Chapter 10- Capital R says goodbye.

A/N: Yes. This one is sad too. I'm sorry that these two are sad but the next one lifts up before crashing down and goes like a roller coaster for a few chapters until being hilarious. This chapter is a little short because I am Auditioning for Joseph today (I want to play Judah again... who cares if I'm a girl... BPAC let me do it) and then I have a class that I have to be a model for. But Anyway, these chapters are only depressing because I've been depressed. I don't own Les Miserables.

When we last left our heroes, Eponine had gotten shot protecting Grantaire. She climbed the barricade and saw Marius. She remembered the letter but really just wanted to find Grantaire. Marius ran to her and Eponine cursed inwardly.

"Eponine! Oh no! Wat's wrong! You're hurt. Here, Let me help you! Oh, how could anyone do this to you? Are you dying? Oh, please don't die!"

"Marius, I have a letter for you... from Cosette... Where's Grantaire?"

"Oh, you don't want to see him... You want to see me..."

Eponine looked at him. Oh great. Now he cared.

(The mild-mannered Grantaire sees his beloved sidekick and decides to become Capital R to make her happy.)

Eponine saw the nudist run to her and grab her from Marius' hands. He held her close and cried as Eponine looked down and thought, "Yeah, I really wanted to see THAT during my final moments."

"Oh, Eponine, mon cher Hat Girl! You can't die... I love you! You're only sixteen!"

Eponine decided to tell Grantaire everything. "Oh Grantaire... When I saw the man aiming at you, I couldn't let you die... I put my hand on the barrel and was shot. The bullet ripped through my hand and into my heart..."

(Capital R notices that the evil Les Amis are grief stricken... Could they actually care for Hat Girl?)

"Grantaire... when I first met you... I just thought you were a drunk and I didn't care for you but now... now I know, Mon Capital R... Now I know that I love you..."

Eponine reached up and kissed Grantaire as passionately as she could as Grantaire deepened the kiss. Then she laid back and closed her eyes giving Grantaire a smile.

"Eponine? Mon cher Hat Girl?" Grantaire whispered. He Then decided that she was really gone and let out a loud cry. "No!"
