Disclaimer: hahahaha me own les mis? funny.

Chapter 8

"Eponine sit down, sit down! What have you been up to? How are you?" Cosette seemed overly excited to see Eponine. Eponine felt so uncomfortable in the big fancy house, with Cosette in her beautiful dress, and here was Eponine poor and dirty.

"Ummm... I'm doing okay. Things are a bit rough at home. With my father, but you remember how he was. I'm working at a cafe a mile or two down the road, making a living."

"Oh! I just realized something. Did I see you earlier today? I didn't even think about it, but it had to be you!"

"I do believe I saw you, I was with my friend Monsieur Marius." Just at the mention of Marius Cosette's eyes shined, her shoulders perked up, and you could tell half of her mind was on Marius and the other half hanging on to every work Eponine said about him.

Cosette dropped her voice to an excited whisper, "He's a friend of yours? You know him?"

"Oh yes we're very close, and Cosette, I do believe he fancies you, just between you and me."

Cosette was almost bouncing with excitement, "Eponine, really? He is so handsome. Is there a time I can meet him?"

"I'm sure Cosette, I'll talk to him later tonight and we will figure something out. "

"Thank you for everything! You really are my best friend, I have missed you so much!"

"I've missed... You... Too..."

"You know, I've lived under your father's roof before, I know how hard it is. Eponine if you and your siblings ever need a place to stay, even for only a night, you can come here."

"Thank you Cosette, I really appreciate it."

Eponine rushed up the stairs of the apartment building and knocked on the door to Marius and Enjolras's door. The ladder opened it.

"Oh Enjolras! How are you feeling? Is Marius home?"

"Much better, thank you. Yes, Marius is here, I suppose your here about the "love of his life"?"

Eponine let out a soft laugh, "I suppose you've already heard about her."

"Heard? Ask me any question about her and I could probably right a novel on just that one question," Enjolras joked, "Come in Eponine, I'll find Marius for you."

Eponine sat down in a chair in the corner of the sitting room and awaited Marius's arrival. A few seconds later Marius came bursting in with a sheepish grin on his face, clearly awaiting Eponine's arrival, "Did you talk to her Eponine?"

"I did," Eponine said simply, keeping him in suspense.

"What did she say?"

"Oh we caught up, I mean it's been several years since I've seen her."

"What did she say about me?"

Still staying smug Eponine said, "Oh you? You were brought up one of twice."

"EPONINE WHAT SPECIFICALLY DID SHE SAY ABOUT ME?"

Eponine chuckled, "She said you were very handsome and that she would like to meet you."

Marius looked like all of his dreams came true, "My soul is on fire! I may just be in love!"

"Someday I will bring you to visit with me Monsieur, but it's late, I must go home so my father does not get angry."

"I'll show you out Eponine," Enjolras said from the doorway. Eponine hadn't even noticed him there. Eponine walked towards there door when Enjolras stopped her, "What will we do with him? Love at first sight? It's madness!"

Eponine pondered this for a moment, "I don't think he's the only one here who believes in love at first sight."

Eponine opened the door headed to her own home. Eponine knew what she did was bold, calling Enjolras out on the way he had acted towards her when they first met. She could be totally wrong! But judging by the look on Enjolras's face when she said it, she was the farthest thing from wrong.

Enjolras could hardly believe what Eponine had said, but she was right. Though he wasn't as willing to admit it as Marius, he did believe in love at first sight. He was a man of stone, heart cold, unable to love, but the moment he looked Eponine in the eyes, he cracked, he melted. He not only fancied her anymore. Enjolras was in love, in love with the one and only Eponine Thenardier.

So my spring break is ending today, and I will most likely not be able to post daily on a regular basis. I'm working on making my chapters longer, and it's going to be harder for me to make time to write. I'm going to try to post a chapter as often as possible, but it won't be easy. Also, in a week or so I'm starting a local production of Les Miserables, which will make it even harder to write, depending on how long I decide to keep this story going. So review! Thanks for everything!
