Finally, I have put up the final chapter. Sorry that it took so long, but I have been on vacation, and very busy. Please enjoy!

Christine

It was Erik. He began to sing to me and I immediately fell under his spell. I thought that when he showed up I would be able to contain myself, but I succumbed to him.

As I sang those words, "Our passion play has not at last begun," I realized how true they were. There really was no going back now. Unless…But no, I couldn't' do that. And yet, I knew I had to.

We were on the bridge, and he had me in his arms. He turned me to face him, and as I looked deep into his eyes, he sang, "Anywhere you go, let me go too. Christine, that's all I ask of…"

He was cut off when I ripped the mask and wig off. There he was, practically naked in front of the world. He looked at me, and his eyes were filled with sadness. I regretted it, but knew there was no other way.

Before I knew what was happening, he cut down a couple ropes and we were falling down to his dungeon.

Meg

The chandelier began to sway, and quickly started to fall. I screamed, and scanned the crowd to see if Christian had moved out of the way.

"Christian!" I yelled. He was still in his seat. People kept climbing over him to escape, and he couldn't get up. He looked up at me, and smiled a sad smile. Then, before I could do anything, the chandelier came crashing down, and Christian was trapped forever.

I fell down and began to cry. He was gone. Just like that, and I would never see him again. Mama helped me up, and together we left the burning building.

"Please Meg, do not fret over this. Just think, now he can be with Satine once more."

I thought about this and realized that even if we did marry, he would always hold her in his heart somewhere. I looked up to the sky, and whispered, "Bye Christian."

Erik

I sat down on my bed, and sang the masquerade song softly, watching the monkey play its music. I had let them go. She kissed me. Oh, and I never felt anything so wonderful. It made me see that all of this wasn't worth it. So, I let them go. Her and the boy. I still had tears in my eyes, and yet, I did nothing to stop them from flowing. I looked up, and saw Christine standing before me.

"Christine I love you," I sang to her. She walked over to me, and pressed her ring into my hand. Then, with a small smile, she left me forever.

I thought to myself, I guess our story did turn out like Christian's and Satine's. Though I didn't lose the woman I love to death, knowing that she would forever be with another man would haunt me forever.

I got up and headed out through a mirror that hid a passage. I vowed never to return, and never to forget one thing: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.

The End

A/N: Ok. First of all, thank you for reading. I'm really sorry if it didn't make much sense, but it was kinda hard to do. Yeah, so, that's it. Go read my other story. Or, go outside, ride a bike. But remember, the greatest thing you'll ever learn, is to love and be loved in return.

Peace OUT!
