The boys remained silent at the table after Enjolras stormed off.

Eponine hid her face obviously knowing what the boys were taunting Enj about. They all turned and looked at her; she could feel her face turn red.

Eponine couldn't help but they the words over and over again in her head. "Once there... Once there... Once there..." Thoughts were reeling through her mind "What did he mean by once there? He doesn't care for me anymore? Did he just say it to make them stop?" She looked up once more and saw them staring still-seeming as if they were waiting her to speak up.

It was true, because next Joly went "Uh, Ep, any comment..?"

Eponine did have a comment, and it wasn't going to be a sweet one. The room was still silent when Eponine stood up and rushed over to their group.

"You bastards!" she yelled, "How dare any of you make fun of him for having feelings and-and emotions! Most of you are as sensitive as my bipolar grandmother, so for you to ridicule him for finally saying how he feels is absolute bullshit!"

She stood there still, scolding them with a cold, hard stare- her hand in fists at her sides. "And to ask my opinion? What kind of friends would do that?"

She then shot a deathly look at Grantaire, and said " But for you to hear what was said and what happened then turn around and go tell everyone else- that's the cruelest part of all of this."

Grantaire stared into his wine glass- feeling incredibly horrible.

"I hope you told every one that you tried laying with him that night, too."

Grantaire looked up, his cheeks a fierce red- his jaw dropped. The boys around him looked at him, and Eponine left.

She had to admit to herself, what she just did to Grantaire was horribly rude, but her anger made it so she couldn't contain what she wanted to say or do.

Immediately, Cosette grabbed Eponine's bag, instructed Courfeyrac to get Gav on his way out, and followed after her, knowing she may need some sort of comfort. Courfeyrac was starting out the stairs, Gavroche following, when he stopped at the other boys.

"You guys really upset Ep. She was already sad, and you just made her feel worse. Why would you guys do that? To her and Enj?"

Gavroche's voice was calm- it sounded as if he were genuinely curious as to why they felt the need to upset their friends- and to be honest, they were curious about the reason as well.

"We didn't mean to upset her like that, Gav,"

Combeferre started.

"We just started teasing Enjolras, but neither of them liked it.

Gavroche gave a frown to them when Courfeyrac called him from the stairs.

"Come on, Gav. Cosette wants me to bring you home with me." Gavroche walked over to the stairs and left with Courf.

Eponine was still so worried now. Courfeyrac would have to know what happened by now, and if he didn't then he would have to be curious, right? The thing that bothered her the most was why he didn't say anything about it.
