Chapter 2: Augustus's POV
Heaven is not like how people think it is. It is actually got a few twists in its hands. Like when you first come. You land inside an office with white walls that are so bright you have to squint to see. Then an official comes to talk to you about your past life. Hazels name had came up a few times in my conference.
Hazel Grace Lancaster. The girl that not only left a mark in my world, but I left one on hers.
Because I was the grenade. And how sorry I felt about that.
Once you're out of the office you feel miserable bringing up your past but you are meeted by numerous people in heaven. They meet and greet you and say welcome and are very friendly. And this is where I met my friend Danny. I met him as I was walking to the check in desk where you get signed up for a home to live in or to find lost love ones. But I didn't need to find someone because I had left everyone I know and love in the human world. I just needed a home to live in.
So as I was signing up on a clipboard, a man about my age had walked towards me, and shook my hand.
"Hi, I'm Danny. I've been around this park for almost three months now. Died from natural causes. You?" He asked.
I looked at him with confusion. I never thought I would meet a friend off the bat."Hey" I said puzzling. 'I'm Augustus Waters. I just actually got here and checking the place out. Cancer got me. Got my leg amputated. And here is where I stand today." I said.
"Ahh I see. Well would you like me to show you around? Why don't we go look at your house first?"
As the lady behind the desk handed me papers with an address printed on it I stated, "Be my guest." And we walked out.
Danny and I still talk all the time. I've told him everything about me. And hes done the same. I've told him all about Hazel and the mark she has left on my world. I've told him about Amsterdam. Issac. Support Group. Anything about my past, he knows. He is one of my best friends now. But he can't compare to Issac. Issac will always be not just my friend, but my brother. And that spot is taken by him and no one can take his place.
And yet one year later I am sitting at home. At my dining table. Alone. With my head slouched over. Thinking and waiting. Waiting to see a name on the list.
The list is a sheet of paper that is posted downtown on the wall of the dead and is updated every hour. I want to see Hazels and Issacs name up there. Don't get me wrong I do. I want to see both of them with me. Hazel smiling as I hug her. And Issac laughing when we tell jokes.
I just know it wasn't there time. But my time. And as much as I hate it, they need to live on to make their mark on the world.
My head is slumped down on my kitchen table and arms wrapped around my head. I looked up at the time. 12:38 am. I should really get to bed. I thought to myself, and slouched back down. Thats when my phone rang. Who would be calling at this hour. I didn't want to pick it up because I wasn't in the mood. I didn't want to talk to anybody. I just wanted to be left alone. Surrounded by my thoughts.
As the call went to voicemail, the voicemail read, "Hi you have reached Augustus Waters. Leave a message after the beep. Thanks." Then the message started. "Hey Augustus this is Danny." Danny, this better be good. I thought with my head now up with me sitting straight back now looking at the phone machine. "I have good news. I recently checked the dead list on the internet. HAZEL GRACE LANCASTER IS POSTED ON THE ONLINE LIST OF THE DEAD!" he exclaimed.
I stood up and ran to the counter of my kitchen picking up the phone and calling him. Within two rings he picked up. "Danny is this some kind of joke?" I asked. "No it is not." he said. I could tell he was grinning on the other end. "Shes here."
And in that moment. I lit up like a Christmas Tree.
