Lets pick up where we left off shall we?
I wonder how Marius is.. I found myself carefully asking as the train pulled into the station. God I haven't seen him since April 2010, I wonder if he still remembers me… he should shouldn't he? I mean relationships don't make you entirely forget a person, I should still be in the back of his mind at least?
I wonder if he will be happy to see me
Don't be so stupid Èponine! Why on earth would Marius be happy to see you after what you said to Cosette…., well that was a long time ago now wasn't it? And Marius really isn't one to hold a grudge..
"EPONINE" my thoughts were disturbed as I looked up to find myself standing on the platform trailing my suitcase behind me with a bag resting neatly and securely on top.
I looked around to see my younger brother Gavroche smiling and waving with his girlfriend Anna. I immediately started running to him, my little brother who I love so much and yet who Ive only seen twice over the last 3 years.
I shouldn't have so childishly took off the way I did, ran from my mistakes I mean everyone gets drunk and says things they regret don't they? Anyhow ive spent the last 2 years and 11 months travelling the world with a passport some clothes, a scrap-book and a Polaroid camera. I spent a lot of time in London it was beautiful there, well the accents were anyhow. I stayed in London because it was nice and close to Gavroche when he came to visit with Anna, out of all of the 8 months I spent there he visited twice, the first time for a week, the second for 2 months.
"GAV" I shouted with delight when I embraced him. "Ive missed you so much"
I turned to hug Anna when he finally let go of me. "And you my little model" I giggled
"Awh Èponine, we've missed you terrible its so so so good to have you back here with us" Anna smiled
"I'm very happy to be back" I grinned "Okay lets go im starving" I said trying to steer off the conversation of coming home.
There was something about Paris that I loved to pieces, even so much as the presence of being in France put a grin on my face and a spring in my step but I also felt lonely, everywhere I turned were couples on romantic breaks that brought my mood down. But I shook it off in the company of Gav and Anna.
"Have you thought about going to see Marius?" Gavroche asked and I took a bite from my salad.
"Well I have yes, but I shook it off. He wouldn't want to see me" I blushed
"And what makes you think that?" Gavroche asked
I shot him a death glare. "You know what"
"Id still go, he'd be delighted to see an old friend after what Cosette's been doing with him cutting him off from everyone" Anna smiled giggling a bit
"Only Enjolras hurt his foot Marius wouldn't be seeing him" Gavroche smiled
I stared down at the two teenagers in front of me. "Okay spill it"
So when Marius and Cosette got engaged she got really protective of him and shut him off from all his friends and family and when her father died she only allowed Marius to see Enjolras because she felt bad for him putting up with her weeping all day.
"Id let him see his friends" I laughed sitting back taking a sip from my water. Just then my phone rang and I got up to answer it
*ENJOLRAS*
"Oh hurry up Cosette we'll be late" Marius groaned fixing his suit in the mirror, another morning of waiting for Cosette to finish her makeup and hair. She looks the same every morning whether it takes 20 minutes or 2 hours
"Im sorry Marius, I had a phone call" she said kissing his cheek
"Its okay sweetheart, now lets go. Bye Enjolras see you later"
"Bye" I shouted back as the door shut. Alone again for another day, I reached out for my crutch and balanced myself as I grabbed my other crutch and made my way towards the balcony.
A beautiful spring morning, I love the springtime in Paris. it's a nice buzz if I only I could go out and enjoy myself instead of being on these stupid crutches.
Nevermind Enjolras, could be worse you could be at work . I thought to myself as I relaxed out on the balcony and took out my iphone. I took a nice snap for instagram and seen Marius' last photo come up after I posted mine
Him and Cosette in the back of a taxi with the caption "Out and about doing some married couple stuff"
"You might as well just go tell everyone shes knocked up" I sniggered to myself.
I sat back and had watched the people of Paris go buy and live their lives while I waited for something intresting to happen but like the usual Tuesday, nothing ever will.
