Hazel has to take an adult with her on the flight,
because of her illness, so she decided to pick her mother. Then Hazel
thinks about Augustus and later check the online profile of his
ex-girlfriend Caroline Mather. She thinks she and the healthy
Caroline looked nothing alike, but cancer made them extremely
similar.
Hazels parents call her down to dinner and during
eating Hazel is very sarcastic and cold. When her mother asks, what´s
wrong, she says, that she´s a “grenade”. At some point she´s
going to explode and hurt everyone near her.
When Hazel is back in her room, she hears her parents
talking about her. Then she thinks about, that being with Augustus
would really hurt him, so she text him, that she can´t kiss him,
because it makes her think of the pain she´ll cause him. He replies,
that he understands, but also flirts with her, to which Hazel simply
responds “Sorry”.
Then her mother enters the room and tells her, that
she is not a grenade to them.
Just after four in the morning, Hazel wakes up with a
terrible pain in her head.
