Hazel Grace's POV
Augustus Waters nearly died 8 days after his prefuneral. His doctors said he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer, but his heart just wouldn't stop beating, and his lungs kept struggling for air and wouldn't give up. His doctors decided to try on final treatment on him.
Phalaxifor.
The treatment my doctors tried on me right as I was about to die.
The drug worked almost immediately, and the cancer started to go away. The drug worked better for Gus than it did for me. It was a miracle. I guess our little infinity was bigger than I thought. We could be together for so much longer. I felt like the cancer in us was nothing more than a chip of paint on a car. Sure it's not perfect, but it's not so easy to keep a car's paint in perfect condition.
Gus was out of the hospital in a month because Phalaxifor worked so well on him. He wasn't back to himself quite yet, but he was here, and he was my beautiful Gus.
So against all odds, this infinity turns out to bigger than I thought.
Gus' POV
The first face I saw when I woke up was the smiling, tear-soaked face of the star-crossed love of my life, Hazel Grace. She kissed my over and over and after a while, scolded me for almost leaving her.
How can this be? I thought. I still felt like crap. I then knew how Hazel Grace felt about her crap lungs, except I had crap everything. Because the cancer had taken up almost all of my body the Phalaxifor worked slowly but surely.
"You were out of it almost 7 days, you know." said Hazel Grace.
"How could I've know. I was out of it." I replied, in a strained quiet voice.
"You sound like you got run over by a bus." she said as she let out a small laugh.
"I'm probably hotter than average though, right." I said trying to make her laugh because she's even more beautiful when she laughs.
She let out a small laugh.
"It's a good life Hazel Grace." I said
"Okay?"
"Okay."
