Chapter 19- The End Part 2
A/N: This is the last Chapter and is kind of sad. I may do a sequel though... I don't know. Anyway, I don't own Les Miserables.
So Grantaire would wait and wait each day for Eponine to come home. Then one day, Enjolras and Joly came in they carried a large, bloodstained blanket wrapped around a body.
"Grantaire... we found Eponine... She was... oh it was horrible." Enjolras gasped
"Marius was next to her. He was dead as well... It looked as though he had... Oh I can't say it..." Joly choked out.
"Eponine." Grantaire whispered. He walked to the blanket and pulled back the wrap by her face. She was most certainly dead. Grantaire kissed her forehead and cried. He laid down on the mattress they once shared and wept. Ep padded over to him and licked his tearstained cheek. Grantaire pulled her into his chest and sobbed. Enjolras removed Eponine's hat and placed it next to Grantaire.
"We'll go and bury her now." Joly said softly. He and Enjolras carried her out the door.
So Grantaire was never the same. He developed a true drinking problem. He had never become Capital R after that. Joly and Enjolras were always trying to comfort him as well as Azelma and Gavroche. But Azelma was also deeply troubled by Eponine's death. One day, Joly came home carrying Azelma's body.
"She drowned herself... That's another of our 'merry band' gone."
Grantaire now only had Joly, Enjolras, and Gavroche to provide human comfort. Then, one day, Enjolras and Joly were both killed in a tragic incident involving a runaway cart. Grantaire was now almost always silent. Gavroche was becoming annoyed by this.
"Grantaire! I'm sick of you moping around all of the time! I'm leaving!"
With that, Gavroche ran out the door. He was never seen again. Now, Grantaire only had Ep. But she was the runt of the litter and was now suffering from a rare disease. Grantaire tried to nurse her back to health but she died two weeks after showing symptoms. Now, Grantaire was alone. He didn't eat. He didn't leave the house. One day, Grantaire got sick. He could not afford a doctor. He knew that he would die soon. He thought about Eponine again. She had died. Those girls took his wife and his only child.
He woke up one night about three weeks into his illness to see Eponine. He realized he could stand.
"Eponine?"
"Yes, my love."
"Are we going home?"
"Yes."
"Oh Eponine, I missed you so much. I couldn't live without you."
"I know."
Suddenly, Azelma and Gavroche appeared. They ran over and hugged Grantaire. Enjolras, Joly, and Lesgles appeared holding hands. Grantaire and Eponine kissed. Then they were all enveloped in a blinding light. When they arrived in heaven, Eponine and Grantaire went away to their own corner. There, they were greeted by Ep. Eponine then took Grantaire over to a cradle and said, "Meet your daughter, Celeste."
Grantaire kissed Eponine and asked, "Can I call her Hat Gamine?"
The End
A/N: Yes, corny end but I was tired. Again, I may do a sequel. But anyway, Please no flames.
