A/N: This chapter is really short. Thanks to my followers but reviews would be nice as well. We writers thrive on feedback! So please read and review!
Eponine was sitting on the ground crying. What was going on? It wasn't supposed to have happened this way. She had never been treated this way by Marius before so she didn't get it. She felt someone pulling on her arm and pulling her up. She looked up and saw Enjolras looking at her concerned. "Are you okay?" Since when did he become so concerned about her? He never even talked to her before plus he was Marius's best friend which right now wasn't a good thing. "I'm fine," she lied. No she wasn't fine. It was very obvious that she wasn't. She didn't even get why he would ask such dumb question when she was sitting on the ground bawling her eyes out.
"Look Eponine I'm sorry. I knew something like this was going to happen." He told her as he picked her backpack up off of the ground.
"What?" She said shocked. How did he know about her pregnancy? She hadn't even told anyone.
"You and Marius. I knew he would end up hurting you. I told him not to keep leading you on like this. He took advantage of the fact that you liked him." He explained. She shook her head. She couldn't believe that.
"He likes me. He's just…shocked that's all."
"Shocked about what? What are you talking about?" Enjolras asked.
"It's nothing. We just had a fight. I'm sure everything is going to be fine between us." He looked at her like he felt sorry for her like she was lying to herself. She sadly realized that she probably was and that Enjolras of all people knew that she was being naïve.
"I know this is none of my business but you can do much better than Pontmercy." She grabbed her back from him and said "You're right it is none of your business. You don't know anything about our relationship."
"I know you don't really have a relationship. What you have is sex. You were just a hook up buddy to him, nothing more. If Cosette was putting out he wouldn't even be with you. Sorry to be blunt but it's the truth. He talks about it all of the time. In fact he brags that he has you wrapped around his…well you know what."
"Shut up! Just shut up! That's disgusting Enjolras! How could you lie like that? Marius would never say anything like that about me!"
"Believe what you want but I'm telling you the truth. You don't deserve to be treated that way Eponine. Why were you letting yourself get used like that? Just because of some stupid crush?"
"It's not just a crush." She insisted. She wasn't so sure of that now though. She was wondering if there was any truth to Enjolras words. They were best friends after all so he would know. She also knew that guys did talk and sometimes exaggerated. That's all it was. He had to pretend to his friends that he was completely into Cosette since that was how it was supposed to be. When Marius calmed down, he would do the right thing by her. She just had to believe that.
"Fine, keep telling yourself that. Keep letting him use you as his play thing instead of being with someone who really likes you. Why are you being so dense when…you know what never mind." He said then turned to go back inside. What was that all about? It didn't really matter. She just hoped for her own sake that Enjolras was the one who was lying and that she wasn't lying to herself.
