Chapter 12 "God Bless the Broken Road"
Lizzie walked into the dining room., her father was not eating breakfast yet. She took her place at the table and she was quickly served by a butler. She buttered her croissant and took a bite. As she did this Raoul walked in and took his seat, he was also served.
"Are you still angry with me?" Lizzie did not make eye contact and did not answer his question. "Lizzie dear you must understand. If I ever lost you, I don't know what I'd do. You are the only thing in the world that matters to me." Lizzie gave him a sympathetic look, then said:
"Papa at least let me tell Pierre in person that I will not be able to continue with lessons."
"Can't you write him a letter?" Raoul said as he sipped his coffee.
"But a letter will not make it in time, he is expecting me today. If I do not come he will be worried." Raoul looked at her and sighed. "If the Opera Ghost has not bothered me yet, what could he do in one day?" She defended.
"Very well I suppose you are right, but after this you will not return to the Opera House."
"Alright." Lizzie lied. "Thank You Papa." She said as she stood to kiss him on the cheek. A smile rose to his face, as she left the room. Lizzie grabbed her purple cloak and went threw the front door. As always a carriage was waiting just outside.
The footmen helped her inside then gave the signal for the driver to go. They started at a walk but before they got to the main road they were at a swift canter.
It was not long before they were at the Opera Populaire, and Lizzie could get out. She walked through the double doors and maids greeted her with a smile. Lizzie returned the gesture. She moved down the hall to box five and inside. She pushed open the passage and went down the familiar hall. As she made it towards Erik's home she could hear a lovely melody being played. She slid open the door and saw Erik at his pipe organ. He was caught up in his music and did not notice her enter. She walked over to him and since he was still unaware of her presence she gently kissed his neck, he stopped playing and enjoyed the sensation of her lips on his bare neck. She stopped and whispered:
"Good Morning."
"Good Morning to you also." She sat next top him on the bench. "Lizzie I need to ask you something."
"Let me say something first." He nodded and she said in a more serious voice.
"Erik, my father has forbidden me from coming to the Opera again."
"Why?" Tears began to gather in her eyes. She sighed and answered.
"Because he thinks that you will try to hurt me. Before he didn't know you were alive, but he figured it out and…" She let her sentence trail, and a tear slid down her face. She gained her composure and explained further "I was thinking I could come at night when everyone was asleep. If that's alright with you?"
"Yes of course." She smiled and wiped a tear from her eye.
"So what did you want to ask me?"
"It's not important now."
"No what did you want to ask?"
"I was curious, would you like to go to the upcoming Opera with me? But that is not entirely possible anymore."
"We could figure something out. I could tell my father Fredrick invited me and he could not come and pick me up or something."
"Yes I suppose." She smiled and said
"What are they showing?" Her voice trembled with excitement.
"Romeo and Juliet." Lizzie smiled and said:
"How appropriate. Well I must be going, my father will be expecting me home soon. I was only supposed to tell Pierre I would not be able to come to the Opera any longer and leave."
"Who?"
"Oh, your cover name Pierre Yule." Erik nodded with a smile. "I'll see you tomorrow night." She said standing up, and leaning down to his lips. They shared another light kiss then she moved towards the door.
"Goodbye Erik."
"Goodbye." She opened the narrow tunnel and soon her senses were filled with well-known darkness.
I thought this song sort of related to this whole story cause you know Christine broke Erik's heart and now he has found Lizzie soo...yep, please r&r.
God Bless the Broken Road
By: Rascal Flats
I set out on
a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along
the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
wipe my brow and
kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed
straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you
are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern
stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I
know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me
straight to you
Yes he did
I think about the years I spent,
just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it
back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been
there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is
coming true
Every long lost dream, led me to where you
are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern
stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I
know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me
straight to you
Yeah
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my
lovers arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the
broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the
broken road
That led me straight to you
