Livy2019 helped me so much with this story and I just want to say thank you for that and you guys should all go read her story Secretly Famous!
Hazel's POV
I wake up to a soft tickiling sensation on my side. I search around for the thing creating the sensation and find my phone vibrating. I open the message and find it's from Augustus, it reads, "happy one year anniversary sweetie. Picnic at funky bones 11. Okay?" I respond bracket immediately,"Okay. See you soon Waters!" I look up at the clock and to my horror find it's 9:30. I hook myself up to Phillip and rush to get in the shower. 15 minutes later I get out and wrap myself up in my favorite fluffy green towel and run into my room. I find mom sitting in my room, looking around. "Hi mom, good morning!" She jumped and turned around,"Oh hi Hazel. Happy anniversary for you and Augustus! I have amazing news I never thought we would get!" "Umm thanks? So what's the news?" I ask excitedly. "Well" she begins, "have you been finding it easier to breathe without Phillip?"
"Yeah, I suppose so." I respond
"The doctor called. You're pet scan results came back. All the tumors are gone. Hazel Grace Lancaster, you are officially,CANCER FREE!" She yells!
I stare at her like this is some sick kind of joke but then I realize her smile could probably stretch from Alaska to Massachusetts. I realize she is not lying and pull out my nose nubbins. I can breathe, Oh. My. God. I can breathe again! I CAN BREATHE! I scream and run to hug my mom jumping up and down.
Augustus's POV
I arrive at Hazel's house about 10 minutes early so I sit on her front step and wait. Im just so excited about our date, I haven't seen her in two days. She walks out of the house with a huge grin and no air tank. "What's going on Hazel? Where's Phillip?"
"Good News" she practically squeals.
I read her mind and go in to shock.
"Oh my god Hazel! YOU'RE CANCER FREE!" I shout.
She lifts her up to on her toes and I lift her up. She wraps her legs around my waist and plants her lips on mine. We stay like that for at least 5 minutes. When we separate i grab her hand and we walk towards the car. I try to drive slowly, but from the look on Hazel's face, I'm failing my attempt. We arrive 15 minutes later, Hazel clearly desperate to get out of the car. There was another expression too although I can't figure it out. I lay the blanket down under a shady tree and plop down on top of it. Hazel sits down next to me allowing her head to fall onto my shoulder. She doesn't take her eyes off the playground and I wonder why.
"Shall we eat?" I ask. She looks up at me and smiles. God she is sexy when she smiles. My mind wanders back to the night in Amsterdam. One of the best days of my life.
