Cherry

Today was finally my first day back and I was trying to get into my routine, even though I didn't have any patients. So it basically consisted of me following Harry around, since he was keeping a close eye on me.

I did some paperwork here and there, updated my website, and found my office, but I was basically just Harry's shadow the whole day.

"Hey Liam gave me a random lolly, do you want it?"

"Why'd he give you a random lollipop?" I asked as I followed him into his office for the twentieth time today.

"I have no idea. He just handed it to me and said it's cherry."

"Yeah sure. I'll take it. Thanks."

I took the sucker from Harry and unwrapped it, sticking it in my mouth as I sat on Harry's couch and started to work on records and files.

Harry went to his desk and was typing on his computer.

Harry's office door opens and in walks Niall, who just stood in the doorway with his eyes wide.

"What's your problem mate?" Harry asked as we both watched Niall in the doorway.

"Oy! You're eating a lolly. I thought I told you no hard candy, or candy at all."

"I was just sucking on it, I didn't bite into it."

"Still, you need to be careful." Niall said as I continued to suck on the lolly.

Niall sat on the opposing couch, playing on his phone.

I got through a few layers of the lolly before I tasted something weird.

That doesn't taste like a lollipop.

I went to get up to go throw the lollipop away, but I barely even made it there as a rush of tiredness hit me.

I stumbled and ending up falling face first towards the floor. I felt a cut on the side of my cheek but I couldn't pay much attention to it as my eyesight faded into blackness and I fell asleep.

Niall walked into my office giving Jasmine a hard time for just sucking on a lolly. She didn't even bite it yet. I know that he's her orthodontist but if she did bite it, I would've said something. She knows better.

But I guess she gave up on the lolly because she got up to go through it away, but didn't even make it towards the trash can before she ended up on the ground.

I rushed over to her as her eyes closed.

As Niall rushed over to her and I checked her pulse, Liam came waltzing into the room.

But he stopped in his tracks when he saw Jasmine.

"What happened to her?" He asked coming closer to us, to see if he could help.

"She was just eating a lolly and then passed out."

She still had a strong pulse and a strong heartbeat.

"A lolly?"

"Yeah."

"Wait, wait! The lolly I gave you?" He asked, almost yelling.

He seemed to he holding back a grin.

"Is this funny to you?"

"Yeah a little. Mate, you were supposed to eat the lolly. I was trying to prank you, it's a sedative lolly." Liam explained.

"Li, are you serious?!"

By now, he was smirking, and trying his hardest not to laugh.

"She'll be okay in half an hour, it was just a small dose, about the dosage for a kid."

I can't believe he was trying to prank me, and poor Jasmine got affected.

"Well her waking up isn't the worst of her worries. She broke a few brackets that I'm going to have to fix as soon as she wakes up." Niall said as he turned off his phone flashlight.

"Well let's get her to your office or exam room and wait for her to wake up." I said.

I gently picked her up and followed Niall out of my office.

"I can't believe you did that, Liam." I said, still slightly furious at him.

"I'm sorry, Hazza. It would've been funnier if it was you."

We made our way to Niall's last exam room down the hall.

I set Jasmine in a chair on the side, knowing she would freak out if she woke up in the dental chair.

Liam sat in the other rolling stool next to Niall, leaving me to stand. There's no way I'm sitting in the dental chair.

I leaned against the wall, answering a few emails.

I was tired of standing though, I've been on my feet all day.

I heavily sighed and sat in the dental chair.

My knees straddling the sides, and my posture being straight, not leaning anywhere back on the dental chair.

Niall looked up from his phone at me.

Niall tried to push my shoulders down when I was distracted but I quickly sat back up.

"Don't even think about it."

"I thought you might have wanted to relax." Niall suggested jokingly.

"Not in this bloody thing."

Niall knows I don't have a great relationship with dental chairs or dentists, but only the guys know about that.

I sent one last email and set my phone down, tired of looking at screens all day.

"Wake me up when she wakes up." I said, trying to get comfortable in this horrid and uncomfortable leather chair.

In a few minutes I was drifting off to sleep, hoping that Liam or Niall will not forget to wake me up.

N i a l l

I watched as Harry dozed off in the dental chair.

"Hey Liam, since your lolly trick didn't work out. Do you want to try something else?"
