Hazel wakes up at 2:35 a.m. to a call. She´s sure it
informs her that Augustus has died.
Instead it´s Augustus asking her to help him.
Their´s something very wrong with his G-tube and
he´s stuck at a gas station. He tells her not to call the police or
his parents and to come and get him.
Hazel is sleepy and perplexed but drives to the
gas-station, where she finds Augustus sitting in the driver´s seat.
Hazel suspects the G-tube tract into Augustus´s
abdomen is infected. Hazel calls for an ambulance. Augustus mumbles
about only wanting to buy a pack of cigarettes on his own.
Hazel thinks about how much Augustus has changed. He
begins to rant about how much he hates himself and just want to die.
