Miss Him. Miss Him Not.

Chapter 5

I didn't get much sleep last night, well I haven't ever since dad left, but last night was worse. I was thinking about what his departure has done to our family.

But hey, maybe yesterday was just a one off. Maybe there's some sort of 'Wacky Thursdays' joke that I don't know about. Yes! That's it! It was all just a joke, a one off. Everything will be back to normal tomorrow!

I get ready for school and head downstairs. When I get to the living room i see John in the kitchen... WOW! Everything is not, and I repeat NOT back to normal!

He is sitting playing with Sarah's old dolls, with his hair spiked up with WAY too much hair gel. There's a thick white substance glooping onto his forehead, nearly in his eyes. On his only clean school shirt he has drawn what I'm assuming is a chicken. There's loads of small doodle around it as well. Not only has he drawn it on his ONLY clean t-shirt, but his drawing isn't that great either!

"John, time for school, get ready!" I call from the living room. As I walk towards him I can see that he's eating something. There are small square bulges in his cheeks. As I get closer and closer I start to speed up my pace. I think I know what he's eating!

"JOHN! SPIT THAT OUT!" I almost shout at him, running to where he sits. He gives me a sad look as Lego blocks slowly plop out of his mouth one by one onto the floor. Oh for flip sake! I tell him to open his mouth so I can inspect it. He complies and I take a look inside his mouth. His gums are covered in blood and one of his moulders on the left, in the back of his mouth is cracked, and a small chunk from the corner has crumbled off.

"Where's mum? She needs to take us to the dentist."

"Shesh out. She left earlier thish mornin," John replies with funny speech, his hand over jaw in help to ease the pain.

"Okay." I quickly fill up two glasses of water half way and tell him to take a swig of water from one of the glasses and swish it around in his mouth, then to spit it out into the other glass of water. He does this several times until there is hardly any blood left in his mouth.

I grab my phone and dial the schools number.

(A/N Italics is the teacher talking!)

"Hello! This is Samantha Doyle. Just to let you know John and I won't be coming in this morning due to an accident but we will try our best i come in later today.

Oh, thank you for informing us. But may I ask what happened?

Well, this morning John tried to eat Lego an it didn't exactly go so well so I'm going to take him to the dentist right away.

That doesn't sound like John at all.

I know. My father left us the other day and things at home haven't quite been right since. Everyone's been kinda off.

Oh, okay. Well try to make it in later today. Thank you.

Thanks. Bye."

They didn't sound the least bit bothered but oh well. I grab John's hand, get some money from the counter and rush to the bus stop.

-------AT THE DENTIST------

I'm waiting outside, in the waiting area of the dentist with Johnny. I've been told I need to fill in some paper work so I do. I hand it back to the lady behind the counter.

I sit there in silence, listening to sound of drills and stuff coming from the room in which Johnny entered. Now that I think about it, John has a fear of dentists! How the hell are they operating on him right now! He would be screaming and fidgeting and doing everything in his power to get away! Maybe he was in so much pain he just got on with it... eh!

Johnny walks out looking.... drunk?

"I'm sorry, you may want to sit this young man down. He kept trying to bite me so I had to give him laughing gas so he wouldn't be so.... annoying," the dentist that came out spoke to me and my god, was he dreamy! I might have to eat Lego just so he can 'fix' me up!

"And I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch with me?" the hot dentist asked me.

"P-Pardon?" i was shocked! HE JUST ASKED ME TO LUNCH! Even though he's like twice my age!

"I said it wouldn't be wise for him to eat lunch." Ohhhhhh... that makes so much more sense!! "He has a filling and will not be able to eat for the next 3-4 hours."

With that, me and John left the dentist. I check the time an it's only 10:15! The school doesn't know when we will be back......

This is going to be fun!
