Hi I'm back! Erik will be in this chapter. So here we go
Chapter 1: The Breakup.
It was 2005 at the old Daleson High School in Manhattan New York. Inside, a girl was making the biggest decision of her life.
"Erik, I don't think I can do this."
"Christine you have to."
Christine was debating on if she should or shouldn't breakup with Raoul, her boyfriend. They had been dating for three years. Then she met Erik. At first they were just friends. Then she felt herself being pulled by him. And he felt the same way about her. So they started to go out on dates. (Secretly.) For a month it went on like that. Until one day she couldn't take it any more. The guilt she had for going behind Raoul's back was ripping her apart slowly.
Erik seemed so alone. Because he always had to wear the mask, people considered him a freak. And they wouldn't go anywhere near Erik, like they were afraid of getting some weird disease from him. She did not want to leave him. She knew what she had to do. And it wasn't going to be easy.
"Erik, I just don't want to break his heart."
"Christine, please. If you don't then it will be harder to do later. Plus if he found out about us well…let's just say it will be easier if someone he trusts tells him."
Suddenly, a boy with wavy blonde hair came around the corner.
"Erik, don't leave me." He smiled at her from behind his mask.
While stroking her cheek he said, "Don't worry my love. Everything will be okay." Then he turned and left.
"Christine!" Raoul ran over to her and gave her a long kiss. "Oh Christine, it's so good to see…." He stopped. He looked in her eyes. Her chocolate brown eyes, which usually sparkled, were clouded over in distress. "Christine, is something wrong?"
"Oh Raoul…we need to talk."
"okay." he said
"But not here." She pulled him into an empty classroom.
"Have a seat." He sat down on the desk. Something was wrong. He could sense it.
"Now Christine. You must tell me what's wrong. I hate to see you so upset." She sighed.
"Raoul. it's just not easy." Raoul got up from the desk and held her close to him, touching her brown curly locks.
"It's, okay we'll solve this problem together. And then we could go…"
"Raoul it's about us," Christine interrupted. Raoul paused. He took a step back with a look of confusion on his face.
"What about us?"
She took a deep breath.
Well here goes nothing, she thought. "Raoul, this relationship we have, it's not going to work out." Raoul's eyes grew wide and started to fill with tears.
"What are you talking about?" he choked out.
"Well you see there's this guy. And I just feel drawn to him." Raoul could not believe it. Not only was she breaking up with him, she was already seeing someone else.
"Who is it and how long has this been going on?" She took another breath.
This is not going to end well, she thought. "Three months and…it's…Erik." Raoul looked shocked at the last part.
"Erik? As in Erik Destler?" he asked.
"The same," She replied. Raoul took a step back, and was now glairing at her.
She dumped me for a freak! He thought. "So all those times you told me that you loved me, it was all a lie!" he shouted. Christine looked at him in shock.
"How could you even think that, Raoul? Look, Raoul I'm sorry. Let's not end it this way okay." But he barley listened.
"I can't believe you dumped me for some freak!" Now it was Christine's turn to get angry. She slapped him across the face.
"Don't you DARE talk about Erik like that again!"
"How can you do this to me, Christine! HOW CAN YOU!" he turned and ran, leaving Christine standing there.
She was so mad, she felt as if she would explode. Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"How did it go?" Erik asked.
"Not good. After I told him, he started to yell at me. Do you think he will be alright?"
"I think he'll be fine. He just need's time to cool off," he said. She looked out after Raoul.
"Well…let's just hope he won't do anything stupid."
A.N. I'm sorry to say that Erik will not be in this next chapter cries It's all about Raoul. Well I have to go so please
