I think about how Augustus would feel. Ethan was so beautiful and innocent. Yet, Gus didn't get to hold him in his arms and I felt guilty about that. Augustus, of all people, deserves happiness and relief. He was - is - so amazing. He didn't deserve what he got. He deserved more numbers, but I'm grateful for what we got. I can almost imagine him here next to me-

"Hazel Grace," a voice said next to me. I looked to the left. Oh God. Augustus Ethan Waters.

"Gus..." I whispered. He smirked and took my hand. 

"Cold," he muttered.

"Not cold so much as underoxygenated," I said quietly. My hands shook. I smiled weakly which brought a fair smile from Augustus. 

"I love it when you talk medical to me," he replied, barely audible. He leaned forward and I met him half way. 

Our lips met with the force of a train speeding at full power. I was so desperate for him and I missed him so much. It felt so good to have him again. He gasped and pulled me closer. I closed my eyes and melted into him. Into the kiss. I smiled and I could tell he was smiling too. I tried to contain myself, but I, of course, could not. I tangled my fingers in his hair. He grinned even wider. I was encouraged and kissed him harder. He returned the action gladly. He grabbed my knee.

Suddenly, he was gone.

"Augustus?" I said, panicked. "Where are you? What happened?" I looked uselessly around the room. Nothing. No one. I was terrified. My heart felt like they had turned into my dead lungs. I could barely breathe.

Was I really that naive to think that he was back alive? Really? I though I was better than that. There was no way that I was like that. Was I that desperate? I knew the answer to that question. Yes. I wanted him that badly. I sighed and leaned back on my bed. Without warning, I was crying. 

I was crying for Gus and Ethan. I was crying for Isaac. I was crying for my poor parents. Most of all, I was crying for myself.
