Support Group Journal Entry

Entry: My mom thinks I'm depressed. She and my doctor insist on making me go to support group. Uhhhhhhh. But I don't want to, I want to explore, get a fake id. But they are NOT helping with that. Finally I agree to go to that support group. My mom drives me there tells me to make friends and sends me on my way. So I get to support group and I practically run over this (cute) guy on my way in, then I go to the bathroom to fix my hair, and go sit down. Patrick, the group director goes around the room and lets people tell what they have. When it gets to Patrick he tells us about his cancer, (he almost died). Then its Isaac's turn. He tells about how he is blind in one eye and he is going to get the other one taken out so he will be completely …show more content…
When I get there Issac is crying and playing video games, His girlfriend broke up with him. He said she couldn't handle breaking up with him after he got his surgery that would make him completely blind. Gus let him smash his basketball trophies cause Gus was trying to find a way to tell his dad he didn't like basketball anymore. Augustus called me during dinner, but I wasn't allowed to answer it because we have a no phones during dinner rule. I ate as fast as I could, which made me feel out of breath and reminded me of when my lungs filled with water, which made me worry. Worrying is another side effect of dying. I excused myself and called him. Augustus told me about how he likes reading The Imperial Affliction. Then Augustus told me “He is impossible to track down”,(referring to the author of the story). Then he said “ Dear Augustus Waters…” HE TRACKED DOWN PETER VAN HOUTEN, He tracked down his assistant actually, but same thing. So I decided to write to him. “ Dear Mr. Peter Van Houten…” Me and Augustus talked on the phone for Awhile then i went to sleep. Augustus texted my on Wednesday, “ Isaac is out of surgery”. I decided to go visit Isaac. When I got there we talked about how doctors make it seem like you are 4 when they draw blood, Then I left. The next day i got an email, Dear Ms. Lancaster…, It was from PETER! I screamed and my mom came bolting in, she yelled what the matter was, I explained that Peter had invited …show more content…
Me and Gus are watching a gory movie when he tells me something, He loves me, I couldn't say anything back, words wouldn't come out of my mouth. He just nodded and we fell asleep.We arrived in Amsterdam. A couple days later me and Gus go out to dinner, Peter has payed for it. A couple days later we go to Peter's house. The door opens and it is his assistant, Lidewij. Peter doesn't want to meet us but Lidewij makes him. It was actually Lidewij who made this all happen, His whole floor is covered in unread letters. I Came here because i wanted him to answer some of my questions about The Imperial Affliction. So far he was being mean, but i keep my cool. He said,“Us adults pay for your treatments,for our oxygen machines. We give you food and water though you are unlikely to live long enough----”.Lidewij stopped him, “PETER”. We Demanded for answers but he wouldn't give them to us so I stormed out. The next day gus took me outside to talk. He said he had a PET scan before we left,”It lit up like a christmas tree Hazel”, He says as we both start crying,” I’m so sorry Hazel.” So we just sat there, staring of into the distance. We flew home, And about a week later we went to the park and ate sandwiches and drank wine. We both go to our houses and fell asleep. At about 2am he calls me “I'm at a gas station Hazel something is wrong you gotta help me”, He was out buying a pack of cigarettes (that he used as a metaphor). I had
