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

Chapter 19

It was just like anyother day trying to help your fiance, but he was always being stubborn.

"Damnit Erik, why won't you let me help you that is the second cup you broke." You say picking up the shards of the porcelain cup.

"I am sorry my angel, I just don't want to seem hopeless." He says pouting.

"Your not hopeless, you just need to let me help you." You smile kissing your soon to be husband. You looked into his glassy eyes , they were now a bright blue due to the acid.

"Looks like we are low on food I shall get some." You say giggling as you see Erik pout.

"I'll be back." I say grabbing my coat and a few francs.

"Love you." You  kiss Erik's head.

"I love you too." He smiles and lets go of your hand. You run up the stairs.

"Y/N." You hear Madame Giry's voice.

"Yes." You look to her.

"I have an audition to an opera that I think you will love." She handed me the music sheets.

"I'd love to, but you know Erik is blind and he needs my help." You say looking to the mirror.

"He's not completely hopeless." She starts walking away.

"Okay, I'll try out." You get red.

"Good choice my dear." She walks through the hall. You walk outside of the opera house and look for some shops. You start down a dark ally trying to get a short cut to the market. You saw a woman with a black bun and you go to talk to her to get some directions.

"Bonjor." You say.

"Hun." The woman looked at you with her brown eyes.

"Parlez-vous francas?"
(Translate: "Do you speak French?")

"Are you speaking to me?" She asks in a Britsh accent.

"Sorry, do you have directions to the nearest market?" You ask.

"I do not, I am looking for the market myself." She says.

"Well maybe we can help eachother, by the way what is your name?" You ask.

"I'm Amy, and sure, I think there is a market a few miles I'm not sure." She says. We walked around a bit and finally found the market.

"Well it was nice meeting you." You smile.

"Nice meeting you too, hopefully we run into eachother again." You wave goodbye.

"You too." We separated. You got some food and headed to the opera house.

"I am glad I ran into you, you will be audition by singing." Madame Giry says.

"No, I do not want to sing. Do you have a dancing part because I will not sing." I say.

"Well Christine could do it I guess." She says.

"Je vous remercie." You bow you head.
Translate: Thank you

"Looks like Erik is teaching you French well." She says.

"Acctually, I have been studying it for years, but Erik does help me." You walk away. You run down to the lair, but you got cramps.

"Baby, right." You slow down.

"I took you awhile, what was keeping you?" You saw Erik at the bottom of the stairs.

"One how did you get over here and two I was backed up." You say. Erik shot me a glare.

"You act like I can't do anything on my own, I am blind but not hopeless remember." Tears appeared in his glassy eyes.

"I.. I know, please don't cry." I say.

"You act like I am completely hopeless, usless even, I thought you loved me!" He yells tears flowing out.

"I do love you, I am sorry ,it is different now that your blind. I am terrible, I should just go home. Here is my ring." You hand him the ring.

"No! I...I love you, I don't know what got into me! Please don't leave, your the only person that ever truly loved me." You looked to the masked man trembling before you.

"I am no good." You walk into Erik's chest.

"Is this one of your mood swings?" Erik chuckles. He puts the ring back on.

"I feel like crap." You say.

"You should lay down." We hop on the boat. He sings a sweet song to me, I didn't want to fall asleep just yet.

"Come lay with me." I tug him into the bed.

"Let me take off my vest and coat." He works on the buttons on his vest. He finally takes them off and lays with you.

"Je t'aime." I snuggle with him

"Je t'aime aussi." He kisses my forehead
