Sorry about all of the spelling mistakes in the last chapter! I promise I will try not to have those problems in the next few chapters.

I hope you all enjoy.


Chapter 2

Christine's P.O.V.

I looked up the twisting stairs. "Erik, are you sure that these stairs lead to my dressing room?"

"I'm positive. I am going to put that rock back over that door, and we can go up."

"Erik, what are we going to do when we get up there?"

"We are going to stay in your dressing room, if anyone comes, we will hide. When everyone is gone from the opera house, we will get the rest of our things and we will go to the house by the sea."

"Oh Erik." I cried as I hugged him.

"Christine. We need to go up."

"Right," I said as I pulled away. I started up the stairs.

At the top, there was a little walkway. Down the way, I saw the mirror.

Erik led me to the mirror and opened it up so that I could walk into the dressing room.

"Christine," Erik said as soon as he closed the mirror.

I looked up at him.

"Can you go out side the opera house and see if you can find Madam Giry and Meg?"

"But…but… I will be seen! What will I do when I find them?"

"All you have to do is hide in the ashes, then, when you find them, you bring them back here. When they get here, I will tell them of our plans."

"But, Erik. I don't even know all of our plans."

"In time, in time." He said and he put a gently kiss on my lips. "Go, Christine. Be back soon. I will be here, or behind the mirror. Be sure that no one is following you when you come back."

"Don't worry. Would I ever bring any harm to my angle of music? I will be back soon." I kissed Erik, and ran out the door.

I walked outside the opera house; the light was so bright, it was hurting my eyes.

I walked around the front of the house, and I saw two sad faces, looking at the burnt opera house.

I ran up to them.

"Meg! Madam Giry!" I cried, as I hugged each of them.

"Christine, how did you…" Meg started.

"No time to explain. Erik just said to get you two back to my dressing room. I don't know why."

Meg went pale. Madam Giry was speechless.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Christine, why are you with Erik?" Madam Giry asked.

"It's a long story. I will tell you about it inside. Please follow me."

"I guess it won't hurt to see my good friend again!" Madam Giry said walking up the steps to the burned opera popular.

Back inside

Erik's P.O.V.

Ok. As soon as Christine gets back with Madam Giry and Meg, I will ask Christine and Meg to get Meg's things ready to go. I will then ask Madam Giry if I can marry Christine.

When Christine gets back, I will ask for her hand in marriage; if Madam Giry accepts.

There was a knock on the door. I crouched down, hiding from whoever was coming.

I heard the door open. I looked to see who it was.

It was Christine, Meg, and Madam Giry.

"Erik? Are you there?" I heard Christine call out.

I stood up. I had quickly put my mask on before stood. Meg has never seen me without my mask; well, this is the first time she has seen me.

"Erik!" Madam Giry gasped.

Megs face was pale white.

"I am sorry if I have startled anyone. Christine, why don't you help Meg gather her things."

Christine looked at Meg. "Of course," She said and they walked out of the room.

At once Madam Giry was at my side.

"What is going on?" She asked.

"I need to leave this place. You and your daughter are coming with me and Christine."

"Erik, what are you going to do with Christine? You can't just drag her around then drop her off somewhere!"

"That is why I had asked Christine to take Meg to your room. I wanted to ask you if…" I paused.

"If what Erik?"

"Since you have been like a mother to Christine, I am going to ask you what I would have asked her father if he was still alive…"

"Erik, don't tell me you want to…"

"Madam, please listen. I love her, she loves me. She wants to be by my side for the rest of my life, I want to be with her."

"Are you sure that she loves you, Erik?"

"Yes, she came back to me after I let her go with Raoul, two times, and she refused both times. I wanted her to come back here, to live a happy life with Raoul, but she still refused! She said that she wouldn't be able to live if she wasn't with me. She confessed her love to me. Madam, have I convinced you yet?"

"Surly you think that she should talk to me also before you ask her. Go get her and send her in. You need to get acquainted with Meg anyways."

"Yes, Madam." And I walked out the door, to go find the woman I love.

Christine's P.O.V.

"Christine, why are you with him?" Meg asked.

"Meg, I have never told this to anyone, but you. Erik is the one that has been tutoring me. Meg, I am with him because I love him, and I am hoping that we will one day be married."

"Christine! Do you really think that mother will let you?"

"I hope. I love Erik and I hope to live with him for the rest of my life…" at that moment, Erik walked into the room.

Meg gasped.

"Christine, Madam Giry would like to have a word with you."

I looked at Meg and she nodded her head. I stood up. "Erik, can you stay here with Meg until I get back?"

"Of course, my dear." He said and he sat down in a chair by the door.

I walked over to the door. I took one last glance over to Meg, she was breathing hard.

I turned around and walked back to my dressing room.

I got to the room, and I walked inside.

"You wanted to see me, Madam Giry?"

"Yes, do sit down." I sat on a chair that is right across from Madam Giry. "It has come to my attention that you have decided to… Christine, are you sure that you want to stay here?" She burst out.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…do you really love Erik?"

"Is this what all of this is about? Of course I love Erik! I have loved him one way or another. Mom, what are you trying to say?"

"Christine, I am trying to say that… if Erik would want to take you as a wife, I… I would let you and Erik…"

"Mom is that what Erik was talking to you about?" I asked excitedly.

"Yes, my dear, it was."

My hand flew to my mouth, my eyes went wide.

"Sit here my dear; I will get him for you." Then Madam Giry walked over to the door and went to get Erik.

Meg's P.O.V.

Christine has left me in here with the Phantom of the Opera. Mother always said that he was like a hidden father to me, but I am still very scared of him.

"Meg, I know that we have never met before, but, you have always seemed like a daughter to me."

I looked up at him. "Yes, you have always been like a father to me, but it is weird that we have never met."

There was a pause of silence.

I looked up at him. "Do you love Christine?"

He looked up at me. "Yes, my dear, I do. I have always loved her."

"When are you going to ask her?"

"Soon, I hope. As soon as I can get her to come here."

As soon as he finished saying that, the door opened and there was mother.

"Meg, Christine might want to see you." I understood she needs a moment with Erik.

Christine's P.O.V.

I looked at the vanity that is right beside me. There is still a rose from Erik on it. I picked it up.

Then Meg walked in.

"Christine, Erik will be here soon… where did you get that rose?" Meg asked as soon as she noticed it in my hand.

"This is a rose that Erik gave to me one night. That first night that I met Erik, I wish I could do over. I pulled off his mask and he got mad. He made me come back here. If I didn't pull off his mask, I would have already have married him, and we wouldn't be in a half burned down opera house." I could feel tears run down my cheek.

"Oh, Christine. You shouldn't think that! Erik still loves you, he tolled me."

I looked at the door. It started to open. I started to wipe the tears away. Erik came in.

"Christine, are you ok?" He said as he saw that I had been crying. He sat down beside me and pulled me onto his lap. I started to cry into his chest. "Christine, what is wrong?"

"I was telling Meg that, that first night, if I didn't pull your mask off and if I didn't get you upset, then this opera house would not be burned down, and we would be married and…"

"Christine, shhhh. You need to calm down." Then he started to hum.

I instantly felt better.

After a few seconds of just listening to Erik hum, I looked up at his face. He was looking at me.

I put my hand against his face, and pulled his face closer to mine. He got the idea and pulled me into a kiss.

He pulled back, he put me in his arms and he stood up. He put me in a chair and knelt on one knee on the floor beside me.

My eyes grew wide. He grabbed my hands and said, "Christine, we have been through so much together. We have been through a lot, with Raoul and everything, but in the end, we are here, together. Christine, I am letting you choose this time; will you marry me?"

My mouth dropped open, my eyes still wide; Meg and Madam Giry still at the door.

I have to know that he trusts me first. I thought.

My hand went to his mask.

He grabbed my wrist. He looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Erik, I have to know that you trust me, before I can answer." He let go of my wrist and I took his mask off.

I heard Meg gasp. Erik closed his eyes in shame.

"Erik," he opened his eyes to look at me. "You don't need to be ashamed. Your face is just another part of you that I love. Like you said, just because I made a choice, doesn't mean that everyone will accept it. Just because a lot of people hate you, Erik, I love you and I hope that you will fully trust me one day." I pulled Erik into a loving kiss.

Madam Giry and Meg started to clap.

I pulled back and hugged Erik. "I love you." I whispered.

Erik kissed my ear, "I love you too."

Meg rushed over to me and hugged me, and then hugged Erik.

"I can't wait to have a wonderful brother in-law like you!" Meg whispered as she hugged Erik.

"I can't wait to have such a wonderful husband!" I said, as I pulled Erik into another kiss.
