A/N:  I am so tired, I just saw this gruesome picture of Erik Christine Daaé just send me..

He doesn't' have eyeball … dark holes.. ::put my hands over my mouth:::.  When I saw it, I gasped and choked.  But as I looked at it again, it wasn't that bad, is like looking at the mummy guy in the movie "mummy"… = [

Yay finals are almost finished and today is Friday.. 0_o … here is .. wait let me get the outline I wrote in the boring class… ahh here…

Oh yea actually according to my outline here.. There are still few chapters to go..

I went to the library recently and borrow the children book call "Phantom of the Auditorium" by R. L. Stine.. a Goosebumps book.. = )  Those books remind me of the old days.. When I was a kid I read a lot of Goosebumps books.. hehe.. That book was pretty cool.. Too bad is written about and for the children… if it is a normal fiction book.. It'll be really interesting…  But is a loose interpretation of poto… with a pretty interesting storyline with a great ending.. !!

Chapter 5  The hesitation

Erik's point of view

I stood in front of the coffin for how long I don't know.  My body was weak from all the emotion and my heart throbbed painfully, my knees were weak and I needed a rest.  Is Christine really gone?  I decided to go out and take a look.

No one is here…  that door was tightly shut.

My heart sank in disappointment, I did demand her to leave, how can I be so stupid.  I love her, I love her!  I knew instantly that she will not come back, I have lost my love once again.  Those thoughts bothered me so much that I have a major headache.  I went back to my bedroom and

… I … I… pain.. ahh   ahhh.. My heart…. I clutched at my heart with both hands, I yelled out the sharp pain, the last thing I see is the ceiling.

Christine's point of view

I followed Erik's instruction without even thinking for myself… Leave him?  Nooo..  I stopped the first time and end up standing in front of the Opera House.  I have to go back, he needs me, I know he doesn't mean what he said.  No matter he loves me or not.   I have to go back..  I have nowhere else to go, I couldn't go back to Raoul or anyone's place.  I sighed heavily, I knew now that I really have to go back, and that is what I'm going to do.

I reach to his house in no time, being that I just left his place. 

I opened the door thanking whoever that it is not lock.  I walked soundlessly in front of Erik's door, standing there hesitate if I should go in or not.  The scene repeated in my mind again and again, if I enter the room, Erik would tell me to go away again.  I put my hand on the handle wanting to turn it but I quickly pull back, shaking my head and go in my room instead. 

I grew so tired by all the walking, the bed is destroy but is still usable.  I sat on it to see if I could sleep on it.  The bed creaked a bit but did not fall or break in half.  I yawned and sleep on the bed dreaming of Erik. 

Erik's point of view

"ahh…"  I opened my eyes and gasp.  I have passed out, my heart.  I touch my heart, it seems back to normal with the beating rate.  I sat up and find myself on the cold floor.  What just happened?

Christine…. Left…  no one here… alone….  My heart…

It all started to make sense, I moaned softly, my whole body aches.  I stood up, dusting off my clothes and checked if my mask is in place and leave the room.  I headed toward the kitchen, make myself some herbal tea and sit down to enjoy it.

Christine… I felt my eyes are wet again then out of a sudden my shoulder shaked and I was weeping earnestly.  I threw the teacup and the saucer away, the clashing and tea spill noise came next, making a scene on the floor.  I miss Christine tremendously, why do I even tell her to go?  Oh Christine… I was so depress and I have no time to prepare your return.  Yes, you should really leave me alone then, I was in such a mess.  My face was all tear streaked and with mucus all over my nose and hands.  I laugh bitterly at the sight and sighed.  I stood up and decide to go to Christine room, I missed her room, and wanted to go there to treasure my sad memory.

The door was not even close so I pushed the door open and step in. 

I… gasped at the bed, shocked to find Christine sleeping peacefully in the ruin bed, oh gosh, she looks like an angelic creature. 

Is this a mirage?  I must have wanted her so much to imagine things.  I studied her, admiring her, and try my best not to touch her.

I couldn't resist it and I reach to caress her pale cheek, I gasp out again, and her skin is so silky soft.  I continued to caresses her soft face, putting her curly hair behind the ear. 

Christine's eyes shot open and saw me standing beside her.
