By The Bridge

Marius, Eponine, Cosette and Enjolrus are at Cambridge University! Eponine is in love with Marius but there is a twist of fate when someone else catches his eye. Les Mis with a Twist.

5. A Grief That Can't Be Spoken

"Eponine!" A voice called down the corridors of the university. Eponine spun around and met the eyes of her former best friend.

"Leanne?" Eponine started.
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I know you were trying to help me with Enjolras and I should not have been so harsh on you. Anyway I've started dating this other guy. Not Enjolras. I'm over him and so... I think we should, reconcile our friendship." She offered.

It had been three weeks since the dance and Leanne and Eponine hadn't spoken since. Marius and Cosette had grown very close but fortunately for Eponine, they were not yet in a relationship.
"I appreciate your apology Leanne. I'm sorry too. I should not have taken things into my own hands like that. Forgive me." Eponine replied.
"Of course I forgive you!" Leanne cried hugging Eponine tightly. "Celebratory ice cream tomorrow at three? I'll pay." Leanne suggested.
"Wouldn't miss it." Eponine giggled.
Suddenly the second bell went and the girls hurried off to their respective classes.
