Chapter 7: To Love Another Person Is To See The Face Of God
Disclaimer: I don't own Les Misérables.
Okay Guys Here's a New for the Story: This Chapter is in
!3rd Person Point of View!
He was still sitting there confused. So Cosette really was Éponine? A smile made it's way onto his face. He had to keep himself from laughing out loud. Éponine and Cosette had done the same as him and Marius. The only thing that tied Éponine to Marius, her words in the chat, were really Cosette's.
He was just about to stand up, when Cosette retreated to her seat. "Marius, I'm really sorry about lying to you. I hope you can forgive me. I really enjoyed writing with you, and I think-, the blond male stopped her. "I'm sorry. I need to tell you something, Cosette. You're not in love with me. You're in love with what you think are my words. But they are not my words. They're Marius' words. I am Alex. And I really need to get after her.", he waved Marius back to the table and ran after Éponine.
Marius retreated back to the table at his friend's sign, but was confused when Enjolras left. "What happened, where are Marius and Cosette?", he asked. The blonde female turned around and smiled, a bit confused. "Marius and Cosette are here, sitting at this table. Alex and Éponine have run out, after revealing we both switched identities."
A beam broke out on Marius' face. "A heart full of love, a heart full of song. I'm doing everything all wrong. Oh god, for shame. I do not even know your name. Dear mademoiselle, won't you say, will you tell?", he began to recite and Cosette smiled back "A heart full of love, no fear no regret." "My name is Marius Pontmercy.", he winked and she laughed "And I'm Cosette." "Cosette, I don't know what to say." "Then make no sound." Marius looked deeply into her eyes "I am lost...", at which Cosette responded "I am found."
Marius smiled "A heart full of love.", and Cosette joined in "A heart full of you." Then he beamed at her "One single look and then I knew.", Cosette laughed at the irony "I knew it, too." And with a promise in his voice Marius responded "From Today." "Everyday.", the female agreed. "For it isn't a dream. Not a dream, after all.", they ended the poem in unison. Cosette then leaned forward to give him a kiss on the cheek, but he turned his head and their lips met.
Meanwhile Enjolras had began to search for Éponine. It did not take him long to find her sobbing against the wall. He knelt down next to her and pulled her in his arms. She was startled by that and turned to him.
"Marius? What? But I thought you... You were supposed to...Why are you not..?", she was confused by his presence. The male smiled "I'm not Marius. Seems like your best friend and my friend had the same idea. I'm Alexandre Enjolras." Immediately Éponine returned his embrace.
Two weeks later, when Enjolras and Marius brought Cosette and Éponine along to a meeting with their friends. Said friends were humored by the sight that was before them.
Grantaire grinned at Jehan "I would have never thought that the marble man would have ever fallen in love with a real woman." his romantic friend answered with a smile "We should be happy for him. He has become gentler. It's as if he has seen an angel.", he composed. "Yeah of course he saw an angel. Very obviously. And that angel has told him he could change the world." Jehan sighed and turned to his drunken friend "Oh come on Grantaire, don't be so pessimistic. You're forgetting something:
To love another person is to see the face of God"
And with that I finish this story. I hope this last chapter was enjoyed by everyone. I simply could not leave the Amis out of the story and Grantaire and Jehan even got a special entrance.
