Author's Note: Our story is started to near it's end. Quite sad, but I've been considering writing a sequel if I get enough requests. I have an idea in mind, but I can easily make an epilogue instead. As always, I own nothing except for the names of my characters. Enjoy & review!
When I awoke again that morning, I was back in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. "Did I just dream everything from last might?" I wrapped a blanket around me and walked over to the window. There, I saw Erik sleeping on his porch. I chuckled and headed outside. I walked over to Erik's still body and gazed at the steady rise and fall of his chest. I kissed the unmasked side of his face. Erik slowly opened his eyes and smiled. "Good morning, angel," he whispered. I smiled and watched he eyes light up as he saw me yawn yet again. "I guess you had a good night's sleep last night, huh?" I teased. Erik chuckled. "Last night, I slept better than I had in years. Not a single nightmare." Erik sat up and yawned. I sat down next to him and laid my head on his shoulder. He smelt like roses and I loved it. "I've been thinking…" I said. Erik looked over at me. "What is it, angel?" Erik asked. I sat up and looked in his caring yellow eyes. "When I woke up this morning and saw you sleeping, I came to a decision. I believe I've finally accepted who I am supposed to be and what is to come." Erik kissed my forehead. "I'm so proud of you, Helen. You're so brave and that makes you even more beautiful." His words were filled with a passion I'd never seen before and I stood up. "First, I have to talk to Alex, Brian and Krystle. They're my friends and deserve to know the truth." Erik stood up and held my hand. "I'll go with you." I shook my head. "No, Erik. This is my change and I must do it alone." Erik smiled. "So stubborn, just like your old self," he murmured. I punched his shoulder and laughed. "I'll be back, mon ange." "I will be waiting, mademoiselle."
I called up Brian, Alex and Krystle. I told them to meet me at the school, but gave each of them different times to arrive. I chose to meet with Krystle first since she was my first friend. At noon, I stood in the auditorium. 'I haven't been on stage since the spring musical,' I thought. I knew I would meet with Brian afterwards, but the memories were still there. I heard one of the doors open and saw Krystle enter. "Hey, I got your call. What's up?" I smiled sadly and hugged her tight. Krystle looked confused. "What's wrong? Did something happen between you and Alex?" She knew we were going out, but she was far from guessing the truth. I sighed and began to explain my story. Krystle didn't say a word as I told her about Erik, being Christine, the dream I had, and about Brian. When I finished, she put a hand on my shoulder. "Helen, I've known you since 5th grade. Even if you lose your memory of us, I'll never forget. I will help and support you through everything, alright?" I started tearing up and I laughed. "You're kind of like my Meg in all of this." Krystle smiled. "Yeah, I guess I am." I wiped away the tears and regained some composure. "Now I have to tell Brian and Alex about this." Krystle looked at me with concern. "What are you going to tell them? They both care about you." I sighed. "I'm going to tell them the truth. What else is there to do?" Krystle nodded. "But are you sure Erik is the real deal?" I smiled. "Yes. There's no doubt in my mind that he is the one." Krystle wished me luck and left. I stood center stage and prepared myself for the next challenge ahead.
A/N: Did you guess from the beginning that Krystle was the Meg of the story? Who do you think is the Raoul, etc.? I'll leave you with that thought ;)
