::Eponine::
Eponine hoisted herself up with Enjolras's arm; their fingers still locked.
"Ok," he started. "Put your arm around my neck and lean on me." She did so. He was strong, she could tell. Strong and determined. "Now, step with me, slowly at first, and we'll see how far we can get." Eponine took her first step on her bad leg. The pain was unbearable. She cried out and started to fall when Enjolras caught her and pulled her back up. She remained in his arms for a minute before starting to walk again.
She walked with him for a few steady minutes, but then he insisted they take a rest. Eponine sat back down on the bed, and Enjolras stood there, massaging the back of his neck.
Eponine noticed this and said; "You don't have to tow me around like this, you know"
He looked up. "What? No, Eponine, no. It's not you, its stress. I'm tense all the time now that there is a fight going on." Eponine looked expectantly at him.
"And now that you and Marius are at each other's necks, right?" Enjolras's eyes worked themselves into slits.
"No, that isn't it." He said stubbornly. "Just forget about Marius, ok?" Eponine nodded.
"Fine," She started. "But you guys should fix things between you soon, before everything gets worse." She warned.
Enjolras thought about the possibilities of the situation worsening until Eponine said, "I want to try walking again, Enjolras." Enjolras snapped back into focus and hoisted Eponine up again. After an unproductive half an hour of walking across the room, Eponine could limp a few inches without much help.
"That's great, Eponine." Enjolras complimented her when she sat down on her cot after walking to it again. He took a seat next to her.
She breathed heavily. "You're doing really well, Eponine." He said ecstatically. "You're really brave, did you know that?" Eponine snorted.
"Brave?" She wasn't convinced.
"Yeah." He brought his head closer to hers and kissed her gently on lips.
Eponine was too startled to hear the footsteps approaching her room.
Marius POV (a/n:sorry I had to put this at the end of Eponine's chapter because it was too short to be it's own chapter)
Marius reached the top of the stairs. He hated to admit it but he was looking for Enjolras so he could apologize. He opened the door that Eponine and Cosette were staying in, but when he looked inside, he found just Eponine...and Enjolras was kissing her! He stared, unable to move.
Finally when he got his voice back, he said, "Enjolras, what...how could you...you...you're a traitor, Enjolras." Then he ran back down the stairs. How could Enjolras do something like that?
Tell Marius off for swooning over Cosette, then go and kiss Eponine when his back was turned. It was revolting. Marius was so mad that he broke the glass pane in the door when he slammed it on his way outside.
He wasn't EVER going to apologize to Enjolras.
