Rose Buds Don't Last Forever (Phantom x Reader)#Wattys2016

Chapter 6

You wake up to the bright light coming from the window 2 beds down from you. You sat up and rubbed your eyes, you didn't want to get up, but eairly rehersules meant eairly mornings. You got up and greeted Christine and Meg.

"Good morning." Meg was a little to jumpy.

"Morning." You bowed your head.

"Morning, Christine." You turned to Christine and greeted her. Christine smiled and went to get breakfast. Honestly you missed having bagels and tea with your mother. You missed her dearly and she missed you. You went to the breakfast table and started to talk with Christine.

"So, are you excited to find out what we are rehersuling?" You look at Christine.

"I guess, Carlotta is playing the lead." Christine rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, she is like the worst!" I look into Christine's brown eyes.

"I know, but she will blow up if she is not the lead." Christine looked into her half eaten breakfast.

"Erik will not enjoy that." You bit your lip.

"No body listens to him, I don't really want to see what he'll do." Christine got up and walked out side. You followed her, and when you got outside a puff of smoke hit you.

"Christine." You spoke in hoarse voice. You saw her by you siting in a corner.

"Are you all right?" You look at her. Her face was red with tears, you saw a cigarette fall from her hand.

"I miss him." Christine cried.

"Who?"

"My father, he died." Christine got up and brushed her skirt off.

"How long ago?" You gave her a hug.

"Well it would be 9 years ago." Christine headed for the door.

"I'm sorry." You followed after. You two just got there in the nick of time or else you would be late and Mademe Giry does not like that very much. Mademe Giry gave us our instructions and we did it, occasionally someone would mess up and we heard the horrific sound of Mademe Giry's cane hit the stage.

"Y/n keep your back straight!" You did what was demanded and straightened your back. After a day off practcing you went down in the dormitories of the Opera house to find Erik once more.

You came to a lake, a figure came into view. You see it was Erik.

"What do you need?" He said sternly.

"Well, I wanted to see you." Your eyes sparkled.

"Your bluffing." He sighed.

"I am not." You smile.

"No one would visit someone like me." Erik smirked.

"Well your wrong, you have someone right here." You point to yourself.

"Clever, come." Erik gestured you to follow him and you did. You got on the boat and you were back to the place you saw before. Erik helped you onto shore.

"This is beautiful." You say.

"You think so?" Erik smiled.

"Now may I ask what lies behind the mask?" You look at the man. He froze and his smile faded, he slowly turned and faced you with his blue green eyes.

"No, end of conversation." He looked at you with hate in his eyes.

"Why!" You yelled.

"It is none of your business." He spit. You look down at your damaged hands and thought, what is he hiding?
