Tough Love Part 8

Hey MJSite users!  Hope youâ??re in the mood for so Lyric trauma.  (Lame).  Also on TV One if you have it, thereâ??s this musical month thingy coming up in June, and itâ??s including Michael.  I donâ??t know about the time or anything.
With love, Aariyan, and enjoy!

I guess everyone was in the mood to become their real selves again, because as soon as we settled, everyone was in normal clothes. 
Throughout the rest of my Sunday, which was about five, I just stayed in my room and sketched.
When I was putting my things away, and was about to get in bed, Dad came knocking at my door.
(Me) â??Come in.â?
He peeked in anyways, and came.  After he sat on the bed, he looked at me cautiously, and just above a whisper, he asked me about this afternoon in the restaurant.
 (Clarence) â??Nothing bad happened to you earlier, did it?â?
(Me) â??No, just avoiding people you have always taught me to avoid.  Thatâ??s all.â?
No need to whisper about it, so I didnâ??t, which semi-startled him.
(Clarence) â??Good to know.â?
And that was that.
Before he got a chance to leave the room completely, I had to ask him this vital question.	
(Me) â??Uh, Dad, stupid question you may say, but, I was wondering was Michael going to take and pick me up from school every day, or am I still continuing on my old routine?â?
(Clarence) â??Why would it change Lyric?â?
I got defensive real quick.
(Me) â??Thatâ??s exactly why Iâ??m asking you!  I already warned you that it may be a rhetorical question; but I needed the truth regardless.â?
He got back to that surrendering expression.
(Clarence) â??Lyric, itâ??s like ever since heâ??s came around, youâ??ve been â??in the cloudsâ??.â?
(Me) â??Fine, just forget it.  If I see a black limo stalking me all this week, Iâ??ll know to go with him, but if I donâ??t, then Iâ??ll just come home at whatever time I want.â?
(Clarence) he just couldnâ??t help himself.  He was laughing!  â??Okay, okay baby girl, same routine.  Oh, Michael told me of the mishap with your gums from yesterday.  Youâ??re going to the dentist tomorrow.â?
(Me) â??Nooooo!â?
(Clarence) â??Yeees!  Now get some sleep.â?
He kissed my forehead before I could say more, and went to bed.

I awoke with weirdity (a word I made up) in my stomach.  I wasnâ??t sure what it was.  I guess you could say it was the same weirdity I felt in my throat, a day before it started being sore.  I didnâ??t like this feeling one bit, so when I was heading downstairs, I was feeling pretty crabby.
I had on a black tank top over a white short-sleeved shirt, and some blue jean shorts.
(Dad) â??Want something to drink, Lyric?â?
(Me) I moaned my answer.
(Clarence) â??Are you okay?â?
(Me) â??Just a little funny in the tummy.â?
(Clarence) â??Youâ??ll be okay?â?
(Me) â??Iâ??m a soul survivor Dad.  Maybe Iâ??ll be able to make it through the day.â?
(Clarence) â??Need anything, always dial me at 911.â?
(Me) I managed a weak smile.  â??I know, Dad.â?

By lunch time, things still werenâ??t getting much better.  I felt myself digging my nails through the cafeteria table.  It was that bad.
I mustâ??ve been causing attention because a girl had to whisper a secret question to me.
(Julia) â??Cramps?â?
(Me) â??I donâ??t know.â?
I was actually in gym when we heard the faint announcement, saying â??Lyric Swan, can you report to the office, you are being checked outâ??.
I was going to take it easy in this period anyways; because of the way my stomach keeps going.
I changed from my basketball shorts and tee back to what I was wearing before.
As I was running to my locker to get the rest of my stuff, then to the office, I was trying to visualize what my dad added as an emergency number.  I wondered if he actually put â??Michael Jacksonâ??.  
Why wouldnâ??t he?
After all, Michael was just a guardian to me.
I was in no mood to face up to his smiling face.
When I got in there, the receptionist at the desk was smiling peacefully.  When she faced me, her expression still didnâ??t change.  Just got widen.
Michael could read my language today, obviously, because he didnâ??t dare bother me.

Michael looked at me once we go there.

(Michael) â??At our destination.â?  He smiled.  
Between closed teeth, I said â??Thank you.â?
I went in the dentist and signed my name.  Michael wore sunglasses, and my dadâ??s sweatshirt.

(?) â??Lyric Swan.â?
(Me) â??Oh, thatâ??s me.â?
(Michael) â??Iâ??ll go back there with you.â?
So we got up together, and went to my perky dentist for the day.
Her name tag was Reese.

(Reese) â??How has your day been so far?â?
I scrunched up my face.
(Me) â??Mushy.  Itâ??s been mushy.â?
(Reese) â??Okay.â?

As she checked my gums, she went on ahead and cleaned my teeth also.  I couldâ??ve just slapped her and her stupid grin off her face.  The one thing I hate for dentists to do is to dig there pliers in your gums.  That hurt!

(Reese) â??Now about your gum at the top of your mouth healedâ??to make sure it wonâ??t come nagging you again, Iâ??ll put this ointment in your mouth.  And so if you go scratching your mouth againâ??(she smiled)â??Iâ??m offering you this tube to-go.
(Me) â??Thank you.â?
(Reese) â??Itâ??s harmless though.  Your â??woundâ?? I mean.â?
(Me) â??Good, thank you.â?
(Reese) â??Youâ??re also wearing your retainer, right?â?
(Me) â??Proudly.â?
(Reese) â??Your old one is wearing out a little, so Iâ??m gonna have you get this one in three months.  Like a Christmas present from you to me.  For free.â?
(Me) â??Thanks again, Reese.â?
(Reese) â??My pleasure.  And thank you for being such a good boy Michael.  Why not grab you a gold coin and get you somethinâ?? sweet.â?
(Michael) â??Thank you, Reese.â?

Michael got a pic with her, she kissing him on the cheek, and in turn, he got a ball from the candy machine looking-thing and a ring.  I just got a ring that was black with red Target circles.

I know, not my most exciting chapters.  I felt no need to run-on, though.  That would be just too much.  Hope you bite into this and let your teeth sink.
