A Love that will Live Forever
Chapter one: Bell
It was late July. It had been nearly two years since Satine has died. Christian was still locked up in depression. He had just recently left Montmartre and returned to his home in London with his father, Nicolas, and brother, Charles. He spent everyday, for the past six months since he had been home, locked up in his room. His father and brother would bring food up to him but Christian would refuse to eat most of the time.
In his solitary Christian would think about Satine. How her hair always had the aroma of Incense and how her sparkling eyes looked whenever he looked at her. How her lips felt when she kissed you and the great feeling he got when he held her. He remembered everything right up to when she said her last words:
"That way I'll always be with you" as she slowly slipped away.
He remembered how she had pushed him away so many times but he always seemed to find a way to charm her. He remembered his poetry and how the first night he met her how he made her fall in love with him. Yes, the life he used to live. He felt like he had just let it slip out of his hands like it was water. No one understood why he couldn't just get over it. He refused to even look at another women. Until he met Bell that is.
Bell what a sweet girl. She had sugar brown hair and dazzling blue eyes. She was the only girl Christian looked at after Satine died. But no matter how much she tried to catch him and reel him in, as if he were a fish, he always resisted it. His father was disappointed in him for that. He knew how much Christian had loved Satine but he wanted to Christian to start over and settle down with someone. That's why, on June 2nd, 1902, Christian was married to Bell. Even though he couldn't give her his heart, for it still belonged to Satine, he respected her and treated her well.
For months upon months Christian lived his mournful life in solitude up in his and Bell's room. He would only come down for dinner occasionally. It wasn't until Kaydence was born in early august of 1903 that Christian had let another girl take over his heart. He loved his new child and had only wished it was Satine's and not Bells. He knew Satine would love her.
