I'm really not a writer, more of a reader. I just love ExM so much that I need to write. Way to many ExE fanfics.

( it'll probably only have 2-4 chapters.)

You Saved Me

Eponine was a lonely girl. Her world was dark and cold. She lived in a endless tunnel that had no light at the end. With her sister dead, her brother leaving her, and the endless beating from her father, she didn't know how to go on. Until she met him. You can all guess, dear readers, who this special man was who saved our dear Eponine. Yes, Marius. Now here is the story that our beloved Ponine deserved.

It was cold and raining that night. Eponine was strolling around the streets of Paris. She wouldn't dare go back to her father tonight. She hand't collected any money. Her father would surely beat her.

It was dangerous for a girl like her to be walking around at night. She just sat at the side of the wall. She dreamed of being taken from her life by a charming prince. They would live away from the threat of her father, live happy and peacefully. They would have 2 beautiful children and live happily ever after. But Eponine knew that wasn't life. That was dreams.

She sat there in the pouring rain and wondered how it would be to end her life. She had no purpose. She walked all the way to the Seine and stared out into the water. How quick it would be. To jump. end my miserable life she thought. She stood of the edge. She knew it would be easy, no one would miss her, but she couldn't put herself to let go.

As Eponine was on the edge of the Seine, Marius was running back home from the rain. As he passed the Seine he was a dark figure. He approached it and saw a girl not much younger then her hanging on the edge.

"What are you doing?!" yelled Marius at Eponine. Eponine turned her head to see who had called her name. Her eyes lit up. Had she already jumped ? how is there an angel before her. Marius who didn't want the girl to jump grabbed her and pulled her off the edge.

"Miss, why where you on the edge? you could've died!"

" I have no more purpose. I thought that jumping was the easiest way." Eponine forced herself to not look into his eyes knowing she would blush.

"What's your name ?"

"Eponine. And yours?"

"Marius"

" Marius" Eponine repeated that only she would hear

Then he started to speak.

" Why would you feel you have no purpose?" Marius asked

"I have no family. Well I do, but they don't treat me as family. My sister was killed by my father 2 years ago and my brother abandoned us and went to the streets. My mother does't care for me and my father beats me. If I don't bring home enough money my father beats me." Eponine didn't know why she was telling all of this to him. She just felt like he was someone she could trust.

Marius just looked at her. he felt like he needed to help her. He felt like it was his all of a sudden felt so protective of the street urchin.

Right after she told Marius all of this she looked up at him with a smile. He couldn't imagine how she could smile. Her life sounded horrible from the brief moments they've known one another.

" That doesn't mean you should end your life. How about you stay with mer for the night. ?" Marius asked

" I don't want your charity monsieur."

" Just call me Marius. And I want to. "

Eponine hesitated but agreed. She felt like she didn't want to leave him. She felt like she was a magnet. She couldn't leave. So she said yes.

" Then it's settled. You'll stay at my place for the night Ponine."

" My names Eponine."

" I know, Ponine is my new nickname for you. Its cute and suits you."

Eponine blushed and felt shocks down her spine. Maybe this boy she has just met, might just be the prince she's wanted.

Marius and Eponine walked to Marius's apartment. They talked and got to know one another more. They quickly bonded. Eponine felt like she had known him since they were children.

Its was small, but much nicer and bigger then what she was used to.

Marius gave her some bread and butter. He noticed how thin she was. Eponine took a small nibble.

" Eat, its fine I'm full and I have enough food"

Eponine felt more comfortable and finished it all in a few scones. Marius just felt so much sadness in him. He could;t believe how hungry she was.

Marius left to get some blankets. He came back to a sleeping Ponine on his bed. Marius smiled. She looked so peaceful. Earlier she had her guard up. So many walls, but they seemed to collapse as she slept. Marius covered he with a blanket and left to sleep on the couch.

Marius then knew he had to take care of her. He had to take care of this girl.

Little did he know that in doing so, he was stealing the heart of this girl.

Eponine woke up to find herself in Marius's bed. She then remembered all of the events last night and smiled. She was so glad it wasn't a dream. Eponine walked out to see Marius reading a large book and listening to music.

"Good morning Ponine!"

"Good morning Monsieur Marius"

" I told you to just call me Marius"

Eponine blushed.

"How about we go buy you a new dress"

" NO NO NO I couldn't I was just going to stay one night. You've already done to much"

" No i want to Ponine"

Eponine gave in and went with Marius.

As they walked Eponine gathered some courage to ask Marius a few questions that she had been wanting to ask. So did Marius. They spoke at the same time. Marius allowed her to speak first.

" Marius, are we friends now?"

"Marius was a bit shocked form the questions. " Of course Ponine"

" That's good"

" My turn" said Marius " I was wondering if you wanted to live with me. I could get a new apartment that was big enough for both of us. 2 rooms and a larger living room. "

Eponine was completely in shock. She just stared at him.

Marius noticed and said," I don't mean it in the way it seems" he blushed," I just really want to help you and I feel like we've become close friends."

Eponine started to cry. She started to cry so much. Marius having no clue why was so worried he had upset her.

" No I….umm…don't cry.. I..ummm"

" no no Marius i'm so happy. No one has ever been this kind to me Just yesterday I was going to jump of the Seine and now I'm here with you. You saved me. I can't thank you enough."

Eponine couldn't stop crying. She could feel her heart start to beat 10x faster and stronger. She was falling in love. She was falling very hard.

After she calmed down Eponine said," yes I would love to live with you"

Marius was very touched by how she reacted. He felt glad that he had made her so happy. He was so glad he saved her. He felt like she was a lithe sister to him, or maybe more. But for now just a sister. A lost lamb i have saved.

" I will find a new apartment tomorrow. We'll be able to move sometime this week"

Marius didm't know why he was changing his life so much for a girl he met just yesterday. But he felt like he had known her for so long.

They continued their walk to the dress shop. Enjoying each others company.

TADAAAA! Next chapter should be up tomorrow or Monday or Tuesday.
