Say you'll share with me one love , one lifetime

Chapter 2

Two months later

Christine's POV

" Christine , I love you .. "

I gaze at the sunset overlooking the ocean at my balcony . His voice still lingers in my head . For two months straight I find myself still thinking about my angel . I was a Monster leaving him all alone , heartbroken and despair . All he ever needed was love , someone to care for him , I was his only light . He was a genius and a talented person but due to his face , he has to hide them from the world . Only I hear those beautiful music of his ..

It's been two months , I can't eat , I can't sleep .. everything reminds me of him . Tears slowly left my eye then it became heavier and heavier . I felt like drowning in my own tears . I've never felt this broken-hearted . I need to see him , to tell him I love him and I want to be with him . I do , I really do . Not out of pityness but genuinely love him with all my heart . He owned my soul ever since he sang to me ever since he told me he loved me and ever since we had that kiss .

I had to leave Raoul , I'll never be happy with him . He deserves better . So I wrote him a letter

" Dear Raoul ,

It hurts me to write this but I can't stay . I cannot marry you . It feels wrong . I'm not sure I want to marry you . I'm sorry , I think I love another .. it would be unfair to you if i marry you yet love another man . It's just wrong . Thank you . For saving my life that night , for these past 9 months . Thank you for being there , protecting me . I love you Raoul but as a brother and nothing more . I'm sorry for not telling you sooner . Please forgive me . Do not search for me , I won't change my mind . I'll be alright .

Love , Christine "

I put the letter on the bed and packed my bags . I pack all that I could and left the house . I walked towards the opera house as it is just a walking distance . I walked without looking back . The closer I get , the more excited I felt , the more my heart aches less  . I know he is still there , hiding . The opera house is temporarily closed due to the mysterious fire occur two months ago but I knew exactly what happened and why it happened . It's because of me .. I push the thoughts away as I walked into my old dressing room . I lid the candle I had with me and looked around the room . It looks the same as before . The fire did not touch my room at all . Then I noticed a Rose with black satin ribbon wrapped around it on my table . I knew it was from my angel . I picked it up and smell it , slowly my tears fell down again . I was foolish and selfish . Then I turned and saw the mirror he used to hide behind in .

The mirror looks opened , so I slide it even bigger so that I can walked in . As I walk through the pathway to his lair , the atmosphere were frightening but welcoming at the same time . But to be really honest I do not care about the surrounding , all I can think about is my angel . Where is he ? Is he alright ? Is he dead ? . Then there it was the lake that separates us so I hopped in the boat and row till I reached his lair .

As I row away from my dressing room , the place gets darker and darker . The atmosphere gets colder and colder . When I reached , the place was a complete mess . It was a disaster as pieces of glasses of the shattered mirror were all over the floor and his music sheets were scattered all around . I walk further in and I saw his mask on top of the piano . I picked it up and hug it .

" Oh angel .. " I cried silently , thinking he's already dead because of the mobs .

" please forgive me my angel , I'm sorry . I was wrong .. " then I sat on the bench trying to gather all my emotions , trying to stop crying . But I can't .. I was foolish , mean , basically a monster . I play the keys on the piano slowly trying to remember his music . How I yearned for his music and his voice .

Then I heard footsteps , I turned and there he was .He look so beautiful without his mask . I straight away jumped out of the bench and ran to him . I wrap my arms around his waist and put my head on his chest . I hugged him tightly .

" Angel .. I thought you were dead ... " I cry into his shirt .
