Chapter 4: Hazels POV
I did have to send Augustus home because of all the final searching I wanted to do around my house. He pleaded not yet but he did have cleaning to do. But with begging, pleading, and yes kissing, he did finally leave.
The stairs to my bedroom were right by the door where the kitchen meets the family wood of the stairs was a rich dark wood. Up the stairs, the carpet was just a hint lighter than the family room. My bedroom had blue walls that were the color of a fresh water sea. My bed was a queen size bed with a white coating and a cover that was white as a cloud. I had a window right above my bed that had a view of the front yard.
I took a huge breath of air. I took so much I coughed a little. I loved my lungs, or should I say my now good lungs. After a while I felt really tired. I crawled in my bed and fell asleep.
About two hours later I heard a knock at my door. As I arosed from my nap,I rushed downstairs. They knocked again. "Coming!" I shouted. Once I reached the door I opened it. It was Augustus. Once I opened the door, he turned around noticing me and he rushed in grabbing my face and kissing me. It lasted for about four seconds when he pulled away saying "I have dinner." I looked down and he was carrying grocery bags. Thats right, I had no food. All this catching up, I didn't even realize. "Thank you." I said swooping the bag from him. He grinned.
After we ate, we sat on the couch. I was laying on him with my head on his shoulder as he guided his fingers up and down my arm. It honestly tickled, but it was worth it. "Its seven o' clock, do you want to watch a movie maybe." I asked. "If it helps you sleep at night, yes ill watch one." he said getting up and putting in a movie. It was a movie about zombies and aliens. Great. An Augustus movie. This should be fun.
Right when he came back to the couch to watch the movie I laid back down on his shoulder as he put his arm around me. Yet halfway in my eyes got heavier and heavier by the minute and I fell asleep in his arms. You know, that beautiful way where you start to fall asleep, then all at once?
The next morning I woke up in my bed with no sign of Augustus. Yet a yellow sticky note stuck to my bed flapping in the wind. He must have carried me up there. It read, 'Dear Hazel Grace, You do know how to fall asleep very fast, yet beautifully. Remember we have to sign up for volunteers for flower planting at the church down the road. Love ,Augustus.' I sighed and got up to take a shower.
I stripped down and got in the shower. The water was warm yet steaming hot. Yet the longer I stood in it, the colder I got. Weird huh? As I got out, I picked out a new pair of clothes. I put on a teal T-shirt. Then adding a pair of dark skinny jeans to the outfit. It was flower planting and we were going to get dirty so I just threw on some old clothes that I found. It was weird, everyone pair of clothes that I had back home, was in my closet.
As I was done brushing my hair and teeth and adding a fresh layer of deodorant, my doorbell rang. I walked downstairs and as I opened the door, Augustus appeared. "Hey, ready to go?" Gus said "Yeah, just let me just grab my sweatshirt." I said. As I came back, he said "Hey listen. I just want you to make sure you understand that when Caroline is there, anything she says, anything she hears or sees, its all a lie just to make you feel bad, okay?" he said with a frown on his face. "Okay." I responded.
This okay was different than any other one he has said. This one that said listen to me, I love you so much. As he was continuing the list of all the ways she can hurt me. "Their is nothing in the world that can hurt me, it would just be losing you." I said. He nodded. "Also do we have to wear something fancy, cause trust me i'm not in my fanciest outfit." I asked. "You look beautiful." he stated giving me a peck on the cheek. I grinned.
As we entered the church parking lot, still in the car, I started unbuckling my seatbelt. I looked over at him as he wasn't even moving. Just staring. His hands were off the wheel he was just staring forward. "Augustus, wha- what's wron- ." I started. "I never knew it would be this hard." he said interrupting looking over at me with a worried face. I sighed. "Nothing will change my mind." I said soothingly.
"Whatever Caroline says to you, you know its not real okay?" He told. I didn't answer. He looked at me worriedly. I looked down. Quite honestly, I didn't know what he meant. What could Caroline say to me that would hurt so bad making him say that it's not true? "What do you mean she would say something false?" I asked looking back up. He sighed. "Remember when we were talking about Caroline and how she used be such a brat and all. Always had to have the attention? Well she will try to get the spotlight from you to her. Lets just say when you weren't here, she had so many questions for me and that we should get back together but I gave her a flat no. That their was someone else on my mind, and that I missed her. Her smile, her laugh, and the way she spoke poetry that would make a guy fall head over heals for her. And that girl was you." I sat up more straight. I understood. Augustus wouldn't do anything to hurt me.
He looked at me with wonder in his eyes. I sat there, looking at him with the same wonder in my eyes. He grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. He relaxed all of his muscles moving his hand gripping my cheek. Once he pulled back, "I know what you mean." I stated faces still close. "And there's nothing in this world that would ever make me leave you." I said. He smiled with relief. And he smiled the most perfect of smiles pulling me back in for a sweet long kiss.
As we got out, he escorted me to the church garden. The lady handed us a pot and shovel, "Hi Augustus, we need you over there by the rest of the boys, they are on dirt duty." He nodded saying good-bye to me kissing my forehead. "And we can use you Hazel with Caroline." she said then going back to her work. I swooped a look to the left to see Caroline waving hi to me with a smile. Then to the right I looked seeing Augustus mouthing 'I love you.' As I walked to Caroline, she smiled saying "Hi, Hazel."
For the next few chapters, It will take a while updating. I had all these already written I just had to edit them. Now that all of my chapters that I have already written are gone, It will start taking a while to update.
