I need to go in. I have to go in! I can't just stand here. Sophie will start to wake up, knowing she is only 2 months old she is going to be hungry. I decided to go in and talk to the managers, then maybe just maybe face him. tell him about what happened and sophie.
the doors flung open as I walked up the steps.
"Oh Mrs. Daae! or is it Mrs. De changne?" Firmin excitedly asked.
"Dechangne unfourtunately." I sighed.
"What on earth happened to you my dear?" Andre asked. I had no intentions of letting the two managers know of what Raoul did.
"Oh just a accident, I went to check on Sophie, and tripped and hit my cheekI lied and laughed at it hoping they would buy it. then they finally noticed Sophie asleep in my arms.
"Oh she's so cute! She's going to be an amazing singer just like her mother!" was their response.
"Anyway, what brings you to the opera house?" Firmin asked.
"Well, I was interested in joining again." I said confident for once.
"Really?" they both said excitedly, "We would love for you to join us. come we will get you settled right away."
"Great, my only concern is Sophie." I said.
"Whats wrong with staying with the Vicomte?" Andre asked curious.I didn't want to tell him.
"Raoul is going through some family stuff, right now he said its best he did it alone." I lied again.
"Well, then theres an extra bed but we don't have cribs...so she can stay with you if you like."
Oh thank you so much!"
I finally was happy that day, I followed the managers inside, and then soon I found myself really tired so I headed to the dormitories but ended running into Madame Giry.
"My dear, you are back! that is wonderful!" She said."And who might this be?"
"this is Sophie, my uh daughter." I said. I wonder if I can tell her.
"My God, what happened to your face! it looks like it was hit." She said in horror. Ok I had to tell her at least.
"He hit me. He was so drunk! hes a monster now! Raoul hit me!" I began to cry I just couldn't believe he would actually hit me.
"What?" she was in shock. "The boy who tried with all his heart to protect you, harmed you!"
"Yes, I know its shocking." I was still sobbing.
Madame Giry walked me and sophie all the way back to the dormitories where I layed sophie down. then I asked a simple question to Madame Giry.
"Is he here?" I asked.
"Yes"
