The Quarrel

When Raoul entered the house, he was greeted by a cold glare from a pair of hazel eyes.

Raoul flinched when he saw it was Christine sitting by the dinning table.

"Christine, sweetheart! Why are you up so late?" Raoul asked.

He hung his jacket up and made his way towards Christine.

Just before he reached her, Christine suddenly stood up so fast that she roughly knocked over her chair.

"Don't…Come ANY closer, Raoul de Chagny…" Christine snapped.

Raoul hesitated with a puzzled look on his face.

Christine's expression did not change and she held up Meg's letter slowly.

Raoul narrowed his eyes at it and when he recognized it, he gave a sharp gasp.

"This…Don't deny it Raoul. It is only YOU who could have done it. YOU who would have hid it behind the cutlery cabinet. YOU who would do such a thing to me. YOU WHO WOULD LIE TO ME! HIDE SECRETS FROM ME!" Christine screamed.

Raoul pleaded, "Christine, please…Don't be angry, I didn't mean – "

"You didn't want me to return, didn't you! YOU WANTED ME TO LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! HOW COULD YOU EVEN BEAR TO THINK OF SUCH ATROSITY! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME LIVE!"

Silence covered over the small room.

"Well!" Christine demanded.

Then, avoiding eye contact with Christine, Raoul softly confessed, "Because…I love you, Christine. I knew that if I told you everything you would want to know, you would go back. And I would lose you again…God; I know it was wrong to do that to you but…"

Raoul sighed.

Christine showed no pity for him.

"Raoul, I am not going to take in that excuse any longer. We promised each other that we would never keep secrets between each other. And you broke it, Raoul. From the moment I saw this letter hidden behind the china, I swore that I would not let you go easily. I'm not the young Little Lotte you once knew any longer! So you can't keep treating me like one! I trusted you! I'm a woman, Raoul! Not a child! I can think for myself and know what is best for me without you controlling what I should do! Why can't you understand that!"

Raoul muttered softly, "Because I don't want to lose you…"

Christine's icy glare did not fade, "And I suppose you think caging me up like some kind of animal and banishing me from what I should know will make you not lose me! I cannot understand WHY you would think of it that way!"

Then finally, Christine face softened and she touched Raoul by the face, "Where was the Raoul I knew once before? The one who would understand me and try to compromise every time I made my decision. Why are you someone who would rather want me to live according to you? Don't you ever stop to think how I would feel?"

Raoul hugged Christine and whispered, "I'm so sorry…"

Christine gently hugged back.

Raoul felt tears falling from his eyes.

He was losing Christine anyhow. Even if he wasn't, some day he would.

He could help hating her Angel.

This…this thing which stole her from him! Oh how he wished he met Christine before she met her Angel in the Opera House.

He wished Christine did not leave so soon right after the passing of her Father.

He wished that he arrived a little earlier to the cemetery and that one mistake had taken Christine away from him.

But it was too late.

All should be as it is but Raoul still wasn't ready to accept that.

"Christine…I won't let you go…" Raoul whispered back.

Christine angrily pulled away from him, "I don't understand you, Raoul. I have tried to, and I thought you have tried to understand me but it seems not..."

Raoul avoided eye contact with Christine again.

"You know what, Raoul? I think it was you…It was you wasn't it! Is this another thing you lied to me about!" Christine raged.

"What? I don't under – "

"You were the one who hit me unconscious, the night I left my Angel all alone! You told me that I just fainted but now I don't recall doing so! I believed what you said for the past two months and now, I shall not!"

Christine broke free from Raoul and stormed to her room.

Raoul quickly scurried behind her.

But Christine was too quick and with one swift move, she banged the spare room door shut and turned the key.

Raoul banged the door furiously, "Christine! Please! You don't – "

Christine slid down to the floor as she leaned against the door.

"Christine! Please open up!" Raoul pleaded.

"I'm leaving, Raoul…I'm going to stay with Meg and Madame Giry. They offered me to come back and I shall take that offer now. I shall leave straight tomorrow. And you can't stop me…"

"CHRISITNE! NO! PLEASE DON'T – "

"Raoul...Just go away…Please!" Christine sobbed.

Finally, Raoul's banging died down and the sound of his footsteps was heard walking away.

Christine stared up into the darkness of the room with shiny eyes and whispered:

Angel of Music

Where are you hiding?

Angel of Music

Please don't leave me

Stay by my side

Love Me…

A/N: Sorry if I did make Christine a little OOC here but hey, I did say she was going to kick butt! Do I have to remind you again? Okay I won't...'ll let you know that you are suppose to...okay, bye now. (goes away) ... (suddenly comes rushing back) You really didn't think I was going did you? Ahem...REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! PEACE!
