Chapter 2

Sometimes, when things don't end up right, or someone's really mad, they shut themselves out from the rest of the world. They try to forget about everything by covering it up with something else.

Grantaire loved Enjorlas with all of his heart. He knew that no matter what he did, he wouldn't be able to be with him. Grantaire walked into Cafe Musain and filled up his bottle with wine. He thought that drinking all of the time would help, but it didn't.

••••••

That morning, Enjolras and Eponine arrived at Musain after their long walk.

At first, Grantaire didn't notice them because he was too busy focussing on his drink. But when he turned around, he spied the couple laughing together.

Something inside of Grantaire started acting up. He felt sick with jealously. He couldn't keep his eyes off the two.

"Why can't I be her? Why doesn't he notice me?" He thought.

As Grantaire got up to leave, he tripped over his empty chair and landed right on top of Enjolras, who was about to leave with Eponine.

Embarrassed with his face turning red, Grantaire quickly jumped up and sprinted out of the cafe without saying a word.
