A/N This is my first fanfic, so please don't hate me for it.

Disclaimer: I own none of these characters.

Enjolras' POV

The barricade did not fall...

That is all Enjolras is capable of thinking at the moment. He had truly thought that they were doomed. He had worried for the lives of his friends. Especially those of Eponine and Marius. No matter how much he tried to dismiss the thought, he couldn't help but wonder if he was a little bit in love with Eponine. Not that he would ever tell her...

oOo

Eponine's POV

When Eponine had seen that gun pointed at Marius, she didn't even realize what she was doing until she felt a searing pain shoot through her. For a moment, time stopped. She saw Marius, and thought, Well, at least he will live. Then time rushed forward.

oOo

Enjolras' POV

Enjolras was surprised when in the process of going to Marius he stumbled on what seemed like a girl's form. He looked down, and saw to his horror, Eponine covered in blood. It seemed that no one had noticed her but him. He immediately knelt down next to her.

"What happened to you?" he whispered. Eponine was very pale, and from what he could see, losing a lot of blood.

"Umm... a bullet?" she replied, if a bit shakily. Well, at least she still has her humor, thought Enjolras grimly. He knew he would need a doctor if she were to survive. Picking her up, he winced as Eponine groaned in pain. He walked as fast as he dared to the makeshift infirmary where Joly was. Eponine's eyes were already closed and her breathing was ragged. The Marble Man feared for her life.

"What happened to her?!" exclaimed Joly when he turned around.

"Believe me, I asked. She told me, and I quote, 'Umm... a bullet?' replied Enjolras.

All the amis knew that Joly was usually one to overexaggerate a situation, while making up diseases that might have occured in a person's body. However, Enjolras didn't see how Joly could make this situation much worse than it already was.

"She'll be alright if we can stop the bleeding. The bullet doesn't seem to have hit anything vital," Joly said, penetrating the daze that he was in. As Joly said this, he was already wrapping Eponine's wounds up.

"You are sure, correct?" Enjolras asked desperately. (As mentioned before, Enjolras was in love with Eponine.)

"Can it be? Do I hear emotion in our dear marble leader's voice?" exclaimed Grantaire. Grantaire, being Grantaire was drunk. Again.

"I am a doctor, now aren't I?" Joly stated, feigning offense. Enjolras was too relieved to answer to Grantaire's taunt, instead exhaling in what seemed suspiciously like a sigh to Grantaire.

"Oh yes... our man of marble has cracked hasn't he?" chuckled Grantaire gleefully. Joly could barely supress his smile. After all, it wouldn't do to make their leader mad, now would it?

oOo

Eponine's POV

Eponine Thenradier opened her eyes, only to find herself staring at a pair of bright blue ones. A pair of eyes that seemed to be quite worried. Gasping in surprise, she shot up. Unfortunately for her and Enjolras, this meant a fair amount of pain.

Groaning, Eponine slowly lowered herself back onto the cot while rubbing her forehead in pain. Likewise, Enjolras was now feeling a sharp pain where the two had collided.

"What are you doing here? Oh yeah, and why were you hovering above me? That is only going to lead to disaster!" Eponine yelled at Enjolras. What was going on?!

" Well... uh... you see, I saw you injured and brought you over here," Enjolras said while gesturing with his hands, "I was just checking on you when you woke up, and...yeah..." Enjolras was feeling quite wierd if he did say so himself. Just then, he caught the amis smirking at him.

"What is this? Our great leader, who inspires people to the cause with his magnificent speeches is having trouble talking. And not only that, but he is stuttering?" Marius exclaimed before bursting into laughter. The amis quickly followed suit.

"Marius Pontmercy, what did you say?" asked Enjolras threateningly. "Perhaps you should think before you speak." He would have continued if it weren't for a violent slap from the girl on the bed catching him across the face. "What was that for?" questioned Enjolras.

"Just figured you might want to become our leader who can make great speeches again. I thought a slap might help." Eponine said innocently. Marius whistled a bit before bidding them all goodbye and telling them he was going to ask Cosette to marry him. Everyone else looked at Eponine expecting some kind of response.

"You know, I don't think Marius and I were ever suited for each other. He was always that perfect rich boy and I the street rat. I think I fell in love with the idea." Eponine confessed, shocking everyone. There was a silence that reigned for a while. "Right, well I am feeling much better," Eponine said awkwardly, "I think I'll just go home now..."

"Oh no you don't. We all know how your father treats you, what with beating and cursing and yelling at you. You are going to stay with me. You can sleep in the guest room," Enjolras said without thinking. The amis glanced at him with knowing looks on their faces.

It was true. Everyone knew that Monsieur Thenradier was a terrible father, and Madame Thenradier was nearly as bad a mother. Gavroche, Eponine's little brother was nodding, agreeing with Enjolras.

"He's right sis, you aren't safe at home."

"Oh all right, but don't expect me to like it," grumbled Eponine crossly to the grins of her friends. And so started a new chapter of Eponine's life with the infamous Enjolras.

Right, so I am going to try my best to make this fanfic as great as possible, but knowing myself that won't make it much better. Anyway, please review? Pretty please?
