okay I rewrote some of this chapter because I hated it the other way. In case you haven't noticed I really am beggining to loath this story, I am going to finish it but it might take a while. Thanks for reading :D

Someone yelling his name stirred Erik from his sleep. He recognized the voice as Nadir's, he was coming into the Lair. Erik got up from the bed and walked to the lake. Sure enough there was his old friend coming in on the boat, with a gleeful smile and a paper in his hand.

"Why are you here so early?" Was all Erik could say.

"I just thought I'd come and check up on my favorite Ghost." Erik gave him a skeptical look then replied,

"That's it?"

"Well no I came to give you this letter. It's from my employer Sebastian Reid. He is looking to open a shop strictly for music and he thinks it would bring in more customers if he could advertise Voice Lessons as well." Erik sighed.

"Tell him I said 'Thank you for your interest but I must decline.'" Nadir looked disappointed but, handed him the letter and said,

"Think about it." With that he left Erik's home.

Erik shook his head but non-the-less broke the seal on the note and read it,

Dear Mr. Destler,

I am writing because I am interested in your services. Nadir has told me you are quite the singer and have taught a few pupils your talents.

I shall be opening a small music store at the end of the month. If you help me bring in a small profit, you will be greatly rewarded. Your swiftness to England would be greatly appreciated.

Hope to see you in London,

Sebastian Reid

Erik read the letter over the threw it to the ground. 'It's pointless,' he thought. 'I could never just leave Lizzie.' Erik walked back into the bedroom and laid next to the women he loved. He breathed in her scent of lavender and vanilla. Felt her slow deep breathing against him, and was soon back to sleep him self.

"Erik? C'mon Sleeping Beauty, time to get up." 'How long has it been since I feel asleep? 5, 10 minutes tops.' He thought. Without warning he put his arm around her and pulled her down next to him. Lizzie let out a small scream but that was soon over come with laughter.

Erik pulled her closer held her to him.

"No, we can't just lie in bed all day." She said as if she were an impatient child.

"Fine, fine I'll get up. Damn Nadir and him coming so early."

"Nadir stopped by? What did he need?" Lizzie Inquired

"He gave me a letter, from his employer, Sebastian Reid. He wanted me to work for him in his music store in London."

"Oh?"

"Yes, but I haven't made a decision yet, but I would love to take this opportunity. Imagine it Lizzie you and me together, finally. Starting anew in a country where we are not the Opera Ghost and the Vicomte's daughter but Erik and Lizzie, free to do what we please instead of being stopped by the name society has given us."

"Erik, you make it sound so easy, but I cannot leave my father here in France alone. He only wants what is best for me and I am all he has. Erik sighed then said,

"You are right, we will stay here then."

"Erik no, you should go. You want this, it may be your last chance at… at… well normalcy."

"But Lizzie you-"

"I will always be here Erik."

"Alright." Erik said adverting his eyes to the ground.

"When do they want you in London?"

"As soon as possible."

"I guess we should probably hurry then." Lizzie said with a half hearted smile.
