deal with the DEVIL

7.

"What's the matter?"
Christine asked me. I took a deep breath and tried to speak, nothing came from my mouth but a sob. I fell to my knees, embarrassing of my actions.
"I'm so sorry angel!"
I cried out and looked at her desperately.
"I-I had to or else I-I would've never seen you again!"
"Erik. What are you talking about?"
She looked at me with narrowed eyes.
"I-I sold my soul-"
"Erik! You didn't!"
I nodded.
"Why would you do that!?"
"You died... And I didn't just sell my soul... I can no longer sing."
I whispered.
"He took away my ability to."
I sobbed again. I knew that was one of the things she loved most about me.
"I'm sorry Christine!"
"Erik..."
She sighed and got on the floor with me.
"I love you."
She murmured and kissed me, wiping the tears away from my cheeks.
"B-but I can no longer sing."
I whispered.
"You think that is the only reason I love you?"
She asked, a hurt expression.
"If that's how you think of me... Maybe you don't love me like I thought you did..."
She murmured and hugged her arms to herself. Did she really think that? I sold my soul for her! How dare she!?
"I sold my soul for you! And you don't think I love you!?"
"I know you do."
She said quietly, standing up.
"Just not as I thought..."
She sighed and walked out of the room.
