“Hazel, can I get a hand here?” I’d forgotten he couldn’t make his own way back to the circle. “Don’t swear in the Literal Heart of Jesus,” Gus said. He pressed his forehead down to the podium and I watched his shoulders shake, and then finally, he said, “Goddamn it, Augustus, editing your own eulogy.” After he’d recovered his composure, he added, “I would cut the bit about seeing through girls’ shirts.” Augustus, my friend, Godspeed.”Īugustus nodded for a while, his lips pursed, and then gave Isaac a thumbs-up. “And then, having made my rhetorical point, I will put my robot eyes on, because I mean, with robot eyes you can probably see through girls’ shirts and stuff. “But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.” And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness. Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. “I’m telling you,” Isaac continued, “Augustus Waters talked so much that he’d interrupt you at his own funeral. “I’m assuming you’ve got some time, you interrupting bastard.

We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should have gotten more.” “Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. “At your leisure.” Isaac cleared his throat. “My first bit is about how you were a self-aggrandizing bastard.” I laughed. “Anyway, I know it’s a bit self-aggrandizing.” “Hey, you’re stealing my eulogy,” Isaac said.
“Would you believe they leave the door open all night?” Gus asked. “How did you even get in here?” I asked him.
“I’m hopeful I’ll get to attend as a ghost, but just to make sure, I thought I’d-well, not to put you on the spot, but I just this afternoon thought I could arrange a prefuneral, and I figured since I’m in reasonably good spirits, there’s no time like the present.” I reached across his back and hugged both him and the wheelchair. “By the way, will you speak at my funeral?” “Um, of course, yeah,” I said, letting my head fall onto his shoulder. I pulled a chair into the center of the circle with him as he spun the chair to face Isaac. Isaac stood behind a little wooden lectern, clinging to it. “Hazel Grace,” he said, “you look ravishing.” “I know, right?” I heard a shuffling in a dark corner of the room. He’d been waiting for the elevator doors to open. He was facing me from the center of the circle. But now I saw only Gus in a wheelchair, ghoulishly thin.
When the elevator doors unscrolled, I was in the Support Group room, the chairs arranged in the same circle.
