I'm terribly sorry I haven't updated. I was ill and school is overpowering my life. But I'm finally homework free and I had a snow day today so here is *finally* the update! Oh! And I know I changed some things around with ages and all that, but I hope it isn't a big deal. Enjoy!

A month had passed. All was calm. The final preparations were being set for the wedding. Eponine went into town one day to get some small trinkets. As she was walking, she heard somebody call her name. She turned around to see who it was. It was Grantaire. He was out of breath.

"Eponine. I-I found her." he said, panting.

"Found whom?" she asked, confused.

"Your sister. Azelma. She's in a part of the city."

"Please. Take me to her."

So, Grantaire led Eponine through the normal mob of people, to where he last saw Azelma, in a store. They finally found her sitting on a corner. Begging for money. Eponine told Grantaire to wait where he was; she had wanted to go alone. As she made her way over to her sister, Azelma heard footsteps and turned and said, "Madam, do you have any money you can spare? Please. I'll do anything for at least five francs."

Eponine knew Azelma didn't recognize her. "Azelma." she said.

"How do you know my name?" Azlema asked, standing up.

"Zel, it's me. Eponine." As soon as Azelma said that, she looked at her sister, with tear filled eyes.

" 'Ponine, is that really you?"

Eponine chuckled and shook her head up and down. Before she could say a word, Azelma quickly grabbed her younger sister and gave her a tight hug. The sisters stood there hugging, both in tears. As soon as Azelma let go, she wiped her eyes. Her eye makeup had smeared from her crying. Eponine looked at her sister, and asked "Zel, what happened? Why did you become what you have?"

Azelma looked down, ashamed. "As soon as Ieft, I knew I wouldn't have enough to any money, and that's the only way I knew how to get it. H-how did you know?"

Eponine looked over her shoulder to Grantaire, who was leaning against a brick wall. She smiled at him. "An old friend told me."

Azelma noticed him standing over there. She winked and said "well tell him thank you."

"Come with me. Leave your life of this behind. I-we can help you. Please?"

"I don't know. I'm afraid of what Papa will do and say when we get home. If he even acknowledges me."

"I'm not living with Papa anymore. I left. I had to."

"I'm glad you're not."

"I agree. Let's get out of here. Grantaire, lead us out." Eponine shouted. They all walked out of the small section they were in, and back to the main parts of Paris. They were walking when all of a sudden, somebody grabbed a hold of Eponine's arm. She gasped and turned around. She then let out a sigh of relief seeing that it was Enjolras. He hugged her and said

" 'Ponine. I'm so glad I found you. I was looking all day and simply must do something. I have been putting it off, but now it has to be done before next week."

"What's next week?" Azelma asked, confused.

Eponine, smiling at Enjolras, said "our wedding."

"Aw my little sister is getting married!"

"Enjolras, what's so important that you couldn't wait? Or are you just that excited?" she teased.

"Since this wasn't don't properly the first time," he started before taking Eponine's hand and dropping down to one knee, "Eponine Thénardier. I love you more than words can describe and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Eponine, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, shook her head yes. As he got up and hugged her, she told him "I love you."

"I love you too." he said before kissing his beautiful fiancé.
