It all happened so fast…….

Christine felt the warmth from Raoul's body and breath. She could have easily consumed to it, Raoul's handsome face and his powerful kiss, but the though of her Angel nagged at her brain. In less then a second Christine lowered her head making Raoul barely miss her colorful lips and kiss the top of her nose. Christine shuddered a little at the warm sensation on the tip of her nose but quickly turned away. She folded her arms across her chest and turned her back to Raoul.

"I'm sorry Raoul" she protested " I'm just going through a faze"

She bit her lip and slowly walked over to the edge if the roof. She looked down at the people below her admiring the view.

Raoul turned to her back hurt. "How could she!" Raoul asked himself angry and hurt. He put his gloves on protecting them from getting numb and walked beside Christine. He placed a hand on Christine's shoulder and felt her jump at his touch. He slowly wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and placed his head on her shoulder.

"We can get through this faze together Christine if you let me help you." Raoul said rocking her back and forth in his arms.

Christine enjoyed the comfort in his warm arms and closed her eyes as he rocked her back and forth. Many emotions stirred within her as she was wrapped in his arms.

Raoul suddenly had an idea. He had remembered the days where she and him were little and would sing all the time. The glaze in her eyes as she consumed into the song that either her father played or she sang. He slowly began to sing.

"No more talk of darkness, forget this idolized fears. I'm here with you beside you, to hold you and to guide you."

Christine froze when she heard Raoul's voice. He was a good singer but not as good as Erik … the thought quickly came to her, but then left as Raoul sang to her. They went through a whole song singing about the love they had for one another and then just like minutes before Raoul tried to kiss her. But this time Christine was consumed in the song like she always had been and kissed him passionately. When they were done kissing they looked into one another's eyes. Raoul whispered that he loved her but before Christine could say anything the thought of Erik came back into her mind. She replied with a smile and then they both ventured downstairs for dinner.

Erik lay there motionless as he saw Christine reject Raoul. A feeling of happiness that he never felt before swelled in his lower belly, but it quickly left him with a scar when they sang. Erik was powerless, he wanted to run downstairs to his lair and rid himself of this torment. But he couldn't move without being spotted and he stood there listening to the women he loves exchange her vows with another man. Erik found himself crying silent tears when they kissed at he felt like ending his miserable life at the moment. When they left he fell on his knees with tears streaming down his face. He cradled his face in his hand moaning her name in agony. He took the note that he had recently written her and had attended to leave on her desk from his pocket. He walked over to the edge where Raoul and Christine has just been and crumbled the paper in his hand. Then he dropped the note over the side letting the wind take it with his tears.

As he traveled back to his lair a anger filled in his being. "How dare she, after all I've done!" He forcefully pushed over candle holders and walked to his organ. He sat on his bench and began to pound on the keys silencing his cries of love and anger.
