A/N: the only song is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler and I do not own it.
Josette opens her eyes to find herself alone in the Paris streets.
She is where the barricade once laid, but realizes she must be in heaven.
She stands and finds people looking healthy and happy talking and dancing with loved ones.
Josette only wishes she could have her darling Enjorlas here to dance with her. Yet she wishes him a long life.
She walks a while taking in the fact that she is dead.
She looks down to see no trace of any wounds and smiles for she will look her best once he comes.
Josette hears a voice, a girl's voice,it is laughing. After listening for a while Josette realizes the voice belongs to Eponine.
She runs to the source and once she is closer, she hears a joke she knows all to well. The voice as well, it is her brother's voice.
She runs to find them standing there talking.
Without thinking, Josette runs to them embracing them deeply. They hug her back, all crying tears of happiness.
"Glad that you can join us." Ace says still holding her tightly.
"Josette." A voice rings out clear as crystals.
Josette turns to see her father standing before her.
He looks well, stocky and built, clean and healthy.
"Father," Josette whispers full of shock, her eyes fill with tears of joy and embraces him.
"I never thought that I would see you again." She says.
Her father plainly smiles at her, saying more than words spoken can.
"My turn!" A younger voice shouts and Josette hears footsteps running to her. The little boy squeezes past and Josette notices it is none other than Gavroche.
"Gavroche! It is you." She says kneeling down to hug him.
Josette cannot help but feel somewhat sad, she has all the people who have left her on earth, but there is still someone she left on the earth.
"Whatever is the matter, my dearie?" Josette's father asks wondering why her gladness has worn off.
"Nothing. I could not be happier. I have all those who love me." She says standing up.
"No you do not." Eponine says softly.
They lead her to a fountain that is unfamiliar to Josette.
She leans in to look at the water and her father places his hand in it, disrupting the water until of picture came in focus.
It is Enjorlas, on earth. Josette instantaneously smiles but it vanishes looking at his pained expression.
The others back off a bit knowing they have gone through this too. The final and painful goodbye.
Josette's father saw his son and daughter grieve at his small funeral but promise to be there for each other.
Ace saw his sister sing to his corpse and cry over him now that he has broken his promise.
Eponine saw Marius holding back his tears as describing what he loved about her and how he regrets some of the things he had said and did.
Gavroche saw the students mourn his death and even cry, and he saw Josette break once more at his death.
Now it is Josette's turn.
She watches him sing to her lifeless body and kiss it once more. She sees Marius kiss her forehead goodbye.
She sees the hurt mashed with anger on his face and Josette cannot bare to watch but she cannot look away.
She sees Marius sing to him for comfort yet it only helped a little bit. She sees Enjorlas and Marius not sleep almost the whole night, silently crying and Enjorlas is clutching her necklace. The thing she left behind.
"Oh dearest Josette." He whispers to himself unknowingly telling Josette everything.
"I should have died first, for you. You should be here alive and well, not me. You should have been able to start a family of your own, with me. I will always love you and no one else. You shall live in what is left of my heart." He takes a small breath and says, "I promise I will always think of you."
Her mother walks up looking scared and sad.
"Josette! Ace! Josette, I am sorry for before, you should do whatever makes you happy."
Enjorlas stands and walks to her mother.
"They have fallen, they have left this earth. I am sorry, I wish there was more I could have done." He says.
Her mother notices the necklace in his hand and whispers, "It was you. Josette loved you. She went against my wishes just to be with you. If you shall ever need anything I hope you know where to find me." Enjorlas nods hiding his tears he had shed earlier.
"One has nothing if not hope." Josette whispers still watching.
Her mother walks off does a quick silent prayer before whispering, "Josette, Ace, I am sorry for all the pain I have caused." She is now truly alone because she has pushed them all away.
Enjorlas sits back down and kisses the ring. Marius is daydreaming about Josette, Eponine, and Cosette and hoping they are happy wherever they are.
Enjorlas cannot believe he is alone this night, without his dear Josette in his arms.
The picture begins to fade and Josette shouts, "No, no come back. Do not go!"
She tries to grab him in the water but his face is already gone.
Josette cries as her father holds her. Something she has not experienced in a while. A long while. She enjoys it and calms her mind.
She will wait for him, however long it maybe.
Enjorlas slowly slips into unconsciousness because his body is tired from the pain yet his mind is wide awake.
He dreams that he is in the Paris town square alone. He sees the dark dark midnight locks in front of him. The beautiful flowing curls he knows belong to Josette. He only wishes he could see her bright green eyes once more.
"Turn around." He sings trying to see her delightful face once more.
Josette sits on the edge of the fountain and says, "May I please have a moment alone?"
The others turn knowing that whatever she does, Enjorlas will hear.
"Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round." She sings about Enjorlas, never knowing how long it will be until he comes, if he comes. Josette has no idea what the regulations are.
"Turn around." Enjorlas budges. He wishes to move closer yet he cannot. He hears her sing once more.
"Every now and then
I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears." Josette sings in heaven unbeknownst to her, he can still hear every word.
"Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes."
"Turn around bright eyes." Enjorlas sings still unable to move.
Josette sings in heaven and Enjorlas can still hear her beautiful voice ring through his mind.
"Every now and then I fall apart."
"Turn around bright eyes."
"Every now and then I fall apart.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight."
"Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart." They sing at the same time, "Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart."
"Turn around bright eyes!"
"Every now and then I fall apart."
"Turn around bright eyes."
"Every now and the I fall apart.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong
Together we can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight."
Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart." The once again sing in unison.
"A total eclipse of the heart." Josette sings again in pain.
"Turn around, bright eyes." Enjorlas sings begging as the figure vanishes and he is awaken.
