Disclaimer: Do you really think I own Phantom? I mean honestly people, as much as I wish it were true, it's not going to happen anytime soon. Seeing as I don't own this show, I really don't have any money, you sue me, it's not going to be worth anything, trust me…really….
Author's Note: Yeah, this is my attempt at a Phantom fic without Raoul bashing, in any way. Look, I don't hate the man, he's just so easy to bash, so here goes nothing, I present…
L'Un j'Ai Aimé ... et A Perdu
"Erik!" shouted Christine in her sleep, "Poor darling Erik…" she moaned and turned over.
Next to her lay Raoul, awake, his eyes full of sorrow and a mad love for Christine, "She's in love with a ghost…" he whispered to himself, "Yet while she lives, he lives, and she will never truly love me." He slipped quietly out of bed and walked over to the window over looking the ocean in the couple's honeymoon suite.
By day they were the happy newlyweds, sharing all of life's beauty as though through the eyes of a newborn, but consistently, at night, Christine would call out Erik's name in her sleep, and Raoul could picture what those dreams must be.
He pounded his fist onto the balcony's rail, "He'll never die! I will have to live being second to her love of a ghost! How long must this go on God? Will I have to live the rest of my life competing with him?"
"Raoul? Who are you shouting at darling? Come back to bed." Called Christine from where she was lying.
"Just getting some fresh air, I'll be back soon, go back to sleep."
But Christine wouldn't listen. She got out of bed and joined her husband on the balcony, "Raoul, what's wrong? You haven't been sleeping I know."
"Nothing's wrong Darling." He said as he kissed her forehead, "Go back to sleep, you need your rest."
"So do you Raoul, more than I. What's troubling you?"
'That you're still in love with him…that you shout out his name while you sleep…that I can see in your eyes, even as we make love, that you wish it were him that you were with.' Were all thoughts that raced through Raoul's head, "The food's not agreeing with me, that's all." He said aloud.
"Oh, alright, be back in bed in five minutes though. I worry about you."
~TBC if I get reviews. So if you want more, please, tell me so and I will write more. If y'all hate it, please tell me so, so I can move onto something else!
