Auditions and moving back in
Disclaimer: I do not own P.O.T.O
It was the day after Erik and Christine had moved back down into Erik's home. It was also the day of the auditions for the next opera and Christine was a nervous wreck. Erik kept assuring her that she would do fine, but she still paced around the room in nervousness. When it was time for auditions, Erik took her up through her dressing room. Then, he sat in box 5 and waited for her to go on. When she came on, he smiled an waited for her to start. The piano started to play and she started.
Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for meWe never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember
stop and think
of me . . .
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you . .We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but please
promise me,
that sometimes
you will think
of me
She finished and the managers clapped and cheered. Christine blushed and walked to the backstage area.
''Christine!'' someone yelled. Christine looked over and saw Meg running at her. Meg hugged her and Christine laughed.
''Meg!''
Meg let go of her and laughed.
''Where have you been these past few months? I started to miss you alot. You know after..''
''It's ok, Meg. Everything's fine now.''
''How's Raoul?''
Christine fell silent. She looked away and sighed.
''He's fine. I hope.''
''What do you mean?''
''I left him.''
''Why?''
''I didn't really love him. There was someone else.''
''Who?''
''I'll tell you later.''
The two of them skipped around and talked. Meg was going to be a dancer again and her mother was going to teach again. Mme Giry came and said hello to Christine. Then, she and Meg went home and Christine went into her dressing room. Eri kwas waiting for her and they both went back down to the lair.
Raoul went to the meeting and came back. He was tired, but wanted to do something. He pulled out a pen and some paper and started to write. When he was done, he walked up to the front desk and asked the woman if her could have it mailed to Paris. The woman nodded and looked at the address. Raoul handed her the letter and went back to his room to relax.
It was a few days after the auditions and Christine found out that she had gotten the lead part. She kissed Erik and went to go tell Meg the great news. Meg squealed and they both jumped up and down. Mme Giry laughed and took Meg off to ballet practice. Christine walked down the corridors and behind the backdrops. Suddenly, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. It was black. She saw it move around another backdrop. She followed it until she couldn't see it anymore. She turned and saw Erik standing right behind her. She nearly screamed, but he put his hand over her mouth. They both started laughing and he wrapped his cloak around her. He held her in a kiss and then they pulled apart. They went back down to the lair and Erik gave Christine her singing lesson.
A few days later, Christine and Erik were sitting on the couch, cuddlingwhen Mme Giry came to the gate.
''Erik.'' she called. Erik got up and went to open the gate, annoyed. Mme Giry walked over to him.
''The vicomte is looking for Christine.'' she stated, out of breath. Erik's eyes flared with anger and he told Mme Giry to leave. When she was gone, he closed the gate and turned to Christine.
''What did you tell him?'' he asked angrily. Christine stood and walked toward him.
''I didn't tell him anything, darling.''
Erik grabbed her shoulders and pulled her closer. She closed her eyes and whimpered.
''What did you tell him?'' he asked again. His breath was hot on her face.
''I told him not to worry or to come looking for me.'' she merely whispered. Erik let go of her and turned around. Christine was afraid of his sudden change of mood. She moved towars him again and layed her hand on his shoulder.
''Erik, I swear, that's all I told him.''
He turned back around and let out a sigh.
''I know. I just don't want to lose you again. I love you, Christine.''
He embraced her and then led her back to the couch. Christine layed against him and hummed. Erik burried his face in her curls. It started to get cold, so Erik grabbed ablanket for them. He and Christine spent most of the day like that. Later, Erik worked on his music and they went to sleep.
Raoul was just arriving back home and he was exhausted. He had spent most of his time worrying about Christine on his trip. He went home and fell onto the bed. He sat up and looked around. It was fell empty without Christine. Raoul shook the thught of her from his mind and went to wash up.
Please review! I know it was shory, but it's all I could think of for now.
