thanks to everyone who reviewed, YOU ROCK!
Chapter 21
Raoul sat in his study, he had been sitting there for almost three hours and had no intention of moving. With each passing moment he had become more worried and felt closer to insanity.
Maybe I should have been more level minded
But she deliberately disobeyed me. She does not understand the pain that man has caused me.
Well I never actually sat down and described the feelings I had exactly.
But then I never thought anything like this would happen.
'anything like this?' She fell in love that is all right? Teenage girls do that often.
But not when they are betrothed.
But she said she did not love Fredrick. I was sure that he was the perfect match for her. God her mother was never this stubborn. She must have gotten that from me. I thought she would have realized her mistake and come home within a day.
Would you have left Christine so quickly?
This is nothing like that. What Christine and I had was true unshakable love, she is just a child she is not old enough to know true love.
She is a year older than Christine was.
A knock at the door interrupted his thoughts. He heard his butler greet the visitor, a few murmurs from a man then footsteps coming towards his study. Raoul looked up from the fire to see Fredrick standing in the doorway.
Fredrick had never seen Raoul look so distressed.
"Vicomte are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Just having a few struggles. Nothing I can't handle. Can I help you with something?" Raoul said.
"I was actually looking for Lizzie. Last time we spoke she seemed upset with me and I just wanted to apologize."
"You are a good man Fredrick and there is nothing that would make me more happy than to call you my son but I'm not sure if your right for my daughter."
"What?" Fredrick said in complete shock. "Was it something I did?"
"No," He stopped realizing this was not going to be as easy as he would have hoped. "I just think she needs some time to think about things. I sort of pressured her into this." Raoul watched as tears began to prickle in the young man's eyes." Remember she may choose you but I will not input on her decision." Fredrick nodded and said,
"I'm sorry Vicomte but if you will excuse me I have so business to take care of." Before Raoul could say anything Fredrick was headed towards the front door.
He sighed, but felt better. He had controlled his daughters life for to long and now was finally letting her live. All he had to do was figure out some way to call it truce with the Phantom. Or maybe he would get lucky and Lizzie would choose Fredrick. Either way Raoul would not interfere, unless it was absolutely necessary.
I know I made You wait longer for Erik's answer sorry I just had to sneak this chappie in...
The Winner Take All
From: 'Mamma Mia'
I don't wanna
talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now
it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've
done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The
winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the
victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I
belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a
fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I
was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a
dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses
someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to
fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
But
tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the
same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You
must know I miss you
But what can I say?
Rules must be
obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me
abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is
on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The
winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
'Cause it makes me
feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I
apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No
self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The
winner takes it all
The game is on agein
A lover or a
friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
The
winner takes it all
