At about 6p.m. I am waiting nervously at the dentist in mexico.
I'm not getting braces back home because they are way too expensive there.
So I traveled to mexico, and am going to get my braces pretty soon.

My older brother, christian, went first because he knew I was afraid. So now I wait patiently and nervously in a black chair in the waiting room. I flip through T.V channels while I'm waiting, and stop on a music channel, where they often play P!ATD, so I just leave it there. The people around me stare at me, and back at the T.V.
I keep turning over to see if Christian has come out yet, a few minutes later, he does. I go over to him and hug him, take a look at his braces, and when he tells me it didn't hurt him, go in.

The dentist is dressed in a regular t-shirt and jeans. He must be somewhat unproffesional. Which scares me.

He puts this seperator in my mouth, and I gag for a few seconds, while he puts on my braces, I keep thinking about people that I know, what will they think about my braces?
The rubber band proccess hurts a bit, but it doesn't last. He removes the thing from my mouth and I stand up and go back to my brothers. Heh. That wasn't bad.

But as soon as we get home, the pain starts to creep up on me. It's almost like a headache but in your teeth. I could sleep that night, which was good.

I wake up, and there really isnt anything to feel. All I feel is pain. My brother, Christian, hugs me and goes off to school for three hours. But sometimes the 3 hours he's gone feel like forever. While he's at school, My grandmother and I go the drop off some bank stuff. We go to the store, and since me and my brother both got braces, I buy him and icecream, and brace cleaners. Becuase who can forget that stuff? c:

We get home, and he arrives a while later, and since he is such a good person, he pays me back and thanks me for the icecream. We watch T.V. For a short ammount of time... And then we go to church. :c
Lets just say I'm not a big fan of church. I love god and all, but church is not my thing, If I do a single thing wrong, I get frowned upon. So no, I despise church. Everyone cries at church, while I'm stuck on the floor wondering what's going on. Another thing is, the church sayings are in spanish! So I really don't understand a thing!!! :c

After church, we get home around 8, and Christian tells me that his teeth hurt a bit, and I just shrug it off, knowing that it will probably wear off in a while; but it doesn't.

I serve him soup, but he hardly eats it becuase his teeth hurt badly.
My grandmother gives him a pain killer with water, but he chokes on it, and just doesn't get better. He says he is going to go lay down for a while. After time, I walk over to him, he is flat on the bed and I can see tears in his eyes about to form. It must hurt him badly. I walk to the bathroom and cry silently, hoping noone will hear me. I just sit there curled up into a ball and cry for my dear brother. I don't want him to feel any pain. I wish he will get better in the morning.

I wait in there for a while, letting the tears dry, and letting my face go back to normal, hiding the fact that I was crying. After that, I go back to the room and kneel down beside him. I take his head in my hands and kiss his forehead, and fix his hair. As I stand up to leave, I hear him whisper a small "thank you" and those two words help me sleep at night. But even as I'm sleeping, I'm still crying for him.

We all wake up and Christian tells us he feels much better, which puts a big smile on my face.

Wishes really do come true.
