A/N- So sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have been busy with school. But here is the new chapter and I hope you enjoy.

Erik POV

' Oh shit shes coming this way' My heart stopped. I had to stay still. I couldn't let her see me. She'd think I'm stalking her or something.

Christine POV

' I sense someone is here' " Hello?" I look around. Nothing. I start to walk away.

Erik POV

' Oh no she knows I'm here. Just keep silent' I look over slightly to see her start to walk away. ' Thank God!' I wait a couple of minutes before emerging from my spot just in case. "Phew. That was a close one." Grrrr I grab my stomach. "Guess that means its time to eat." I chuckle to myself and walk to the mini mart. I open the door and there she is. I look down. 'She looks so innocent. Like a lost child.' I look back up and her eyes meet mine.

Christine POV

'It's him.' All I could do was stare. He looked so handsome. I zone back in to realize we are locking eyes. ' Oh I never noticed his eyes were green. How lovely they are.'

Erik POV

'Why is she staring? Is there something on me?' She approaches me. I speak first.

"Well hello there."

"Hello. I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Well I live right down the street. Why wouldn't I come here?"

"You seem like the more distant type of person."

"Oh?" I raise my eyebrow.

"Yeah… Anyway why are you here? Are you following me?" My face goes numb. She starts to laugh.

"Oh" I chuckle myself. "So what are you doing? I thought you said you had to go home."

" I did but I felt like running."

"Oh?"

"Yeah I run a lot."

"Care if I join you?"

"If you can keep up."

"Oh believe me I think I will be fine."

"Ok. I'm going to run the trail. I just wanted to grab some water."

"Oh that's a good idea." After we buy our water we head out and start to jog.

"So how long have you lived here?" I asked.

" I just got the house a few months ago. I hated it here at first."

"Oh why was that?"

"It just seemed so depressing for me. I mean I don't know anyone here and I just didn't want to deal with it."

"Oh? Well you have a friend now."

She smiled. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"So I have a question"

"Go for it!"

"Are you related to the real Phantom of the Opera?"

I stop dead in my tracks. 'Did she just ask what I think she did?'
