time I placed my finger nail to test it. I looked pass the mirror and saw Erik. I shook my head while tears streamed down my face. I looked away and left the room.

Erik's POV

I watched her as she left the room. When she was gone, I exited the mirror and saw the red rose I gave her on a desk...

"It's... Wilting..."

I took it and placed a BLACK rose on the desk. I heard voices approaching and the door knob turning. I swiftly ran behind the changing curtain thing. I stayed quiet and listened... It was (y/n) and (best guy friend/crush's name). I sighed a took a peek at what they were doing. They were hugging... And she was crying. She kept repeating the same thing...

"You were right... I should have listened to y-you 2 years ago... I... I should have left with you... Christine was right too!! HE'S SO--"

She started coughing... I looked away feeling my heart break. Thoughts started racing through my mind... Horrible ones. I mumbled to myself,

"Should I just... Kill myself? Hang myself? Like I did to Monsieur Joseph...? I may consider..."

(A/N!! CLIFFHANGER!!! SOOO MY LITTLE KITTEN!!! What should Erik do? Do you want a happy happy joy joy fairy tale happy ever after? Or not? His fate depends on you! You have 48 hours to decide! Let the game begin...)
