A/N: This chapter is very lyric/song based, but I just felt like writing it. :)

Chapter 19: One Day More

Jean Valjean was thinking. He knew of the revolution talk. They'd be staying away from that. The streets would be dangerous then. He was planning how to arrange their passage to England, and wondering. How had Javert found him? Had that thief told him?

One day more. Another day, another destiny. This never-ending road to calvary. These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time-one day more!

He prayed. Just one day to arrange a passage, to escape from his crimes in France. A new start for him...and for Cosette.

One Day More.

Marius walked down to Cosette's house. I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted?
He met her at the gates. Their hands touched through the bars.

"Tomorrow you'll be worlds away, and yet with you my world has started." They stared at each other. "Will we ever meet again?" He knew she was going to England. However, Éponine hadn't shown him the letter.

"I was born to be with you, and I swear I will be true!"

Then Marius heard a voice. "Your friends are expecting you at the barricade!"

Éponine was in her family's room. Alone, as her family had disappeared. Her parents were meant to be in jail but she knew her father had become free somehow. Azelma was with Jaques.

Alone, as Marius loved Cosette. She'd just separated them from eachother at Rue Plumet, calling him to the barricade.

One more day all on my own.

She was going to go to the barricade, and was disguising herself as a boy.

One more day with him not caring. She stood up, looking around the room one last time. At her dirty chemise and ragged skirt laid on the floor.

She left the room, pausing outside Marius' room in the corridor. She knew it was empty.

What a life I might have known!

If only everything was different.

But he never saw me there!

Outside cafe musain, Enjolras was gathering people. Inside, people were preparing. Guns, gunpowder, maps-red flags. Marius turned up to see everything happening.

"One more day before the storm!" Enjolras was saying.

Do I follow where she goes? Marius wondered.

"Hatch the barricades of freedom!" Enjolras was heading for the door.

Shall I join my brothers there? Should he stay and fight?

"As our ranks begin to form!" A group of peasants entered cafe musain.

Do I stay? Do I dare?

Enjolras noticed Marius. "Will you take your place with me?" He asked his friend, who'd joined their discussions.

"The time is ours! The day is here!" People could be heard from outside the cafe.

Javert was patrolling the building, full of policemen and soldiers.

"One day more 'til revolution, we will nip it in the bud! We'll be ready for these schoolboys. They will wet themselves with blood!"

Thenardier, his wife and friends were in the sewers. "Watch 'em run amuck, catch them as they fall, never know your luck when there's a free for all! Here a little dip, there a little touch, most of them are gonners, so they won't miss much!"

At Cafe Musain, they were becoming more and more ready. "One day to a new beginning!" The Students chorused. "Raise the flag of freedom high!" The people echoed. "Every man will be a king!" "Every man will be a king!" "There's a new world for the winning!" Marius walked in, and grabbed a red flag. "There's a new world to be won." "Do you hear the people sing?" Everyone chorused the last part. Marius climbed onto a table.

"My place is here! I fight with you!" He raised the red flag.

"Yes!" Gavroche punched the air.

"We will join these peoples heroes, we will follow where they go! We will know their little secrets, we will know the things they've done." Javert was still talking to the National Guard.

One more day all on my own! Eponine walked the streets. What a life I might have known! she leant outside Cafe Musain.

"Tomorrow we'll be far away!" Valjean told Cosette.

"Tomorrow is the judgement day." Javert told one of his new soldiers, who nodded.

"Tomorrow we'll discover what out God in heaven has in store!" The students chorused.

One more dawn!

One more day!

One day more!
