Ok, so I redid this chapter and will be redoing another chapter. Nothing too serious, just before. Raoul was just way out of character so I am changing that a bit to where to its not completely crazy. so I hope you like it and R&R!


Christine

I miss him. every day. I should have never left him, or played along with the plan to capture him, I love him, I didn't want any harm to him. He was my angel. I miss his voice singing to me. Raoul never understood. He didn't hurt me he would never! He loves me! the only one who has hurt me is Raoul! Since the day Sophie was born things started to go strange. He started drinking, he would come home drunk, and things were just bad. I still let it alone, he still doesn't know that he is not the dad of Sophie, She is only 2 months old. But I am afraid to tell him. I need to confront him. I need to face my fears, for if he doesn't stop, I am going to have to take my baby and leave.

I went to his study that day, I stood by the door and took a deep breath then I walked in.

"Raoul, dear, we need to discuss something." I began.

"Oh yes dear what is it?" he laughed so hard he fell over. I could tell he'd been drinking.

"You need to stop drinking." I said in a scolded tone. he gave me an awkward look. "It's not good for you. we have a child now and you need to start being responsible."

"Why? I don't drink that much." Raoul said.

"Raoul, yes you do, ever since Sophie was born you've been like this." I exclaimed.

"Christine, that's not true."

"Fine, but please will you just stop?" I guess he was getting angry, and I saw a side I never saw of him.

"I don't have a problem! I don't, ok? Just leave Christine. Just leave!"

Tears balled up in my eyes, he never denied and yelled at me like that before. "Raooul I was just say-".

"I said LEAVE! Leave me alone!" I walked up to him to try to calm him down, and he was very angry I guessed because of the alcohol, When I walked over his back was to him so I thought I would gently hug him to get him to calm down, but before I knew it he turned around too quickly and struck me with his hand leaving a bruise upon my cheek.

"You! You think he is the monster, your wrong!" I screamed as tears ran down my cheek, "the only monster I see is YOU!"

"Christine!" he shouted. maybe he didn't mean too, but I just couldn't do it anymore. I didn't want Sophie in that. I ran out. asked the maids to pack mine and sophie's belongings into my big suitcase. then I grabbed sophie, and the suitcase and I ran away. I didn't know where I was going, I just knew I had to get out of there!

He ran after me but, I was already on my horse.

"Christine, Wait! I didn't mean too! Bring Sophie back!" he yelled out at me.

"She's not yours! she is mine and my angel of music's baby!" I yelled back with more anger than ever. I don't know what got into me but I just let the truth slip.

I had a place in mind, I am going to need shelter and care and most importantly money to take care of little Sophie! And it was time he knew. I found my way back to the opera house, hoping he's still here. The opera house looked the same before the disaster happened. It still was under the same management. Mosieur Firmin and Mosieur Andre. I arrived there bout late afternoon, I sat on my horse, too afraid to walk in. what if he was in there? what if he hated me! I started to sing...to push the fears past...I remembered part of the song when I first performed. it made me think of him...

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...

I stopped, I saw someone walk out of the doors of the opera house. it was Madame Giry she ran back in so quickly. she saw me I suppose.
