There are only 2 chapters left, can you believe it?! Luckily, I already have some of the sequel written! Enjoy!

Chapter 20
"I can't believe you are getting married!" Christine shouted. She sat on her bed where as I paced back and forth around the room.

"Yea, neither can I." I stated. I ran my hand through my mess of a hair and looked down at my ring. It was beautiful and if I had loved William, it would be the most beautiful thing in the world.

"What's wrong Boo?" I stopped pacing and turned to look at Christine.

"Christine, I don't love him."

"Then why did you say yes?"

"I…I was confused, in a daze." I looked down and began to fiddle with the ring.

"Oh my goodness." Christine sounded as if she had just realized something plain and obvious.

"What is it?"

"You don't love him because you love someone else."

I looked at Christine in a confused manor. "What are you talking about? He is the only male I speak to."

"Did you forget about the Phantom?" My jaw dropped. "You love the Phantom, I can tell."

"I do not!" I stomped my foot on the ground like a little baby.

"Jemma, you love the Phantom, I can just tell." I glared at Christine.

"Maybe just a little bit." I whispered.

I had expected Christine to jump up or do something crazy, but she didn't. "Then go get him. Forget about William and go find the man of your dreams."

"Christine, he loves you."

"I know, but I love Raoul. If he doesn't love you back, then he is a fool. Go and find him." I stared at Christine. "Go."

I smiled and walked to where the secret passage way was in our room. I felt around and finally, the portion of the wall slid back. "There's a secret passageway in our room?" Christine asked.

I laughed. "How else is he supposed to gawk over you?"

"Ewe! Go!" I laughed and walked in. "Tell me how it goes!"

"Alright!" I slid the wall back into place and walked down the halls. I held a hand over the ring as I walked. When I reached his lair, I could hear an organ playing.

"Erik!" I shouted. I ran into his lair from behind the white curtain but stopped short at seeing something I thought I would never see. Ripped music sheets decorated the ground, candelabras we knocked over, the blanket from the Louis-Phillip room was in the water, and sitting at the grand organ playing a now powerful tune, was Erik.

Erik slowly turned around in the bench and looked at me. He didn't have a mask on, but I didn't mind. "Jemma." He looked down and I walked over to him.

"Erik, what's wrong?" I asked as I stood in front of him

Erik lifted his head. "Congratulations on getting engaged Jemma."

I backed up a step in shock. "Wh-what?" He knew?

"May you and William live a happy life together."

"Erik…"

He glared at me now. "Did your kiss in the graveyard even mean anything?" I was taken back. "Were you just playing around with me like a little child?"

"Erik, how could you even think that?"

"Well, let's see, you kiss me, and then the next day, you get engaged to another man." Oh my goodness. Did that kiss mean something to him? Tears began to spill out of my eyes.

"Erik, I kissed you because I love you!"

"Well you sure have a funny way of showing love!" Erik stood up and towered over me.

"I was confused today alright? Besides, you love Christine." Erik's shoulders fell and he walked behind me and over to the table where he kept his drawings. He just…stood there. "You only love Christine and you never saw that I was always here for you! Me! Not Christine! I love you Erik, but you never saw a thing!"

"Jemma, I couldn't love you."

"Because you have Christine right? Well she is engaged to Raoul and there is nothing you can do about it. You had your chance with both of us and well, now I'm engaged as well.

Erik stormed back over to me and gripped my shoulders tightly with his bare hands. "I never tried because no one could ever love this!" He pointed at his deformed half of his face.

"I could Erik, but you never gave me the chance. You expect people to see you for you when you never give anyone the chance to see what is under the mask." I stood on my toes and kissed a tear away on his right side where his mask usually is.

"You don't mean it."

"I do mean it."

Erik shook his head. He then leaned in and kissed me! I kissed him back but then he pulled away. "Enjoy life with your new fiancé." Erik walked into the Louis-Phillip room, leaving me standing there, branded a fool. What just happened?

So here is my question for you all- Could you take a look at my page and take part in the poll?
