My name is Augustus Waters and this is my story.
It all started when I was 6 years old. I was a happy kid, oh lord please tell me what happened? My mom was in a car accident and I was in the back seat. I was severley injured and had my leg removed and it was replaced with a wooden fake. My mom unfortunately didn't make it, and my leg kept me from doing all the things I wanted to do. My dad, I love him but it's hard to tell if he cares. He pays my hospital bills and all that, but ever since mom has passed away he's had a blank mind.
I don't have many friends. I've never really been a social person. My only friend is Issac and he's going blind and it's been me taking care of him. I can't just throw all my problems at him.
My life is anything but ordinary yet boring. Everyday is the same for me. I wake up, I go to school ,and I push through the dreadful day without killing myself. I go home with Issac ,and my house is on the street next to him. Go home,eat dinner, go to sleep. Of course these are only the days where my illness isn't bothering me.
The worst torture in the world:waiting. Waiting for something good to happen
when nothing is coming your way.This has always been the same for me. It had never changed and I thought it was impossible that it could change.Until Hazel Grace walked into my life.
