A/n: Hello everyone. I'm already working on the next chapter, aren't you
proud of me?
Well, Stemwinder, here it is. A whole chapter of what Erik thinks about James 'sniffing around Emily's skirts'. You wanted it, so I decided to write it. I'm not certain where to begin, so wish me luck. I hope it's good.
I'm running out of songs to put here. I have enough for about five or six chapters, and I'm looking for more. I'd love it if someone had any ideas. If you do, could you please tell me everything you know about it? Title, who wrote it, who sung it, where it's from if from anything, perhaps where I can find the lyrics, or how to contact you if you have them? Thank you. Also, please leave your e-mail address even if you do not have the lyrics. Thank you.
This chapter is going to be shorter then I hoped it would be. I apologize; perhaps the next will be longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Phantom of the Opera. Gaston Leroux does. I believe the song 'Come Here' is from the anime Card Captor Sakura- I don't remember. An old friend sent me the lyrics and I just recently found them again. I've only changed one letter, to turn 'He' into 'She'. And I'm not certain of the tune, either. I heard it a while ago, but I can't remember now. So I'm guessing.
Enjoy.

Chapter Eleven: Confusion
Erik quickly flipped through the pages. Where was it, where was it...he needed something decent to play and sing, something he hadn't heard recently, and there was one he haden't played in so long. Where was it...?
And why did the thought that that O'Hara man was going to have dinner with Emily that night disturb him?
Erik had always trusted his instincts. They had saved him more then once. And his instinct was telling him that something was off with James O'Hara.
Then again, perhaps it was just jealousy telling him that.
/Weakling./ said that evil voice. /Why would you, the great Phantom of the Opera, be jealous of O'Hara? Soon you shall have contact with her, as well. So there's nothing to be jealous of. Unless, of course, your in love with her./
Erik ignored the voice. Where was that song? That wasn't it, nor that. Where did he put it? He threw the pile of music to the side and picked up another. It wasn't that one, was it? No...nor was it that. He'd already sung that one recently, he wanted something he was less familiar with...no, no...
There it was.
He put the rest of the music atop the piano, and placed the music in front of him. This song wasn't one of his favorites, but it wasn't something he'd played recently. It was a rather beautiful song. He began playing the piano to it's slow tune.
"} The evening sun falls toward the plain, coloring the sky red
Like a flame.
The night sky is drawing the stars
One by one.
"} Closing my eyes, I gaze deep into my heart.
"Who are you waiting for?"
I'm listening to the voice
That I can hear from across the horizon.
"Come here."
"} The shimmering wind wraps around my shoulders,
As gently as a sigh.
I'm gazing at someone
Walking toward me from across the horizon.
"Come here."
"} She kicked a single shining stone.
"Come here."{"
Erik slowly drew in a breath.
/'Closing my eyes, I gaze deep into my heart. "Who are you waiting for?"'/ Erik thought of the lyrics.
He closed his eyes, and gazed deep into his heart.
Surely it was simply friendship he wanted.
Erik shook his head and opened his eyes again. He was being ridiculous. Of course it was. Couldn't he read his own emotions?
James O'Hara. He may become a problem.
/Why? Isn't it just friendship you want?/ The voice said.
Of course it was. Erik didn't know why he had thought O'Hara would become a problem.
For some reason he was still angry at O'Hara. There couldn't be a reason why.
/Unless, of course, you're in love with her./ the voice repeated itself.
Of course he wasn't in love with her. That was impossible!
Wasn't it?

I hope everyone enjoyed it! Was that good enough, Stemwinder? I hope I did a good job with it. It didn't turn out at well as I'd hoped, but I couldn't find a song that fit what I was looking for, and it threw the chapter off a bit.
