Love Is Your's

Chapter 29 ~ A New Song

It's been another month since I have woken up and I realized it's been three months. Three month's since I performed at Phantasma, August 31st. Coney Island closes in November. I woke up on October fifteenth. So Now it's November 30th and I am very obsessed with dates. Hannah has not left my side ever. Only when needed, like for bathing and well sleeping I guess. Erik has gotten worried about me. I haven't even let him leave my side when I'm home, though I am a bit more linient when we're at the park. Even though Phantasma and Coney Island is closed the park still needs to be taken care off. The details are a bit of a blurr but I'm not complaining. The people who work in Phantasma still need to work to prepare for the next performance.

McKayla and Hannah we're both being fed when I heard Erik come home early. He seemed a bit distressed. All he did was come in kiss the girls head and me in the lips. Then went straight to the music room locking himself in. He hasn't been there in awhile so I let him in there. Although he never locks it. I sighed and kept myself busy with the girls. At one o'clock I set them both down for their nap. Meg had the day off and I needed to spend some alone time with both of my girls. I walked to the music room and listened. Wrong, evesdropping be it as it may, I just wanted to know he was okay. Suddenly I heard the piano being banged on.

"Erik Destler that's not right! You ignorant monster! Now get it right! It's just one simple note!" He played a bit more then stopped. "Yes! That's it! You got it Erik the monster!" I couldn't take it anymore. I started banging on the door.

"Erik Destler you are Not a monster!" I gasped and realized that I just blew myself evesdropping on him. I heard footsteps and got so scared I raced down the stairs and grabbed a shawl. Racing outside towards the tree in the garden and ran behind the tree. Placing my hand on the tree my arm slightly bent and so was my body. My head down catching my breath. He has still the Phantom parts left in him. All hell was about to break loose. Suddenly I felt a hand on my back. Flinching he turned me around. I backed up into the tree as he took a step forward.

"What are you doing Christine?" Having my eyes closed preparing to hear the yelling. But I didn't, I then realized that I had made the stupid mistake. I opened my eyes and sighed.

"When you got home and locked yourself in I got a bit worried. So I just listened in at the door to see if you were okay. When I heard you calling yourself a monster, I couldn't take it anymore. When I realized what I had done, I was so scared that you would get furious and you have every right to be so I ran-"

"Your right I do have every right to be mad." He sounded so calm. "How much did you hear?" I looked into his eyes. His arms were folded over his chest tightly and his lips pursed together and his eyes slightly narrowing.

"Um....jus the last few notes, nothing more. In the beginning I was taking care of the children." I was shaking in my shall. The air was very cold and a shawl didn't cover it. Erik suddenly grabbed my arm and pulled me back inside to the music room. I couldn't even say anything, his actions were so fast. Plopping me down on the piano bench he shoved me the music sheets. Slowly I grabbed it and looked it over. Gasping I realized it was the song Erik sang to me when I was asleep. The one Meg told me about. I looked at him as his demeanor hasn't changed.

"This was supposed to be a surprise. But apparently I realized, my angel doesn't trust me. Yes I called myself monster, but I didn't mean it in a bad way. I meant it in a positive way. I know that sounds confusing but I wouldn't call myself monster in the negative way when I was trying to heal myself from that with your help. But apparently you don't trust me." I was offeneded.

"Erik I do trust you! I do! But I dont' see how you would use monster in a positive way! Please enlighten me!" I yelled standing up.

"Do not raise your voice with me Christine! What I think is my buisness not yours! And you also violated my privacy!"
