Chapter 12, Together

Erik

I stood for a moment. Then, there was a flash of white light. I stood in a white  room. There was a figure slowly materializing.


Christine 

Things were getting worse and worse for me. There was no love between Raoul and I. There never had been. Oh, why hadn't I stayed with Erik?! Now he was dead and I'd never told him that I love him! How can one girl ruin her life so completely?! 

I wish there was a way for me to make things right, a way to bring my angel back!

He's dead

My love is dead.

"Christine? Are you alright?"

Raoul. He tries to pretend that everything is fine, but it's not. Nothing is fine! Nothing is alright! 

And it's all my fault!!!! 

"Christine? Please answer me!" 

"Raoul, I am just tired. Please, let me go to sleep." My comment came out as a snap, though it was not meant to. Raoul sighed sadly, turning over. "Goodnight, Christine." 

I turned over, too. 

My poor, sweet, Angel. What have I done to you?

Sleep finally overtook me. I felt myself being lifted, transported to some faraway place.

OH!

My Angel!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Erik

The figure materialized.

Christine!

My god, Christine!!!!!

"Angel!" Her voice, my god, her voice! It was a symphony of angels!

"Christine!"

I rushed forward at the same time she did. We embraced, tightly.

We were sobbing and holding and stroking hair.

"Oh, Christine..."

"Oh, Angel!"

We stood there, in each other's arms, holding tightly.

"I've missed you so much!" She sobbed, tilting her head to look at me.

"I've missed you." I caressed her face, wiping away her tears. 

Wait, she missed me????!!!! 

"You missed me??" I asked with an open mouth.

"Of course!" She sniffled. 

I couldn't voice the thoughts within my head-Do you love me? Can you love me? 

"How have you been?" Christine asked softly. 

"Miserable. And you?"

"Miserable."

"Why? Are you not happy with Raoul?"

"No, we do not love each other."

"How is that possible? How could he not love you? You are so completely lovable it is ridiculous!" 

Why, then, did you leave me?

Christine blushed then giggled. "Apparently, Raoul and I weren't in love. We both thought we were, but we weren't. I messed up, badly." She looked at her feet, then up at me.

"It's alright." Though it wasn't really....Oh well, we all make mistakes, no?

With that, she started sobbing again. "It's not, though! You're dead and I'm stuck with Raoul! I've ruined everything!!!! I'm so sorry, Angel!!!!" 

"Oh, Christine...I promise, everything will be alright, I promise."

"Really?"

She stopped sobbing to look up at me hopefully. 

"Yes, My darling, I promise."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We hugged a little more, then talked a little of what we had been doing-I didn't tell her of my quest; because, well, it didn't seem like a good idea...

She told me how unhappy she was with Raoul, then apologized profusely. She said she had been a fool to choose Raoul and that she wished she hadn't done so. She also blamed herself for my death. 

"I wish there was something I could do to rewrite our story, to have a second chance..." 

My sweet Christine...

How I hoped for that too...

"Oh god, I'm waking up!" She cried suddenly. 

"Christine, I'll miss you. I'll give you that second chance!"

"How?"

"Don't worry about that, just trust me!"

And as my Christine grew fainter and fainter, she pressed her lips to mine.

Then, she was gone.



HI!!!

Thank you for all the votes! And please comment!

The only way I could remember how to spell ridiculous was by singing Did I Mention-from Descendants...
