Author's Note: It will switch from Eponine's and Enjolras's POV later on, Aaron Tviet is the model of Enjolras's character and of course Samantha Barks for Eponine. Thisis my first time writing I'm sorry if it's bad! Please review and tell me ways to improve and tell me if you want me to continue. Thanks for reading!
Chapter One
"I…um…I have to go bye." I slowly walked out of the abc cafe Grantiere's eyes fixed on me either trying to read me or he's drunk which wouldn't be shocking as I was walking out. When I got outside I finally let the tears stream down my face and started sprinting. Faster Eponine move your feet faster, I keep telling myself. I started running as fast as I could with my feet hitting the pavement hard. I no longer could tell the difference between what my tears were and what was the rain was. On my own that's all you'll ever be Eponine. Marius will never notice you all because of Cosette!
Fueling my thoughts with more anger my legs decided to move faster and in longer strides.
"Ow!"
"Pardon me monsieur!" I kept going and glanced over my shoulder realizing who it was. Of course he chose to look the same time as me.
"Eponine, wait! Please!" I was going to be out of breath soon and I knew Enjolras knew that too. I looked back seeing he was gaining on me. I turned into an alley. He wouldn't know the slums of Paris like a street urchin like me. I sat against the wall pulling my knees to my chest wrapping my arms around them.
"'Ponine?" Shit.
"Eponine, please talk to me." I could hear his footsteps come closer to where I was hiding. Enjolras started turning into the alleyway moving slowly not knowing where to go exactly, only having the light from the full moon to see. This is what I mean about the rich bourgeois boys not knowing anything about this sort of thing. He started walking straight down and came towards me realizing the wall well didn't really look like a wall. He crouched down and looked straight into my face which made me train my eyes to the ground.
"I'm nothing Enjolras…nothing at all." I feel as if I'm about to start crying again which I do not want to do because it shows weakness which is something I never want to show.
"'Ponine what brought all of this on? There has to be something to have caused you this delusional thinking."
"It's him he doesn't care and it seems as if he will never care."
"Who's hi- oh Marius… Eponine he's nothing to cry over he doesn't realize how amazing you are."
"You didn't hear what he was saying about her though Enjolras. How beautiful she is and how she is everything he could ever dream of everything… I wish I could be. Every word that he said was a dagger in me." Another tear escaped and he reached out his end and wiped it away with a look of worry on his face.
"Eponine, he obviously does not realize what is here right in front of him. You… you are more than looks, you're smart, you care. It shows with the things you have done for Monsieur Marius and who knows maybe he won't be this blind one day and realize it if his own ignorance doesn't kill him first."
I scoffed rolling my eyes which caused a smile which was a rare occurrence for Enjolras if you knew him.
"It really is true though."
This makes my mind race with questions the main ones being is he saying this out of pity? Or does he truly mean such words?
