Erik's pov
The time was here, my Christine was laying on her death bed, pale and cold. I held her close to me as she took of my mask and smiled and wispered into my ear. " promise me" she said, while she wiped away my tears. " I promise" she smiled and then slowly made me come closer.
Remember
Love never dies
Kiss me one last time
I kissed her softley and I swore I heard her wisper " I love you" before she died in my arms, again.
My heart broke and I rested my head on her neck. I could'nt tell how long I was laying there. I held her hand and kissed it. " I promise" I wispered. I will not let her down. The funeral was painful, I held Gustave's hand as he looked up at me.
Gustave needs a mother, but for now I will raise him on my own. The night's were awful, everything felt so cold and dark without her. I hear her singing in my head and I know that no matter were I go she will always be there singing song's in my head.
She will always be there singinng song's in my head...
I sat down looking up to the stars.
The day starts
The day ends
Time crawls by
Night steals in
Pacing the floor
The moments creep
Yet I can't bare to sleep
Til I hear you sing
And weaks pass and months pass
Season's fly still you don't walk trugh my door
And in a haze I count the silent day's
Til I hear you sing once more
And sometimes at nighttime I dream that you are there
But wake holding nothing but the empty air
And years come and years go
Time runs dry
Still I ache down to the core
My broken soul can't be alive and hole
Til I hear you sing once more
And music your music
It teases at my ear
I turn and it fades away
And your not here
Let hopes pass
Let dreams pass
Let them die
Without you
What are they for?
I'll always feel
No more than halfway real
Til I hear you sing once more!
I must stop hating her for dying too soon.
We did'nt even get the chance to get married.
After I thought she was dead, madame Giry arrived with some doctor's. They told me that she was still alive, but barley. She had a surgery, but they were close to loose her, considering of how mutch blood she lost. After a weak she was getting tired of staying in a hospital.
We return'd to Paris and I got her a beautiful little house outside Paris, were we could be alone.
She wanted to die, here in my home, in my arms. She got her wish, a weak later, I was watching her slowly fade away. Everyday, night after night, growing weaker. I just hope that she is at pease now, I know she is in heaven singing with her father and the other angels.
I have been a ghost, but this mask makes me still remember the Phantom I was and a Phantom never breaks a promise, even if he likes it or not. I am a man of my word, and Christine knew that.
I had a problem, I could'nt write music anymore, yes I did Love Never Dies but that was only beause Christine promised me that she would sing for me, and taht she told me that Gustave was my son.
My next problem was my son. Christine was right, he needs a mother. I should get a nanny, but how?
It's not like she is just going to nock on the door...
I froze at the sound of a door nock. I opened the door and there was a woman, a woman with a big smile, she was quite pretty. " Hello, I'm Cathrine and I'm here to be a nanny." she said, I guess they do just nock on the door's when you at least expect them.
"Oh, allright, I'm Mr.Y, come in" I said, she took her hat and coat of and Gustave was just starring at her and then I also realized she looked just like Christine. Oh, no not that too. I thought.
"Gustave, this is Cathrine and she wil take care of you while I'm at work. Catrine, this is my ten year old son Gustave" I said.
They both smiled at each other, but I could see taht Gustave wanted to hug her, because of how mutch she reminds him of his mother and how mutch she reminds me of my angel of music.
