Chapter 14
Unknown Love
Erik sits at his organ writing down lyrics as he thinks. He keeps mumbling, over and over, as he writes. Tears are streaming down his face as he pours out his heart. He then sighs as he finishes the devastating song. He looks at his watch as his eyes bulge seeing the time. "I have to go get Eva!" The time was 6:15, their regular time to meet, and he didn't want to be late. He hated being late. He runs up through the passageways to Eva's mirror. He can't stop himself from running, so he pushes open the mirror and falls on the floor. Eva giggles at his fall. Erik feels his face turn bright red as he gets up off of the floor. He can't help but suppress a smile. "Shall we go?" he says as if nothing happened. Eva finishes laughing and says, "Let's." She kisses him on the cheek before she runs through the mirror. Erik half smiles before following her through the passageway.
When Eva gets down into his lair, she immediately sits down at his table. When Erik sees her, he walks straight into the kitchen and puts on a kettle for tea. She always sits down at the table when she wants tea, which is almost every day.
The tea kettle whistles and he prepares everything to bring to Eva. He brings out the platter of tea and a bunch of little cookies. Eva is delighted and he can see it in her eyes. She grabs the tea cup as soon as he is finished pouring. He sits down when he pours his cup and Eva has a huge smile on her face. He furrows his brow. "Erik! We are only about three months away!" Erik half smiles. "Heh. No need to remind me!" Eva stifles a laugh.
Then they both sit and sip their tea for a few minutes. Erik doesn't feel like himself and he can't get her out of his head. He has been having so many dreams, all with her. He gets up out of his seat, setting his tea down. Eva looks up at him. "I will be back in a moment." Before she even has time to ask why, he shuffles away into his bedroom.
Eva just shrugs and decides to go over to his organ. She sees he has knew sheet music sitting there, so she reads it. She smiles, expecting to read a fantastic new opera, but instead she reads a very sad song. Her smile fades as she reads these heart wrenching lyrics. She starts to tear up, feeling betrayal. Erik walks back in and sees her reading the music and he freezes. She whips around with teary eyes. He can tell she doesn't like what she reads. "Eva…I…" She puts her hand up to stop him, and he does.
"Erik, I know that song isn't about me. And I know you don't know what to think or who to love. When you do figure out who you love, tell me. I'll be waiting. Hey, maybe if it takes that long, your child and I will be waiting. I love you, Erik. But I don't know if that's true about you."
She starts to cry harder, but she holds back the sound of her sobs. Eva walks up to him, toe to toe. She looks down at her hand. At her ring. She pulls it off and places it in his. "Please…" he mutters. She shakes her head.
"Give that to your true love." Eva then turns around and walks out of the lair. Erik looks down at his hand and sighs. "Give it to your true love." The words playing over and over in his head. I don't know who I love. Erik didn't know. Why did I even write that song?
Hope you guys liked that! Again, please guess the song that he wrote! I want to see if anyone knows! Thanks see ya!
