Christine's POV
On my knees weeping, I don't feel as if I will lose anything if I were to choose Erik, I would, of course I would. I could never let anything happen to Raoul, he meant so much to me, he was such a good friend and he gave me the most perfect love anyone could ask for. Him dying would bring tears to my eyes, as long as he was alive, I would be happy even if I were with Erik. I really do love them both.
"Pitiful Creature of Darkness,
What kind of life have you known?"
I sung those words and then stood up giving Erik the most loving look that he has probably ever gotten. I sang to him again walking towards him:
"God give me courage to show you,
You are not alone."
And soon, I gave him something I knew he had never gotten. I kissed him long and full on the lips. Our embrace lasting a long time. When our lips parted he had a face that showed love, but I could tell he was scared and shocked.
Erik looked deep in my eyes. I had a feeling but I could not yet tell what it was. He suddenly had a look like he was lost and he was found. He looked towards Raoul and raised his arm and hand up in the air towards him. Raoul suddenly fell to the ground. I looked at Erik then at Raoul. I ran towards Raoul and helped him up. He looked at me and then held me tight.
"Oh, Christine." Raoul murmured. I saw Erik standing there looking weak and beaten. I pulled away from Raoul.
"I will never forget you. Please go now." I said and looked deep into Raoul's eyes. I saw out of the corner of one though, a shocked expression on Erik's face. Wasn't I supposed to do this? Yes, I was, I would keep my promise.
"Christine. No, I can't leave you." Raoul said with tears welling up in his eyes. It nearly broke my heart. I took his arm and brought him to the exit of the lair and pointed down a pathway and gave him directions so I knew he would get out safely.
"Raoul, I truly love you. You mean so much to me. I will never forget you. Please go and promise me that you will go on and never think of me again, fore, I cannot bare the thought of you being sad everyday." Tears started to slip down his face and mine but I wiped mine and his away and held him tight. "You have so much to give. Thank you for being my friend and my love." I pushed him back and he looked to the ground and I watched him walk down the pathway, he stopped in the middle and looked back at me, then he walked all the way out. Good-bye my darling, I thought.

I walked back to where Erik was. He was standing looking down at his mask. He quickly noticed my presence and began to place the mask on his face, but I quickly stopped him.
"Erik," I said, "I told you, this haunted face holds no horror for me now."
"Christine, my face still brings fear to you," he hesitated, "and me." With that, he placed the mask on his face. "You know were you may stay."
He began to walk away towards his room. "Why?!" I shouted. I didn't know why I just said that but he turned towards me in shock. I decided to rephrase what I said in a more gentle way. "Why are you acting this way towards me? I thought you wanted me in your life."
"Christine, in my whole life of knowing you, not a day goes by that I don't wish you were in my life." He walked slowly into his room and closed the door. I only started crying when I heard the click of his lock. What is going to happen? I thought. Only time can tell, but also friendship and love.
