Chapter 1-

Hazel's POV:

"Hazel" I could hear my mom calling me from downstairs. "Hazel, Do you remember what day it is today?" She sounded very cheery but for the life of me I could not figure out why. "No mom I do not remember" my voices sounded a lot more groggy then I intended it to be. I had been at Gus's bed side almost every night for over a week, watching over him, making sure he's safe. She walked into my room and sat on my bed."Hazel don't you remember what today is?"

"Wait let me guest, something like my late goldfish's 9th year since death." Trying to sound as sentimental as possible cause I really couldn't remember and it sounds pretty important.

"No Hazel, Gus get's out of the hospital today" I immediately sat up at this remark, how could have I forgotten? She started hooking me up to Phillip with a huge grin on her face.

"Oh my goodness how could have I forgotten?" My head was spinning.

"Well you have been spending all you nights at the hospital, you must be pretty tired." She's always right.

"Maybe you should just stay home and we..." I cut her off.

"No we're going, I'm going to be there with him, through everything. No matter what."

"Okay, you should probably get dressed then, we'll leave soon." I got out of bed and just through something on, I didn't care what I looked like I just wanted to get there as fast as I could. I went downstairs my dad was in the kitchen making breakfast, eggs. "Hi Hazel, you ready?" "Of course I am, and dad..."

"Yes Hazel."

"Eggs for breakfast?" I pointed sarcastically at the eggs in the pan. "We've had this talk."

"Oh Hazel just eat, you'll want to get there quickly." I finally agreed that this one time I'd put up with it, my dad calling me weird. I sat and ate watching the birds out side flying freely around in the morning glaze.

"Hazel you want to go?"

"Ya mom just let me get something." I got up from the table and went back upstairs to my room, and grabbed an orange tulip from my desk that had 'it's a metaphor' sketched into the stem . Walking downstairs thinking about the day we met...

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Because you're beautiful. I enjoy looking at beautiful people, and I decided a while ago not to deny myself the simple pleasure of existence."

I remember thinking he was the most amazing person I'd ever met, and I was right.

"Hazel, ready?"

"Yep coming mom." When we finally got into the car it felt like time couldn't go any faster. When we finally got there I practically jumped out of the car and ran; well, ran in a sense. My lungs suck at being lungs so I can't actually run. 'Running' my mom trialling right behind me. I waited at the door for her.

" Hazel you need to calm down, you're going to overwork you lungs." I could hear a sense of worry in her voice.

"Sorry mom."

I couldn't stop smiling.

We went up to the reception, her name is Marge

"May I go see Augustus?"

"Of course Hazel, it's very big day today."

I spend so much time at the hospital with Gus, everyone know's me. And they all know our love story.

"The biggest of them all."

"Well that's good I'm very happy for you too."

Still smiling I started walking to Gus's room.

"And Hazel, when you and Augustus get married..."

I turned around.

"Ya?"

"Make sure you send us all pictures."

Now she is smiling, I think maybe more than me.

"Of course Marge."

And I kept walking to his room.

When I waked in he was sitting on the side if his bed with a copy of An Imperial Affliction, just reading in the morning light.

"Augustus Waters." he set his book down and turns around to looked at me

"Hazel Grace Lancaster."

He smiles his big lanky Gus smile, which brings me to tears.

I walked over to his bed and we just sit there hugging. We break apart and I pulled the tulip out from my pocket and handed it to him.

"Hazel thank you for everything." He took the flower and put it in my hair, I might have blushed a little.

"Hazel what you're wearing..."

"What about it?" I have to admit I was a little confused.

"That's what you were wearing the day me met, my Natalie Portman."

"Oh Gus you're amazing, everything you've gone through and you still remember little things like that."

"But Hazel it's not little it's when our infinity started."
