Chapter 6
Courfeyrac was crying when he finished thinking about how he and Gavroche met. He couldn't believe that Gavroche was six when they first met, now he was eleven and would be twelve in a month.
"Courf, what's wrong? Your crying please tell me." Gavroche asked.
"Oh Gav, I was just thinking about how we met. You should remember. It makes me sad and sorta happy knowing that you are with me and away from Thenardier. It makes me sad to think that that was how you were treated and how Eponine is treated. That's all, I love you too much to think that you were abused." Courfeyrac said sheading a few tears.
"I'm glad we met. Without you I would be dead. Plus you are an amazing big brother and fatherly like person to me." Gavroche said with a smile.
"I know, Gav. I am too." Courfeyrac said ruffling the boy's hair, "You should get some sleep."
"Nah. I tried, but I had a nightmare while you were taking watch so Jehan had to calm me down." Gavroche said honestly looking at Jehan, who was peacefully sleeping, "Can I tell you 'bout it?"
"Course you can always tell me about." Courfeyrac exclaimed.
So Gavroche started to explain his nightmare.
"Well… It starts before we met and my 'father' is beating the life out of me for touching his alcohol." Gavroche started.
Courfeyrac nodded crumpling his nose.
"Then he throws me out into the streets, but before anyone can do anythin' the scene changes." Gavroche continues, "We are here at the barricade, and each of you are getting' shot infron' of me. I can't move or do anythin'." Gavroche stopped letting a few tears slip from his eyes.
"Then everyone is dead… except you an' me, Courf. T-t-then the leader of the guard comes up behind you, I try to scream, but I can't make any noise, an' shoots you though the heart. You cry in pain and fall to your feet, you try to say something, but it's slurred. Kinda like when R tries to talk, but he is extremely drunk. Then you die at my feet." Gavroche sobbed.
"Then what?" Courfeyrac asked.
"I-I-I w-w-woke up screaming your name. With tears st-streaming d-down m-my f-f-face." Gavroche wailed.
Courfeyrac, without much thought, pulled the boy onto his lap, and cradled him. Gavroche buried his head into Courfeyrac's shoulder.
"Hey, hey, hey, it was a dream, I will make sure that you, Jehan, Marius, and I will live through this. I promise." Courfeyrac said. Stroking Gavroche's hair.
Gavroche nodded before falling asleep in his arms. He didn't dare to move the boy, so he lied back, and fell asleep listening to the boy's heavy breathing.
It was late that night and Courfeyrac woke up hearing screaming.
"Gav? Are you ok?" Courfeyrac asked.
Gavroche looked up tears streaming down his face. Courfeyrac looked at the boy and wiped away Gavroche's tears with his thumb. Gavroche took a deep breath and fell back asleep in Courfeyrac's arms.
