Author´s note: Thanks for all your reviews;) I know it´s pretty sad at the moment, but I think a divorce between 2 people who really love each other (and I think Christine and Erik really does!) is the hardest. But who knows-things might take a turn for the better...
Shdwcat27: Thanks:) - hands you a kleenex-you´ll probably need it for a while yet;)
phantomfan1911: Thanks, yeah I think Erik thought that too, but...no sorry:)
Wandering-Phantom: Thank you; I think he´s even more ready to fight now:)
Leben ist Magie: Well, I´think he´ll give Sarah all the huggles he can, but he´s not too pleased with Christine right now...:)
Phantomandvampirelover: Thanks:) Erik´s not happy...
"Hello?", Christine picked up the phone after the 5th ring and looked at her watch.
'1.am! Who would call at this time?'
"Did you hit her?", Erik´s voice sounded very pissed off.
"Erik I ...", Christine groaned.
"Just tell me Christine! Did you hit Sarah!", Erik asked firmly.
"Yes Erik, I slapped her", Christine sighed. "But I didn´t mean to, I…"
"Have you lost your mind?", Erik roared into the phone.
"Erik please, I didn´t just hit her for no reason. It was the culmination of a bigger argument", Christine tried to justify her actions.
"Yes Sarah told me what happened. She said you were fighting and she did use some pretty harsh words against you. I don´t approve of that, but that doesn´t give you the right to slap her!", Erik was quite angry.
"Is Sarah with you?", Christine asked.
"Yes of course she´s with me", Erik said.
"Good. Will you tell her I´m sorry Erik? Please? Tell her I love her and that I´ll be around to pick her up tomorrow afternoon", Christine almost begged.
"Yes, I´ll tell her you´re sorry and that you love her, but don´t bother coming over. Sarah is going to stay with me for a while", Erik said.
"What?", Christine couldn´t believe what she was hearing. "But this is her home!".
"Sarah doesn´t want to go home to you! You´ve hurt her Christine. More than you might think! Give her some time to calm down and we´ll see what happens. Goodnight Christine!". Erik hung up before she could say anything more.
Putting the phone back in place she laid back in her bed and stared at the ceiling.
'You´ve hurt her more than you might think', Erik´s words were ringing in her head.
She buried her face in her pillow and wept. 'When had everything gotten so messed up?'.
Ok, I know it´s short! I had originally planned a longer chapter, but I think this little conversation goes well as a stand-alone.
Please tell me what you think:)
