Summary Chapter 17

Now it´s a month ago, Hazel and Augustus returned from Amsterdam.
Hazel goes downstairs to Augustus´s bedroom one afternoon, to find him laying in his own urine.
She shouts for his parents and waits upstairs while they clean up.
When she returns later on, they play Video Games and Hazel feel awkward.
Augustus is extremely weak and they can´t play for long.
Trying to make him feel better, Hazel tells “Gus”, that she pissed the bed plenty of times. He says she used to call him Augustus. And follows, that he thought he was special and would have a story worth telling.
Hazel wishes, that it was enough for him that she thinks he´s special. She says she and his family and his life are all he gets. He won´t ever be a hero, NBA star or Nazi slayer. When she tries to apologize, Augustus says she´s right and the two go back playing video games.
