ALLISON POV

Charlie wanted me to come to his office after school.

It was almost the end of the day. Time went by so slow today. Finally the Bell to go home came, not home for me, next stop Charlie's office.

My hopped in moms car.

"Hey mom" I sigh

"Hey sweetie you okay?" She asked
"Im fine" I say

We drive to Charlie's office. I was not happy.

We arrive there. We get out of the car lock it up and head inside the office.

We check in and take a seat I hear a drill in the distance.

10 min later two people walked out a patient and Charlie.

The patient walked out.

Charlie immediately turns his gaze towards me and smiles warmly.

"Hi Allison your ready to head on back?" Charlie asks

"Ready as I'll ever be" I sigh and stand up and approach him and we head on back to the exam room.

He first takes the X-rays he said he was gonna do. He was very quiet when he was examining the x-rays.

"Is everything okay?" I ask

He gets up takes the lead jacket off me and moves the x-ray camera out if the way and still did not say much to me

"Your scaring me" I say growing more worried by the second

"Allison you always had perfect teeth what happened" he asked

"I don't know I eat too much sugar" I admit to him.

He sighs.

"It's a nasty cavity it needs a root canal" he says

I gulp.

"What is a r-root canal" I say shakily

"It's like a cavity but goes deep in your tooth.. into the roots and the roots need to be cleaned out with a special tool" he says

"Is it gonna hurt" I ask trying not to tear up.

"You will be numbed" he says

"With a needle?" I ask

"Yes but I will give numbing cream so uh won't feel the needle as much" he says

"When are we gonna fix it" I say

"Now" he says

I start having a panic attack but manage to get my breathing under control.

"I'm not ready" I say shakily

"Take your time your my last patient of the day" he says

10 minutes pass of no conversation with me or Charlie.

I finally spoke up.

"Can't we do this another day" I ask

"I'm sorry the longer you wait the more pain you'll be in and you could end up losing your tooth" he says

My eyes widened

"I don't wanna loose my tooth" I say

"Well we should fix it then" he says

I finally relax and tell him I'm ready.

He reclined the chair

"Are you sure you ready?" He says as he washes his hands and applies gloves and mask. Then places a bib on me.

I nod

"Okie dokey then" he says and grabs his mirror and explorer.

"Open wide" he says

I open my mouth.

He examines my mouth, finds the tooth but thank god he doesn't touch it.

He grabs the numbing cream on a q-tip and rubs it on my gum line.

"I'll let that sit for a minute.." he says

"Is the needle gonna hurt?" I say growing more concerned

"A tiny pinch is all then the rest of the procedure is painless" he says

"Okay.." I say wishing the needle would not hurt.

He fumbles with some stuff behind me then picks up the needle.

"You ready?" He says

I nod
