Without You

Shock

My mom and dad drive me to a doctor's appointment. A few days ago, I threw up, so my parents freaked out and got me an appointment as soon as they could. I'm feeling better, but my parents wouldn't listen.

As soon as we got there, Mom rushed inside, cluthing my arm tightly. "Hazel Grace Lancastor is here for an appointment" She speaks quickly.

As soon as we get a room, I sit on the hospital bed. In a few minutes my doctor, Maria, Asks me some questions.

She then gives me a small stick like thing and tells me to pee on it.

I look at my parents, then at Dr. Maria.

"Alright"

----

After taking the test, Dr. Maria said she would see the results, and be back in a few minutes.

In about five minutes, Maria comes back with a huge grin. "The results have been confirmed." She pauses, then speaks again.

"Hazel, You are one month pregnant"

I gasp and my mother starts to cry.

"Oh, Hazel..." Cries father.

I start to speak, but stop myself. I don't know what to even say.

It suddenly hits me, Augustus is the father.

Gus and I did it back in Amsterdam.

"You will have to be careful carrying this baby with cancer, Hazel" says Dr. Maria, after a long silence.

Dr Maria gives me some tips for a few minutes.

What will I do?

------

When we get home, Dad speaks sternly at me.

"You can't keep this baby, Hazel."

That's when all hell breaks loose.

"what!?!" I scream.

Dad stares at me . "I think its the best for your child."

"You don't get to choose for me!" I don't remember the last time I had fought with my dad. "This is Augustus and I's baby!"

Dads face turns red as he yells back at me. " Hazel Grace Lancastor, You are too young to care for a child. We must put it up for adoption!"

"This is my baby, and my life!" I scream and run to my bedroom.

I lock the door and open my window.

I look up to the stars.

"Oh, Gus..." I cry.

"What am I going to do?"
