The Fault in Our Stars 201-300

Hazel and Augustus kissed for the first time in the Anne Frank house. They just kind of got lost in the moment, and when they finally stopped kissing, they broke apart to the whole crowd cheering for them. They went back to the hotel room and slept together. They are both totally in love with each other, and it is so adorable. The next day, Augustus was acting kind of weird, and that night, he told Hazel that his cancer had come back, and it was all over his body. She knows that he's not going to live much longer, and she's absolutely devastated. She understands how stupid it was for her to try to distance herself from Augustus because she was going to die. She realizes that it would be impossible for her to quit loving him for any reason. A couple weeks after they got back from Amsterdam, Gus ended up in the hospital for terrible chest pains, and this is kind of the beginning of a continuous struggle for him. Hazel spends pretty much all of her time with him and he just keeps getting worse. He's in a wheel chair and can't really do much for himself anymore. One night, he called her in the middle of the night and said he needed her to come get him from a gas station. He went to get some cigarettes because he got his pack taken away, and he wanted to do one last thing by himself, but his G-tube into his stomach got messed up, and he had thrown up, and he needed help. Hazel came to help him, and she ended up calling an ambulance to come get him. A few days later, he came home from the hospital, and all of his family had come home because everyone knew he was living some of his last days. Augustus called Hazel and asked her to write him a eulogy to read at the next cancer kid support group. He wanted to be able to "attend his own funeral," so he had Hazel and Isaac say some words about him. Eight days later, he died. Hazel felt absolutely empty, as did I. It was the most horrible things she had ever gone through. A few days later, the funeral was held, and Peter Van Houten showed up. Hazel couldn't believe he was there, and when he offered her an explanation of the end of An Imperial Affliction, she turned him down. She said that he was a pathetic alcoholic, and she told him to go home. A few days later, Isaac mentions some writing to Hazel that Augustus had been working on. Hazel goes frantic trying to find it, because she thinks it might be "his sequel" to An Imperial Affliction. Van Houten finds Hazel again and tells her that his daughter died of cancer just like the girl in his book. Hazel almost feels sorry for him, and she tells him he should quit drinking and go back to doing what he does best: writing. Hazel also finds out that her mom has been pursuing a new job for when Hazel dies. She never told Hazel because she thought it would hurt her, but Hazel is excited that her mom will still have something to live for after she dies.
