I lie in bed sobbing into my pillow when i feel something under it. I pull it out and it is a blue envelope with my name written in cursive on the front. I tear it open and read...
My Dear, Hazel Grace
I miss you so very much. I never wanted to leave you. You were the star-crossed love of my life and i love you so very much. It kills me to say this but you need to move on. Isaac has had this major crush on you for awhile... That is the reason i even came to Support Group with him was to help him talk with you. I ended up falling in love with you. Even though he is blind he knows how beautiful you are... i think you should give him a call and ask if he wants to see a movie. okay, i'm just kidding! See if he wants to hang out. I think you guys will be a great couple.
See you up here!
-Augustus
Ps: Okay?
With tears running down my face i struggle to say it but i manage to spit it out... "Okay." i grab my phone from my nightstand and look at the time. it is 11am. I have support group from 5pm to 6pm. This is my chance to ask Isaac out. I think i should give him a chance. He is blind and i feel bad for him. Plus he isn't bad looking. I quietly laugh at myself and climb out of bed and hooks up to Philip and walk to the kitchen to make breakfast. I grab the bread from the bread box and toss it into the toaster with a big smile on my face. "Well someone looks happy today! What changed your mood?" my mom says with a giggle. "I found a letter from Augustus under my pillow." i say with a happy tone in my voice. "that is amazing! what did it say? can i see it?" she says so fast i can barley hear her. "Maybe later. I'm going to the bookstore to find a new book to read" "Okay. Be safe and don't be late for support group!" she shouts as i quickly walk to my car. "Trust me! I won't!" I climb into my car with Philip at my side and start the ignition and pull out of the driveway. 12 Blocks away is the Book Store. My favorite place in this city. I park the car and walk in and go straight to the 'Young Adult' section to pick out a book or two to pass time till i have to go to support group. I pick out the third book to the hunger games trilogy 'Mockingjay' and the first book to a series called 'The Maze Runner'. I go to the check out and pay for the books and go to my car. I start the car and drive to the mall. My favorite spot to read is the bench by the malls fountain. It is very calming and soothing. I pull out Mockingjay and begin reading.

I am now on chapter 22 and it is 4:45pm so i pack up my stuff and walk to my car and drive to support group. I walk up and i see Isaac. I get a big smile on my face even though he can't see it. "Hey Isaac! Its Hazel."
