I'm sorry that I didn't get his up sooner. My best friend has always told me to make my charters pay. There is a reason to my madness and I will do my best to make this worth your wild. I have been watching a lot of Gerard Butler's movies today. That is the reason why this chapter goes the way it goes.
Oh i have to say that it made me laugh every time i read something about you guys not knowing why Chris slapped Erik
To karina, i know that Erik has been through a lot and trust me i want to give him a happy ending, it's just that if you make it harder in them now then it will be sweeter in the end. ;)
Enjoy this chapter guys.
Again i do not own anything in this. the is just my twist to this story.

Chapter 7
"Erik." She whispered his name. She knew that her path was set. Her actions towards him had been unforgivable. In her moment of need, she asked him to humiliate himself for her, and she had punished him for it. What kind of person was she? She was not the angle that he thought that she was.
Something in her knew that he was not going to come back to talk to her. In the past she had taken the time that they had for granted. She was tired of waiting on people to fix her problems. She had to fix this herself.
She climbed out off her bed. She lightly stepped on her foot testing it. She would be able to limp on it, but she needed to be careful. "Erik?" she looked around for him. He was hiding himself from her, and she could not really blame him. "I can only guess what you must be feeling towards me right now. I think that I horrible person, but that word is not strong enough. Maybe the term bitch would be the right one for me" she was so scared that he would never forgive her that she was rambling. "There is this little voice inside of my head, and it is whispering to me that you are a dream. The most beautiful dream that any person could dream of, and I will never be able to touch that dream. It is all my doing. I know that I have hurt you more than, anyone could ever hurt you. I am so sorry Erik."
She heard an intake of breath. She made her way towards it. "My dream that I had… it was… you were in it. You were taking care of me. It seems that you are always taking care of me. You were wrapping my ankle. When you finished you looked at me There was a look in your eyes…" she took a moment to recover herself. The look in those eyes still frightened her. "I knew that you wanted to hurt me, to rape me."
She thought that she heard a light sob at her words. She pressed on knowing that his was listening to her. "You climbed on top of me and told me that I had been playing both you and Raoul. I tried to fight you off me, but you were to strong. You then took your mask off as if you wanted me to know that is was you, but… it was not you under the mask. It was Raoul. He was the one that wanted to hurt me. To rape me.
When I first saw you, I was afraid that…I do not know. That it might be him I guess. That is why I asked you to take your mask off. I needed to know that it was you.
The reasons to why I slapped you were because… first for trying to kill me in the lake. You must admit that you did deserve one good slap for that one." She heard a light chuckle. It was in the direction that she had been heading in all along. "And as for the second slap, well I am sure that you of all people should know why." She waited. She wanted to hear his answer. She knew what he would say.
"Because I am so ugly."
"Because, you Erik," she knew where he was and pulled the mirror back. She saw his strong powerful form lean against the wall. His eyes shot up at her. He was shocked to see that she found him. He was even more shocked that she had walked over to him on her bad ankle. He tried to pick her up. There was no reason why she should be walking on it! He did not want her to hurt her foot anymore than she already had.
"You make me so mad sometimes Erik! Here I am trying to explain how I feel about you, and you are still trying to take care of me! There is a reason why I am in fact waking on my ankle and not waiting for you to come and see me! Erik, the second slap was, because you have me under your spell.
I am in love with you! The thought of life without you seems pointless to me. In my dream, I had not picked whom I wanted. I was going to pay for that mistake. I pick you Erik. I have always wanted you, Erik.
Raoul told me that I needed to let go of the past and embrace the future. Raoul was the one who watched over my heart when we were children. I am no longer a child, and there is no love between us. I know that know.
The moment that I first heard, you sing…. I was yours. You are the one that holds my heart." she took both of his hands in her. She planted a light kiss on both of them. She then kissed both of his cheeks. She lightly slapped him once more. "That one," she smiled. There was a play edge to her voice. "was for making me limp all the way over to you to tell you how I desperately need and love you. I might never dance again, because of you, you know."
"I-" he tried to say I told you so, but she then planted a tender and loving kiss on his lips. "And that was making me come all the way over here to tell you that I love you." she smiled again and hugged him. She held him close scared that he would disappear on her. She did not know if he would take her now or not. She made a quick prier to God. He gently picked her up, and carried her to his bed. It was time for her to get off her ankle.
"You know, I have never meet anyone like you before Christine. I really don't know what to say."
