Hope everyone is doing well! Much love!
Bela, Ashton's little sister, loved to watch her brother and his bandmates perform, and on the side they were also all dentists. She was incredibly proud of the boys, but that didn't keep her from being afraid of the dentist. Bela had been having some pain in her mouth and upon inspection, Ashton saw that it was time for her wisdom teeth to be taken out, so he and the boys decided to get her in a week from that day. Well, during her week of waiting, Bela had plenty of time to dwell on the appointment. As the days passed, all Bela could think of was the appointment and how afraid she was. "Bela, have you watched the Teeth music video yet?" Ashton asked as he walked down the stairs on the day it released, also the night before her wisdom teeth removal. "Not yet," Bela said looking up from the book she was reading on the couch. "Okay! Well, when you watch it, let me know how you like it!" Ashton said before walking into the kitchen to make himself some dinner. Bela was doing everything within her power to get the thoughts of the procedure the next day out of her head; she had read, played music, went for a walk, drawn, everything but it was no use.
Bela finally finished her book at 11:00pm, and she yawned as she closed the book and stretched out on the couch. "Holy crap!" Bela said seeing the time on her phone. "I need to get to bed," she thought out loud as she turned the living room light off, and padded up to her bedroom. "Night," Bela said stopping at Ashton's open door before going to her own. "Night, sis!" Ashton said turning around from his laptop and smiling at her. "Don't forget to be up at 8:00am," Ashton said and Bela nodded as she shut the door behind her. Then, it hit her like a ton of bricks, she had finally gotten the thoughts about getting her wisdom taken out out of her head, and they all came flooding back just like that. "It's going to be fine," she thought to herself as she put some pajamas on before hopping into bed and covering up. She laid and played on her phone as the thoughts circulated her mind, and she huffed at her lack of being able to sleep. She scrolled through social media for another ten minutes before she remembered that she still hadn't watched the music video for "Teeth." She typed it into YouTube, and got comfy as she watched the video. She was enjoying the music video a lot until her mind got the best of her. Her enjoyment turned to anxiousness as she thought about everything going on. "What if I hallucinate tomorrow?" she thought to herself uneasily as she sat her phone down on the nightstand and turned the lamp off. "I can't do this anymore," she thought to herself. Thoughts circled her mind about how she could hallucinate during the procedure all night, and she finally fell into a restless sleep.
Bela shot up breathing heavily as her alarm went off. She had nightmares about hallucinating all night. She was covered with sweat, and she felt like she could throw up. Her heart was pounding, and she felt a nervous lump in her throat. She finally caught her breath after a second, and Ashton opened the door. "Hey Bela, are you- woah! Are you okay?" Ashton asked as he opened the door and saw the state she was in. "Yeah...bad dream," she mumbled as she flopped back against her pillow exhausted. "I'm sorry! You wanna talk about it?" Ashton asked sitting on her bed, but Bela shook her head 'no.' She didn't even want to think about the surgery that laid ahead of her, or the terrible thoughts that had been flirting through her head all night. "Okay! Well, we need to leave in about 30 minutes, so you should probably go ahead and get up," Ashton smiled before leaving Bela to get ready. She sighed and rolled out of bed as her nervousness grew.
"Ready Bela?" Ashton asked up the stairs. "I guess," she said running down the stairs, and following her brother out to his car. The drive to the boys office was less than comforting. Ashton was trying to carry on a conversation with Bela, and she stared aimlessly out the window as all of the thoughts went through her head again. "Bela....Bela!" Ashton said noticing his sister spaced out. "Yeah, yeah, sorry?" Bela said being torn from her thoughts. "Are you sure you're okay?" Ashton asked getting worried about Bela. "I'm fine," she fake smiled and leaned her head against the car door. Bela was literally anything but fine though; the nervousness had only grown in the pit of her stomach, she felt her whole body shaking, her hands were sweating, and her mind was racing. Ashton wasn't believing it, but tried to chalk it up to her just having a lot on her mind as he pulled into the parking lot. "Alright, well let's get this show on the road," he smiled as he got out of the car, and Bela followed him slowly into the office. "Hey guys!" Ashton greeted as he walked in to see Luke, Calum, and Michael. "Hey Ashton! Hey Bela!" the boys said and Bela waved at them quietly. "Did you see the views on 'Teeth'? It's doing really well!" Calum asked and Bela felt her heart drop at the mention of the video that had caused all of her scary thoughts. "I did! It looked so cool!" Ashton answered as he walked around the office and helped them set up the room they would be performing Bela's surgery in.
"Bela, you can go ahead and come sit down while we are getting everything ready," Luke said with a smile. "O-okay," Bela said as she moved over to the dental chair and sat nervously. "So, how are you feeling about the surgery?" Michael asked seeing Bela fidgeting. "Um..I'm okay...kinda nervous," Bela said but that was a huge understatement. She felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest. "What's got you nervous?" Ashton said pulling a seat up to talk to his sister, and his concern started to grow. "I just...it's.." Bela started but stopped mid-sentence. "What's going on, Bela? You can tell us!" Calum added as they all began to get concerned as well. "Fine...I watched the 'Teeth' music video last night, and it's scared me...I don't want t have hallucinations while you guys are doing the surgery," Bela explained and all of their faces lightened, and they chuckled a little at her. "Bela, you're going to be fine!" Luke said laying a hand on her shoulder. "Absolutely, sis! It's just a video, none of that was real," Ashton smiled at her. "We are going to take great care of you," Michael promised. "100%! I promise everything is going to be just fine!" Calum said and Bela nodded. She felt much better after they comforted her and assured her she wouldn't hallucinate. "Okay, you ready then?" Ashton asked and she nodded with a smile.
The boys performed her surgery and everything went great. Next thing Bela knew, she was waking up on the couch at her and Ashton's house. "Hey sis!" Ashton said as he saw Bela waking up. She stretched out and could feel something cold on her face. "We went ahead and put some ice packs on so your swelling wouldn't be as bad. We can get you some more whenever that melts," Luke told her. Bela nodded and closed her eyes again. "Are you hungry?" Michael asked and Bela thought for a second and nodded. Calum brought her a bowl of soup and for the next week they took really good care of her until she felt better.
