Chapter 24
"Erik?" I said walking out to see if he was okay.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"Yes… and no."
"Want to talk?" I asked.
"Not really."
"Does this have something to do with me?" I asked.
"Sort of." He sighed. "More with Christine."
"When she was talking about Raoul?"
He nodded. I had never seen him this open before.
"Look, she didn't mean it like she still loved him, she meant it to make me feel better. In fact she might have been lying to me, just to make you feel better."
"Oh, I'm sure she wasn't." He said with a slight laugh. "No one could ever love me, Meg. I'm just kidding myself."
"But what about the baby?" I said nudging him slightly. "Aren't you excited about it?"
"Yes." He said. "But, what happens if she sees Raoul and stays with him?"
"Oh, don't be silly!" I said. "She hates him! You should know that."
"Then why was she talking about him like that?" He asked sitting down on the front step.
"Why are you worrying? She loves you Erik. That's all you need to know."
"You slept with him to you know."
I sat down next to him and rest my head on his shoulder, taking his hand in mine.
"Do you really think if me as a little sister?" I asked.
He let out a sigh. "Yes I do. I always have, you know. When Mme was pregnant with you, I made sure she was alright and, you may not know this, I am your godfather."
"Really?" I asked. I let out a soft laugh at the thought.
"What?" He asked.
"Fancy that. Falling in love with your godfather."
He laughed. "That is pretty funny." He said. He put his arm around me and my body started to buzz.
"You're a sweet girl you know. I just hope you never try to hurt my family again." He said pulling me closer.
A/N Just a quick chapter to show Erik as a nice guy to Meg and lots of people think Erik is her dad (Ewwwwww) so this is just an idea that came to me.
