Love never dies

Chapter 3 : is it a dream ?

Erik's POV

Is this true ? Am I dreaming ? What is this feeling ? Christine is here . Here beside me . Sleeping soundly right beside me . The place she always meant to be . Oh Christine , you are so beautiful . Last night was amazing . She was amazing . Everything about her . We are both naked under my blanket and she is sleeping soundly under my arms . How could she love me ? Love my face and my lost soul . Oh Christine .. I look at her face , staring and I can't seem to stop smiling . She told me she love me . Does she mean it ? Or was she just feeling jittery because she's getting married today ? I thought for awhile . Damn it she is going to leave me again aren't she ? Oh god how stupid I was . I feel so ashamed . What have I done ? I must leave now before she wakes up .

I got up and get dress . I have to leave . I couldn't bear to see her leave me again . I couldn't bear to see her scared face when she actually sees my face . Last night was dark she probably didn't see my face and just go on with it .

She chose Raoul . She couldn't love me . She love Raoul not me . Why would she love me ? I'm ugly and has nothing while Raoul is so princely and rich . I do not want to curse her life by making her stay with me . Oh Christine, I love you so much ...

I left a rose next to her and whispered a goodbye . I cried so hard but I know this is what I have to do . For her sake and mine . Maybe being together will just hurt her . Goodbye Christine . I love you . Always . I left and went out to search for Madame Giry and Meg since they promised to bring me away from France .

Christines POV

I woke up because I felt light shining through my eyes . Then I remember yesterday . Oh how amazing yesterday was . I cannot wait to tell Erik how much I love him and that I will marry him . I got up and look beside me . It's empty but there's a rose with black ribbon on it . I pick it up . The room is so quiet . What is the meaning of this ?
" Erik ? Erik where are you ? " I started to panic . No it couldn't be . Did he leave me ?
" Erik , it's not funny . Where are you ? "
I gathered my clothes and walk around his lair to find it empty . I broke down on his bed and cried .
" Erik my love .. you left me just like that .. " I cried so hard .

Oh god what am I to do now ? I'm so lost and confused . Erik please come back . I need you . I could not get my mind straight . I'm still hoping he would come back . So I wait . Hours gone by and it's already 8 am  . He's not coming back . Oh god I'm so stupid . How could he ? I feel used . Right now I need to figure what am I to do ? Who can I go to , for help ? Wait I'm suppose to get married today . I have no choice . I have to go to Raoul .
