Love never dies

Chapter 5 : move on

Erik POV

It's been a week since that night . I'm on a boat on my way to Coney Island in America where Madame Giry said we'll go . I miss Her . My Christine

She's probably happily married to Raoul right now . Probably glad that I left . Oh Christine .. I hope I made the right choice . I hope your happy right now , not having to see my hideous face anymore . I'm not going to be near you anymore . I gaze at the calm ocean as the sun slowly rise up and all I can think about is you , my Christine . Your voice ringing in my ear , it's like you are here with me . How I miss you , miss us and that night .

It's time to move on Erik . She's never coming back . I hope this Coney Island allows me to start a new life . A life where I don't have to hide anymore . A life where people are not afraid of me . A life where I can leave my past behind . Christine made me a man . The kiss she gave me the night I forced her to choose made me a man . I was a Monster , a liar , a murderer and yet she kissed me . It's like she's saying there is hope for someone like me to have a life . I had to let her go , I love her too much to curse her with a lifetime of this hideous face of mine .

I hope the news about the ' phantom of the opera ' does not reach America so I can peacefully live there . I already had a plan on what I want to do . I'm going to start a circus a new circus called Phantasma , where everyone is accepted , not being tortured or laughed at but being accepted because of their talents , the beauty in them . Yes this is what I should focus on . What I'm going to do for the rest of my life . I should not dwell so much on the past and Christine ... It's time to move on .
