Chapter five to Chapter Seven

After the night of the broken trophies Gus and Hazel didn´t speak for a week, but during the dinner of one night she noticed that someone was calling her, it was Augustus. When she called back him, he told her that Peter Van Houten the author of her favorite book replied him an email, so she asked him his mail to tell him all the questions about the book she had.

After writing the email to Peter she called again Gus and there is where she finds out his ex – girlfriend also had cancer and she died just a short time ago, at the end of the conversation they agree that Okay was going to be their always (their word referring to forever).

Hazel visits Isaac and even he is fine no evidence of cancer, without his vision he feels bad also without Mon (his ex – girlfriend) so when he fall asleep she goes back to home.

When she checks her email she finds out Peter just answered her, telling her that he won´t answer her questions by mail, so he invited her to Amsterdam. She say it to her parents and they can´t afford it and she understand; also she tells it to Gus who recommended to use her “Wish” that is given to all children with disabilities, but she already used it for Disneyland.

Next day Augustus called her, because he was at her place, she was just arriving. Gus gave her some orange flowers, and everything in the picnic at the park were representative of Nederland, because he had a surprise; he was going to used his wish for going with her to Amsterdam.

When she tell her parents, they seem a worried about going with a stranger, so Hazel said “He´s not a stranger he´s my second best friend” because her first one was her mom, or that is what she said, their parents said they would call the Dr. Maria.

Hazel called Katelyn because she is feeling some attraction to Gus, so she just realized he really is hot.

After the call she searched for Caroline (the ex of Gus) and she noticed how much people miss her and she didn´t wanted to be a problem for Gus so she denied to herself she liked Gus.

In the night she started screaming because she was having a lot of headaches, she went to the clinic and she was feeling bad because as she supposed she had fluid in the lungs. After a week when she was out, she noticed Gus was there for her.

When she read the mail that Peter sent to Gus she decided to try going to Amsterdam.

Chapter one to Chapter four.

Hazel is a girl with cancer in the lungs; she is not depress cause she knows that someday she will die, but her mother thinks Hazel is depress because she reads one book (An Imperial Affliction) over and over again and she likes to stay at home, so her mom took her to a Support group for people with cancer.

Hazel really hates going to the group because she thinks it´s more depressing to be there, listening the stories. Patrick is the leader of the group and he used to have cancer and he got cure, so he created the group in “the heart of Jesus”.

One day in the group a new boy was staring at her, so she can´t believe it because he is hot and she doesn´t feel pretty. During the session Hazel figure out that Augustus (the name of the boy) is a friend of Isaac (the boy whom Hazel has more relation). At the end of the session Augustus starts flirting with Hazel and ask her out to his house to see a movie (V for Vendetta) and she accept.

At his house they start knowing better each other, telling their story, how was their life before knowing they had cancer and he give her a book from a video game  and she tell him about her favorite book AIA and she promise to call him when she finish to meet again.

Next day it´s Hazel birthday so she goes to the mall with Katelyn, she was a friend o Hazel at school and now she rarely see each other cause three years ago Hazel left school and she is in collage now at MCC.

Hazel doesn´t feel comfortable with people so she ask Katelyn to leave and she stay alone at the mall finishing the book Gus gave her. There is when she notice she prefers to be alone.

She call Gus to tell him she finished and ask him if he finished AIA and he hasn´t, so for watching each other he has to end the book.

Next day after school Hazel goes to the movies with her mom, and she enjoyed it, when they went home she called Gus cause he texted her he finished the book, so he invite her to his place.

When Hazel arrives she notice Isaac crying and he was sad because he just had broken with Monica his girlfriend, so he starts destroying the trophies that Gus didn´t like.

Favorite quotes

• I really liked the prayer they make in the support group “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference”.

• I also liked when Hazel respond against Gus saying “When all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught…”
