"Drink, drink!" the crowd roared as Grantaire downed what seemed like his 100th bottle of beer. When Grantaire finished, Combeferre smiled smugly and he and Eponine walked over to Courfeyrac, Combeferre grinning from ear to ear. Courfeyrac frowned when he saw his friend's smug smile.
"I told you that Taire could beat your cousin," Combeferre stated, chuckling at the look on Courfeyrac's face.
"My cousin had a bad day. That's all, he could still beat Taire another time," Courfeyrac argued weakly, knowing that Grantaire could indeed beat anybody.
Combeferre just shook his head and put out his hand for the ten dollars that Courfeyrac owed him. Courfeyrac glared at his friend's outstretched arm and begrudging placed the 10 dollars onto his hand. "I'm going to get that back, so don't go spending it in a hurry," he warned.
"I wouldn't dare, why miss a chance to get more money from you?" Combeferre asked jokingly.
As the pair continued to argue with Combeferre randomly throwing in philosophical comments, Eponine began to get extremely bored and began to look around the room, watching everybody have fun.
Her eyes settled on Marius and Cosette sitting on the couch together, Marius braiding Cosette's hair and Cosette smiling contently while they talked. Eponine didn't know how they talked that much, sometimes they never shut up and sometimes they were completely silent, just sitting together and staring into each other's eyes or sometimes Marius read to her. in short, Eponine envied them so much it hurt.
"Eponine?" Combeferre asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Hu- what?" she asked.
Combeferre sighed as if there was something that he wasn't telling her. "I gotta go talk to Courfeyrac about something, I can tell you're bored so you don't need to follow me everywhere I go."
"Okay… if you're sure," Eponine said, smiling widely at him and rubbing her head, realising how drunk she really was.
She saw Galinda and Enjolras talking to each other, Galinda giggling loudly and Enjolras frowning deeply. Eponine grabbed a can of beer and smiled sweetly at Enjolras, ignoring Galinda as she had done to Eponine so many times. "Hey Enjolras," she greeted, imitating Galinda.
"Uh hi Eponine," Enjolras greeted, looking up from the table that his eyes had been fixed on.
"How are you?" she asked, resting her elbows on the table and grinning at him.
"Good," he replied, staring at her curiously, completely forgetting about his girlfriend. He didn't suspect her of being drunk as he wasn't exactly sober after downing a few cans of beer to try and zone out Galinda.
"Do you like the party?" she asked, moving her face ever so slightly closer to his.
"No, Enjolras doesn't like parties," Galinda snapped, dragging Enjolras –who had also edged closer to Eponine- further away.
"I like this party," Enjolras objected, glaring fiercely at Galinda.
"Enjolras, let's go," she commanded, causing Eponine to frown and stick her tongue out at her before grabbing another can of beer.
"You know what Galinda? No. just piss off," Enjolras argued.
"Come on Enjy, you don't mean it, let's just—" Galinda began to say, getting incredibly nervous.
"Fuck. Off," Enjolras snarled. Eponine beamed with pride.
"No, you can't speak to me like that, I refuse to be-" Galinda argued.
Enjolras stood, raising a fist and actually preparing to punch the girl in the face.
"Enjolras," Galinda snapped, taking a cautious step back. Enjolras stepped forward.
Enjolras shook his head, reminding himself that he couldn't just punch the girl. "Leave Galinda," he sighed.
"But Enjolras, you're my boyfriend," Galinda pointed out, seeing Enjolras' lowered wrist and squeezing it gently. "I love you, sweetie."
"You don't love me. Your just fucking obsessed with me and I'm so bloody sick of a bunch of crazy girls giggling around me just because the idea that they wanted to date me somehow got into their sick, twisted minds. I don't want to date anyone, so I'm not going to. Consider yourself single," Enjolras snapped, grabbing Eponine's wrist tightly and dragging her from the room.
"You want to date Eponine though!" Galinda shrieked from behind them both.

Ugh this is getting so hard to write and I think it's showing in the drop of quality in the chapters and the shortage of length so instead of posting a million awful chapters I'm putting this story on hiatus. I don't know how long it will be, but I know that I just can't write this anymore. Sorry.
