I woke up the next morning by the Gustove shaking us in our bed
"Wake up wake up" he screamed
We sat up "why what's going on?"
He starts telling us "Cozzet is in the music room banging on the keys"
Erik got up immediately and ran to the music room to see Cozzet banging the keys "COZZET!!" She jumps from his scream he walks up to her and picked her up and set her on the ground almost throwing her
"We do not play the piano like that EVER!!" He says that so mean that I even flinched. she started to cry
"Go to your room!!" She stands up to go and turns around and try's to say she is sorry
"Daddy I'm...im sorry...."
"NOW!!!"
She jumps at his voice and runs out of the room and hits into me balling her eyes out I pick her up and take her to her room

"Cozzet you know better then to do that" I say in a whisper

She crys and says "i know I just wanted to write a song for daddy"

I stand up to go talk to Erik "I'll be right back" I walk down to the music room to Erik dusting his piano

"Erik don't you think that was kinda mean?"

He looks up at me "no I have told her to stop playing with my piano"

"Well you did not have to yell at her she's only a kid they don't know better like you said to me last night"

He thinks for a few moments I guess your right I'll be right back"

He walks down the hallway and into Cozzets room

"Cozzet I'm sorry I yelled at you but you know better then to play with the piano"

She looks at his her eyes are red from crying "I....I was trying to make a song for you"

Erik stated to cry "Cozzet I am so sorry please forgive me"
Cozzet looked up at we crying dad "it's okay daddy"

Erik looked at her "okay but please stay in your room for a little while you still disobeyed me" she sakes her head and Erik got up and left.

I was down stairs talking to Gustove when Erik walked in he looked sad
"Erik it's okay she's fine" I say while going to kiss him

Then we here someone clear there throat we looked at Gustove

"Mom dad can I go to a party tonight?"

"Who's party?" We ask just my girlfriends and some friends will be there please I'm 16 I should be able to go"

We laugh "okay but we have to meet your lady friend first"

He says "okay all excitedly and runs off.

"What should we do now?" I smile an whisper in a devious voice

"Let's sing" Erik picks me up and we go to the music room we sing songs from the opera days the in the middle of a song I stop

"What's wrong?" Erik asked

"Where's Tonya?"

We get up an run to her room she's not there ugh not again we run everywhere till we hear soft singing we went into Cozzets room to Tonya singing to Cozzet she was fast asleep in her arms we pick her up so Tonya can get up.

"Thanks you Tonya" Erik says

"No problem" then we hear a doorbell ring

Erik went downstairs to answer it. It was a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes she was about 5"5" she gives us a warm smile and says

"Hello Madame and Miousoure I am here for Gustove"

"Hello come on in" I say
Gustove came running down the stairs and came right up to her

"Okay since everyone has meet everyone lets go" they started to walk away before Erik stopped them

"No we have not meet her Gustove"

"Mom dad this is my girlfriend Sophia"

"Hello how are you today?"

"My day is very good thank you and what are your names please"

I was the first to speak "my name is Christine Daee" and I am "Erik destler"

"Nice to meet you"

Then an annoying voice in the corner

"can we go now"

We laugh "yes Gustove you may leave now"

When they left we heard footsteps behind us it was Cozzet

"How was your name honey?"

"Good"

Erik picked her up and whispered something in her ear she smiled so big he set her down and she ran upstairs

"What did you tell her?"

He smiles oh that we will teach her how to sing an play piano"

We ran upstairs and we thought her some easy songs on the piano and I thought her THINK OF ME and WANDERING CHILD. We sang for hours and Gustove got home and came to the music room

"I love her much going to bed night"

We laugh and we put Cozzet to bed and we went to our room and laid on out bed ready to go to sleep I was in Erik's arms when he says

"She has your voice" he says with a smile

"Yes she's not with the piano but she has a great voice"

"Erik I love you so much I cod never have a life like this with Raoul"

"I know Christine I'm just glad you came back to me"

He started singing music off the night and I fell asleep dreaming about our future together.
