Hazel Grace woke up early on a Friday morning, due to the sunlight pouring through her bedroom window. Rather than being a kraken and frantically getting up to pull down the shade, hair a mess and eyebrows furrowing, she took the time to lay peacefully in bed. One of Augustus' big basketball tee shirts was draped across her small torso, dwarfing it. Still, Hazel liked it, because it smelled like him. Like her lanky, beautiful Gus. He was so lovely, surprising her with a Dutch-themed picnic and the invitation to join him on a trip to Amsterdam and the Peter Van Houten's house.
Hazel picked up her phone, searching through her voice mails until she found one from Augustus.
"Hey Hazel Grace, I tried to get in touch with you and you didn't answer. Anyways, call me back, hope everything's okay".
She smiled at Augustus' voice, and then jumped when her phone started singing a song by the Hectic Glow, which was Augustus' ringtone.
"Would you care to join me for a cup of coffee?" his voice rang out upon Hazel's "hello".
"Where and when?" she asked, as a confirmation of her attendance.
"My house in twenty minutes?"
"I'll see you in twenty minutes."
"Don't bother to change out of pajamas, it's much more fun that way," Augustus said. Hazel laughed.
"Okay," she smiled.
"Okay," he said back, and Hazel could practically hear the smile in his voice.
"Okay," she was finally the first one to hang up.
