Finding Love

Chapter 2

** Disclaimer: I don't own POTO**
Also, the picture above is what I imagine Rose to look like except her hair goes down to her lower back and it slightly curled.

Rose's POV
"What if she got kidnapped!? What if she got hurt!? What if she ran away!? What if she got kicked out of the opera house!? What if-" I flicked Meg square in the forehead to get her to shut up. "Meg I bet you none of that happened! She probably just went out with Raoul!" She rubbed the spot on her forehead and glared at me. "But what if something bad happened?" I heard a gasp before she continued "What if she died!?" I rolled my eyes and shook my head "Meg, for the last time, Christine is probably doing fine!" She huffed and continued searching for Christine, and I did the same. I searched everywhere in the opera house that I knew of, even in rooms we aren't allowed in! Raoul didn't even know where she went! Ugh! I sprinted to the room that I shared with Meg and Christine to see if she was there, or at least if there was a sign of her. When I got to the room, I found out that it was empty. I sat down on my bed and sang to let out some of my frustration. "Think of me, think of me fondly, when we've said goodbye! Remember me, once in a while please promise me you'll try! When you find that once again you long- Christine? Is that you?" A creak outside of the door stopped me from singing. Slowly I walked to the closed door and opened it. When I saw that there was nobody at the door, instead of going back inside and to continue singing, I headed to the Prima Donna room. I knocked on the door and Christine opened it. "Christine! Where have you been!? Meg and I have been worried sick!" I gave her a hug and she hugged back. "Come in. I can't tell you out here." She allowed me into the room, and looking around I saw what appears to be thousands of flowers! "So, what happened? Where were you?" Christine sighed, sat down and gestured for me to do the same. "Well, after the show......" she proceeded to tell me everything that happened after the show. "Oh Rose! His face is horrible! It hardly looked like a face!" Her head was in her hands, and tears stained her cheeks. I walked over to where she sat and gently took her hands in mine. "Shh. It's gonna be ok! Maybe you should go out with Raoul to get your mind off of it?" I must have said something wrong because Christine is looking at me like I grew a second head! "Rose, are you crazy!? You know how strict my Angel of Music is!" Now it was my turn to look at her like she's crazy. "Hmm... *gasp* maybe you and I could go shopping or something! That way the Angel of Music won't get angry!" I let out a sigh, she knows I don't really like shopping. "Please Rose? For me?" "Fine, I'll go with you instead. But if I seem annoyed, don't blame it on me!" We laughed and then I helped Christine change into a nice day dress. On our way out we saw Meg, all she did was flip out when she saw Christine! She told her how worried she was and stuff like that. We asked if she wanted to come with us, but she said that Madame Giry wanted her to stay and practice more. With that, Christine and I made our way to the shops.

Erik's POV
I'm such a fool! Why did I push her down like that!? She's never going to love me now! Especially since she's seen my face! 'No, don't say that! She will grow to love you!' I sighed at the little voice in my head. I continued walking around the Opera house until I came upon the fools that run the theatre talking with the vicomte, and that sad excuse of a singer. "Your days at the Opera Populaire are numbered. Christine Daaè will be singing on your behalf tonight. Be prepared for a great misfortune, should you attempt to take her place" After knowing that they got my notes, I walked away so I wouldn't have to listen to Carlotta whine anymore than she already was.
