Again… Don't own anything Phantom of the opera or Harry Potter, they belong to Gaston Leroux and J.K. Rowling
Just a quick note, I didn't really specify, but I altered the age difference between Erik and Christine quite a bit.
It had been about a week after Christine had learned that she was with child, and she was quickly growing worried.
What had she been thinking that night? She was too young to be in that type of a relationship. She was scared that she was going to be expelled and she was scared that Erik didn't return her feelings, but that was not an excuse.
Now because of all her turmoil she was dragging Erik down with her. She couldn't have a baby. Neither she nor Erik could ever possible afford to have a baby. She had decided to write to her relatives, maybe in some odd occasion they would be able to somehow help her, but at the last minute she backed out of the plan.
She trudged down to the school library and began paging through books on adoption in the wizarding world. She found it quite fascinating, a person with child could have a spell performed on them that would transfer the unborn child into the womb of a barren woman.
Christine decided that the decision was for the best. She wasn't parent material and Erik was not parent material. She had no one to blame, but herself really. She was always trying to be an adult, make decisions as an adult would, act in normal society as an adult would. It was just now that she was realizing who she really was, a naïve young child, who went too far into things that she wasn't ready for.
If only she had waited a couple of years. She probably wouldn't be dumb enough to get knocked up then.
She flipped through the pages of different adoption agencies and wrote a letter to each of them, urging them to find good parents for her child soon.
Erik had received an owl from Christine and could do nothing but stare at it in shock.
Dearest Erik,
I have decided to put the child up for adoption, you must know that neither of us can handle the responsibility of raising a child. I am glad to inform you that I met the parents willing to adopt the child, and they are wonderful people, our child will have a much better childhood then we did.
I also want to apologize to you, I love you Erik, I really do…but I'm not ready for this relationship… I guess I just need some time apart from… us. I hate doing this in a letter, but it's for the best.
Love Always,
Christine
Erik could have kicked himself, fool, he thought, you would think that after years of rejection you would have seen this coming. Erik promised himself that he wouldn't become fooled once again, if Christine never wanted to see him again that was fine by him. He wrote a short note to send back to Christine.
Goodbye Christine
And with that being said, Erik decided that from that day forward he would never let a thought of Christine Daae fill his head.
Short Chapter I know, but like I said I want to get to Christine's fifth year quickly where, I could make a better EC fic from the material. Anyways I figured this little argument would keep them apart for a couple years to realize how hey really feel about each other.
