Please review! And I would like to thank Idara for her sweet comments.
Emily's POV
"Good job, Emily. You did wonderful." Madame Giry congratulated me.
"Thank you. I have to admit I was quiet nervous."
"It was you first opera after all." Meg told me cheerily. "Don't worry it was great." I sighed and looked at my fiancé Christophe.
"Well tonight is the night." He said happily. Meg giggled and Madame Giry patted my back.
"Perhaps this is for the best." I nodded knowingly. She was referring to the fact that I was no longer with him.
"Well we best be on our way." Christophe said.
"You're right." I agreed as I waved good bye to Meg and Madame Giry. Before we could get to the foyer Papa came over to us.
"Congratulations my dear. Not only were you wonderful in the Opera but you are going to marry a man of high stature." I could tell he was drunk.
"Papa go and discuss matters with Andre. You are both very drunk." I said as Andre stumbled into the room.
"Yes! That is good. He stumbled over to Andre and the greeted each other and started talking much too loudly." Christophe chuckled and I tried to suppress a giggle but failed.
"Oh yes I almost forgot." Christophe pulled me over to the side of the stairs where we could get a little privacy. "This is for you." He said as he opened a box and showed me the contents.
I looked inside. It was a beautiful diamond necklace which matched the ring he had given me. "Oh Christophe, it's beautiful. It must have cost a fortune. You should take it back dear." He smiled and took it out of the box before placing it around my neck.
"Only the best for you." He said sweetly before kissing my neck just above the diamonds. I smiled and hugged him.
"Thank you." I looked over to the door, remembering that we should leave soon. As I did I saw Christine enter the foyer with a few bags. If Christine was here Erik couldn't be too far behind. When she went toward the dormitories I took Christophe's hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked as I pulled him toward the door.
"I want to get married sometime today." I said giving him a smiled so he wouldn't suspect anything.
"Well let's go then." He said racing in front of me and opening the door. He smiled as we jumped into our carriage. Once the carriage began to head away from the opera house. I gave a sigh of relief that we had not ran into Erik.
Three weeks Later
Christophe and I had been married for three weeks when he was called away for business. "I'll see you soon dear." I sighed.
"Christophe you'll be gone for a month I'll go crazy with no one to talk to." He sighed.
"Why don't you send for one of your friends to visit? Or better yet you go visit your friends at the Opera Populaire."
"No!" I yelled. "Do you want the Phantom to take me away?" He shook his head. "Then don't ever ask me to go back there!" I stormed upstairs and laid down on the bed.
Erik's POV
"Where is she this time?" I asked Madame Giry. The minute I arrived at the Populaire I went straight to her and demanded to know where Emily was.
"I am not telling you. She left for a reason."
"That is what you told me last time you hid her from me!" She rolled her eyes. "Is this to be a repeat of last time?" I asked.
"No because this time I will not tell you where she is!" I banged my fist against the wall.
"Tell me something! Please I must find her!" She looked at me with pity in her eyes.
"No she told me not to tell you no matter what."
"Is she at your home again?"
"No she is not. Neither I nor she is stupid enough to put her there again." She said as she set a bowl of fruit next to me.
"I'm not hungry." I said viscously.
"Erik, you should let go of the past." I sighed and grabbed an apple.
"Will you at least tell me why she left in the first place?" She sighed.
"Fine but that is the only information you will get out of me. She said she heard you and Christine," She paused and gave me a dirty look. "Say you love each other." I cursed under my breath.
"Yes we said that but, I would never have acted on it. I love Emily so much more." I stood and threw the apple back in the bowl.
"That is not what she said." She left my lair and I stormed back into my room. When I first arrived back at the opera I had been in my lair for about an hour before I decided to go into my room. The minute I entered tears flooded my face.
It had smelled just like Emily. Had she come down there? I kept asking myself. Did I miss her arrival? My bed especially smelled like her. She must have been in there for hours for it to still have her scent. I fell asleep on my bed drowned in the scent of my Emily.
Hope you liked it please review!
