I own nothing, its all John Greens and SM's

Ever since Gus died my parents were extra cautious if that's even the right word for it. They decided it was time for a change, a big one which included moving to another state. Washington, Forks Washington. It ripped me apart, to even think of leaving Augustus behind was making it even harder to breathe if that's possible. As we drive down this crappy tiny road that led to my new home I still fought back tears because damn if it didn't hurt like hell. When we pulled up to this well sized, classy house I noticed something; we were surrounded by trees and only had one neighbor. Who else was so reclusive to willingly stay out here?

"Hazel let's go already come see your new home!" I rolled my eyes at my mothers almost sickeningly enthusiastic behavior.

"Coming!" I managed out toting my oxygen tank behind me as I slowly made my way across the path. Cutting though the air like a knife was a high pitched shrill stopping my feet. My eyes found the source immediately; our neighbors. There on the front porch was a tiny pixie like girl with a look that could scare Hitler. Across her way was blonde haired man with the same look.

"How dare you even accuse me of that! I thought you loved me!" She screamed

"I didn't accuse I told the truth, and let's just be honest I never loved you! You were just a little play thing for when I got bored!" Well he seemed just a bit rude.

"jasper..." The poor girl looked broken one hand clutching her chest the other gripping her hair.

"Don't play innocent and broken you bitch, just leave get lost already. We don't want you here anymore." The man heaved out the words as if he himself were gasping for his last breath. The girl turned quickly and ran from sight at a speed that left me flabbergasted, it was inhuman. The man turned to go inside and his eyes found me, my tiny sickly form. When I finally took him in it was like everything fell away, the pain inside of my faded and I no longer had a thought for Indiana. Those golden eyes sank into me so deeply.

"Good evening." He called out.

"Uh, good evening." I laughed brushing aside my loose bang.

"You're very beautiful!" He yelled.

"Don't you think that's a bit inappropriate considering what I just saw?" I yelled back. He simply shrugged.

"Don't worry about her." How thoughtful, I scoffed. The man just threw out his girlfriend and then comments on a strangers beauty, such a gentleman. I shook my head and made my way into my new home.

That night was quiet, extra quiet. My parents decided they wanted to go and drive around through the town but I decided to stay here. I'd been sitting here wallowing in my grief, still a bit heartbroken and what should I hear? The sound of rocks hitting my window.

"Fair maiden and my newest neighbor please come to your window so I may speakth withthou!" Oh god please save me now, let the cancer finally strike me down. I let my inner pleads run through my head as I walked over to the window my tank squeaking behind me and down below he stood. Can I just say his very sight made my heart skip and I couldn't even say I knew him yet?

"Yes good sir?" I said lazily leaning out my window.

"What is your name fair maiden?" I bit my lip trying to hide my relentless grin and replied

"Hazel Grace."

"Such a lovely name for a lovely girl. My name is Jasper and I want to ask you over for dinner." I pursed my lips and let my head fall to the side.

"Okay sure, when?"

"I'll pick you up around 7?" I gave him a nod and his face lit up. "Thank you sweet Hazel Grace you have just fulfilled my greatest wishes." He bowed clasping his hands together, that silly grin across his face. I felt a pang of sadness and his smile wavered a bit.

"Goodnight Jasper." I laughed shutting my window. As I made my way back to bed thoughts crammed into view, why did Augustus leave my mind when he came around? I'd only just met him. I don't even know his last name! Augustus was supposed to be it, the one but now this stranger had me second guessing. I plopped down on my warm purple sheeted bed and let out a loud huff. Things weren't supposed to be getting complicated. Shrugging I hooked myself up to my other lungs and sunk into a deep slumber.

When I woke up I quickly switched off my machine and put on my nasal cannulas. I took in a deep breath and got up and walked to my boxes with my few clothes inside. I pulled out a pale pink shirt and my usual jeans. Slipping them on I grabbed a little sweater my body feeling a bit colder then usual and I set off to the kitchen.

"Morning Hazel." My dad offered as he sipped his coffee.

"Morning dad." I said reluctantly then quickly adding "where's mom?"

"Oh she's up in her room, she wants to look nice because she's going over to our neighbors today." My heart jumped a little remembering Jasper's visit last night.

"Can I go to?" I asked maybe a bit to eagerly. Dad looked up at me brows raised and a smile on his face.

"Of course you can." Great now he thinks I'm slightly okay with this now.

"I'm still mad at you, you know. Just because I want to meet some neighbors does not mean I forgive you." I warned, he merely chuckled and nodded.

When mom came down I was impatiently waiting at the table, it was like she took forever on purpose.

"Baby, Hazel here wants to go to." Dad interjected stopping me from even getting a word out. Her face brightened about ten thousand times, she'd been a bit down since I yelled and refused to communicate with them for making me leave Gus.

"That's-that's wonderful sweetie." She gasped chuckling a little "well let's go while I still have you."

I stayed silent the short walk to our neighbors front door, mom didn't seem to mind. I assume she was just happy I was making an effort. Mom gently knocked on the front door and almost immediately someone answered the door. This man was perfection he had golden short styled hair and gold eyes to match. His skin was a pale pale white but it was beautiful on him, where as whenever I was pale it wasn't pretty nor was it good. Honestly I was awestruck.

"Hello, my name is Mrs. Lancaster and this is my daughter Hazel Grace." The mans eyes seemed to light up with recognition when she said my name and a smile came across his face.

"Well hello my name is Carlisle, please step into my home." He stepped aside opening the door widely for my mother and I. "It is so nice to meet you."

"And you as well, my husband is still at the house but I'm sure you'll meet soon."

"I do hope so." His home was a freakin mansion I couldn't even believe my eyes. We followed him into the living room where more insanely beautiful people sat lounging about. It was like I was in a clothing ad. "This is my wife Esme." He brought his hand over to a lovely motherly looking woman who gave a smile and a nod. "These are our children Rosalie and her husband Emmett." My eyes bulged at the size of the man next to the Barbie doll looking woman "and Edward with his wife Isabella and their daughter Rennesme" daughter? They look 17 and this girl is definitely at least 13. "Lastly my son Jasper." I held my breath, our eyes met once again and his smile was heart breaking. God he was perfect. Ugh what am I saying?! Was it really to soon? Yeah it had to be. I really shouldn't be feeling like I am towards this man, I mean come on it's just odd.

"Hello beautiful." He whispered stepping forwards and kissing my hand. I couldn't begin to halt the blush that spread along my cheeks.

"Why don't you come with me Mrs. Lancaster and we can get to know each other better?" Carlisle took my mother and swept her away in another direction, his wife following just behind him.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you please call me Bella, I hate it when he does that." Bella had long brown hair with red tones amongst it, her eyes were gold like the rest she was model perfection . What was in the water in Forks?!

"Hi Bella it's nice to meet you."

"Hello, call me Nessie." Nessie had brown eyes unlike the abundance of gold ones and instead of being ice cold she was warm to the touch. "May I ask?" Nessie motioned to Philip the oxygen tank.

"Yeah sure, um I have stage four thyroid cancer that has metastasized to my lungs and started a colony of tumors there." I shrugged slightly "so basically my lungs suck at being lungs." I laughed repeating the familiar line. I saw a small pity smile on a lot of thief faces and I jerked back. "Don't get all pity party on me now, come on guys I just met you." Nessie nodded

"So when did you meet Jasper?" She asked smirking.

"Last night when he came flinging rocks at my window."

"He did not?!" She gaped spinning to face Jasper who was grinning like an idiot, a gorgeous idiot.

"You know I may not seem like it but I can be romantic." He defended, Nessie smirked and muttered

"Sure you can."

"So why did you move here?" Bella asked pulling her 'daughter' into a hug.

"Oh just a change of scenery." I shrugged trying to keep things about Gus on the DL.

"Well I'm sure you'll love it here, the highs bolls great." Nessie interjected

"I got my G.E.D. when I was fifteen. I was taking college classes but the move stopped that."

"Oh a college girl!" Emmett waggled eye brows at Jasper elbowing his side.

"We have nice college nearby, you could take classes with Edward and I."

"Really Bella? That sounds awesome, I'd love to." I never thought I'd be feeling at least somewhat normal this soon, it was crazy.

"Hazel?" My mom entered the room again a smile painted across her face. "Ready to go?"

"Uh...yeah mom sure." I shoved my brown hair back and took a deep breath. I hadn't realized how hard it was getting to breathe lately.

"It was nice to meet you, your home is so lovely I hope we can get together soon." I let out a soft chuckle at my mothers over politeness.

"Hey Mrs. Lancaster would you mind if Hazel Grace stayed over, see I'll miss her an awful lot if she leaves and I figured I should show her around town?"Jasper asked a rich southern accent flowing out from between his lips. My eyes flew to my mom just praying she would say yes. Her brows were raised and mouth open in shock.

"That sounds great, you'll be okay right Hazel?" I have her nodded and hopefully a confident smile. "Well I'll see you home later, please make sure she eats and be home at least by 10, 11:30 the latest."

"Of course ma'am." My mother gave my body a slight squeeze and a small peck on the cheek.

"Love you."

"Love you too." I replied as she released me.
