While reading this listen to Begin Again by Taylor swift!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I loose my balance and see nothing but black. I'm not sure if I'm hallucinating. I feel a swarm of people gathered around me. I open my eyes and see medics circling around me. Then I look up and see the boy. I really wish I didn't see him.

As my eyes flutter open i see we are in the hospital. My Phillip was unplugged earlier when I tripped. I see my parents and Gus' parents. I feel a rush of pain come over me. I look to my mom and she says                                                                                                                                                           "Hazel, There's a boy here to see you." I take a deep breath and nod, signaling for the boy to come in. The parents exit, giving me some privacy. I see his dark brown hair and his bright, alive green eyes. He enters saying                                                                                                                                     "Hey! I came to make sure you were okay. How are you doing?" I then say                                          "I'm fine, okay. My stupid oxygen tank got unhooked," I say this with some edge to my voice.                   "Okay. Well, my name's Grayson. Let me know if you need anything." He says with a bit of irritation to his voice. "Well I don't need anything from you or your family," I said almost in a full shout.                  "Okay," was all he manages to say. I haven't talked to a boy my age (with the exception of Isacc) since he left me. Curiosity took over irritation                                                                                                  "So why are you in therapy?" I asked.                                                                                                                     "My best friend just died. My other friend put me under stress when he was in Surgery, and you?" I believe we have a right to be secretive and personal, my everything some how thinks they have the right to pick through my brain no matter what. When do people start realizing I don't want to be tied to a rope any longer?                                                                                                                                            "My friend..............left me." I say this as he did it, with purpose. I know it's not his fault but I'm still furious.                                                                                                                                                             "Yeah, I know how it feels." Yeah. I answer in my head. After an odd silence he says                            "Okay, well I just wanted to see if you were okay." Okay.                                                                                      "Can you leave before I start questioning your intentions?" He scoffed and looked at me and said "See ya soon" as if I were joking. I'm going to make sure he understands what I will do to him.  "Wait!!" I scream. he turns and looks at me. At that second, Isacc runs in the door to see me. I guess I've gone viral. they exchange glances ( Well they would have) and Grayson breaks into a smile and gives Isacc a high five. Surprisingly, Isacc doesn't miss Grayson's hand even with the fact he was blind. At least I think they would have if Isacc were not blind. I stared at the two. I solved the mystery, my brain made the connection. I sat there with my eyes wide. They looked at me with concern. Well, at least Grayson did.

Now I know.

His friend is Augustus.

Or should I say was.
