Eponine's POV
My body has no feeling. I can barely hear anything over the sounds of my heart beating slower and slower. My clothes are stained red and soaked. ‘It’s raining,’ I thought, ‘I’m not dying, it’s just raining.’ I just wish it was true. I was going to die alone and so unloved.
At least it’s worth it. This doesn’t change the way Marius feels about me, but I don’t care. I would have done anything for him, especially this. I don’t know what I would have done if Marius had died instead of me. I would have most likely killed myself. I have given my life for my love and maybe someday, we’ll have our own heart full of love.
I feel someone take my hand and I turn my head to find myself staring into the enchanting green eyes of Marius. “Don’t fret, M'sieur Marius, I'm not in pain,” I say as I look into his worried eyes, “The rain can’t hurt me with you here with me; it will just let the flowers grow.” My voice sounds distant to me now and Marius’s voice seems even more distant as he speaks to me.
“’'Ponine, you will live; oh, dear god let her live.” Marius looks up to the sky and for a second, I feel abandoned. I want him to look at me so I can see him for a last time. “Just comfort me please,” I say as he focuses back on me and takes me in his arms and holds me close.
“I will stay here until you are sleeping ‘Ponine,” I hear him say, but my vision has blurred into nothingness.
“And the rain, will make the flowers…” My voice fades into a whisper. I can faintly hear Marius say something and then it all goes black.
