AMELIAS POV

"Are you starting to feel numb" Joe asked

"A bit" I reply

"Perfect I'm going to go ahead and start then" Joe said grabbing his mirror and the drill

I nervously opened my mouth and he started drilling out my tooth as I squeezed Taylor's hands tighter

"You're ok hun you're doing so well" Taylor said squeezing my hand back

It felt super uncomfortable the closer he got to the root I was pretty much in tears

"You're doing great hun we're going to scrape out the rest of this cavity and I'll fill it back up" Joe said grabbing what looked like a pipe cleaner and started scraping out my tooth

I cried myself through the rest and he finally finished and started filling my tooth back up and drying it

"It wasn't that bad was it" he asked taking his tools out of my mouth

"That was awful" I whimper

"I'm sorry hun" he said sympathetically grabbing another q tip of numbing gel

"Oh ya I have more don't I" I whine

"This part will be the easy part hun" Taylor said softly

"An extraction isn't easy" I whimper

"I'll be fast open up hun" Joe said

I hesitantly opened my mouth and he started rubbing the gel around my other tooth

"Just another quick pinch hun" he warned before poking the other needle in

I laid there really wanting this to be done so I knew I had to cooperate if I ever wanted to get out of here. He took the needle out of my mouth and positioned the pliers around my tooth

"Just some pressure while i wiggle this tooth out" Joe warned before starting to wiggle my tooth

I didn't think that much of it till he yanked it out making me jump

"Your alright, I'm all done" he said sticking gauze in my mouth

I was so happy to get out of the chair and stretch, I wasn't happy about today but I was just thankful it was done
