There was a knock on the door while Enjolras was still in the shower. Eponine was in her bedroom, sitting in just her bra and panties, attempting to brush out the paint that had not come out during its thorough scrubbing in her shower. She quickly pulled on her bathrobe and raced to the door. She pulled it open to find Montparnasse standing there.

"Babe. Want to explain this to me?" He spat as he pushed passed her. "It's a nice place. I would have stopped by sooner, but you didn't exactly leave me an address."

Eponine closed the door softly and turned to face him. "I've wanted to leave for a long time."

"No. You haven't. You just want to be chased. And that's okay. I'm willing to chase you."

"I Don't!" She cried desperately. " I want you to leave me alone. I have been happier in the past two days then I have been for the past 3 years with you! I went to school in Paris to get away from my past, and that includes you! And then you followed me here!"

"Because I love you."

"Because you're a jealous and possessive person who can't handle letting people go! You have this terrible need to control people, and it's not healthy."

"Baby… let's just go home and talk about this."

"No. This is it. I'm breaking up with you. For good this time."

Eponine saw something cross his face that she had seen many times. She began to brace herself for the blow that would surely come. When it didn't she looked up at Montparnasse again, to see him looking past her shoulder. She spun around to see Enjolras standing there in nothing but a towel, with an almost comical look of outrage and shock splashed across his face. Montparnasse's eye glanced at Eponine in her robe to Enjolras' towel, and his dark look grew darker.

"You fucking little slut."

"Get out." Enjolras was between Montparnasse and Eponine in a heartbeat, but Montparnasse ignored him.

"You stupid fucking whore."

No one was more surprise then Enjolras when he punched Montparnasse hard enough to knock him to the ground. Enjolras had never been in a physical fight in his life, and unfortunately, it looked as though his first one would involve him being naked. But Montparnasse, despite being much larger then Enjolras, didn't return the hit, and simply got up and left, but not before glancing behind to give Eponine a look that made her step back in fear. Enjolras had never seen Eponine so afraid, and it broke his heart. She was staring at the floor, and mumbled a soft thanks, before she turned and ran into her room.
