The Alpha's Broken Mate

Chapter 40: Ice Cream

Penelope's P.O.V.

After our little moment, Adam let me shower and he went downstairs to make breakfast for us.

"You have another dentist appointment." Adam said, just handing me milk. "With everything going on, we couldn't see them. Wait, show me your teeth."

I closed my mouth, and swiped my tongue over my front teeth. Sure enough, I felt the brackets come loose. I didn't know that could happen.

I slowly smiled at Adam, showing my teeth. "It's not as bad as I thought it would be.."

Adam sighed, "Go change and I'll call them." I nodded my head and walked upstairs. I looked through my closet and found a white knitted sweater that went past my mid-thigh, with some black leggings.

I decided to leave my hair down because I lost all my hair ties. I sighed and went down the stairs where Adam was already dressed and ready to go.

He offered his hand, and I gladly accepted it. 

We drove to the dentist that I went last time with Phoenix. To my disappointment, it was only a five minute drive.

I hesitated to get out of the car, but Adam gently pulled me out. I let him drag me into the hell hole, trying to stall time.

When Adam pushed the door opened, then bell connected to the door rung. A boy scrambled to greet us, bowing his head slightly.

"This way, sir."

We followed the boy to a room, like the regular dentists room, there was a chair in the middle with some cabinets on the side and the machine thing hovering over the top of the chair.

"I need to go to the bathroom." I said quietly. Adam nodded, "I'll take you there." 

"I'll tell the dentists." The boy said, writing something down on the clipboard.

I opened the bathroom door, shutting and locking it. When I was done, I stared into the mirror.

I looked better, my skin was still pale, my eyes were slowly getting its color back, but you can still see the dull look.

I looked away, and washed my hands.

I opened the door and Adam was standing there, looking at the wall. We walked back to the room, and saw the familiar dentist.

"We need to do some x-rays to see if the braces actually did something. I highly doubt it, although."

After the x-rays, he looked at his clipboard, clicking the pen. "Seems like it did nothing. Now, can you show me your teeth?"

I was hesitant, but did so anyways. He put on some gloves, gently touching the metal things on my teeth.

He pulled his hand back, "Most of them are damaged and need new ones, we'll just take all of them off and put in new ones."

Adam nodded his head, looking down at me.

"Are we able to do it now?" Adam asked. "Are schedules clear?" He asked the other dentist. "Yes, up until one."

"That should be enough time. I'll get the supplies that we need." The dentist walked out with his assistant.

Once he walked out of the room, I was up on my feet and running down the halls. I heard Adam calling my name, but I didn't look back.

I turned a corner, and bumped into someone. I fell on the floor and looked up, seeing Cameron. I quickly got up, but he grabbed my waist, restraining me to move.

I struggled to get free, but it was all in vain. "Here." Cameron suddenly said, picking me up and handing me to Adam.

I huffed and Adam put me down. Adam bent down, "Piggy back ride?" He said, trying to cheer me up.
