For Better or For Worse

Chapter 42---Love Never Dies part 1

A/N: Heeeey! This chapter will be divided into four parts because there will be videos from the musical Love Never Dies. Love Never Dies is the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera.

If you didn't know that there was a sequel, well here you go! :D haha. Well even though you don't know the story of Phantom, you can get a few bits and pieces here.

To those who are obsessed with this like me......yes, of all Broadway shows, I chose this for a few reasons ;)

To those who can't view the video because you are on mobile, you can just read the lyrics and understand them because there are important moments and events that need special understanding there, there is always youtube, or you can borrow my DVD, or randomly find it on HBO haha.

To everyone who knows LND, if the lyrics are different from what you are hearing or watching at the side, it's okay because the LND cast on the vid is the Australian Casting (Ben Lewis, Anne O'Byrne...), some song versions I chose are from the original cast (Ramin Karimloo, Sierra Boggess...) and I won't be putting the whole play and every song. IT will make it boring and we all care about Carson and Monique, remember? ;)

Since this is a musical, here are the fonts...again so let's not get confused please :))

Bold-Carson(Phantom)

Italic-Monique/Mia(Christine)

Bold Italic-both

I hope you would all enjoy this chapter even though they are separated in different parts. I was excited to write all of these! Love, love!

Monique's P.O.V.

"...life may be fleeting, love lives on! Life may be fleeting...love lives on!"

An eruption of applause greeted me as I finished the song. I lost count on the number of times I re-did this song over and over in time pressure. Tomorrow is Opening Night as well as Critic's Night. Might as well hang myself in Joseph Buquet's place.

I was joking.

"Alright, that is all for today. I don't want anyone stressed out for tomorrow's shows. That's why I am dismissing everyone at seven rather than ten. I want everyone, and I mean everyone, to have eight hours of sleep, have nutritious meals, and out of harm." Kenny sounded like a school teacher and a father. Well that is what he is. Our father in this family.

Anne leaned over to my ear. "We could grab a few beers to celebrate." she winked at me.

I pointed at my throat and shook my head, leaving her with a playful pout on her lips.

Performers don't drink before a performance. Unless they are on crack or the like...

"...especially Monique, Cole, Peter, and Cara. I want you all in full performance level."

Wait now, what did he say?

"Yes, sir." the three said and I just gave Kenny a smile...okay?

I was waiting for my order at Jumba Juice when mom called me and all she called about was 'What color should she have her dress in?'. And it frustrated me a bit because here, the orders come in fast. So, I didn't know if they called my name or not.

"Mom, whatever color that is comfortable with you, I'm sure you'll look stunning, I promise." I gave my receipt to the barista and she gladly took it and placed my order in front of me. I showed her my pointer finger to tell her to give me a minute and she nodded and smiled sweetly as I turned around. "I have to call you back, mom. Give me fifteen minutes. Oh, and I'll be home for dinner to discuss everything. Love you, bye."
