Chapter 43
Left me to die?
No, no, I must have heard wrong.
I slowly turn around to face him. My eyes follow his every move, where he walks towards me.
" Hazel you have to listen to me, let me talk and explain to you-"
"Why did you say such a thing to me Roman?....Why would you say that to me?"
" Danny is not good for you Hazel Grace. He is not."
" Roman, not this again." I say through a sigh, dropping my eyes to the ground.
" Hazel." A gasp slips out when his hands cradle my face and tilt my head up so I am looking into his eyes.
" Hazel I am here, not as your enemy. I am your bestfriend, your Roman. Eversince we were young, have I ever given you a reason to not trust me?"
"No, but - ," I pull out of his touch but his hands are quick to hold my shoulders, keeping me from taking another step further.

"How's your head now?" He asks, after I'd taken a pain killer, to relieve me from the pounding headache." It's not bad anymore." "Are you sure about this?" Roman asks me as we arrive at my destination."No, but I know that I have to do this. It's better now then later I guess." I respond, turning to look at him.His eyes search my own and I just stare at him. He's concerned, I understand but I need to do this. I want to get everything over and done with." I don't know, let me go with you." He says, a plea in his tone." I have to do this on my own." "You don't have to do this on your own, let me be there for you and - " " Roman." I cover his hand with mine and look him straight in the eyes." Let me do this on my own, I can't be dependent on you for everything, there are some things that I will sometimes have to face on my own. And

It's my fault, it's my fault.It should have been me and not him.The thoughts repeatedly play in my head as tears stream down my face. Tonight has been the worst night of my life and I wish, more then ever for someone to tell me that this is all a bad dream. That I'll wake up and he'll be fine. All he wanted to do was to protect me but I couldn't do the same for him. I couldn't protect him. I couldn't protect my best friend.He called out for me. Oh my gosh he called out for me and I should have answered, maybe then he would have stopped. This is all my fault."Hazel!" I jump off my chair when I see Sam and Avery coming my way.I rush towards them, literally throwing myself to him and wrapping my arms around him. " Hazel, hey hey are you okay?" I shake my head, burying my face in his shoulder. I can't stop my bo

"No.""W-what?" I ask, frowning." That's what I mean, you are not going anywhere near my son." Mr O'Connor says."B-but I have the same blood type, I'm sure of this. I can save him." I try explain."My son is in there because he was busy trying to save you , so no, I wont let you go near him, or even see him for that mattet."" Nick, if she says that she is a match with Roman, then we should be jumping at the chance to save him. Everyone has been tested and no luck, she's our last hope. Come on, stop being so stubborn." Mrs O'Connor says in frustration."That boy hasn't returned yet so we don't know the results." He says, talking about Sam who's the last to go in."He wont be a match, I know this. I am the only one who is, he needs me, he needs me more so now then ever." I say desperately.He shakes his head no, already protesting.

" Hazel, wake up......doctor!" I feel myself being shaken awake.I would have resisted, had it not been for the repeat call for the doctor. That's when I remember where I am and why I had been in here. For Roman.A moan slips out as I tiredly open my eyes and the first thing I see are Roman's hazel eyes. " Ha, thank God." He sighs in relief, his eyes closing for a moment.I blink up at him, confused by his actions."You're awake, you're awake." He repeats, burying his face in my hair.What's wrong with him all of a sudden?" Roman?" He leans back to look down at me, his eyes moving all over my face. I watch with a confused frown as he traces his finger along the side of my face as if trying to put it into memory." What's wrong?" I finally ask."You weren't waking up." " I was asleep Roman, I t

"Dad, please say something." I plead quietly.His eyes snap to me." I'm taking you home. For good this time." He says, jumping off the bed." Dad, come on I can't just leave!" I say incredulously, rising to my feet too." You almost died Hazel!!" He shouts with eyes wide." I know that dad. I was there!...B-but that's not what I want to hear right now. I need my dad. I need my dad!" I cry out, tears trailing down my face.His head drops, breathing hard." I failed you didnt I?""Dad." I quickly go over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest.He quickly holds me tight as he releases a shaky breath." I almost lost you, I almost lost the last thing I have left to live for." He says with a shaky breath, causing a pinch in my chest." I'm sorry sweetheart, I'm s

Moving in with Roman, came with a deal. Dad made a deal, that if I were to move in with Roman, I had to attend therapy for atleast a month.Of course I agreed. I wanted more then anything to get out of the academy and to live elsewhere. It's not that dad didn't trust Roman or anything, but he wanted to ensure that I would be safe, as well as safe. To me, Roman was the word safe. I've always felt safe around Roman because I know that he would protect me as I would him. Protecting each other just became a natural thing for us, eversince we were young.With today being the day that I moved, I had everything packed and ready to go and was simply waiting for my dad to show up. I don't know how he managed to sort everything out so quick with the school, but he did and now in a few moments, I would be out of here.Avery was both saddened by the fact that she was losing a roommate but she was

3 weeks later......Winter break is approaching and already the change in weather has made itself known. Today is one of those really cold days and staying at home seems best.Gosh, my home.I still haven't gotten used to it. Roman and I are actually living together. It's been quite a busy couple of weeks I must say. We've had a number of visitors, mainly my dad, my friends, Roman's family which obviously means his stepmom and Rosy, since him and his dad aren't really talking. Well Roman not talking to his dad that is.And when it comes to his friends, lets just say I've been doing a pretty good job at avoiding them. After what had happened at the hospital, everything is still as thick as when we had that little stand off. Everything has been a little calmer, now that I am not living at the Academy

" Roman?" I blink twice, trying to make sense of why he would be here in my room, this early. More over watching me sleep."Hey."" Morning." I mumble, sitting upright.We look at each other for a while without saying a word. " How long have you been in here?" I ask, tucking my hair behind my ears." Not long. " " What's the matter?" I search his eyes and I sense him bothered somehow.A minute passes before he speaks up. "Your birthday is coming up soon." I look away from him. " Is that why you're in here, watching me like a creep." He doesn't answer." I don't celebrate it anymore." I say, turning to face him again. "Those days are gone now. It's just a day and nothing more." " Because of me?" " No." I say, getting out of bed. " It's because of what happened isn'
