She looked at Gustave who was staring at her with hidden emotions. Meg squatted down in front of him and said "I am so sorry that I tried to hurt you Gustave I had no idea what I was doing and I know that I do not deserve your forgiveness but I just want you to know that I am really truly sorry about what I did to you there is no excuse for it." Gustave looked up at her sweetly and replied "It is okay Miss. Meg I forgive you." Meg smiled at him as he hugged her tightly. He pulled away from the hug and then stepped back as Meg straightened up. She looked from Christine to Erik and then looked at both of them. Meg took a deep breath and looked at Christine. Erik thought that she was scared to start with him since he did not do the forgiveness thing very well and normally tended to have a fit when someone tried. Meg looked at Christine and said "I am so sorry that I did so many things to hurt you. And I am so absolutely truly sincerely sorry that I killed Raoul I did not mean to it was a seriously accident that I did not meant for it to happen. I…I.." She did not know what to say to convey how truly sorry that she was. Christine replied "I forgive you Meg I know you did not mean to cause any harm and I do not blame you for Raoul you did not mean to shoot him it was just an accident." Meg smiled at her and then turned to look at Erik and started fidgeting. Christine looked at Erik and Meg and then at Gustave.
She asked "Meg, can Gustave and I visit your mother." Meg stepped aside and let them through so they could give her and Erik a minute alone. Meg stepped forward and closed the door behind her. She said "I am so sorry for shooting you Erik. For hurting Christine and trying to kill Gustave I did not mean to hurt you so." Meg looked at Erik who stared back at her. Erik looked at her and said "Meg do not be sorry. I am the one that should be sorry. I did not see everything you were doing for me I am really sorry for the ways you thought you had to do them and I feel like hell that I would not even for a second appreciate that you did all of this stuff for me because I was too busy thinking about Christine to see that you were being and amazing friend and that I was ignoring you. So I am sorry Meg." She looked at him and replied "I forgive you but none of this is your fault Erik. I am the one that has to be and is sorry." Erik said "Thank you Meg. You should not be but if it makes you feel better I forgive you." Meg smiled at him and replied "Thank you Erik, that means a lot to me." He smiled back and hugged her. He said "Meg, thank you for being such an amazing friend." She replied "It is not a problem Erik." They pulled away from each other and she asked "What is it Erik?" Erik looked at her and replied "Raoul's parents are coming and she wants me to work with her and them for Raoul's funeral arrangements and you know how much I hate people." Meg smiled and said "It will be okay we will be here for you if you need us." He smiled and replied "Thank you Meg." Meg nodded and said "You're welcome. One more thing you must control your temper." He smiled and replied "I will try." Meg opened the door and entered their room and Erik followed her closing the door behind him.
He smiled when he saw Madame Giry playing with Gustave and Christine was sitting at a table watching them with a smile on her face. Erik walked over and took the chair next to hers and smiled at her. He grabbed her hand and kissed her knuckles. She smiled at him and squeezed his hand. She asked "Are you still tense about meeting Raoul's parents?" Erik nodded and replied "Christine, you know that I do not fit into society very well so of course I am going to be uneasy about meeting Raoul's parents when he clearly did not like me and treated me like hell and knew that I did not fit in." Christine whispered "Oui Mon Ange, I know that he did not treat you well but that was only because he did not like that fact that you had feelings for me or the fact that I had feelings for you." Erik nodded and whispered back "I hope for Gustave and your sakes that this does not turn out very badly." Christine nodded and they sat there for a few minutes before there was a knock on the door. Erik got up and opened it and was surprised to see Squelch standing there waiting patiently. Squelch said "Boss I would like to inform you that Mr. and Mrs. de Chagny just arrived and are getting picked up at the gates and are being taken to your office." Erik smiled and replied "Thank you Squelch." She nodded and turned and left. Erik shut the door and took a deep breath and went over to Christine and whispered "Mon Ange, Raoul's mère et père are here." Christine looked at him and asked "They just arrived?" Erik nodded and replied "Oui." Christine stood up and went over to Gustave and Madame Giry and told them what was going on. She told Gustave "You do not have to stay honey but I want you to be polite and come out and greet them okay?" Gustave nodded and followed them out the door and the short walk from the section of apartment type places to Erik's office. He walked in and sat behind his desk while Christine stood next to him and Gustave stood on the other side of him. A couple of minutes later the door opened and Erik stood up as two middle aged people came in sniffling and like they had just been crying. Erik took a deep breath as Raoul's father held out a hand and said "I am Emory de Chagny and this is my wife Sarah de Chagny and we are Raoul's parents."
