*Eponine burst into the door of the apartment, sobbing and plunking down on the couch next to the massive white bear which had lived there for the last 4 years. She shoved it out of the way, wishing it would just dissapear. She sat crying loudly, her elbows on her knees and her face in her hands.*
I shouldn't have excpected anything... he was never going to love 'Ponine, 'Ponine was just his friend. 'Ponine was there to help. Ponine was disgusting and revolting, she had a baby with a man she didn't love.
*Thoughts raced through her mind, over and over again, and she was unable to stop them. She heard the lock click, and Aimee was standing in the door, home from school.*
"Maman?" *Aimee said, cocking her head and seting down her schoolbag.* "Are you alright? Why is Ourson on the ground?"
*Eponine looked up.* "Maman is fine, love."
*Aimee frowned.* "But Maman, you're crying. Someone made you sad." *She said, hopping into Eponine's lap.*
*Eponine put her hand on Aimee's little cheek and kissed her on the forehead.* "I'm fine, just a little shaken, is all."
*Aimee put her little arms around Eponine's neck.* "Where's Uncle Marius? You're always happy when he comes over."
*Eponine blanched, halfheartedly patting Aimee on the back.* "We may not see Uncle Marius for a long time." *She said quietly, squeezing Aimee tight.*

*Renn wandered back from the studio, singing showtunes, (Cabaret, this time,) and carrying apples that she'd bought from a stand on the way home. Seeing the state of her roomate, she put them on the counter and hurried over.*
What could it possibly be now?
"What's wrong?"

**EPPY**
*Eponine sighed.*
"Just Marius." *She sniffled.* "Like always."
*She picked Aimee off her lap and motioned for her to go someplace.* "Be a good girl and run off to your room, love." *Aimee complied, so that she could go read another of auntie Renn's books.*
*Eponine turned to Renn.*
"He's fallen in love again."

*Renn smiled and waved to Aimee as she ran off, and turned to Eponine with a sigh.*
"You need a proper boyfriend."
*She considered grabbing Eponine by the wrist and dragging her to the nearest singles bar to stop her moping.*

*Eponine sighed.*
"I just should have known, you know? I've been in love with him since I was seventeen, and you've got to notice. If anything was going to happen, it would have happened a while ago."
*She shook her head.*
"I seriously need to get out more."

*Renn laughed sympathetically, and put her arm around her friend.*
"You're too good for him anyway. 'Cmon, let's drop the kid off at a daycare and go do something. I'll see if I have a stu/can make a stu who'd be worth your time.

*She nodded.* "I think I need to, if only to get a hold of some rum. Let me change."
*She hurried to her room to change, and brought out Aimee.*
"Shall we?"

*Renn grinned and stood up, not caring that her shirt was grubby and stained with paint. She honestly couldn't be bothered.*
"Where to then?"

*Just then, Eponine frowned.*
"Well, maybe I shouldn't. I haven't spent the night with Aimee in a long time--I was at work too much."

"Mmm, okay then. If you insist." *She checked her reflection in the mirror, decided that she did need to change, and turned back to Eponine.*
"I'm still in the mood to go out."
*She dashed into her room, threw on something passable, and did makeup as fast as humanly possible.*
"I'll be back around... sometime. You sure you don't want to come?"

*Aimee was playing with her dolls quietly, waiting for maman to fix her dinner, when she heard a loud crash and a scream. Aimee blanched.*
"Maman?" *She called, running to the kitchen, her doll in hand, in her nightgown. She screamed.*
"MAMAN!" *Maman was on the floor, a stool next to the highest shelf, and maman was bleeding from her head and leg. She had fallen! Aimee rushed to her side.*
"Maman?" *She asked, tears threatening to spil down her face.* "Maman, are you alright?"
*Eponine groaned.* "Get help..." *She whispered, before passing out. Aimee whimpered and kissed her mother on her forehead, where it was bleeding, hoping to make the boo-boo feel better. She then ran out the door, doll still in hand, to the opera, to find help.*
