Chapter 3

ABC Cafe

The time is near

So near it's stirring the blood in their veins!

And yet beware

Don't let the wine go to your brains!

We need a sign

To rally the people

To call them to arms

To bring them in line!


When they arrived at the cafe, the other students had already brought Marius' body inside. They laid him down on the floor and pulled a blanket over him. When Enjolras walked in with Eponine they stopped in front of him. Enjolras gulped at seeing his best friend's dead body.

"It's good you brought him here," he nodded at some other students.

Eponine could barely look at the body, knowing that it was Marius, the love of her life.

"Let's go upstairs," Enjolras said to her. "I think we need a drink,"

Eponine nodded and followed him upstairs.

They saw Courfeyrac, Combeferre and Grantaire sitting at a table. They all looked tired and disappointed, but still you could see that light in their eyes, they wanted to fight, they couldn't let this happen. Grantaire was drunk as always and didn't really seem to understand what was going on. Enjolras saw that his friend was terribly drunk.

"Don't let the wine go to your brains, mate," he said and grabbed the bottle of wine out of his hands.

"Hey!" Grantaire exclaimed. "But, En- Enwo-"

"Enjolras" Eponine finished him.

Enjolras looked at her and smiled a little, "Yes, that's how you pronounce it my friend,"

Eponine walked over to a table and sat down. Enjolras walked over to her and sat down opposite her.

"It's gonna be okay… trust me," he said and looked into her eyes.

"I-I know.." she answered.

He gave her a little smile and took one of her hands in his.

She looked at their hands and gulped.

"Enjolras! Enjolras!" they suddenly heard someone yelling who was running upstairs.

Enjolras looked up and saw it was Gavroche.

"Enjolras look!" he said and ran over to him.

Enjolras stood up and kneeled down in front of the boy, he saw that he was holding a letter in his hand.

"I've a letter from the barricade!" Gavroche said.

"The barricade?" Enjolras answered confused.

"Yes! People have faith in it! They are building a barricade!"

"You got to be kidding me…" he said even more confused.

"No, it's true! Vive la France!" the young boy said happily.

Enjolras took the letter from him and started reading it, his smile becoming bigger at every line.

When he finished reading the letter he picked up Gavroche and kissed his forehead.

"You're the top of the class!"

"Ugh!" Gavroche said in disgust. "Put me down,"

Enjolras laughed and put him down again.

He turned to the other students, "We are going to build a barricade!"

All the students raised their hands in agreement and said "Vive la France!"

They all laughed happily and seemed to forget about the tragic loss of their friend for a few moments.

Enjolras walked over to Eponine and sat down again.

"This is great! Finally we will have power, there's coming a French Revolution!"

Eponine smiled at him "I'm so happy for you, all of you,"

"You're not happy yourself?"

"Of course I am, but you guys have wanted it for so long,"

"Are you going to help us? Fight with us?" Enjolras asked her.

"Of course she's," Gavroche said and smirked at his sister.

"Of course I will," she said and laughed.
