More wedding plans
I do not own P.O.T.O
Christine and Erik spent whole morning discussing their wedding plans. They were sitting on the sofa, when Meg came running up to the gate. She was drenched with water.
''Christine!''
''Meg! What are you doing here?'' Christine laughed. She walked down the steps and into the lake. Meg started to shiver and her lips were turning blue.
''I-I c-came to see how you were doing. Did you figure out all of the wedding plans?''
''Yes. Hold on, I'll open the gate.''
Christine walked over to the lever and pulled it down. Meg ducked under and waded through the water. She got out and wrung the edge of her dress out into the lake. Christine walked over and they both started talking about the wedding. Erik got up and walked over towards them.
''Well, who are we inviting?''
''Well, Erik, we only have Mme Giry and Meg.''
''And my friend, Nadir.''
''You have a friend?''
Both Christine and Meg stared at Erik anxiously and waited for him to tell them about him. Erik sighed and told them about Nadir. When he was done, Christine and Meg stared at him with wide eyes and open mouths.
''You were going to be killed and he saved you?'' Christine asked. He nodded his head and she continued to stare at him. ''Well, invite him to our wedding, then.''
Erik smiled and Christine gave him a light kiss. Meg started to walk towards the gate, but Christine stopped her.
''Meg, where are you going?''
''Oh, I...uh...have some things to do. I just wanted to see if you had everything planned for the wedding.''
''Alright. I'll see you later, Meg.''
''Bye.''
With that, Meg ducked back under the gate and waded through the underground lake. Erik closed the gate back up and then, he turned to Christine and smiled devilishly. He made his way over to her and started to kiss her. Christine smiled and they went and sat back on the sofa.
Meg walked through the cellars and up through the secret passage her mother showed her. When she was out, she went back to her room and grabbed her cloak. Then, she went back out to the stables and got a cab. She rode to the cemetary and opened the gate. As she walked through the grass, she looked at the statues and monuments. She tried to hold back her tears. She walked up to the grave that read Raoul de chagny and she brushed her fingers across the stone. Then, she looked at the one next to it that read Philippe de chagny and she let out a sob. She burst into tears and fell down to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. She curled up into a ball and lay on the hard ground. She didn't care if people saw her crying or if she lost her dignity by breaking down in the middle of a cemetary. She wept for a few minutes and treid to drain out all of her tears. The feeling of a hand on her shoulder made her stop and turn around. There stood a boy of about her age.
''Madamoiselle, are you alright? I saw you crying and I wanted to help you.''
''No, I'm not alright. The only one I ever loved is..is...gone!''
''Madamoiselle, I'm so sorry.''
''It's alright, I'm just so unhappy.''
''Here, I'll take you home. Where do you live?''
''The opera house.''
''Ok, I'll take you there.''
''Thank you. You're very nice.''
They left the cemetary and he called for a cab. They got inside and started off towards the opera house. When they got there, Meg thanked the kind boy and she ran inside.
''Meg Giry, where have you been?'' Mme Giry demanded when Meg ran inside. Meg stopped and looked down at her feet.
''A-at the cemetary.''
''For what reason?'' she demanded again.
''T-to see Philippe's grave. I miss him.''
''Meg, I know that you miss him, but running off without telling me is...is...''
The old ballet teacher sighed and hugged her daughter. Then, she walked off, shaking her head. Why did young girls always do these things? Meg watched her mother walk off and then headed in her own direction.
Erik and Christine sat on the sofa, cuddling. Erik held Christine in his arms and kissed her head.
''Christine, are you really going to marry me?''
Of course, Erik. Why wouldn't I? I love you.''
Erik smiled at her words and started to stroke her hair lovingly.
''Oh, I just wanted to know.''
Christine turned to face him and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss. Soon, very soon, they would be married.
