"No!" I yelled. Hazel? Car crash. I don't believe it. It can't be possible. I never wanted any of this to happen! Why did it happen? Is she okay? Is our child okay? I want answers. I want them now. I watch an army of ambulances and fire trucks and police cars swarm the place.
The guy who crashed into her was pronounced dead. He was old. He didn't have much time left anyway. But Hazel Grace... She was cut up and bruised. Her cannula wasn't in her nostrils. That scared me the most. Without it, she couldn't breathe. Luckily, a man put it back in her nose before rushing her to the hospital.

They immediately check to see if our baby is okay. Surprisingly, he is but he's on shock. Hazel is okay beside the fact that she might die of lose of breath and blood. She's cut all over by broken glass. The impact had taken her breath away. And she didn't have enough oxygen. Not in her blood, not in her lungs. They rushed her to the emergency room immediately and went into surgery.
I pushed myself down to her hospital room and my ghost held her hand. I thought I felt her hand grip mine back. It felt good, familiar. Even though she was the one on the operating table, I was frazzled. Her skin on mine relaxed me ever so slightly. I kissed her forhead. Hazel Grace is strong. She's mine. I love her. Her family will miss her.
For three hours, doctors mill around us. Not one noticed my presence.
-----
Four hours, thirteen minutes, and six seconds later, Hazel is awake. She's still in pain. I want to take all of it and throw it away. Someone as perfect as her shouldn't have pain. I stay with her the whole time.
"Gus..." She turned to look at me. I smiled.
"Hazel Grace. Nice to see you again." I grinned.
"It's... good to see... you again." She is so sweet, so cute. I love her for that along with many other things.
"How are you?"
"Okay." She smiled.
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay, Hazel Grace. I'm grand." I smile at her again. I feel tears in my eyes. I see tears in hers.
"It hurts," she whispers. She breaks my heart. I smile sadly. "I wish... you were here. Or I was there..."
"Hey," I said. "You're gonna stay here as long you can. For Aug-"
"He's gonna be Ethan now. Your middle name. Ethan Augustus. Do you like it?"
"Of course I do. I agree with anything you decide. Except leaving this earth." She smiled. I feel the invisible, hard-to-explain string pulling me.
"Hey. I gotta go. I'm sorry. I love you." She grips my hand.
"Please don't leave me."
"I'm so sorry." I kiss her one last time and return to Somewhere.
