You know what? To hell with the one-shot songphic. I have decided to not only add another chapter but discard the song. Just think of that part as a prologue.

Doomed Delight: Thank you so much; you're one of the people that encouraged me to write a more original 2nd chapter! You gave me a ton of pointers! Thanks!

Maglenen Princess: Love ya, Sam! You are the one that completely swayed my mind about writing a second chapter.

Penis MgGee: Thanks, I think. Btw the summary tells you it's a monologue so if you thought it was going to be boring why did you read it?

Christine found the note when she came back from rehearsals. Her singing had been off and she had publicly been criticized by André. When she walked into the room she groaned. Her day was about to get worse!

She read the note over several times, not quite comprehending until about the fifth time.

This was insane. Erik wasn't going to take her back? Why? That was stupid question. She knew she had hurt him deeply by going with Raoul but she had been so caught up in fear of the moment she hadn't thought clearly.

During that moment she had had some weird kind of twisted logic.

I think I may have been afraid of what Raoul would do to me or Erik if I didn't come with him. (he has quite a temper.) I know Erik would never hurt me so I made what I thought was the logical choice at the time. Only recently have I come to see what a mistake I made choosing Raoul.

She pushed up her sleeve a gazed disgustedly at the hand shaped bruise on her upper arm.

Oh yes I made a mistake. A really big one. I have only found out recently how far his temper can and will go.

She sat down on the bed and began to cry.

"Why haven't I told anybody? Why, because Erik's the only one that will listen. Who am I kidding, who would take my word against the Viscount's?"

"Erik's right, I can't show this note to Raoul. It would be a fight that ended in death. Although if it was Raoul's I wouldn't be too sad."

Suddenly she sat up and dried her eyes. She grabbed the note and read it again.

"That's it! Erik said he would come for me if Raoul hurt me. He also said he wouldn't take me back but, he has no idea how charming I can be!If I can get him to come for me or I go to him then there will be a chance! I will get Erik back I swear on my life that I will. Literally. Because if I can't have Erik then I would rather kill myself than go back to Raoul. He is a monster! Well, he's turned into one.

I wonder what Erik will do when he finds out what Raoul has been doing to me? Maybe either way this will end in a death fight.

She took the red rose with the black ribbon that had come with the note and put it through her hair and she laid the note back on her night stand.

She left through the mirror with the thoughts, I'm coming Erik, I hope you're ready

A/Ns: Well things don't always come out as planned. This chapter was never supposed to exist but, oh well. I know it's short but it's more of filler than anything else. The real action happens in the next chapters. R&R. Flames welcome.
