A/N: I have two more chapters left after this one! I have to thank Nadia for reviewing, and here it is!
3. Confessions
Erik looked to the heavens and yelled, "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?"
A distant and whispery voice suddenly answered, "Look at you. You are what you see. Do you understand what it means to be what you are?" Erik quickly stood up and bowed, for he knew that this voice was one of authority. "You really do have a soul, Erik, and a beautiful one at that. I believe that you deserve a better life than the one you had. Tell me why I shouldn't keep you here."
He thought for a moment, carefully choosing his words. God would have laughed at Erik's facial expression, if the situation weren't so serious. Erik finally spoke with pure love and nothing but the truth, letting God know his choice.
"The answer is simple: I love Christine, and she loves me. She needs my help. I love her more than life itself, but what good is love if we are not together? Look, she prays to you now!" He had looked over to where Christine sat and saw her praying silently.When God did not reply back, Erik's heart sank thinking that Christine's God had forsaken him again. He snapped back to attention when he heard the voice, stern but loving.
"My son, I NEVER forsake you. It was you, who forsake me. Do you not remember the times when you cursed me for your deformity? Yes, I made you that way, but for a reason. I have given you numerous chances. The only one you took was to give your life to Christine. For, that is the one that counts." Erik thought he understood, and lowered his head in defeat.
He has misunderstood, but he will understand in time. All in good time, my son, all in good time.
A/N: The next chapter is a lot longer and there is a lot more fluff! This one doesn't have the major fluff I said it would, but it's actually the next chapter…sorry about that! Next chapter: Major fluffyness. Best chapter. Don't miss it!
