Chapter 10

No Return

Two and a half weeks later

Bleeuuuggh! Meg holds Eva's hair back as she pukes into the toilet. She brings her head up and coughs. "Oh, Eva! This is the fifth time you have thrown up today! What is going on?" Eva shakes her head. Meg smirks and thinks for a moment. Then she bulges her eyes.

"Wait…Didn't you sleep with Erik a little less than a month ago?"

"Yeah."

"Eva…what if you're," she gulps. "Pregnant?" Now Eva's eyes bulge and then she bursts into tears. "Oh, Meg! You're right! Now that I think about it, I have had all the symptoms of pregnancy. I have nausea, heart burn, I am very tired, and I'm late." Meg throws her arms around Eva and cradles her as she cries into her shoulder. "It's going to be okay. But you need to tell Erik." Eva jumps out of the hug. "Meg! Oh my god! How am I going to tell Erik? What if he doesn't even remember it? We were drunk! Meg, what if he doesn't love me back?" Meg shakes her head and grabs her shoulders. "No, no, no! He has to love you! You slept with him and he took you to the Masquerade! He seems to have been nothing but romantic to you!" Eva shrugs and sniffs, wiping away a tear. "I'll tell him later today. I am seeing him today." Meg nods.

"I should go back to my room and rest." Eva gets up and Meg follows. "Are you going to be alright?" Eva nods and walks out of the bathroom down the hall. Meg just stands there and doesn't follow. When Eva gets to her room, she opens her door and gasps. "Erik! I didn't think you would be here so early!" He walks up to her at the door. "I am sorry. I was just lonely and thought we could get together." She half smiles and nods. Erik furrows his brow. He lifts her chin to look at her. "Have you been crying?" She just shrugs. "I'm fine." She walks past him and goes to her mirror. But he just follows. "No, you aren't. What's wrong? You can tell me anything."

"I said I am fine!"

Erik stumbles back at her fury. Eva obviously sees this and walks up to him. "Sorry, Erik. I am just a little stressed. Could we go down to your lair and sing? I think your voice will calm me down." He smiles at her and nods, taking her hand. They walk up to the mirror and he slips it open and they walk through. Eva and Erik go through a series of passageways and they are finally in his lair. He doesn't let go of her hand until they get to the organ. "What song would you like? Anything in particular?" She nods and says, "Play that song from Don Juan. I will sing her part." He nods and pulls out the sheet music. He starts to play and sing the first verse. Then, Eva starts to sing.

You have brought me,

To the moment where words run dry.

To that moment where daylight disappears into silence.

Silence.

I have come here hardly knowing the reason why.

In my mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining,

Defenseless and silent.

Now I am here with you.

No second thought.

I've decided.

Decided.

Erik loves Eva's voice. But she sounds so much like Christine that it is bringing back so many bad memories of the night of Don Juan. But he isn't going to stop play. Eva sounds so sexy. He thinks. Then he goes back to listening to Eva.

Past the point of no return.

No going back now.

Our passion-play has now at last begun.

Past all thought of right or wrong.

One final question.

How long should we to wait before we're one?

When will the blood begin to race?

The sleeping bud burst into bloom?

When will the flames at last consume us?

Eva grabs Erik hands off the organ and puts them into a position for them to dance. "Keep going." She whispers. He nods. And then leads their dance around the room as they sing.

Past the point of no return.

The final threshold.

The bridge is crossed so stand,

And watch it burn.

We've past the point of no return.

Their song dies and they stand, still in position, staring at each other. Eva smiles and Erik returns it. She then moves her arms and puts them around his waist, hugging him. He returns the hug, squeezing her tight. "Thank you." She whispers into his chest. "You're welcome." He whispers back. She then pulls out of the hug and looks up at him again. She puts her hand on her cheeks, pulls him down and kisses him. She releases and Erik backs away with a confused look on his face. "Eva…" he whispers. Her smile fades. "What?" He shakes his head. She feels herself starting to tear up. "You don't love me…do you?" He tries to come closer to her, but she just backs away.

A tears falls down her cheek. "We made love, Erik! That meant nothing to you?!" Erik sighs. "We were drunk, Eva." She starts to cry, fully. "I'm sorry, Eva. Let me-""NO! Don't come near me!" She puts her hand up to stop him. "Just because I don't love you, doesn't mean I don't care. We are great friends. Please believe me." She stops crying and inhales sharply. "I am just going to leave. I'm never returning." She storms past him and goes toward the passageway. Then she stops in her tracks and turns to face him again. "By the way," He turns and faces her now, with a look of pity.

"I'm pregnant! With your baby!"
