A/N: Boy am I in a writing craze, this is my third update in 12 hours...

You know i realized that i never actually mentioned how Enjolras, or any of the characters really looked like or who i modeled them after and for the sake of imagination i wont really go into that (I love both Aaron and Ramin and I know either way i will crush someone's image) but as for Eponine, well in all honesty i kind of picture me in her shoes when i write this but you all dont know what i look like so lets just say its Sam Barks :D

Hope you like this

Eponine made her way home by foot on her own, Azelma was hanging out with some friends for a few hours and told Eponine that one of them would give her a ride home. Eponine didn't really mind, in fact alone time was what she needed. After escaping Marius' constant blabbing at lunch she decided to go to the auditorium after all, though the walk did hurt her, and as soon as she got there she went on the stage and sat on the piano bench. She loved music, she even taught herself how to play piano, it was of the only times she could say what she really felt and not get in trouble for it –mostly because she never shared it- and it was usually a form of comfort for her, though this time when she sat at the bench her fingers were frozen over the keys and nothing came out. After a moment though a simple pattern played through her head

"Hmm, hm, hm, hmhm hmmm hm-hm…" she hummed along, "All alone…"

Other lyrics were flooding into her head and she automatically took out her notebook to write them, before long she had a nice little poem written down, it was a happy little poem that ended with 'And all I see is him and me forever and forever…" She was fairly pleased with herself and found that her mood went up too. A little smile grew on her face and she sighed.

He may be blind but I know there is a way for us, she thought as she gathered her things and left the auditorium, completely unaware that someone was watching her.

After that she let the auditorium feeling a bit more light-hearted but it became heavy again as soon as she entered the gymnasium and sat through more of Marius' blabbing, plus today they were just sitting in the bleachers due to some locker room cleaning that was occurring so there wasn't even the distraction of an activity going on to occupy her mind or defer her attention from him. There was nothing she could do but sit there and plaster a smile on her face as he kept going on and on about the new love of his life.

"I look and I knew Eponine! It feels like she had bursted through the music of angels and something has just scarcely begun."

"That's great Marius." She supported with false encouragement.

After that class she got out of there as fast as she could and tried to make it through the rest of the day. Now she was walking home, walking provided the best option seeing as no one offered her one and she didn't ask either. She needed time for herself to think and while she didn't live far from school the walk still provided a good amount of time for herself.

It's ok, it's just a phase. He will get over it….yea right Eponine get real!

She felt her whole world had crumpled right in front of her. If it wasn't enough that her home life was a hell-hole now the only light in her life flickered off; Marius had fallen for Cosette, after just one glance at her! What hurt Eponine was not just that he had fallen for her but that one look was all it took. Cosette was nice and sweet and polite but that wasn't why he liked her, he liked her because she was well-kempt, pretty and everything Eponine realized she wasn't, that's what killed her on the inside. She had been Marius for almost three years now and for over two years she had liked him, maybe even loved, and she had hoped he would see her the same way.

I'm such an idiot! She thought, kicking a rock in her path to the fence next to her, when she felt a drop of rain fall down on her nose and run down her cheek. The slight rain felt good at first and she lifted her face to the rain hoping it would wash away but soon it started to rain harder and harder until it was pouring and she was drenched. She wrapped her arms around her body and kept going. As she walked she noticed some flowerbeds next to the sidewalk that looked a bit dry.

"At least the rain will make the flowers grow." She mumbled under her breath

She heard the rumbling of a car behind her and didn't think much of it until she realized it was slowing down then she quickened her pace. The car pulled up next to her and the window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

Enjolras looked at her with a sympathetic expression, "Need a ride?"

She shook her head, "No I'm fine." She stated as she kept on walking.

"Eponine it's raining." He called out, his car following her

"Really? I had no idea."

"Eponine…"

"What!?" she barked harshly, her nerves ticking every second

"Don't tell me you prefer getting soaked."

"A little fall of rain can hardly hurt me now."

"Come on Eponine." He persisted

"You're not going to give up are you?"

"Nope"

"Fine." She sighed and walked around the car, slipping into the passenger seat.

The car was warm compared to outside and as the hot air blew on her body and it started to stay still, she hadn't even realized she was shaking. Looking around the car she could tell it was a very expensive car and automatically she felt bad for making wet. As they drove off she bit her lip and decided to keep mum, she had her moment of weakness but she was a Thenardier and Thenardiers were strong.

Enjolras looked over her for a bit before driving off. She looked like a mess, in more ways than one. As they drove Eponine was silent and saw with her arms crossed against her chest, trying to suppress her shivering, but he could tell she was also trying to hold herself together, or maybe even hold something in. He reached back to the back seats and pulled up his red sweatshirt, handing it to Eponine, she shook her head to refuse it at first but a stern look from him and she accepted it, quickly sliding her arms into it and zipping the zipper up to her chin. Enjolras was both confused and concerned as he studied her. He could tell something was bothering her, even if she was trying to look apathetic and slightly annoyed if anything and he sensed that it had something to do with earlier at lunch.

"Eponine," he whispered cautiously, "Are you alright?"

She kept her face tense, "Just peachy."

"No you're not." He stated plainly

"What makes you the expert?" she asked coldly.

"I can tell when someone is upset."

"Oh bring out the metal." She narrowed her eyes at him, "Look I am perfectly fine and dandy ok?! There is nothing you have to concern her handsome little head over."

Enjolras groaned as his patience wore thing and pulled over next to a park. Driving and arguing with Eponine was not a safe combination. If there was one person who could hold their ground in a debate against him it was Eponine, they were both stubborn and headstrong; no doubt things would get ugly.

"You didn't seem fine when I saw you walking down the street in the rain."

"I just wanted some time to clear my head!"

"In the rain?"

"Well it wasn't raining when I started walking" she responded in irritation, getting very worked up, "and I didn't plan on it. I just had no other way to get home and I just needed time to think to myself and clear my head…to escape" she whispered the last part.

It had been loud enough for him to hear "Escape what exactly?"

"What's it to you? Look I get that you are trying to be a Good Samaritan and all but I'm really not in the mood to spill my life's sorrows, especially not to you!" she practically yelled at him.

"Fine then!" He blurted, having enough of her, and turned on the ignition and headed off.

The rest of the ride was silent except for Eponine quick direction to her house. Once they got there he noticed her stiffen from the corner of his eye and saw her eyes widen in something he had never seen in her before.

In the driveway were a handful of beat up cars and from the window he could see the silhouettes of a bunch of men in the living room.

"Something wrong?" He asked, she remained still and silent, for once Eponine Thenardier looked afraid. "Eponine! What is it?!"

"My father's gang is home." She said distantly, looking off at the house. She noticed a figure that she knew was Montparnasse and something told her he had decided against keeping mum about her treatment of him at the game. She shook her head and quickly regained her composure, "I guess I was going to have to deal with them sooner or later."

She reached down to unlatch her seatbelt but before she could she felt the car jerk backwards and speed down the street away from her house.

"What are you doing?!" she asked, gripping at the seat.

"I choose later."
