Red and Black (Les Mis fanfic)

Chapter 2

Enjolras thought that Anna , with her mega energy is the best person to gather people personally. He gave her the names and she was spending time talking to them, and , mostly, they signed up. She liked what she did. After all, all she had to do was to talk to people - her favourite thing.

Except that , Anna soon became the heart of the café. She was the one to talk the most, laugh the most, and eat the most. As a drinker, she was no worse than the others, but she was eating all that she could. And she was good in taking food from anywhere - if she couldn't steal food, she could make the people give it away.

Anna and Éponine became very good friends soon. Anna knew her friend was deeply in love with her cousin - Marius . But he was so stupid! He didn't even notice her! Anna was so angry with him....

The girl was living in the café. She was sleeping in a small room on the second floor. Enjolras had an apartment , but he usually was sleeping there too, because he was staying very late.

So, one day, as Anna was walking in the streets pointlessly, because she had done her job for the day, she saw them. Her parents. The girl panicked. She walked normally,until they were out of sight, and she ran. She knew they were going to look in the cafe , so she had to warn her friends. She had already told them her story, but she had to be sure. She had to!

She ran into the café. There was nobody, except Enjolras.

"Enjolras! You must help me!!! You have to! Please!!!" Anna said panicky.

"Anna, calm down." He had sensed her panic. "What happened?"

"My....m-my parents are here! They are looking for me!"

She suddenly shivered and pointed behind his back. Her parents were coming!

"Upstairs! Take your stuff , quickly! " Enjolras kept his coolness.

Anna took her stuff.

"The window, now!" Enjolras commanded.

They both jumped out.

"Come!" he took her hand and they started running. They ran , about 15 minutes, and stopped in front of a tall building.

"This is my place." Enjolras said "The top floor."

They went inside breathless, climbed the stairs and he invited her inside.

"You stay here, and I am going to tell your parents, there is no Anna." He said.

"Thanks." Was all the girl managed to say.

"I'll be back soon" he said and left.

Anna looked around. The apartment was actually one room with a small fireplace, a bed, a table and a chair, and a massive cupboard. She sat next to the window and wondered how Enjolras could possibly be so generous. He knew her from about a week and he helped her just like that.... She again though how nice is he, how good and how pretty....

"Get yourself together Anna!" she said to herself.

Soon Enjolras came back.

"What happened?" Anna asked.

"Your parents asked me if you were here, because they knew that Marius is there" he started explaining. "And I ,of course said I've never known any Anna in my life. They described you , but with long hair and I repeated I've never seen anyone unlike that. And they left. But yet I don't think they were completely convinced."

"Well, wasn't much talking, thought...." Anna said when he finished.

Enjolras chuckled.

"What?!" Anna exclaimed.

"What what?"

"Did you just.... Chuckle?"

"Maybe..." he laughed.

"And now you laugh?! Who are you and what have you done with the serious revolution leader Enjolras?!" she mimicked his serious face.

"I don't look like that!" Enjolras rejected.

"You do, you do...."

They both laughed.

"You'd better stay here for a few days." Enjolras said.

"No, don't worry, I don't want to make any more trouble to you..." Anna started.

"Don't worry, be my guest."

" Well , thank you!" Anna agreed and hugged him.

They both slept in the bed and for a long time they couldn't fall asleep.

While Anna was thinking :

"I can't be falling in love. I can't be falling in love. I can't be falling in love . Especially not with someone that only loves his country and the revolution! No!"

Enjolras though :

"Do I really love only France' freedom? My heart is beating so loud when I go near this girl... No I can't.... Did she just.... Broke me? No I don't only love my country and it's freedom... I love this girl too. But does she love me?"

And they thoughts both stopped on this question - "Does he/she love me too?", before they fell into an uneasy sleep...
