Christine's pov

I almost ran down to the lair were Erik was. He just got back from New York, he must be tired so I will not push him to say what it is that he now wants to say. I guess I'm just hoping for a miricale. I opened the door and Erik was standing in the music room by the lake. I don't remember it being so cold in here. With nervous steps I walked up to him. He turned around, being the phantom he hears every sound in the opera and my footsteps are not a surprise.

"Hello Erik" I said as kindley as possible. Of course he did the same thing. A silence fell over and Erik took my hand. Oh please God...

"Christine during my time in new York I did some thinking, maybe we were never meant to be in the first place. I'm not saying you should be with Henry or Raoul for that matter I just...." he stoped talking. He could see that I did'nt understand a thing of what he was saying.

"I will always love you and I could never hate you, I'm just very hurt by all of this and if we continue with us your son must stay here with us and I can't do that. I can't live with him for the rest of my life with only thinking of what you've done everytime I look at him."

My son, Henry. He is so beautiful and innocent in all of this. I know it's hard for Erik if he wants to fight for us.
Suddenly it klicked. That's what he came to tell me.

"Christine I want a divorce."
