A/N Hey guys! I'm gonna make this quick cause I left a cliffhanger so THANK YOU PEOPLE WHO FAVED, FOLLOWED AND REVIEWED! And please please review. Thank you so much. And Cosette is a little OOC in this chapter so I'm sorry about that. R&R!

DISCLAIMER: Nope


Cosette slowly walked into the room and noticed Marius first. "Oh, Cosette! I was just wondering what took you so long." Marius said, linking his arm with hers. She smiled and placed a kiss on Marius' cheek. Then she scanned the room and her eyes stopped on Eponine. They stared at each other in silence but their stares said even more words than they could ever say. Cosette didn't want to remember Eponine but Eponine always wanted to meet Cosette and talk to her again. She wanted them to be just as close as they were in their childhood but Cosette, unbeknownst to Eponine, didn't want to see her ever again. "Marius, it's really nice of you to bring your…fiancée? Yes, it's nice of you to bring your fiancée with you here." Enjolras said then he turned to Cosette. "It's really nice meeting you, Mademoiselle. I'm Enjolras," he said and walked up to Cosette to kiss her hand softly. Cosette blushed and said, "Enchanté." Eponine felt deep jealousy inside of her but she didn't know why. It was just an act of greeting that every gentleman does to every woman but Eponine still felt jealous. She pushed her thoughts away and focused on Cosette, who was rather glaring at her. She was starting to wonder why Cosette, the most innocent, kind, and loving person she'd ever met, was having a rivalry with her. She was starting to think Cosette didn't like her. But why? Eponine couldn't help but think. "Cosette, this is Eponine." Marius told Cosette, gesturing toward Eponine. Cosette faked a smile and nodded her head. Eponine did the same but her smile was more genuine. Eponine and Enjolras were standing next to each other and Cosette thought they were together so she was relieved that Eponine wasn't trying to get Marius anymore. "So, Marius, you never told us how it's going with you so far." Eponine said.

"Well, I was saved by Joly and he brought me back to my grandfather's home. Then the next day Cosette came to visit me with her father and, well, we're getting engaged." Marius said happily.

"I'm so happy for you two!" Eponine said, patting Marius' shoulder. Cosette figured that she was wrong after all. Eponine and Enjolras aren't together. Eponine still wants Marius as her own. But Cosette saw Eponine and Enjolras holding hands and laughing together. She was very confused. Then another idea popped into her head. Eponine wants both men at once! "What do you think you are doing?!" Cosette half-yelled at Eponine suddenly. Eponine was about to speak but Cosette cut right in, "What do you want?! Isn't one man already enough for you?! You are such a... I can thoroughly understand now why your father pays you to be a whore! It's because you are so capable of doing it! If you already have Enjolras, why do you want Marius?! You're nothing but a woman who wants a lot of men to love you! What do you even think you are? A slut who could seduce literally everyone?! And you, Marius! How could you?! I thought you loved me! I can't believe you are doing this to me! After proposing to me, I thought you were committed! But you aren't!" Cosette screamed, tears in her eyes. Then she continued grimly to Eponine, "Eponine, when I get my hands on you and tell Enjolras the truth, you'll either be left single or dead!" Cosette's hand flew across Eponine's face and Enjolras quickly ran to her aid. Eponine put her hand on her cheek in pain and looked at Cosette painfully. Why, Cosette? Why did you do this to me? I thought we were friends. Cosette ran out of the room sobbing and Marius followed her. "Cosette, what-"

"Don't touch me or talk to me. Go be with her if you really love her that much." Cosette snapped, causing Marius to step back, confused. "What are you even saying?" he asked.

"Don't you understand? Eponine is trying to get you to be hers, Marius. And you let her. I saw the way you talked to each other and the way you laughed and the contact you had. I can't believe you don't have a clue about all of this!" Marius, by that time, was even more confused than he was before. "Cosette, it's all a misunderstanding. I don't even know why you think I love her. I don't. I love you and it will forever be like that until I die." Marius said. Cosette blinked once, then blinked again. "What?" Cosette managed to say only that. "I am telling the truth, Cosette. You have to believe me. I and Eponine are nothing more than good friends and you have to understand that." Marius said, putting both hands on Cosette's shoulders. Cosette bit down on her lower lip hard. She felt guilty for slapping Eponine for absolutely no reason and most of all, she was incredibly ashamed of her behavior earlier. Then tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably. Marius was shocked for moment, wondering what reason she was crying for but he thought she was just exhausted. "Come on, Cosette. We should go back home." Marius said, wrapping an arm around Cosette's shoulder and together they walked back home.


Meanwhile in the hospital room, Eponine, Enjolras and Gavroche were eavesdropping the conversation between Marius and Cosette. Enjolras and Gavroche were listening but not too intently while Eponine caught onto every single word that came out. "Don't touch me or talk to me. Go be with her if you really love her that much." Cosette's voice echoed through the hallway. Eponine gasped. So she thought he was having an affair with me! "What are you even saying?" Marius asked Cosette. "Don't you understand? Eponine is trying to get you to be hers, Marius. And you let her. I saw the way..." Cosette continued speaking while Eponine listened. She didn't think Cosette was like that at all. She'd always thought that Cosette was an innocent, kind, caring and loving person. "I can't believe it." Eponine muttered to herself.

"What did she say?" Enjolras asked. Eponine turned to him in surprise. "I thought you were listening but never mind. Well, apparently she thinks I'm trying to get Marius and she think that Marius is having an affair with me..." Her voice trailed off as she recalled that she once loved Marius and that if she still did, it would make her rather happy but she wasn't in love with him anymore. "But...is he?" Enjolras asked, looking concerned.

"I'm surprised you are even asking." Eponine simply said and shook her head. "No, it isn't true. Just...Please don't believe every word she's saying because she misunderstood. I didn't think she'd be this kind of person. I mean, her appearance is just indescribable."

"She's blonde, for all I know." Gavroche chimed in. Eponine chuckled and said, "Well, yes, indeed. She is blonde. But she's far prettier than me, after all. Who would want me as the-" She stopped to look at Enjolras, whose head was in his palms and he looked ever so solemn. Eponine put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look up at her. She gasped after seeing his eyes red from crying. "What's wrong?" Gavroche asked, hurrying to Enjolras' side. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine. It's fine. Everything's fine." Enjolras said and sniffed his nose. "No, Enjolras. Nothing is alright at the moment. It's very obvious that you've been crying." Eponine said. Enjolras suddenly looked alarmed. "What, are my eyes that red? You can see that I've been...you know?"

"Enjolras, just tell me what's wrong and we can try to sort it out." Eponine said. Enjolras shook his head instead of answering. "It's really nothing, Eponine. Don't worry about me."

"But-"

"I said don't worry! I'm fine! Just leave me alone, please!" Enjolras burst out, making Eponine step away from him and Gavroche ran over to Eponine's side, hiding behind her. Enjolras plopped himself down on a chair and ran a hand through his hair in frustration. Then he got up and walked right out of the room. Nobody knew where he was going or when he was going to come back but he was already out of sight. Suddenly, the nurse came into the room and handed Eponine a piece of paper then walked out. "What's that?" Gavroche asked. Eponine flipped the paper to the other side and words were scribbled down on the whole page.

Dearest Eponine, Enjolras and Gavroche,
I know Cosette hasn't really been nice to you, Eponine, but really, she's just exhausted. And since I know you don't have homes to go to, I will offer you to stay at my home for as long as you like. I asked my grandfather and my aunt and they have absolutely no problem with you staying. Also, I would like to apologize about the scene with Cosette and every moment after that. It's been a pleasure knowing that we all survived together and at least we will get to meet again.
Your friend,
Marius Pontmercy

Eponine stared at the letter for a long time before responding. "Gavroche, I think we have a new home to stay in." Eponine said. Gavroche gasped and jumped onto Eponine, hugging her. "Oh, it's going to be so great!" he screamed.

"Shh. It's a hospital, Gavroche. Don't be so noisy. Anyway, Marius is letting us stay at his home for as long as we like." Eponine said excitedly. Gavroche's eyes widened even more. "Good Lord! You aren't serious, are you, 'Ponine? Like, hell you aren't!"

"I am!" The siblings hugged each other once more before sneaking out of the hospital to go home and pack their things. When they got there, they weren't expecting what was before their eyes.


I'm really sorry for another cliffhanger but I just wanted to divide up the chapters a bit better. :) R&R!
