Little Phantom on Adventure

I forgave him. I needed it.

Emma's P.O.V

I had forgiven him. I really had needed it. I had forgotten how nice it felt to be held, dad singing for me. I really had needed it. 

I sighed as I rolled over in my bed, dad's voice still echoing in my mind. But it was not a bad thing, not at all. 

I decided to get out of bed. Today I would confront dad about my friends' death. 

"Morning." I said as I stepped out into the kitchen, helping myself to some breakfast. 

"Good morning Mon Ange." Dad said from his usual spot by his organ. 

"What are you playing?" I asked him curiously, he smiled at me and patted on the bench, indicating that I should come and sit beside him.

"It's called The Point of No Return." He said, playing the first few notes. I realized I had heard it before.

"Where have I heard that before?" I asked him, maybe he knew where I had heard it.

"Uhm.... I'm not sure... Last time I played it was when your mother still was around...."

"Tell me about her"

"What?" He looked at me, confused. I had never asked him to tell me about my mother.

"Tell me about her... Please dad." I said, begging him, literally considering to get down on my knees.

"Okay then." That was easier than I thought it would be.

"Uhm... What do you want to know?" 

"Everything." I answered him.

"That a little much... But I can try." He coughed, standing up, walking towards the table.

"Her name was Christine Daaé. She was a beauty. Brown curly hair, brown eyes." He stopped himself, remembering her. 

"She sang like an angel.." He said, trailing off..

"I can't." He said, walking into his room.

Dang it. 

I still sat by the organ, so I began to play a tune. 

It was soft, and I knew it off by heart, I began to sing.

"There is a castle on a cloud... 

I like to go there in my sleep... 

not any floors for me to sweep... 

Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room thats full of toys!

There are a hundred boys and girls...

Nobody shouts or talks too loud!

Not in my castle on a cloud...

There is a lady all in white, holds me and sings a lullaby.

She's nice to see and she's soft to touch!

She says.. "Emma.. I love you very much..."

I know a place where no one's lost...

I know a place where no one cries...

Crying at all is not aloud.." I stopped myself since a sob had escaped my mouth.

The last line was barely a whisper.

"Not in my castle on a cloud." 

I stopped playing the organ. Breaking down on the chair.

I had no mother who said that. I had no friends anymore.

I definetly did not have a castle on a cloud.

*****

Awh.. I really start crying whenever Cosette sings castle on a cloud.
