Gus'POV. . I stare at the blank screen. waiting impatiently for my MRI results.my heart ,pounding against my chest.seconds feel like minutes ,minutes feel like hours,until finally the screen pops to life ,illuminated.

There is a picture if my bones covered in an infinite sea of white coloured spots they seem meaningless my reaction unchanging,as i am used to it .

'Augustus' Ella, my nurse says,her broad smile infecting her speech "yes?" I say bewildered by her joy "your tumours are shrinking and if you carry on with you chemo you will be NEC soon", my whole body freezes .it takes me a while before I can respond I don't know what to say but the sudden urge to call hazel emerges so I say "cool" and roll my self away into the garden.

Hazel pick up after the third ring "Hello?"

"bonjourno hazel grace i have a large slice of news,bigger than any slice of chocolate metaphorical cake"

"Ooooooh! Sounds yummy feed meeeee!!"

"We'll as you know haze grace went for a PET scan today"

"Yes and..." She enquiries hastily

"My tumours are shrinking and they say that I will be NEC soon"

The line goes silent until

"AHHHHHH!!!! I love you so much gus "

"We'll I have to tell Isaac so i Gotta go okay?"

"Okay."
