Goodbye New York

(Diane's POV)

"Come on Erik!" I yell as I knock on the washroom door...Today was finally the day...We're gonna go home! We're going back to our enormous house! We're going to see the friends we made and I'm going to become a singer! But most of all...I'm going to be able to live with my husband and my two babies. "I'm coming darling." He yelled back at me. I sighed and got Christine all dressed up in a cute sun dress and Daniel dressed in a cute little onesie. They were so cute! I'm so lucky to have them and to be their mother.

Erik still didn't come out of the washroom, so I waited. I wanted to get out of this gloomy hospital which I've called home for nine months...Where I made new relationships and friendships. This place is where I saw Ryan again...He helped save my husbands life, he saved my life too. This place is where I met Mark and helped him become a better man...A man who's not a manwhore. Now he's engaged to Lexie Grey and they look so happy together. I've done so many things throughout my stay at this hospital. And I know...I'll always remember the people...My friends. Erik finally came out wearing his normal attire. He looked so handsome...So dashing. Like on our wedding day. I smile and kiss his lips softly. It lasted a few seconds before he broke it off and smiled.

"What was that for?" He chuckled and stared at me with his green eyes...The green eyes I hope to see for the rest of my life...That will watch me as I sleep and will look at me every single time we talk. "Nothing darling." I grin and grab the babies things. Erik helped me with the diaper bags and the extra things the nurse gave us. He was getting so much better, for one thing, he can walk. He needs to work out a little bit more, but besides that...My husband is perfect. I looked around the hospital room to see if I left anything. It all looked clear to me...It was going to be hard to leave...But it's the right thing to do. Erik grabbed my hand and smiled, kissing down my neck. "I'm ready to go when you are darling." He squeezed my hand slightly as I grabbed onto the babies stroller. This is it... "I'm ready darling...I've been ready since the day I got here." He chuckled as we walked hand and hand out of the hospital room.

I should be feeling happy to be leaving this place? Right? So many people die here and my Erik almost died too...I should be jumping off the walls that I'm leaving a hospital. A hospital where my ex boyfriend's are. A hospital that I cried in for months, looking down at Erik's body. But I don't feel that way or think that way. I think of it as the place where I fixed people and helped people. I helped Ryam get some help with a therapist and he seems to be doing great now. I helped Mark through his wife's lose and helped him find his soulmate...The woman I know he'll be with forever. I had Christine and Daniel here...My angels, my miracles. But most of all...This place saved Erik's and I relationship...If brought us closer together. Before all of this...We were getting a divorce, but now we're going back home to Rome together. So of course I'm going to miss this place...It changed my life and my future. The halls seemed so long...They looked like they were never ending. Erik and I just looked at each other and talked with our eyes. He touched my hand and finally began to talk.

"Thank you." He grinned. "For marrying me...Erik Destler, The Phantom Of The Opera. Especially when no one else would." That brought tears to my eyes...He made me out to be some kind of hero, when I'm just a monster. I cheated on him with two men...I'm going to tell him...But not yet, the cut that was made is too great to pull off the bandaid. I nod and squeeze his hand as well. "I love you Erik...Know that for the rest of our lives together as a couple." He grinned as we continued to walk down the hall of the hospital. This place is never ending. I said goodbye to many of the doctors and nurses I became friends with. Then I saw him...He was stand by reception waiting for a chart for his patient. I smile and let go of Erik's hand as I walk quickly to Ryan. This may be the last time I'm going to see him...I have to make the best of it...I have to let him remember me...I want him to move on from me, to live his life. Once he saw me, he smiled...He knew he would never see me again...But he still was happy for me and for Erik. I was then infront of him. I smile "Ryan..."

(Ryan's POV)

I smiled, seeing her coming closer to me as Erik waited for her by the exit doors. I know this might be the last time I'll ever see her...But I'm happy for her...I want her to be with someone who makes her laugh and smile. I'm going to always love her of course...But I'm not going to chase after her like I did before... I'm going to to let her go. She came up to with and smiled as she grabbed my hands. I stared into her beautiful chocolate eyes...The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. We didn't speak..She just said my name softly and handed me a letter. A beautifully wrapped letter with my name on it...Written with a red pen. She smiled and went back with Erik. They slowly pushed the stroller out of the hospital...And they were gone...They left just like they came. I looked down at the letter she gave me. I went to the attending's lounge and sat down on the couch. I opened the letter quickly and my eyes began to scan through it.

"Dear Ryan,

Well...This is a bittersweet moment for me...I don't wanna leave, I made so many good memories here and it's felt like my home for so long...I did so many things in the time I was at this hospital...Things that could last a lifetime if they continued. But Ryan...Seeing you again has been the best. I worried about you for two years, I wanted to know if you were okay...If you weren't emotionally destroyed. Coming to this hospital made me know that you are okay...That everything's going to be okay. But I want you to remember one thing Ryan...Don't hang onto me forever...Let me go. I want you to be happy and live a life with someone who isn't already married. So please...Don't love me forever...Maybe a little bit longer. I love you Ryan, come and visit Rome whenever you want...Goodbye Strucker.

Sincerely,

Diane Blunt Destler."

Find someone else...She wants me to find someone else. It's going to be hard to find someone with perfect skin...A perfect body and who's just perfect. It's going to be hard to forget the first woman I fell in love with and made love to. But I wanna honour her wishes...I wanna make her happy and proud. I'm going to make it my mission to find someone who truly loves me and marry her...Or him. I love her...I will love her forever...She'll always be in my heart until the day I die.

(END OF CHAPTER)...

(Diane's POV)

I moved around a little as I woke up from my dream...It was such a long dream, it literally felt like two years had went by. I sit up and look at the carriage...Right, I'm going to be a student at The Tutoring Academy Of Paris...I'm moving to Paris cause I had this huge fight with my parents...Now everything's coming back to me. I really have to get my mind out of the clouds and back to reality. I felt the carriage stop right infront of a the Academy. I payed the driver and walked up to the steps of the Academy...I'm going to be here for the next two years...Wow. I walked up the stairs and smiles as I turned the golden knob of the door. I felt a zap...I'm just so excited. An old man met me at the door with a smile on his face. I smiled back.

"Hello." He looked at me. "I'm Nadir LeOwn. I own this academy. I've received ten thousand francs for two years of training? Right Miss Blunt?" He looked at his clipboard and back up at me. I nod and smile. He seemed nice, I really do hope we get along. "Come." He smiled and grabbed my luggage. "I'll show you around The Academy." I nod and follow him around.

He showed me everything...It was so alive in here. I heard so many voices...So much music and singing...It made my heart flutter with happiness. We came over to the soprano section...It was quite...Maybe I'm the only one! The halls were dark and mysterious...If seemed like no one has been in this part for years...It looked almost, utterly empty too. People say it was haunted...That there used to be an opera ghost here when this place was an opera house. I don't know if the legend's true or not. Mr. LeOwn stopped by a dark door and smiled.

"This is it." He motioned to the door. "This is The Music Teacher for soprano's room is. He's probably ready for you. Go ahead and go in, I'll be in my office if you need me." He smiles and walks off. I trace the designs of the door and smile. This is it! I'm going to become a singer once I meet this man! I hope he likes me...I hope I like him. I turn the door knob and open the door. I walk inside and smile as I see the beautiful room...The room decorated with such darkness and beauty. I walk in and look over at a chair...There sat a man with green eyes...Eyes that I can't explain...Eyes that looked compelling to me. He looked me up and down and smiled, did he like my dress? I made sure to wear the fanciest dress. He stood up at walked over to me...He didn't say anything, neither did I. Our eyes just talked...My chocolate eyes against his green compelling eyes. Before I knew it...He was standing infront of me.I could see all his features now...His black hair, his white mask and toned skin. "Hello..." He whispered. "My name is Erik Destler...I'll be your Music Teacher for The next two years..." I smile softly and shake his hand...This is going to be an adventure that I'm willing to take.
