When Éponine awoke the next morning she was surprised to find she was in the softest bed she had ever known. What happened last night? Éponine wondered, slowly her eyes opened, Éponine nearly screamed in shock when she saw Enjolras sleeping beside her, what had happened the night before? The last thing Éponine could remember was returning to the café, fighting with Enjolras, (over how... worthy? She was) and then Enjolras had kissed her! After that it was a sketchy jumble of a little too much ale, and drunken kisses. There was something else too, something pressing, but what she couldn't recall. Suddenly a glint of light caught her eye, Éponine visibly froze, there on Enjolras' left hand, ring finger was a golden band, that matched the ring on Éponine's own hand. She cursed under her breath, what would Marius think of her now? Maybe Enjolras wouldn't even remember what had happened between them, she had seen ale erase up to two weeks from Grantaire's memory, what was a few mere hours? Regardless she needed to get out of here before Enjolras woke up. Carefully, as not to wake him Éponine slipped out of Enjolras' bed he stirred causing Éponine to freeze, but he did not awake. Quickly, Éponine got dressed, pulling her cap low over her face Éponine tiptoed out of Enjolras' bedroom. She was almost free, just a little farther and she could bolt. Just then Éponine stepped on a squeaky floorboard. Éponine froze and stared wide-eyed at Enjolras as he stirred.

"Éponine?" Without a second thought Éponine bolted running as if the hounds of hell were at her heels.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Wait 'Ponine! Wait!" She heard Enjolras call, but this only pushed her farther yet. She was almost to the door when Enjolras grabbed her from behind.

"Let me go!" Éponine screamed

"Let go!"

"Not until you talk to me," Enjolras said pinning her to a wall.

"You got me drunk you damn bastard!" Éponine hissed venomously

"You don't care about me! You tricked me!" Éponine tried to fight him but Enjolras pinned her down.

"I did no such thing! What are you talking about?"

"This!" Éponine managed to brandish her ring-clad hand in his face, Enjolras' face paled and his eyes widened.

"Oh God!" He whispered

"I'll be killed because of you!" My father sells me to men you know that don't you?" Éponine cried

"Damn it Éponine I didn't mean for this to happen! We were drunk!" Enjolras cried.

"I'll bet you money it's not even legal!" Éponine cried

"Who would marry a slut and a drunk man?"

"I don't care how it happened, it happened let's just make the best of-"

"I want an annulment!" Enjolras froze, his words died on his tongue.

"There, I talked. Now. Let. Me. Go!" Éponine said through clenched teeth, almost automatically Enjolras released her and Éponine ran out of the garret without a second glance.

TADA! Told ya things would get complicated... review!
