"Hazel grace" he answers after the third ring. "Hey" I say. "That's all you can say after I just read your book, a measly "hey" oh hazel grace that simply won't do." "So you finished it?" I asked. "Finished it? I've re-read that thing twice now trying to figure out how you could have given me a faulty copy" he says. "Faulty copy?" what does this boy mean. "Yes for some unknown reason you decided to give me the copy you have that's missing the last chapter." "Augustus" I say laughing" "What?" he says. "That's how the book ends" I say as I almost cry laughing. "WHAT?" he exclaims. That's when I hear wailing on Augustus's line. "Augustus are you okay?" I ask. "Me? I'm grand, I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up my friend" he exclaims but I still hear crying on the other end. "Then who's crying?" I ask him because I simply can differ any more if it's secretly him or one of his friends. "That would be Isaac" he says and now it clicks. I knew the wailing wasn't him but I also knew that nobody should ever being crying that loud and that hard. It's unhealthy, More or less unnatural. "Um is he okay?" I ask. "Not really but you should see for yourself" he says then I can hear him yelling to Isaac. "Isaac would support group hazel make this better or worse, Isaac focus on me, Isaac focus" I hear him say. I also don't hear an answer from Isaac which is kind of concerning me. "Hazel Grace do you think you could find yourself at my house say in twenty minutes?" he asks. "I guess so". "Grand I'll see you then" he says then the line goes dead.So I get off my porch and start to get ready. I go to my room and decided that I'm going to try to look nice for Isaac. I like a girl who can say you know what my friend is having a mental break down and violently sobbing but gosh darn it I'm going to wear a dress. So I put on a yellow dress. It goes just past the knees and makes me look fuller. I put on a light coat of makeup and grab my mom's car keys from the keys dish. I get into the car and head to Augustus's house. I get there in 15 minutes because I may or may not have been speeding but that doesn't matter. I knock on the door and Augustus dad answers. "Hello Hazel" Mr. Waters says before I hear another sob from the basement.

"Mrs. Waters she uh had to take a drive the noise was a bit to much" he says and Isaac yells again. Mr. Waters rubs is temples. "They're downs stairs" he says. "Thanks" I nod and head down the stairs. I see Augustus and Isaac sitting in gaming chairs staring at the TV. They seem to be playing a video game and Isaac seems to be sucking at it. I'm not to perceptive in the video game world but I can tell because Isaacs side of the split screen keeps Turing all red with human organs and he TV saying game over, raptly. Finally Augustus noticed me standing by his unmade bed. "Hazel Grace" he says still concentrating on the screen. "Augustus Waters" I answer back. He pauses his side of the screen and looks at me.

"Hazel Grace you look stunning" he says. "I only wish Isaac would look at me to see how beautiful I look" I say putting emphasis on the beautiful part. He wails again. "Isaac and his girlfriend are no longer an item" he says. I have seen Isaacs girl friend precisely once in the time that I've known him. She was way out of his league but they seemed happy. I remember seeing them after support group. They were on the side of the church practically sucking each other's faces off. They also kept mumbling always to each other which I never really got. They seemed happy though. Really genuinely happy to be together. I guess something erupted in the relationship though because Isaac was sitting here making inhuman sounds. "Isaac you want to talk about it" I say as I walk toward him and lean by him just so that he could see my face and the TV screen.

"He hasn't talked in two hours" Augustus says finally pausing the game. Isaac groans and leans back in his chair. "She said she couldn't handle it" Isaac says. "She couldn't handle the promise of always" he tears up again. No offense to him but I have never seen a man cry so much over a breakup. Not even in the over dramatic soap operas they make. "She was supposed to keep that promise don't you think hazel if it was true love shouldn't she have kept that promise" he says. "Actually I don't really believe in true love. He looks astounded by my answer. "Well I do and I believe that it should at least last as long as you life does and after the story should die with you" he says and that's when he gets up and starts kicking the gaming chair. I move out of the ways and over by Augustus who has moved onto his bed. "Good Isaac right kick the shit out the chair" he says and Isaac does.

Then Isaac grabs a pillow and starts screaming into it and punching it with a ferocity that even scares me a bit. That's when Augustus intervenes. "Dude you've gotta break something pillows don't break" Augustus says and hands Isaac a basketball trophy. "I've been meaning to tell my dad I hate basketball and I guess now's just as good as whenever" and then he nods to Isaac telling him to break the trophy. And break it he does. "Now that book" he says finally turning to me. "Welcome to the torture of reading An Imperial Affliction" I say. "You know there is an unwritten agreement between author and reader on how to end a book and not really giving us an end is kinda violating that contract" he says. "I know right I mean I get it Anna dies or whatever but it would be nice to know was happens to everyone else and yeah" I say realizing that he is not really listening. "Hold on" he says. He walks over to Isaac who is now sitting in a pile of basket ball trophy shrapnel. Augustus pulls him up and he sits by me wiping his tears. "Better?" Augustus asks. "No" Isaac answers. "That's the thing about pain" Augustus tells Isaac but is staring at me "it demands to be felt."
