Declaring Their Love
Christian's Point of View
As I walk down the steps I look the Duke straight in the eye. Never has so much hatred gone through my veins. He took Satine away from me. Behind me I can hear her sobbing. I had to urge myself not to run to her and hold her. I had to fight my love for her, no matter how hard.
I shrug out of the jacket. The jacket that is supposed to be on Satine's secret lover. I WAS her secret lover. Now I'm just nobody. I'm a client. Getting rid of the coat is like getting rid of her. I can hear Harold's voice in the distance but I am not listening. Then I hear,
'Never knew I could feel like this,
Like I've never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss,
Everyday I love you more and more.'
I turn around and watch Satine sing our song.
'Listen to my heart can you hear it sing?
Come back to me and forgive everything!'
My heart goes out to her and my eyes fill with tears as she gasps, trying to catch her breath. Her voice starts up softly again.
'Seasons may change winter to spring.
'I love you.' She whispered that line to me. 'Til the end of time.'
I look at her and swallow. I open my mouth but no words come out. So I try again.
'Come what may.'
Everyone turns around, shocked to see me still standing there. The smile on her face makes me so happy that I start singing more.
'Come what may.' I kept repeating the line as I walked towards her, getting more enthusiastic each time.
Finally I was on the stage with her. Standing only a few inches away. It felt so good being near her again. When we were singing to each other across the room it felt like we were declaring our love to the room.
'I will love you until my dying day.' We sang that line softly looking straight into each other's eyes, knowing that we were now declaring it to each other.
There is a commotion. I look up to see Tolouse landing on the stage.
'They're trying to kill you.' Everyone laughs. 'Look, he has a gun' We both look over and gasp. Satine draws closer to me. Everything turns into madness. Things begin to explode. I think I would have laughed if I had been in the audience.
The finale song began. Satine and I sang with all our hearts. The curtain came down. That was the end of our first show. The applause was ringing in our ears. Satine smiled at me and I grinned back. Then I kissed her. I hadn't kissed her for over 24 hours and boy, did it feel good. I took her hand and began to lead her over to her position for curtain call. I am walking foward but I feel as if I'm being held back so I turned around. Satine was just standing there. Then she gasped.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Sorry for stopping it there but I thought that Christian's thoughts during her death should only be tackled by someone who can do it well enough and that ain't me.
