5th June 1832

I was standing in the chapel in my white wedding dress. It was rushed, I knew it. But he wanted to, so I agreed. No one was here and I was disappointed. I had invited Enjolras. He hasn't come.

"So my love, let's get married.", he said. "But no one is here yet. I want to wait for Eponine and Gavroche. They're my family." "I will be your new family." "I'll wait.", I said. I studied him. He looked nervous, he was always looking at his small pocket watch.

"I am going to get Eponine so we can start." "Do that my dear.", he said.

●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬●

I knocked on the familiar door. Eponine opened the door, she was dressed like a boy. "Clara, what are you wearing?" "I am getting married. I wanted to get you and Gavroche." "I can't. The Revolution is going to start today.", she exclaimed.

"Also, I think you shouldn't marry him. He's a spy. He's trying to destroy us, you included. He's the Prince.", she said, "if I was you, I'd leave him. But I can't control your life. No matter what you do, I know it will have a good outcome." Then she ran away.

I rushed back to the chapel. I was going to confront him. "There you are. I was looking for you." "I want to meet your parents.", I said. "My parents?" "Yes." "Why?" "Because I want to look them in the face and tell them that their son is a disappointment and a liar. Or should I be more specific, your highness?", I said.

He was speechless. "Why did you play with me like that? You made me believe you love me. All you did was use me." "It's too late my dear, you have destroyed your friends already. They are weak and stand no chance." "We will see. My friends fight like 10 armies.", I turned around, "oh and before I forget, my friends and I, we will turn France into a Republic and your family will be erased."

I ran. I was running straight to Café Musain. Once I came closer, a majestic barricade filled the street. I was amazed. And I felt very proud. I walked closer. Courfeyrac looked at me. "Clara, what are you doing here?" "I thought you might need some help. Besides, I cannot let have the guys all the fun.", I said with a smile. He flashed me a big smile and helped me over the barricade.

The boys surrounded me. "I have bad news. We had a spy. And he knows our plans." The boys gasped. "We're lost.", Jehan cried. "We're not. We're not going to give up fighting. We will fight with all our strength and most importantly, we will fight for every man and woman in France."

The boys applauded, Enjolras included. He looked proud. Eponine ran towards me and hugged me tightly. "I knew you'd make the right decision.", she whispered. Enjolras tapped my shoulder. I let go of Eponine and followed him. "You shouldn't wear this beautiful dress now. Wear this instead.", he said, handing me his clothes. "Thank you."

"Welcome back. We missed you." "I missed you guys too. I was a fool for believing him." "You're blind when you're in love. I know that way too well. I fell in love with a girl that doesn't love me anymore.", he said. "Who said she stopped?", I asked, pulling him closer and kissing him.

It felt right. More than just right. When I kissed Gabriel, it didn't feel normal. But when I kissed Enjolras, I felt like my world disappeared, because he turned into my world. "ENJOLRAS, THEY ARE COMING!", Combeferre yelled.

"We should get ready for the fight my love. But I'd prefer if you stayed here." "I won't. I will fight alongside you.", I said. He just nodded and left. I quickly dressed into his clothes and went to the barricade.

●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬●

Shot upon Shot. Then it came to an end. I looked to the ground and saw Eponine. I ran to her, but was stopped by Courfeyrac. Eponine was dying in Marius' arms. "And rain, will make the flowers...", she silently sang. Then she expired. Courfeyrac let go off me and I ran up to her.

I held her close, tried to find a heartbeat. Nothing. "Eponine, NO NO NO NOOO.", I screamed, "please don't do this to me." Enjolras held me tightly. I sobbed into his shoulder. Combeferre took her corpse inside. With Eponine, a part of me has died.

(a/n: yay Revolution and Gabriel is a dick, 🎉
