I'm SO SO SO sorry it has taken me this long to get this chapter out, and I feel even worse because it is a total filler chapter. I've had it written for a while, but haven't had a chance to post it, plus I try to have a few chapters prepared and so on. Please forgive me for this short chapter, I should have another posted tomorrow. I know this isn't my best, but I needed it to make the rest of the story work.

Chapter 9

As Eponine entered her bedroom after the crazy day, between Cosette, Marius, and Enjolras, she found her siblings, not sleeping, but anxiously awaiting her arrival, "Azelma, Gavroche, why are you still awake? You should be asleep, what if Mama and father find you?"

"They are not home. They went on a business trip," Azelma explained.

"And left you home alone?"

"They've been gone for two days, not that you would notice," Gavroche said, clearly angry.

"What are you talking about Roche?"

Azelma spoke,"What he's saying is you are to busy with your friends to worry about us."

"I come home the same time after work!" Eponine defended herself.

"No you don't, after work you stay there, listening to their speeches, and giggle with all the boys!"

"How do you even know that Azelma?" Eponine asked, trying not to admit that it's true.

"I told her!" Gavroche stood up, releasing the anger he's been holding in, "I've been following you Eponine because the last time I've seen you was weeks ago! We could've all left and moved away and you wouldn't have noticed!"

"Well I would have noticed you missing..."

"That's not what I'm talking about 'Ponine. If I asked you what was going on in my life would you even know?" Gavroche was so angry he couldn't contain himself.

"Eponine, I'm not say we want to be your first priority, but we're not even a priority anymore," Azelma said trying to at least break the tension.

"I'm so sorry you two, I didn't even know. Forgive me, if you can, Gav, if you want to join me in the cafe, you may. Azelma, you too. I forgot how much family was supposed to mean."

"She was so beautiful though Enjolras! Her eyes were like diamonds!" Marius said as a fell back on the bed.

"I'm sure, this is the 100th time you've told me," Enjolras than added under his breath,"why, out of all the friends I have, did I choose to live with you?"

Of course Marius was completely oblivious, in his own little world, "I'm in love! In love I say!"

Enjolras finally decided to tell Marius to spit it out, "Marius, you're not the only one in love here."

Marius sat up, his attention caught, "Who are you talking about Enjolras? Is there someone here I don't know about?"

"Yes Marius, it's my invisible friend, over in that corner," Enjolras said sarcastically, "who do you think I'm talking about?"

"Well it couldn't be you. You don't love anything. Except France. And maybe your own mother, maybe."

"It is me. And I do love someone else."

"Who?" Marius was still unsure, "who could you possible love? Do you even talk to any females?"

"One, I'm close with one."

And at that moment it hit Marius. He knew exactly who Enjolras was in love with. His friend who had no feelings, finally was forced to feel.

Okay guys that's it. I have a quick question for any of you who would know an answer. What are some common Cosette-ships other than Cosette and Marius and Cosette and Eponine? I just wondered for reference, not for the story. Thanks for reading.
