“Bette…Amy’s school is on the phone” James said

“Oh right…Thanks James” Bette smiled picking up the phone “Hello Bette Porter speaking…Yes that’s no problem at all I’ll be there in five minutes…thank you”

Bette gathered her things and left the office. She arrived at Amy’s school and made her way along to the school office. Amy was sitting there with an ice pack on her face.

“Wow what happened to you” Bette asked removing the Ice pack from her face to see no bruises or marks, she looked confused.

“I have toothache Mama and they can’t get a hold of my mum” Amy said

“Oh” Bette said

Amy had always been terrified of the dentist ever since she was little, she knew Amy must be in a lot of pain if she was even bringing up the fact she had toothache.

They walked out to Bette’s car.

“Sweetheart you do know I need to take you to the dentist to get it fixed” Bette explained

“But Mama I’m scared of the dentist” Amy sighed

“I know you are sweetie but you can’t continue in pain so Im sorry we need to take you” Bette stated

Bette took out her mobile and dialled a number.

“Hello this is Bette Porter im phoning regarding my daughter Amy…I’ve just actually picked her up from school she’s in a lot of pain and I was just wondering if it would be possible to fit her in for an emergency appointment…That’s great we’ll be about 15 minutes”

Bette started the engine and drove the 10 minute drive to the dentist. She knew Amy was panicking as always so she decided the silence would be good. She parked the car.

“Let’s go then” Bette said

Amy reluctantly got out the car and walked with Bette. Bette put her arm around her to comfort her as they walked in. She felt Amy shaking as she walked over to the receptionist.

“Hi im Bette porter I phoned in”

“Hiya if you just fill in these forms and take a seat the dentist will call her”

“Thanks” Bette smiled

She sat next to Amy and began to fill in the form.
