Christine's POV:

I feel like bursting inside. Erik is leaving me. Well, not physically, but emotionally. He starts to hide from me and won't let me touch him or kiss him. He just turns away, or stays hidden in his music room. I tried to go in once, but the door was locked from the inside. I called his name and I know he can hear me, but he doesn't answer. I slip out of my thoughts when I hear a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in!" I say as I secretly hope its Erik. Once again I am dissappointed. It's only Nadir.

"Christine...Are you and Erik okay?" he says gently as he sits on my bed.

For some reason, my brain decides it's time for me to cry. I start sobbing and Nadir takes me in his massive arms and rocks me. I start blubbering about my thoughts and how Erik is denying me...

"Nadir...why does he hate me? I love him so much, and I know I am a bitch for leaving him and breaking his heart so many times. Maybe he knows he deserves better. Sometimes I wish this disease would kill me so I can get out of this hell I'm living. Why is my life so hard? I was orphaned, picked on, and my life was misery, I can't have children, and I have to deal with Raoul bursting into my mind, and the one person I love is now pushing me away..." I sob harder and harder

Nadir rocks rocks me, trying to comfort me.

"Christine. I think you shoould talk to Erik... Ask him why is hiding away. I can do it for you if you'd like...You're not a bitch. The reason that your life is so hard is so you can go straight to heaven. You are doing all your suffering here on earth, because God wants you to be with him for an eternity."

I finally control my tears.

"Nadir, Erik has talked to me about having children with him, and yet he hasn't proposed to me yet. I'm almost afraid he won't... I was just wondering, maybe..."

"-I could. I could Christine...Erik might wonder though why I'm asking though, but Christine, your like a sister to me, so I will do it for you."

"Thank you so, so much." I hug him with all my strength.

"Now lets go find out when that marriage proposal will be..." and Nadir walked out of the room.
