Just this once

Chapter 1

Hazel POV

8 days after Gus had his Pre- funeral I was waiting for that one phone call that can literally break my infinity with him, my connection with him in this earth, I don't want him to leave me here, so that he could go that capital-S somewhere...

Ring... Ring... Ring...'Please don't let it be now...'

I clear my throat for a bit and reach for my phone from my bedside table "Hello?" my voice was already wavering 'SHIT'

"Hey Hazel Grace, remind me again what medicine you're in taking every day? Because it seems it is working with my cancer as well." it was Augustus, he's okay, my Augustus is okay, I let out a sigh of relief

"Hey now, did you think I would give up that easily?" his voice back to how I remembered, "don't ever take your sickness lightly Augustus Waters, or else I might not give you your new pack of cigarettes I bought for your sake."

"Really, that's good..." all I hear is him breathing in out deep and slowly... "Okay?" "Okay" he replied shakily as well, "God, I miss seeing you Hazel Grace, care to come and visit me now?" I chuckle "Patience grasshopper."

I repeat when we first met "Fine tomorrow then alright Hazel Grace?" "Alright, I love you." "And I you... Okay?" "Okay." "Okay" the other line went dead

as I fall back into bed and then I remembered that I have to tell him Gus is alright so I call Isaac

Ring... Ring... Ring... "Hello? Hazel what happened? Is he alright, is he still alive Hazel Grace please I want you to tell me, is-is he-"God, I've had enough of his rambling

"ISAAC! Calm down he's alright heck even better he sounds like himself again, he fought through he beat the cancer Isaac, HE DID IT!" silence complete utter silence greats me after my reply,

"HOLY SHIT, HE'S OKAY THANK YOU, don't lie to me Hazel." "I'm not do you think I would lie to you 'bout something like this, I wouldn't stoop so low Isaac." he lets out a sigh of relief "so are you gonna visit him?" "I'll visit him tomorrow I have to rest up so I can bombard him with questions, comments and so much more." "Sure I'll see you tomorrow, night." "Alright Isaac, Goodnight"

I place my phone down and look up my ceiling "Thanks for helping him put his shit together." and I let one tear slip my eye as I go back to sleep...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line break (The next morning) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up with a jolt so I open my eyes and see Isaac smiling at me cane at hand bumping my bed but there were 2 shadows so I look up and see Kaitlyn hovering above me,

"wake up sleepy head I came for a visit and bumped into Isaac, he is the one you were talking about right darling?" I nod and got off my bed, "you alright there Isaac?"

"Yeah I'm much better Hazel thanks, so ate you gonna get ready or are you just gonna waste time, and I thought you promised Gus a visit today?"

Kaitlyn looked at me with a –I want to know everything-Look "get out of my room both of you, Kaitlyn help him down and wait for me after I freshen up it'll only take a few minutes." "Fine, come here darling let's leave Hazel alone." both of them left my room as I get ready for the day...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line break (After a few minutes) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dress up in a green dress that ends below the knees and have ¾ sleeves I go down stairs and see Kaitlyn and Isaac having a deep conversation,but before I even reach the bottom I almost fell down when Isaac had guts to ask her out

"So, um uh, Kaitlyn do, uh you want to go out with me maybe? For dinner or something?" she practically jumped at him saying yes, "So you wouldn't mind to actually be dating a blind dude?"

"Of course I wouldn't mind why'd you think I'm still sticking with Hazel? she is like Augustus and you, she's my best friend I support her and do everything I can to help her I would never know what'll happen to me or what I would think of myself if I just left her when we found out she had cancer... I would never forgive myself but, still I-I don't know what it's like but I'll still do everything I can for her that I promise darling that I promise." I slip inside the room looking at Kaitlyn already crying

"damn you, and the things you just said you understand what I've been through and you still think you don't, and that is not true do I make myself clear?!" she nods but is crying as well she stands up from the couch and hugs me tightly

"I know that darling but how can I say I know everything when I can't understand your pain and suffering, darling if you ever leave me here alone I would always tell myself that I'm utterly and miserably alone, I never made any new friends just acquaintances after you left, I would never in 100 years trade your existence for another hag at school, I promise you that."

"Thank you Kaitlyn for everything." I was openly crying now Isaac was already at our side he rested one of his hands on my shoulder and as I looked up his face he was crying to

"couldn't said it better myself, I would've said that to Gus once maybe one day if he's utterly giving up on life." I laugh at Isaac and wipe both my tears and Kaitlyn's on a tissue and fix myself before we leave,

"you both decent?" "Yes Isaac we are, now hold on to your future hazel and let's get out of here and to Memorial." We get out of my house, my parents gone all day without a clue where they are oh well, we enter Kaitlyn's Beatle and drive to see my Gus...
