As soon as Christine kissed Erik all her doubts disappeared. She felt him tense up, but after a few seconds he hesitantly kissed her back. Christine placed her arms around his neck, however knew immediately it was a mistake. The moment her hands touched his neck, he came to his sense. He threw himself away from her, falling on the floor with his hurry. He quickly picked himself up, and stood supported by the table.
"What are you doing?" He hissed, angrily.
All Christine could think was that she had made a terrible mistake. He didn't love her anymore. She tried to speak, opening and closing her mouth, but no sound came out. She hadn't seen him this mad since she took off his mask for the first time. "I'm sorry," she finally croaked, tears filling her eyes.
"Your sorry!" Erik roared throwing his hands up in the air.
"Please Erik, you'll wake up Madeline and Madame Giry," she whispered frightened.
"You should have thought of that before," he shouted. He grabbed Christine by her arm, and pushed her into a corner.
"Erik please," she whimpered. "You're hurting me."
"You don't know anything of pain!" He shouted, pushing his body against her so she couldn't move.
Christine struggled against him, despite his size and strength. "Please stop Erik."
Feeling her struggling body against him, and the look of terror on her face, he came to his senses. He pulled away from her, and left slamming the door behind him.
Christine couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She laid down on the piano bench and cried.

Madame Giry entered Christine's room the next morning, and was not surprised to see her laying in bed staring out the window, tears leaking out of her eyes.
"Have some tea my dear. It will make you feel better," Madame Giry coaxed, putting the tea tray on Christine's night table, and sitting on the bed next to her. Christine's eyes were puffy, and blood shot, with bags under her eyes. Her hair was a mess, and the bed sheets where tangled. Madame Giry could tell she had not gotten any sleep that night
"I love him," Christine whispered, not entirely aware of what she was saying.
"Shh. I know," Madame Giry said rubbing her back soothingly. "Come have some tea." She poured Christine a cup, and put some sugar in it. "Here drink this."
Christine struggled to sit up. With shaking hands, she took the cup of tea, and brought it to her lips. Her chattered on the edge of the cup, but she managed to drink a little. The tea felt so good going down. She had a sore throat from crying all night, and it made it feel so much better.
"Now take a deep breath," Madame Giry commanded, "and tell me what happened."
"I couldn't sleep last night, so decided to walk around the house. I headed to the music room and heard music. Erik was inside writing a lullaby for Madeline, and I asked to hear it. He started playing, and I knew loved him," She spoke sobbing hysterically the whole time. "But he doesn't love me! He hates me! I kissed him, and he got so mad! He hurt me."
Madame Giry looked up sharply at these words. "What did he do?" She asked furious with Erik.
"He grabbed my wrists and pushed me into a corner. Then suddenly he let me go," her whole body shock with sobs. "I don't know why I did it. I don't know why!" She threw herself at Madame Giry, burying her head in her lap.
Madame Giry stroked her hair, letting her cry herself out. After a few minutes Christine stopped crying. "I'm sure he doesn't hate you my dear. Don't worry things will work out." When she got no response from Christine, she realized she had fallen asleep. Gently she put her head on her pillow, and tucked her in. Next she took Madeline from her crib, so she wouldn't disturb her mother. Then she left the room, closing the door behind her.

A/N: I am worried about what you guys will think about how Erik took the kiss. He didn't mean to hurt Christine, he was just angry. He has an awful temper, and I think it can sometimes lead him to do things he wouldn't normally do. He is not abusive. I just wanted to clear that up just in case.
Review!
