Hi, I'm so sorry that I left updating this so long but with exams and coursework things have just got super crazy. I was sat this evening and I had a thought; I hadn't done a meet the parents for Eponine. Here goes. Enjoy.
We're taking Tristan to surgery in a minute. He's asking for you, Eponine'. She took a deep breath and entered the room.
'Hey, you okay Tris?'.
'I love you, you know that don't you? You and Dumpling. I've never loved anyone like I loved you'.
'I love you too, never like I loved anyone else'.
'If I don't get out, promise me you'll take care of yourself'.
'Don't say that Tris, you'll be fine'.
'Promise me!'.
'I promise'. They wheeled him away too theatre after that, Eponine was stood with tears in her eyes. A hand fell on her shoulder mad she spun around.
'Hey, Eponine. I'm Jane, Jane Roque, Grantaire's mother. We met a few months ago. Where's Taire?'.
'Mrs Roque, he's in a bad way, are you sure...?'.
'I need to see him. Where's Combeferre? With him?. Where's Tristan?'.
'Um, Tris has just gone into theatre and Taire's this way'. She lead the way down the corridor.
'Eponine where's Combeferre?'.
'Its not my place to say'.
Eponine left, she went back to Tristan's room, and slept, which surprised her. She was awoken a little while later by a stern looking women with Tristan's eyes and face shape and red hair.
'Who on earth are you?'.
'I'm Eponine, who are you?'.
'I'm Camillia Enjolras, his mother'.
'I'm his girlfriend'.
Jane Roque sat with her son for hours, tears streaming steadily down her face, blurring her vision. With the consent beeping of the machines around her, she felt a lot steadier. But she couldn't help but wonder where her son's boyfriend was. She left the hospital and stood outside, taking out her phone and finding his number.
'Hello?'.
'Gaston Combeferre, it's Jane Roque. Where are you?'.
'Ms Roque, there's something you need to now. You nor Grantaire would want me there, I'm the reason he's in that position. I cheated. A lot. I'm sorry. Bye'.
Jane stood there trying to process what she had just heard. There was more to that story, she just knew it.
She returned to the ward to find doctors swarming around her sons bed.
'What's going on?. Some one please tell me!'.
'We think your son might be waking up. Please wait outside a moment'.
Running down the ward, she found Eponine.
'Eponine, Grantaire's waking up, come with me'.
They traveled back down the ward together, some of the doctors had moved away.
One called them over 'Mrs Roque, your son will wake up in the coming minutes. Stay close'.
Jane didn't leave her sons side until he woke up, his doe like eyes blinking in the unfamiliar room and situation.
'Grantaire' both Eponine and Jane cried at the same time.
'Mum, Eponine, I can't feel my legs'.
Da da da! Oh, sorry for such a small chapter and a cliffhanger but I really wanted to get this up. Please review and tell me what you think. Until next time, Slaters.
