Scene 13: Go Now and Leave Me

Erik was silent for a while with Christine standing behind him with her hand still on his shoulder. After a while her hand slowly slid off his shoulder.

"Why are you afraid to trust me? Why do you keep everything inside, hidden away from me?" Christine said her voice getting softer with each word.

"You left me once, I'm afraid that once I get to close to you, you might leave me again. You broke my heart once, all because I was careless with how I acted around you. I don't want that to happen again." he said walking back to his chair.

"Erik!" Christine said stopping him in his tracks, "I just might leave you if you keep this up. I can't live like this. I can't stand not having trust between us. It was you who said that we needed trust. It was you who said..." she was interupted by Erik

"I don't care what I said anymore. I just want my own privacy."

"Fine, you want your own privacy? You got it. I am leaving." Christine said turning on her heal and heading towards the lake.

Erik sat there telling himself he had done the right thing not getting too close this time. He told himself that is was for the best. Yet some how, he knew that something wasn't right. (A/N: Of course something isn't right, Christine is leaving you. Which means you don't have anyone. OHHH OHH PICK ME PICK ME! Sorry had to say that) But yet he sat there not knowing what to do. So he continued his work.

Christine rowed the boat on with all her strength. When she reached shore she climbed the stairs and pulled the mirror open. She ran out of the Opera house and down the street, not knowing where she was going to go. The skies rang with thunder and it began to rain. Which to Christine, told her that Erik was really mad. Christine looked for shealter in anyway she could. She didn't find any place that would let her spend the night. But she couldn't blame them, she had no money, and she didn't look very presentable. So she found a covered spot in an alley and curled up in a ball to fall asleep. (A/N: I never thought I would write the day when Christine would be stuck out on the streets. Okay that was the last one...for now. MWHAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay I am done.)

Erik was begining to get worried, he really thought that Christine would have just stayed up in the opera house, but he had gone up to her old dressing room to find it empty along with the rest of the building. He pulled his cloak over his broad shoulders, secured his mask and let the Opera House.

Christine woke up to a still dark sky, she couldn't have been asleep for very long, but she couldn't really sleep. So she decided to walk around. She turned a corner to run into someone.

"Sorry." She mumbled, but never saw the face of the person.

Erik didn't reconize Christine, with her hair limp and damp, not soft and curly as it usually was, her dress soaking wet. He just thought that it was some thug, and was reminded of himself many years ago. Christine never looked up to see the person who she ran into. but apologized quickly and kept walking. She thought it rude that the person didn't alopogize to, it wasn't completely her fault.Erik felt sorry for the person he ran into and turned around to apologize.

"Excuse me," he said hoping to catch the person attention.

The person turned around and Erik reconized Christine.

"Christine?"

"Erik!"

Erik ran to her and hugged her. She did not return the embrace.

"What's the matter Christine?" Erik asked letting her go.

"I thought that you wanted your privacy?" Christine said turning around to walk away but Erik grabbed her arm and held her there so she couldn't leave.

"I did, but now I can't stand it. I need you."

"Erik, I...I... I can't stand it without you either. But you really hurt me."

"Well would you like to talk about, I mean, I am some one who knows all about it. Right?"

Erik wrapped his cloak and arms around Christine, and they walked back to the Opera house in silence.

(Okay so since the last few chappies have been kinda short, I decided that you all needed a long chappie, so I hope you all enjoy. Please R&R for if my demands are ignored, a disaster beyond your imagination will occur.)
