"There is a life about to start when Tomorrow comes!"
Hello!
This is my first fanfction about Les Misérables...

There will be a lot of surprises and suspence, I wish you will like the story... :)
Sorry for mistakes but english it's not my first Language: I try to do my best but If you tell me were mistakes are It would be apprciated so I can correct it.
Enjoy! :)
A week had passed since the fall of the Barricades.
Jean Valjean was walking down the street with Cosette.
They were coming back to Rue de l'Homme Armé after buying some food and medicines for people that were at their home: Marius, his friends, Inspector Javert, who was saved from suicide by Valjean and a mysterious man wich didn't speak much: they only knew his name was Etienne and a little about him and his family.
Valjean had cared for them all and was trying to bring them to health again, despite some of them were badly injuried.
Cosette smiled:" Papa, I'm so blessed from life!
I mean, I'm engaged to Marius and I'll marry him as soon as possible.
Believe me, I couldn't ask for a better man and I'm totally in love with him.
His friends are slowly getting better too, Monsieur l'Inspecteur seems happy now that he could speak to you and that you had explained him that you have changed and I've seen Monsieur Etienne smile for the first time yesterday after he colud meet his children again.
All It's gonna be alright!"-she concluded with bright eyes.
"You're right, my child.
It's all perfect and I'm glad to see that I can help people and make them feeling better"-he answered.
Suddenly they heard someone speaking in a dark alley and they stopped.
"Papa, do you hear this voices?
There is someone crying, let's go to see!".
Vajean stopped the girl:" Wait for me here.
I'll be back in a few minutes".
He reached the place were the cries were coming from and saw something he coluldn't believe.
A girl, no older than fifteen or sixteen, dressed with trousers and men's shirt, was sitting on the ground and young man was resting his head on the girl's lap while she was stroking his raven hair.
The man was covered in blood, in his shirt, trousers, jacket, he was feverish and delirious .
Valjean looked him better: he knew that face!
He was the boy he had seen the day he had met Thenardier in a square in center of the city!
While he was thinking this things, the girl looked at him carefully.
"I know you… you're the one my father tried to rope days ago.
I've saved you, I've screamed and Patron-Minette had run away, do you remember?".
He was about to answer when Cosette reached him.
"Oh my Godness-she murmured-you're Eponine!
You were in love with Marius and you wanted to steal him away from me!
He had spoked me about you!
You're Thenerdier's daughter!
I remember you from when we were children".
"Yes, it's me.
Please Monsieur, we need help!"-she said softly to Valjean"he is my boyfriend.
He was shot at the barricades and he needs a doctor.
Look at his abdomen… oh my God!
All that blood….I've washed it away and I've been cleaning the wound everyday with clean water but It isn't enough, the bullet is sill there.
Please, do not let us die!
We haven't been eating for a week, I'm pregnant too and I also have to care about my little brother.
Can you give us some money?
Please…"-she cried.
Valjean and Cosette watched each other for a while and then watched the girl.
The old man spoke:"We'll help you.
You deserve a second opportunity like all of us.
Now, I'll carry our boyfriend in my arms, I have great strength.
You will go with Cosette.
Can you stand?
Ten minutes walking and you'll arrive at my home"-he smiled, caressing her dirty face"where is your brother?".
A boy arrived in that moment :"Who are they, 'Ponine?"-he asked.
"What do they want from us?".
Eponine explained they wanted to help.
"Uhm..sholud I trust you?"-the child asked, suspicious, to the old man.
"If It's true you saved my friends, I guess I should.
We all will come with you".
Eponine and Cosette went away, walking slowly down the street while Valjean took Montparnasse in his arms and took him away, followed and helped by Gavroche.
The blond girl took out some bread and offered to the other:"You should eat a little, you must be hungry.
When we'll arrive at home you'll have a proper meal".
Eponine look at her sadly:"Why are you so kind with me?
I'm sorry, Cosette.
For being orrible with you when we were children, for trying to take Marius away from you…can you forgive me?".
"Hey, don't worry.
You have tried to take him away because you were lonely and poor and you were dreaming of a better life.
I can understand you, I felt the same when I was living with your family: I just wanted to escape.
Do you remember what my mother said the day she left me with your family?
She said we should have been like sisters.
We will be, I promise you.
This will be a new beginning.
You will tell me better about your life in next days but I think you deserve better.
You can do it, you can have a different life as I did.
Now let's go to my home, I'll help clean you up and I'll give you some of my dresses, then you'll have a nice meal and you'll rest.
Tell me, it's true you're pregnant?"-she asked.
Eponine nodded:" Yes.
Montparnasse it's the father.
He is a thief…
Now I'm scared both for my child and for my boyfriend".
"My father will call a good doctor and he will care for your boyfried, I promise you.
Montparnasse will have the best we colud offer and he will live, then you will think what to do with your life.
Your pregnancy will go well too, trust me.
You won't have to be scared or starving anymore, it's a promise"-she concluded as they were walking through the door.
