I do not own The Fault in Our Stars or any of the characters. The amazing John Green does. I only own the plot of this story.
Hazel's POV:
A minute passed. And then another. And then after another five minutes, his beautiful voice came through my phone again:
"Hazel Grace?"
"Yes?" I whispered. It was really him. It was really Augustus. He was alive. He was speaking to me.
"Are you okay?" he asked, suddenly sounding worried.
"Yes, yeah. I'm fine. What about you? Your mom told me that you-"I couldn't do it. I couldn't say it.
"I'm good, grand actually. But no I didn't-"he couldn't say it either, I guess "no my heart just stopped beating for a couple of minutes. That's why my mom was calling you." He whispered to me, as if it was a secret that only we shared and not the entire hospital and his parents.
"Oh, I guess I should have picked up when she called me then." I said, suddenly hating myself.
"No, no it's good that you didn't. Because now we can talk, almost alone." He whispered to me through the phone, through the miles that separated us.
"Almost…" I repeated.
"You know, I wanted to call you as soon as I woke up, but my mom wouldn't let me. So, of course I get one of the cool nurses who understands my problem and she says to my mother 'Excuse me but could you please sign these forms' so naturally while my mom passes by my bed I quickly grab my phone from her purse and…" he started to say something else but I wasn't paying attention by that point. I just wanted to hear him talk. To hear him be alive.
"Hazel Grace?" he asked. Crap, he must have asked something when I was zoned out.
"Yes?" I tried to convince him that I had been listening to his story the whole time.
"I asked you if you had told your parents yet. Or do you want to do something dramatic" emphasis on dramatic, I'll tell you that boy- "to tell them, maybe a fancy dinner you tell them 'Mommy, Daddy I love you but I have to tell you, Augustus is' and then you burst into tears just to have them comfort you and then I pop out of somewhere and say something totally witty and awesome" he finished. I could practically hear him waving his arms around as he finished.
"Wait, Mommy and Daddy" I laughed.
"To make it seem like the situation is really sad."
"Okay." I said, knowing what he would do.
"Okay." He replied
"Okay?" I asked
"Hazel Grace, I just died, came back to life, and you're asking me if I'm okay?" he questioned.
"Okay?" I asked again
"Hazel Grace, I'm more than okay. I'm grand"
