Now, one thing that I haven't explained is why I am living with my brother. To keep it short and sweet my parents are very well known in the dental industry so they travel around the country appearing on talk shows, addressing the nation about how to keep their teeth healthy. My parents put my brother in legal custody of me so that I wouldn't have to keep moving to different schools around the country. As much as I love Ollie, I miss my parents a lot. We don't get to FaceTime or even call often due to the fact that they are just too busy. However I don't miss their dental side.
It's November 1st, the day my parents return home for a few days. I don't know whether to be excited or nervous. Seeing as my parents are both dentists / oral surgeons, every time they return home we are always given check ups to see how we are doing. And today was the day of our check ups.
As soon as we arrive at the clinic, I gulp. My heart is beating so fast that I can almost hear it through my chest. What I didn't mention about my parents is that because they are so obsessed with our teeth being pearly white, they are quite strict. And by strict I mean very strict. There was this one time, I refused to have a deep cleaning and before I knew it I was restrained to the dental chair. It was one of the worst appointments i've ever had with them.
I glance over at Brooke as we walk towards the clinic and she gives me a gentle smile and holds out her hand towards me, knowing how nervous I get around my parents and the clinic. I give her a small smile back and I accept her hand. Ollie looks at us "Come on you two." He smiles and nods his head in the direction of the entrance. We follow Ollie towards the entrance and before I know it i'm being hit with that sickening smell of fluoride.
