Erik's POV

I was laying on the bed in my room. I was on my way home after two long days in America. I feel bad because I had to turn down the dinner invitation to the king and made Christine go alone. And then I told her it would just be for a day but turned out to be two. She must be mad at me but she knows me well enough that I always try to come home as fast as I can.

I could'nt sleep. I dreamed about that night. The night she got shot by Meg. It was my fault. I always puts her in danger even when I don't know it.

I remember her laying there in my arms. Her cold body holding on to me confessing her love for me as she took her last breaths. Turned out she just fainted because she lost so mutch blood. For the next week her life was holding on to a thin tread. Thank God she pulled trough it. It just left her a scar on the left side of her stomach. The doctors were not shore if she was going to bare children again because of it. We've tried before but without success. Maybe we'll have another one someday. She just wants to give me a child so that I can experience everything I did'nt with Gustave.

In my mind I return back to my dream. I sit in my cell and I lay on my bed covering my head and closes my eyes. I see a smoking gun and the coward I was for running and in my arms is the bleeding love of my life. We kiss and I wake up. I don't know what I would do without her.

Never thought I'd find the light again

Become lost in the dark and rain

And those skies they soon would clear

In my life now your here

Why am I falling?

Falling in love with you tonight

Why am I dreaming?

Dreaming that we could turn out right

I can't even resist, feel I only exist in your arms, in your arms

Close the door to what I used to be

Make it all a distant memory

Lost myself in the night but those wrongs you made right

Why am I falling?

Falling in love with you tonight?

Why am I dreaming?

Dreaming that we could turn out right

I can't even resist feel I only exist in your arms in your arms

Why am I falling, why am I falling?

Falling in love with you tonight.

I can't wait to get home. I know once I get there everything will be alright.
