I made my way up to the rooftop of the Opera house. My I couldn't handle the pressure that I was being put under by Raoul and the Managers. Madame Giry tried to catch me as I ran out of the office where I was told I would become the bait to catch the Phantom of the Opera. My angel scared me at times but I would never want any harm to come to him. I wanted more than anything to disappear into the night. I could not deal with Raoul any longer. I needed to get away. My life seemed so futile that I no longer cared what would become of me. I wanted to die. Raoul had become violent in the last few weeks and it frightened me more than my Angel's anger did. I reached the roof and paused as the cold night air attacked my warm body. I passed a statue and did not see the shadow move behind it. I made my way to the edge of the rooftop my toes hanging over the edge and my heavy skirts blowing all around. I was going to jump. I prayed a prayer to let me die quickly and to keep my angel safe. But when I leaned forward a strong pair of arms pulled me back and I fell onto whoever had tried to save me.

"Christine!" I knew this voice, and it was angry. "Christine, Why? Have you no trust in me that I would keep you safe? I knew those imbeciles plan from the beginning. No one is going to hurt you or me. Do you understand that?" I nodded an affirmative as my tears began to fall hard.

"Angel, don't make me do this, please!" I pleaded with him. He cradled me to his chest and wrapping my cloak around me to keep me warm.

"Christine," his voice was smooth and soft now, "You have to do the show, I wrote the part for you. Perhaps we can reschedule the performances if I steal you away. How does that sound?" I nodded urgently and my teeth began to shake. "Come on," he picked me up with ease, " You know suicide is a permanent answer to a temporary problem. You should have just come to me to begin with instead of throwing yourself off of opera house rooftops. It's so much nicer having you around anyway."

"Thank you Angel."

Authors Note

Alright this oneshot was done because I became suicidal over Christmas break. Only I was threatened to be put into a hospital because my parents found out. I had multiple plans but didn't actually go through with anything. So here's my oneshot. Because I've gone back to a bad place my Christine recovery story will not be continued until I can get back on track with my own life. So that one is staying on the back burner for now.
