The Fault In Our Stars: After Augustus

CHAPTER 2

I go back to my car and sit there for a moment. And then they come,rushing out my eyes,the tears. I literally break down. I don't even know when or how the years just came,but they did. I'm really missing Gus now. I go to the nearest grocery store, grab a bottle of champagne and some sandwiches and drive to funky bones. I cry throughout the way and cry even more when I reach there. There are too many memories attached to this place, I start to think. I eat my sandwiches and take the champagne with me and drive to Augustus's grave. I take the champagne with me, go to his grave and sit there. I pour the champagne into 2 paper cups. "It's been 2 years Gus. 2 years since you went away. You know I really miss you, don't you?" I wait, as if an answer will come, but there is no sound. I let out a breath and take a sip of my champagne. " So Gus, how are you? Well most of all, where are you?" I start crying as soon as the words leave my mouth. " You're probably in a better place than I am." I say and finish the glass of champagne. I sit there for a little while, thinking about everything that's happened between the two years. So many changes have taken place. My cancer is gone, I've started school and read an imperial affection a thousand times, even though that is not a change but still. If Gus was here, we would've celebrated this but it's just me now. I drive back home and sleep the night and the next day off

"Ughhhh Mondays!" I say as I wake up on Monday morning for school. I take a shower and get ready while my mom puts cereal

"So honey, how have you been? You literally slept the weekend away!" My mom says.

"uhh ya well I did but you should see that I don't have anything else to do." I say and hope my mother stays shut.

"ya.....anyway, now go get ready!"
