Jasmine walked to another room and Colin followed. 

"Once upon another time our story had only begun. You chose to turn the page and I made my choices too" she started. "Once upon that other time we did what we thought must be done and now we have no choice. We do what we must do. We love, we live, we give what we can give and take what little we deserve."  "Once upon another time I knew how our story would end maybe I was wrong but now the moment's gone. Where it still that other time; I'd made time, itself somehow bend but not I'm not that strong and time keeps moving on" responded Colin. 

"I loved you" he told her. "I loved you too" she returned. "We gave what we can give and take what little we deserve." Colin tried to reach out to her, but she pulled away. 

Once upon another time!

1921 

My mom has passed away 10 years ago at the age of 51. I still think of her all the time. When she first told me her story about her and her phantom, I mean my dad I couldn't believe it. I somehow knew deep down that Raoul couldn't have been my real dad because of how different we were. He was never interested in hearing me play or even play with me. I always wondered where my God given talents came from. I always thought it was from my mom. She named me after her father who I will never know. But after finding out that my actual father was her angel of music once upon another time, it all started to make sense. Of course, I freaked out when I first hung out with him, and he took off his mask and even more so when my mother finally told me the truth. But after when I became an adult myself at age 18 I realized why she kept the truth me for so long and I started to accept him as my father and let him take me under his wing. To neutral my talents and being in operas myself and compose my own musicals just like my father did for my mom. 

Once upon another time...
