"I think his name was...Was it, August...August... Oh I just remembered, Augutus Waters was his name!" My heart sinks into a sea of evil. I am so pissed. I stand up and slam my hands on the table.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SAY THAT?! AUGUSTUS WAS MY FUCKING BOYFRIEND! BUT NOW HE IS DEAD!" Everyone is staring.
"Hazel, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"I DONT GIVE A SHIT! WHY'D YOU EVEN COME HERE ANYWAY? TO TALK TO ME ABOUT MY DISEASE AND MY DEAD BOYFRIEND?!" I yell at her.
I calm down a little and say, "You know what? Fuck the opportunity and fuck you." And I walk out of the store and sit in my car, and cry.
Tears fill my eyes and cause blurriness. Mom calls me.
"Hazel? Hey where are you? We were thinking about going out to eat somewhere. Hello?"
"Uh, I will be home in like 5 minutes. Bye." And I hang up and start the old car that dad got me after the car accident.

On the short ride home, I think about Josh. Why hasn't he called? The thought distracts me the whole rest of the night. Even when I'm trying to sleep, I can't.

My phone rings at 12:36 AM. It reminds me of the time Augustus called, telling me to help him with his tube that was infected.
"Hazel? Hey, its Josh." His accent is so cute it hurts.
"Hey." I say it in a sleepy voice so he knows that I was sleeping.
"Sorry to call you this late. But, will you meet me at the donut store?"
