All About Us - Phantom of the Opera Love Story

Stars

A/N: Sorry for the Shorter Chapter! This is part two for the dance! Make sure to R and R cuz, it's a doozy.

How did we ever get this far,
It shouldn't have to be this hard,
Now for the first time in my life, I'm flying

Are we in love? Do we deserve,
To bear the shame of this whole world
And like the night we camouflage, denial

Christine

The masked man walked right past her once the song was over and Christine wanted to run after him. Roman had grabbed her arm to stop her, but she pulled out of his grasp.

"Christine, what the hell was that?!" Roman exclaimed.

"I don't know, Roman, but I am going to go and find out," Christine attempted to tug her arm out of Roman's grasp, but he was strong.

"Christine, what about us? This dance was supposed to bring us closer, for us to get back together."

"No," Christine said she knew she had to break it off for good now; there was no way she could keep the charade anymore. Of course, she didn't want to lose Roman as a friend, but she had to do what was right and not keep leading him on.

"Roman, I can't do this, I just don't feel the same as I did over the summer. So much has happened in my life and..." Roman cut her off, "No, I've worked too hard to keep you, Christine; you can't just blow me off."

Christine eyed Meg to come over and she intervened. "Roman, just let her be, you secretly knew she wouldn't go back with you, I mean I knew. Let her be," Meg took the hand that held Christine's arm and slowly made him release her.

"I'll be right back, Meg, please keep him occupied, please. I don't want him to come looking for me."

Meg sighed and nodded her head, "Go do what you got to do, I'll keep him here."

Christine knew that Meg really did know what was going on, but was holding back because she didn't want to believe what she thought was true. Christine thanked her and ran out the double doors to the outdoor area behind the school.

Erik

He quickly walked away to the back of the school, the outside area where the students usually ate their lunches. He couldn't believe he just serenaded Christine in front of her entire senior class, not to mention the junior class. She must be so irritated and annoyed by him, but he didn't care. He had to show her that he was serious and that he would wait for her forever. He heard a slam of the back doors and hastily turned around to see Christine with her red face and eyes blazing.

"What were you thinking," Christine whispered loudly, walking towards Erik.

Erik couldn't take his eyes off her; the dress she picked was beautiful and enhanced her features.

"I wasn't," Erik answered, "I just wanted to express my feelings the only way I know how."

"In the song, in front of the whole school?" Christine was very close to him now; Erik could smell her perfume, the vanilla, musk that she always wore around him.

Christine sighed, "Well, I wish you just sang that song for me, while we were alone. I would have been more, agreeable if we were alone."

"Well," Erik started, his mask still on, "we are alone now, aren't we?"

"Yes, but we are at school," Christine said, "I can't do anything here. You know this."

Erik closed the space within them and moved one of Christine's curls behind her shoulder. He felt her shiver as he did this.

"Cold?" Erik took his arms, and wrapped her in them, bringing her close.

"No, it's just the way I feel around you, this is ridiculous." Christine huffed.

"Christine, come away with me." Erik breathed into her hair.

Christine

Christine froze at those words. Could she really go away with him?

"It would just be for the Winter Break, we are both off for two weeks. I want to take you away from all of the guilt you feel."

"What guilt," Christine stared into the golden mask's eyes, "I don't have any guilt."

"I saw the way you looked at that boy whilst I serenaded you. You feel guilty for making him upset. I don't blame you, I see how much he wants you, how much he loves you."

"It's hard, I know he wants to make what we have last, but the feelings I had for him don't compare anymore," Christine felt a tear leave her eye, "Erik, I don't know what this new feeling is, but I know it is a lot different than what I ever felt with Roman."

Erik gently cupped Christine's face in his. "Tell me what you feel when I do this."

Erik took one of his away from her face and lifted his mask, revealing his full, but scarred lips. He leaned down and gently pressed them against Christine's. Christine felt a wave of emotion flow throughout her entire body and release in a form of tears rolling down her face. The feeling also ran to her heart and she felt a pulling sensation, but it wasn't an uncomfortable feeling it was more like she wanted to be with Erik forever and her heart needed to be near his.

"Oh no, Christine..."

Both parties turned to see Meg standing by the double doors with widened eyes.

"I freggin knew it..."

A/N: I know it's a bit short, but I wanted to have this short and to the point. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter
