Chapter 19

Aubrey pulled back from her passionate kiss with Harry. She looked into his brown eyes. "Wow." Was all she could say.

Harry ran his hands through her hair. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that, but I couldn't help myself, when you said I wasn't out of the running."

"I should really go home before my parents find me out of the house. I could get in a lot of trouble."

Harry cocked his eyebrow, "Do you really think they would catch you gone? You could come in for a little bit, my grandparents hit the sack, oh about three hours ago." He said with a cocky smile on his face.

Aubrey put a hand on his bare chest and pushed gently. "Go back inside. I'm going home, but you still need to pick me up tomorrow for school."

Harry rolled his eyes good naturally. "Have a good night then Aubrey, I will see you bright and early tomorrow morning."

Aubrey started her way back to her house, her head buzzing from everything that had just happened. How could Aubrey have done something like that? She still loved Erik, but was really hurt by the way he just cheated on her, even though he said he loved her.

She reached her house and walked up the steps. From there she could reach the roof landing outside her window and crawled in through the window.

She quickly brushed her hair, which had been tangled from Harry running his hands through it, changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed. She quickly fell asleep.

Aubrey was now in a room that was very familiar to her, though she had never been there. It was Phantom Erik's music/art room, and Erik towered over her.

"What the hell was that about?!?" Phantom Erik shouted at her.

Aubrey crossed her arms across her chest. "Don't even start with me Erik."

"You haven't even talked to him, or given him the chance to explain." Phantom Erik said angrily.

Aubrey rolled her eyes. "Oh please, are you telling me you know exactly what happened, like you are aware of everything that goes on from day to day."

"Haven't you noticed how knowledgeable I am?" Phantom Erik asked. "Remember what I am, guardian angel. I see all, know all, and hear all, and I saw that ridicules kiss between you and that…that fop!"

"Leave me alone!" Aubrey screamed at him. "I will not be scolded like a child for something he did first!"

Phantom Erik grabbed her by the upper arms. "You will not talk to me like that you infernal girl!"

Tears welled up in Aubrey's eyes. She tried to jerk her arms away from his grasp, but he wouldn't let go. She looked up into his angry amber green eyes and felt fear run through her. She was now at eh receiving end of Phantom Erik's wrath, and it scared her beyond anything she has ever been through.

Aubrey felt a hand shaking her. "Aubrey wake up, it's time to go to school." Her mother had said. She opened her eyes and looked at her worried mother.

"Were you having a bad dream? You were muttering in your sleep, and you're still pale, do you not feel well still?" Lacey asked.

Aubrey sat up and whipped away the tears that had welled in her eyes. "No, I'm okay mom."

Aubrey got up out of bed and dressed quickly for school; she heard a very loud engine and knew Harry pulled into her driveway.

"You haven't even eaten breakfast!" Lacey shouted at Aubrey as she made her way towards the door.

"Not hungry." Aubrey shouted over her shoulder and walked outside and shook her head at Harry's pitiful multicolored truck. She climbed into the passenger seat.

"Did you not have a good night?" Harry asked her on the way to school.

Aubrey gave him a small slap on the arm. "And what makes you say that?"

"Nothing, you look beautiful as always, but you just look like you didn't sleep well, you have dark circles under your eyes."

Aubrey flipped the visor down and there was no mirror. "Hey where's the mirror?" Aubrey asked.

"Aubrey, this is an 85, they didn't put mirrors there." Harry said rolling his eyes.

"Well, no I didn't sleep well last night, I had some bad dreams, that's all."

"It wasn't what happened when you came over was it?" Harry asked quietly.

"No Harry, but I shouldn't have done that, I'm sorry."

Harry nodded his head. "I knew that's how you would be feeling; you're still in love with him."

Aubrey gently put her hand on his arm. "Harry, I'm really sorry, but I need to talk with Erik, your right, I do still love him, though I don't want to. If I could I would just be happy to ignore the whole situation and be with you, but I have to listen to my heart and my heart is still crying out for Erik."

He pulled into the school and shut off the ignition. "I know your right, but just know, that I'll be here waiting, if you decided I'm what your heart wants."

Aubrey nodded his head and got out of his truck. She needed to find Erik, and do it quickly, but she didn't need to search far because Erik was standing next to her.

"Oh, I see, you dump Harry to go out with me, then you dump me and go running back to Harry, and this time, you don't even tell me." Erik said angrily.

"Erik, it's not like that!" Aubrey said softly. She looked into his amber green eyes, and felt horrible for what she did last night. Then she remembered why she did that in the first place.

"Wait a minute! You started this whole thing by cheating on me! I didn't do anything wrong, Harry was just giving me a ride to school."

"And the fact that you kissed him last night."

Aubrey gasped. "How in the hell do you know about that?"

"It doesn't matter how I know, you still kissed him."

"Yeah! Well you kissed Ashley, so what's the difference?" Aubrey shouted at him.

"Are you as dumb as you look?" Erik asked angrily.

Tears welled in Aubrey's eyes once again.

His eyes seemed to loose some of the fire in them as he saw the tears about to pour down her face, but Aubrey couldn't do anything about it because Harry had apparently heard their whole argument, along with the whole school since they had not kept their voices down.

Harry had shoved Erik from behind so he was pushed into Aubrey, but Aubrey could tell that Harry hadn't pushed him that hard.

"Don't talk to her like that!" Harry said loudly.

Erik turned around, his hands in fists. Aubrey pushed her way past Erik and stood in the middle of Erik and Harry.

"Harry please, this doesn't concern you." Aubrey said.

A whole group of kids had now settled around Harry, Erik, and Aubrey. How could teenagers always sense a fight in the makings?

"Yeah Harry, this doesn't concern you." Erik said mockingly.

Aubrey rounded on him. "At least he had the decency to defend me!" Aubrey said loudly.

"Oh come on Aubrey, can't you tell, he's just trying to get in your pants." Erik said rolling his eyes.

Harry stepped forward and almost squished Aubrey against Erik. "You take that back! I like Aubrey, and I don't make her cry, or cheat on her, I would never do that."

"Yeah, then why was Aubrey already going to break up with you before you left? She was going to break up with you, then your sister died, and she felt bad about that." Erik growled at Harry.

Harry looked hurt and looked at Aubrey. "Is that true?" Harry asked gently.

Aubrey rounded on Erik instead of answering of Harry. "How could you Erik! You are supposed to be true to me, and you not only cheat on me, but you talk of things you should never talk about! I confided in you Erik."

Aubrey turned on her back to Erik. "Harry, can you please just take me home. I'll just tell my mom that I'm still sick."

Harry nodded his head and Aubrey and Harry started to walk away, but Erik grabbed Aubrey by the upper arms and turned her around. When he did this it reminded her of her dream last night.

"Let go of me Erik!" Aubrey shrieked at him and he immediately let go of her.

"We need to talk, just the two of us, you can't always go running off when you don't like what's happening."

"I had planned on talking to you Erik, but I can see I'm just to stupid to keep up with you." Aubrey said then turned back around.

Aubrey and Harry got in his truck and he started to drive away, but they didn't get a mile out of the parking lot when Erik's Eclipse was right behind them.

"Harry, we really do need to talk, just pull over, and I'll call you later okay."

"And what if he does something to you! He was pretty angry at you earlier." Harry said.

"No, it's okay Harry, Erik won't do anything to hurt me. Thanks for defending me today."

Harry pulled over and Aubrey got out. Erik had pulled over right behind Harry's truck so she walked back towards Erik's car as Harry drove away.

Aubrey got in and crossed her arms.

"So you want to talk, start from the beginning."

Raven: Yes, all my Phantom of the Opera stories, are based off the movie. Christine will always be a brunet, and Erik will always be look like Gerry in the 2004 movie.
