Advice:
"I need to talk to someone…" Meg said as she walked to her window, "I need to tell someone other than my mother about all that is going on… There is only one person I'd love to talk too… But…That's Christine…And… Oh I couldn't…but I need to!" Meg sighed as she went to get dressed.
She finished putting on her clothes, "I hope Christine is at rehearsal today…" Meg said setting out to the Opera house.
Meg stepped through the entrance to the Opera house, and headed toward the stage, she entered the stage and noticed Christine singing.
"Oh Christine?" Meg said heading towards Christine.
"Oh hello, Meg! How are you?" Christine replied smiling.
"I'm good, but I need to talk to you…" Meg started biting her lower lip.
"What is it Meg?" Christine asked looking concerned, "is there something wrong?"
"Well… nothing horribly wrong, but I'm having problems… With…well how do I say this, my love life?"
"Ah... I see." Christine said laughing a bit, "we all have that problem sometime in our life, I had problems but after I moved in with Erik life has been blessed and I've never been happier. Who are you having problems with Meg? Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Well… Obviously there is something you can help me with if I came to ask for your advice." Meg said rolling her eyes.
Christine's eyebrow raised, "Don't get cocky with me, Meg!"
"Well… I'm having troubles along the lines of me… of me…"
"Yes Meg?" Christine said impatiently.
"Of Raoul and I!" Meg blurted out.
Christine sighed, "You and Raoul?"
"Yes…" Meg replied worriedly.
"Well… Although that makes me wonder, I still can't stop whom you will love… But what problems are you having?" Christine asked sitting down in a nearby chair.
"I hope you aren't implying that I'm making a mistake Christine! If I might add look at the character you have married!" Meg said furiously.
"Now nobody has said that! You are putting words in my mouth! And we aren't married we are engaged to be married!" Christine snapped back.
"Humph!" Meg said rolling her eyes.
"Now! Just tell me your problem please…" Christine said sighing again.
"Well you see… Raoul asked me to dinner, Christine… I, naturally flattered, accepted his offer and then one thing struck me, "Was he still in love with Christine?" So…I asked, of course as anyone would ask, because I was worried that he was just using me to get over you… So I said, "Raoul do you still have feelings for Christine?" Or along the lines of that… And he gave me this long lecture on how he had fallen for me… And that he was over you… I guess me being naïve took that in and accepted the fact that he was over you…
"But later that night… He came to pick me up here… And I noticed that there was something troubling him. I asked him what was worrying him, and then he told me that you were troubling him… I was so heartbroken, I began to cry, and I stormed up to my mother's office… She, as a mother would do, comforted me… but that obviously didn't work… Oh Christine… what am I going to do? He came to my window last night… He was so gently, so loving… But I turned him down; I turned him down and left him in the cold! I don't understand what I am to do… What am I do to Christine? How did Erik forgive you?"
"Meg… as you know things can be very complicated, and I can't give you all the answers you seek, but I can help you as much as I possibly can… I understand why Raoul might still be sad about me… because I did sadly leave him for Erik. I wouldn't blame him if he is still heartbroken over that, but I truly believe that he has some feelings for you. He just needs to realize that he has these strong feelings, as I'm almost sure he has since he has that desperate attempt last night at your window… What was he thinking anyways? Sometimes he puzzles me… But Erik and I, we are very complicated… I can't even begin to explain our love. But, I knew I hurt Erik that night on the roof, when he overheard Raoul and myself talking… And that, of course, is not an easy thing to overcome… But some how he overcame it… He saw past the betrayal, which I'm ever so thankful for, and then he saw my love for him, and slowly, he accepted me back into his life… It didn't happen in minutes, love works in mysterious ways, it doesn't happen the moment you snap your fingers. It takes time… And I'm sure in time, Meg, you and Raoul will have seen what Erik and I have seen, and you two will be happy… As Erik and I are… I know I'm not the best person to talk to, but I really do hope what I have said has helped you… Now I must really be leaving… Erik has a surprise for me tonight, and I don't want to miss it, au revoir, Meg. Get in contact as soon as you can… Erik will hear you calling for me… Everything will be all right… I hope… Until the next time we meet Meg…" Christine finished grabbing Meg's hands and looking her worriedly in the eyes, and then she slowly let go of her hands and walked towards the dressing rooms.
Meg stood there for a moment, and then turned around to leave when she spotted Raoul entering the theatre. She stood on the stage, frozen in shock.
Raoul spotted Meg, and too, froze in his footsteps.
