Chapter Fourteen

Raoul's Confronted

After eating breakfast at a near by place, a carriage arrived to take them to the manor.

Erik was dreading this visit, the last time he and Raoul had seen each other he had broken his elbow and almost killed him. He has to hate him. "Christine do we have to do this?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because we're here."

Erik looked out the window and there was the Chagny family manor. "Come on Erik. Lets just get this over and done with." He didn't move from his seat. "Come on, or I'll go in without you." Once she said that he slowly rose from his seat and joined her. The intertwined their arms and approached the door. Erik reached out and knocked on the door. Jewel answered it.

"Oh Christine it is so good to see you. But what are you doing?"

"I am here to ask Raoul a few questions. That is all."

"But what if he tries to hurt you again?"

"That is why I brought Erik. He isn't bound to touch me since last time they met and he tried to hurt me he almost died. Does that make more since?"

"Yes. But he is busy right now. And I don't know if he wants to see you. Let me check. I'll be right back."

When Jewel returned she brought good news. "He is waiting for you. Christine you know where the bedroom is. Make it quick. He is still in a lot of pain, but got excited when I told him you were here to see him."

"Thank you Jewel." Christine led Erik up the stairs and down a very long hallway to a door that ended up in Raoul's bedroom, which was about the same size as Erik's whole lair.

"Hello Christine." He then glanced at Erik and eyed him with pleasure. What was he thinking? Christine walked up to Raoul and hugged him. "It's great to see you. How do you feel?"

"I feel fine. About that night I don't know why I went crazy. Thank you for sparing my life. I still don't understand why you did because I didn't deserve it. But thanks anyway."

Erik interrupted, "Christine. Where is the bathroom? I really have to go."

"It is the third door on the right from this room. Let me show you. I'll be right back Raoul." Christine left the room with Erik. "Here we are."

"Will you be alright with him alone for a moment?"

"I'll be fine. But do hurry."

When Christine returned Raoul was looking out the window. "Oh Christine I'm glad you came. I want you to meet someone. Bob would you come in." Then a man came in the room. And he walked over and hooked arms with Raoul.

"Um…Raoul I came to ask you a question. I heard that this morning you confessed something. What did you mean when you said you were gay?"

"That is why I want to introduce Bob to you. Now I'm am almost glad that you…" Erik had entered the room and returned to Christine's side. "…left me so I don't have to keep Bob a secret anymore. He is my boyfriend."

"Does that mean he is a boy that is your friend?" Christine was so confused her head hurt.

"No I mean that the way I should like girls, I really like boys. Now does that make sense?"

"No."

"It means I have sex with boys instead of girls."

All of a sudden Christine understood. She gasped and fainted, falling backwards into Erik's arms. And Erik was having a hard time believing what he had just heard. No wonder Raoul kept eyeing him funny. He had a crush on him. EWWWWWWW!

Erik now grossed out said, "I think we should leave now."

"No at least wait until she wakes up."

"O.k."

Raoul let Erik lay Christine in his bed until she woke up. Bob had left and Raoul kept looking at Erik in very strange ways making him feel very awkward. Finally Christine woke up. And Erik hurried her out of bed so they could go.
