Who's Afraid of Thunder

Part 5

Eponine POV

At noon, Enjy and I walked in to see a bunch of people gathered in a circle on the top floor of the ABC cafe, including Cobeferre, Lesgle, Jean Prouvaire, Feuilly, Bahorel, Courfeyrac rubbing his hands together and looking nervous, Gavroche sitting at a table eager to watch the fight, and Joly with his medical supplies, which worried me even more. Cosette looked nervous and was holding Marius, telling him not to do this. When Cosette saw me, she rushed over while Enjolras went to go talk to Joly. "Eponine! I am so sorry! I feel horrible! I-I don't know what to say!" "Then make no sound. It's okay, Cosette. I don't blame you, and Enjolras and I made up". Cosette beamed, "Marius and I made up too, and I've been trying to get him to not fight Enjolras but--" "I know. There's nothing we can do about it". Combeferre got up and explained the rules. Marius looked mad and Enjolras looked nervous. Enjy said he wasn't going to fight back and I was afraid he was going to get hurt. Out of everyone, I think Cosette was the most nervous. She wanted to look away but she couldn't. Combeferre yelled for them to go and Marius punched Enjolras in the stomach and Enjy stumbled back a little. Marius punched Enjolras in the face and Enjolras' nose was bleeding. I couldn't watch. This was horrible. "You know," Enjolras said through the pain, "You don't have to take your anger out on a friend if your girlfriend doesn't love you anymore". Marius was angry. He grabbed a shotgun from a table and aimed at Enjolras.

Marius fired at Enjolras and Enjolras fell to the ground. Cosette let out a loud scream and I rushed over to his side. He was alive, thank god. Joly came over with his medical supplies. There was a bullet in Enjy's shoulder. Joly took out his tools and started to remove it. I held Enjy's hand. Cosette rushed over to Marius, who dropped the gun. In a matter of seconds, everyone rushed over to Enjolras' side. I looked behind me, Marius was on his knees with his hands on his head. Cosette was yelling at him but Marius showed no reaction. He was paralyzed. A few seconds later, I saw Marius push trough the small crowd to Enjolras. Joly was sewing him up. "Enjolras, I am so sorry, I don't know what got over me". "No, Marius, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. Besides, I'll be fine". "Look, I don't know what happened. I was just mad. Friends?" Enjolras smiled up at Marius, "friends.".

HOW THINGS TURNED OUT 5 YEARS LATER:

Enjolras and Eponine got married and Eponine is pregnant with a baby girl (who will turn out to have Enjolras' curly blonde hair and Eponine's tough personality). Marius and Cosette get married and have a 3 year old son, Marius JR (looks like a little Marius and Cosette's sweetness [and good voice]). Marius JR and Eponine's kid fall in love and end up together UNITING the four bffs<3
