"He wants me to marry him!" Thought Eponine. She felt her heart explode and her stomach flutter. However, somewhere deep in her mind she was thinking about what Enjolras had said. "He doesn't know what he's talking about." Eponine reasoned. "Marius and I were made for each other." But as the night became deeper, and she became more and more restless she became uncertain, Enjolras always setting into her mind.

Enjolras couldn't sleep any better than Eponine. "How could he take her away like this. He treats ignores her for months and then comes back expecting to take her like she's his god given right? Ponine is so much more than that. Ponine is stronger. She can't let him do this to her." Enjolras thought.

The next morning when Eponine came downstairs, Enjolras and Marius were sitting at the table. Marius noticed her and smiled.

"My dear Ponine," he said, "I have realized it was wrong of me never to notice you. Don't you see? We were meant for each other all along! I know that now! I know you're really the one. Eponine Thenardier, will you please come back with me to be my wife. I belong to you and you belong to me."

Eponine smiled. This was everything she had ever wanted. "Yes! Oh Marius of course!" She said smiling. How could she turn down this opportunity, this may be her last chance to get away from her wicked life. She found herself looking at Enjolras, to see maybe if he cared. She didn't know why, but she found herself disappointed when she looked at his face of stone.

Eponine went to pack and looked up to see Enjolras in the doorway, still bearing a face of no emotion.

"So this is goodbye" She said.

"Yes, I don't see why our paths should ever cross again." He said in a flat tone.

"Oh, well I thought maybe we had become friends and…"

"Well you thought wrong." He snapped cutting her off.

"Oh, well I guess you can be wrong about a person." She said in retaliation.

"You're wrong about Marius, he's using you to fill a void, if he loved you before why would he change his mind now. He does this Eponine." Enjolras said, still cold and calm.

This mad Eponine's cheeks burn in anger. "You don't know everything about everyone! Marius loves me! We belong to each other! He said so himself! And now don't you see! I'm free! I've finally made it out!"

"Eponine people don't belong to people, you said so yourself." Enjolras said, now looking at the ground.

"Well you wouldn't know the first thing about love." She snapped back.

"And you wouldn't know the first thing about freedom. Yes, now you've escaped from the cage, but your letting someone clip your wings."

"I think you should let me pack alone." She said, her voice now the cold one.

Enjolras walked away, a tear falling down his cheek.

"Joly, what are you doing in my room!" He said, shocked to see Joly just sitting there.

"You're going to lose her." Joly said.

"She was never mine to lose, I must let her go, I don't make her happy." Enjolras said sadly .

"Enjolras, you need each other. She's leaving now, run before it's too late."

With that Enjolras ran across the hall, out the door, and to the carriage Eponine was getting into with Marius. He threw the door open she had just closed.

"You're….wrong…" He said panting.

"What are you talking about" She asked.

"You say I know nothing of love, well Eponine I'm in love with you. You've got something no one else has and you see things no one else sees. Eponine please, I can't lose you, not now. I almost lost you once before. I need you to stay with me." He said with the most emotion Eponine had ever heard in his voice.

Eponine looked at Marius. "Go Eponine, I'll miss you. Maybe I should try to mend things with Cosette. Be free." Marius told her, smiling with tears in his eyes.

Eponine kissed him on the cheek and got out of the carriage. She looked at Enjolras and smiled. "Look at me, so strong I can break marble!" She said laughing.

He wrapped his strong hands around frail, delicate body, pulled her in, and whispered. "Don't you ever leave me." She laughed, leaned in and gave him the most passionate kiss he had ever given her in his life. Enjolras looked up to see Joly laughing in the window, where he smiled and vanished.

What do you think? To anyone confused Joly was never really there all along, he was sort of like a conscience for both of them, a ghost sort of and once they no longer needed him he went to rest. Idk I thought it would be a cute idea!
