Eponine limped all the way home. Well, she wouldn't call it home. She walked in it was empty so luckily her father's gang was out. But, she was wrong. Her father was there. He was known for robbing and scamming people for their money. He walked up to Eponine and grabbed her arm, "Where's my money girl!" Eponine stood there, she knew from the past years that she couldn't show her fear in front of her father. He slapped her across the face and punched her in the cheek. "Don't come back until you get me my money." Eponine lay there breathing heavy. She knew where she had to go. She ran out the door, or more like limped run. She knew the streets of Paris like no one else. She got up to the medical student's door and knocked. He opened it and had the biggest smile on his face. "Eponine! It's so great to see you again. Come on in." Eponine was surprised he was so happy to see her. No one was ever so happy to see her. "Sorry, I woke you up I just had to get away." she said. "No, I was just studying what happened to your face?" He asked concerned. "M..my father beats me if I don't give him money. He dosen't care how I have to get it he better have it. At least I can run away and he won't look for me." She smiled sadly. "Eponine, do you want to go on a walk?" Joly asked. "Yes, and call me Ponine please." She knew only her friends called her that but now she might be considering him as one of her friends.
Hmm...looks like something is happening between Joly and Eponine. Please review and comment if you have any suggestions or comments. Thanks!
