Born Again

“This man, now known as Jean Valjean, was caught on the crime scene of a woman, now known as Fantine with an unknown last name, dead in the intersection of both streets 14th and 15th. Fantine was found with a car tire mark on her right leg and bleeding head. With this we could only think that it was a car accident, but Jean Valjean is definitely the man who was driving. We can only think that because he got out of his car, and ran away after he parked not that far away from the sight. Fantine is know known for having a daughter named Cosette. She is in safekeeping with us now, so this Valjean character doesn’t get her too. We will get more information as soon as possible with the incident and why Jean Valjean did such a thing.” said the announcer on Enjolras’ television.

Enjolras then turned off his television, knowing what was going to come next. Marius wants to be like Jean Valjean, so he will find a way to do so. Enjolras didn’t want to see one of his friends in jail one day, so he tried to find his phone, to see that Eponine called him twice, and was calling again.

Enjolras was happy to see that Eponine was calling him. Enjolras answered his phone, to hear Eponine mumbling “pick up” repeatedly.

“Hello?” Enjolras said.

“Did you see the report?” Eponine said.

Their dream was to become detectives, so they watch the news every day, and hope one day that they can be what they’ve always wanted.

“Yes. I’m worried about Marius.” Enjolras said.

“I know me too. What if he wants to decide to run into someone?” Eponine asked, worriedly.

“I have no doubt he would. We have to figure out a way to stop him.” Enjolras said.

“Do you have any ideas?” Eponine asked.

“No.” Enjolras started, “But I do have a question.”

“What is it, Enjolras.” Eponine asked.

“I like you Eponine. Do you want to, maybe, go out sometime?” Enjolras asked, turning slightly red.

“You do? Of course, Enjolras. I’d like that.” Eponine said with a smile.

“Good. I’ll think about the Marius problem overnight. I’ll see you tomorrow Eponine.” Enjolras said, hanging up the phone and falling back into his bed.

Eponine looked down at her phone, smiling at the fact that Enjolras and her had a date now. Enjolras liked Eponine for a while, but Eponine liked Enjolras and a part of Marius. Marius has many different personalities, and Eponine liked one of them. When the choice came, Eponine chose Enjolras.

Enjolras laid back in his bed, thinking of how to make Marius see that this is insane. Enjolras knew that Marius thought that Jean Valjean was what life was all about, but that is insane. He didn’t know how to crack into Marius. He fell asleep, trying to think of ideas, but never came up with one.

Eponine went into bed quietly and dreamed about the future. She dreamed of her and Enjolras in a car, being detectives together. Just how they’ve always wanted it to be.
