I don't own The Phantom of the Opera. Just my s characters and storyline.
Chapter 10
Christine's POV
I can hear what they are saying about me and Raoul sleeping together, which is a lie. Why did they think I would do that, why?
I have never in my life ever done anything like that.
Last night I fell asleep and Erik picked me up and laid me in his bed, but he slept on his couch.
Thank heavens Raoul is saying that I didn't and of course we wouldn't have. Madam Giry is telling everyone to leave me be, which I am happy about.
I also hear that they are going to have Carlotta sing the lead tonight and that I am going to have the silent role, I guess they want their star back.
To tell the truth it hurts, I do my best, I don't complain, and what, now I have to do the silent role. I guess my best it's good enough for them.
I start to cry. Then it turns to sobs. I hear a knock on my mirror.
"Come in." I say, with tears running down my cheek.
Erik comes into the room.
"Christine." he says.
Then he hugs me tight, and when we pull apart he whips the tears from my cheek.
"My poor angel."
"Thank you Erik."
"For what?"
"For being here."
"You are welcome my Christine."
I bury my head into his chest, and I listen to the sound of his heart beating.
"Shhh I'm here."
Erik's POV
I hate seeing Christine so upset. I can take it when someone is mean to me, but not if someone is mean to my Christine.
She starts to calm down and I pick her up and sit her down on a chair.
"Thank you Erik, I don't know what I would do without you." she says, with a smile.
"Are you okay?"
"No. But I'll survive."
"If there is anything you need, just tell me, okay?"
"Okay."
We talk for a little bit.
"I'll see you tonight, okay?"
"Okay."
"I love you."
"I love you too, Erik."
I smile and walk home.
