I woke up with 15 text messages and 9 missed calls.
I looked who it was from.

Leslie. Of course.

I read the messages:

Leslie's right. I don't want this to ruin our friendship.

I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hi Hazel?" Leslie said quickly.

"Yeah it's me." I said.

"Hazel please forgive me." She cried.

"Your right. I don't want to ruin our friendship so I forgive you." I said.

"Hazel! Thank you so much." She wailed.

"I shouldnt have reacted that bad in the first place." I said.

"Hey I got to go but we will talk later okay?" Leslie said.

"Okay bye Les!" I said before hitting the end button.

It felt good to have Leslie back because she is my best friend and I don't want to loose her over something so stupid.

I sat down on my couch and went through my old pictures on my phone. I found one of Gus and I, it was a picture we took in Amsterdam. That was such a fun trip, I smiled at the thought of it.

"I miss you so much." I said letting a tear roll down my cheek.

"I should've died, not you." Now my eyes were bursting with tears.

Then I heard a knock at my door. I quickly brushed away the tears and pushed down on the door handle. It was Jake.

"Hi Jake." I said trying to hold back my tears.

"Hazel are you okay?" He said.

Just as he pronounced the last letter of his sentence I reached for him and he hugged me. I wasn't holding my tears back anymore.

"It's Gus isn't it." Jake said.

"Yes..." I said sobbing into his shirt. " I should've died not him!" I whined.

"Hey! Don't say that....you didn't even have cancer, he had no choice." He said.

"Wait. Gus didn't tell you?" I said lifting my head from his shoulder.

"Tell me what?" Jake said.

At that moment I realized all Jake had known about me probably wasn't true.
