Chapter 21

Jenny

Since I woke up I’m having a hard time while eating, it’s like my brain doesn’t recognize my bite and sometimes I need to force my jaw to one side to be able to chew better. After Nate and I told Frank the truth and they left, I sat in front of the mirror afraid of what I was going to see and what I saw didn’t make me happy at all. I have two big gaps on my teeth but not in the front, more by the sides, and my upper teeth are covering my lower ones completely. And let’s be honest, I knew from the moment I saw that I would need braces again but then Frank arrived and I forgot.
He’s more handsome than ever, with his lips still a little marked where the face bows used to settle but wearing no headgear but with little silver brackets on his misaligned very white teeth and I could tell there was more just by seeing the position of his jaw. He gave me flowers, a bouquet of yellow daffodils. I’m so surprised that I hug him and it feels like I can only be happy with him by my side.
When he starts saying that Nate and I are together as a couple, I have to tell him that Nate and I are nor together but Nate decides to tell him he is gay and then I know that within seconds Nate will let the cat out of the bag and I freeze.
It's so unfair, I wanted to be the one to tell Frank, Nate shouldn’t have told my secret and he continued blabbing and even tells Frank about the day I almost kissed him and I call Nate to make a sign for him to stop talking but he continues and I have to call Nate again but it’s too late, Frank is looking at me with his gray eyes wide opened and asks me if it is true that I love him and I can’t lie so I just nod and I think I’ll cry because I know that rejection is coming in three… two… one.
And Frank kisses me. It’s my first kiss and his mouth is warm and I can feel his brackets with my lips and I don’t want to stop, I devour him seizing my very first kiss but Nate happens and the moment is broken. I’m so nervous that I start talking, Nate interrupts and tells more things and finally he goes away and hours later is Frank’s turn to go home.
We are going to have lunch together tomorrow, but lunch is a disaster. First, Frank arrives but he doesn’t look happy, it turns out that his teeth are tender and he is feeling a lot of pain, then I start eating and a piece of tomato jumped out off my mouth embarrassing me and I tell him I’m having problems since I woke up, then Frank suggests me talking to his orthodontist but I’m afraid of having braces again. When he speaks, he has a lisp, but lighter than when he had the rake, expanders, headgears and those ugly bands. I don’t want to have it all again, lisps, blisters, pain, or worse things like headgear even though I motivate Frank to wear his headgear, I even kissed him wearing it.
At dinnertime I had problems again and on Sunday I find the mouthguard I woke up with and take a good look at it. That’s what messed up with my teeth, it looks like a mouthguard in the front of my upper teeth, where it’s softer but the part that goes in the roof of my mouth is hard and has a metal piece. The part that holds my lower teeth is the opposite, it’s hard in the front and soft in the back and I even try to put it on, it fits very tightly and it seems it’s pulling my teeth inwards.

Chapter 22

Jenny


Nate has an appointment with his orthodontist, and I decide to go with him, maybe I have the chance to show the mouthguard to her. She’s a nice woman, tall, thin, blonde and looks around 35 years old. Dr. Williams tightens Frank’s braces, after that Frank introduces me. Immediately she asks me to seat in the torture chair, asks why don’t I wear braces, that I have an overbite, that I haven't worn my retainers, which is true and I finally show her the mouthguard and she confirms my suspicion, it was what damaged my teeth and when she asks if I want to start I say I want to think but agree to make the impressions.
When I saw the impressions, I could see that my lower teeth were behind my upper teeth. It was no surprise why I was having trouble when chewing. But at the same time, I don’t want to wear braces although I don’t think I have another choice.

“Can I talk to Frank, Dr. Williams?”

“Sure.”

When Dr. Williams leaves, I sit next to Frank, who is with his head down and I know he is in pain, we hug, and I start sobbing. It’s not fair. What have I done for that man to destroy my life like this? We need to know how Dr. Gonzalez snuck into the hospital and fitted the expander. And I have to decide if I go on and resume wearing braces or I keep on having trouble eating and with these gaps near my canines.
On the first day I woke up at home I took a good look in my teeth and noticed gaps between my canines and my bicuspids, exactly where the expander fitted in the hospital was split.

“Frank, what do you think? I don’t want to wear braces again, but I can’t continue with my mouth like this. And I’m afraid of having a panic attack for having my mouth full of something.”

“Jen, baby, it’th up to you. Tell her you don’t feel comfortable with acrylic appliantheth. Dr. Williamth taketh our opinionth into conthideration, maybe she thuggethtth thomething you feel comfortable with. And you can count on me. I’m trapped in thethe brathes for three yearth I gueth. If you want to, we can go through thith together.”

“So, you want me to wear them?”

“I jutht thaid that whatever you choothe I’m with you. When I thaw how my teeth were I dethided that I wanted to finish the treatment becauthe after all I’ve been through, I can’t let Dr.Rogerth win. But now it’th your turn to dethide, whatever you want, I’m here, with you.”

I guess Frank is right. It’s my decision and whatever I choose, I have Frank by my side. Frank... In three years with his breathtaking smile. Frank, who had a wonderful smile even when he was wearing those ugly bands. Frank, who is brave enough to continue with everything after living years in an orthodontic hell...

“Do you help me? Are you okay even if I have to wear headgear? And expander? And talk with a heavy lisp?”

“Theriouthly, Jenny? Look at me. Lithten to me. Do you think I’m not okay with headgear and lithps? I thought you didn’t like me to wear headgear when I’m with you, but am I thith dithguthting? Ith that it? And you feel embarrathed by my listhp?”

What did I say. When I look at him I don’t see his headgear, I don’t listen to his lisp. And now he thinks I’m embarrassed by him.

“No, baby, no. I’m sorry. I didn’t know how to express myself. I don’t feel embarrassed by you, nor disgusted, I’m just insecure. Will you help me? If I start wearing braces?”

“Yeth. Let’th call Dr. Williamth?”

Frank goes to the door Dr. Williams entered and knocks, she’s back a few minutes later.

“I’m here. So, Jenny. Let’s start?”

I have been adding the chapters to TheArchive as they have been posted.

It is interesting to see where the story has taken us so far and I am interested in seeing where it is going. Keep adding more to the story.

Possible plot twist= new Ortho is actually Jenny’s stepmom that’s made her endure the appliances early on.  And now she has to go through it all over again.  Just an idea

Chapter 23

Jenny

She asks me to sit and open my mouth, while she does a deep cleaning, she explains me how she works.

“Jenny, here you are the one who will tell how your treatment will be, I will use my knowledge to give you what you want. Of course, you will have to make choices because we can’t have everything but in the end of the day, you call the shots, mostly. So, tell me. It can be an easy treatment, that is painless, I try to work only with removable appliances so that it’s easier for you to deal with them. A fast one hurts but gives the fastest results, a cheap one with cheaper material, fewer adjustments or a regular that’s, well, the usual, the one the parents usually choose for their children. What do you want to know? About the time, the price, the appliances used, the results?”

“The time and the results mostly.”

“First of all, neither of you are eligible for invisalign. I’m going to use Frank’s case to explain how each one would be, since your case is not exactly like his but will take the same amount of time. The easy approach would take about 15 years and the results will never be what you expect, personally, I don’t like this easy mode so I’d recommend another professional, if this is the chosen treatment, it is with fixed or removable appliances hardly ever tightened, almost invisible and easy-to-use. The other approaches have the best results but the cheap would take about 8 years because sometimes they break, or the supplier don’t deliver the orders, or they take a long time to arrive and we sometimes have to wait for auctions or sales, to buy these cheaper materials, this is not what I recommend as well, one boy who chose this approach found a note inside the strap of his headgear asking for help with the words “we are forced to work against our will, please help us and notify human rights” and since then I refuse working with these materials, I only told you this exists because I have to show you all the options. The regular takes between 5 and 7 years, depending on his compliance and the fast mode takes about 3 years but it’s the most expensive and you have to be strong to bear the pain and discomfort.”

“I… I don’t feel comfortable wearing removable appliances, the mouthguard, for example, I panicked when I felt it in my mouth. And I want it to be fast.”

“Are you sure? I guess you’ve noticed that Frank’s treatment is not being easy.”

“We will help each other.” I tell Dr. Williams looking at Frank.

“It’s too bad you don’t want anything made of acrylic; twin blocks would be great for us. But that’s okay, let’s start. I’ll check with the lab to see if we can start now.”

Dr. Williams leaves and Frank holds my hands.

“I wish I could kith you.”

“So, kiss me.”

“But the headgear…”

“You know I don’t mind.”

We start kissing with his facebow in the way and suddenly Dr. Williams says that things may become more difficult and I know I won’t like to know what my next three years hold.

“Jenny, we will start today but I need you to come tomorrow to install some other appliances.”

“Can’t we wait and start next week?”

“As I told Frank, you’d better start as fast as we can, I want you to start today. The spacers will hurt but tomorrow we start with your lower expander and the other things. I still have to study your case.”

I’m frightened. I’ve already had an expander and I hated it, but I lay down again, Frank had worse than I did, I just need to be brave. I open my mouth and in less than 30 minutes I have brackets in all my teeth and spacers between some lower teeth.

“Great! We won’t need spacers on your upper molars, I’ll just install the bands and we’ll be almost done… Jenny, a bite plate would be great for you. The acrylic part is small, do you want to see how it is?”

“Yeah, I guess.”

She gives me something pink with metal arms ending in rings, she asked me if I would like to try it on and I agree. I hear a click and feel something behind my upper teeth. It’s big but doesn’t cover the roof of my mouth entirely, just the front and the lateral. She tells me it’s difficult in the beginning but I’ll get used to, she explained that although it’s removable I should wear it all the time, taking it out just for cleaning and that I must eat with it on. She teaches me how to put in on and take it off and it’s easy, it’s like a retainer but only behind my front teeth and it’s held firmly on my second bicuspids. Dr. Williams says that we’re almost done but she wants to see me tomorrow to install some other appliances.

“Okay, Jenny, now, I want you to pay attention to this: you chose the fast mode which means you must comply. It’s going to hurt but by tomorrow I need to know if this amount of force is the right one or else it will hurt you or damage the appliance I will install tomorrow, so I need you to be wearing it for 18 hours. It’s 5 pm, our appointment is tomorrow at 10 am. I’ll put on your headgear, but you are not allowed to remove it until tomorrow. Do you think you can do it?”

I can’t believe it. Headgear again. Me wearing headgear and Frank will see it. I can feel my heart start beating faster but then I feel Frank is holding my hand, making me understand he will be by my side. I open my eyes and see him, his beautiful gray eyes I love so much, the metal arms coming out of his mouth, the big neck strap and I know that I can do it because I have him. Dr. Williams gives me two Advils and a glass of water, I take them, open my mouth, and in a few minutes I’m ready to leave.

 We leave and I’m ashamed, I feel all eyes are on me. My father will see me wearing braces again and I’ll have to explain what happened.

“How are you feeling, babe?”

“I’m worried. My father will thee me wearing bratheth again and I’ll have to exshplain about the mouthguard that wathent a mouthguard…”

I have this lisp now, and the headgear. I can’t believe I agreed to all these contraptions.
 
“If you want me to, I’ll be there to help you.”

“I don’t know, I don’t want you to thee me with thith ugly headgear, I feel tho ugly and ridiculouth. I underthtand if you want to break up with me. Who would love being with thomeone with all thith metal? And I hate thith bite plate. I thound pathetic. I look like a lother.

“We have exthactly the same brathes, Jenny, maybe you should break up with me for the thame reathon. If you don’t want to go on let’th go back and you athk her to remove your brathes…”

“No, I’m jutht nervouth”

We arrive at my building and Frank is very quiet, I don’t want to say anything. I open the door, leave and close the door but Frank doesn’t. He calls me and I think he wants a kiss before going home, I lean over the car window but when I see him, he has his eyes full of tears.

“Jenny, I can thee it now. You are free to dethide if you want to go on with thith or not. I wanted to go on becauthe I want, one day, to thmile not being ashamed of my thmile, to show mythelf that even thuffering all I’ve thuffered, in the end, I won. But I finally knew what you thought about me all thith time… You don’t need to pity me and be with thith ridiculouth ugly lother you think I am. It will dethtroy me, but Jenny, good-bye.”

Chapter 24

Jenny

I thought that Frank was going to stay here with me, but he misunderstood what I said and left me alone, to spend the first night with all these braces in my mouth. I run to the elevator, get into the apartment and run to my bedroom, crying my eyes out but I can’t hide in the pillow because of this damn headgear. My father gets into my room and he’s a little surprised.

“Jenny, what happened? You know this is not the end of the world. Since you woke up, I saw your teeth had moved. It’s okay you decided to take care of it again and you’re so lucky you have Frank by your side. You can go through this together.”

When my father talks about Frank, I feel my heart shrinking.

“Dad, he thaid that I think he ith a ridiculouth ugly lother and left.”

“And you did?”

“No, I thaid I am. Becauthe of theth damn brathes, this ugly headgear and thith ridiculouth bite plate that maketh me a lother.”

“You said this to him? ARE YOU INSANE, JENNY? The boy took care of you, he spent a year waiting for you to wake up and in the end, call him a loser?”

“But dad. I didn’t call him a lother, I wath feeling thorry for mythelf. I never thaid it wath about him.”

I hate this bite plate, it’s annoying, I can’t pronounce the words the right way, so I take it off.

“At least you can take part of your braces off, he can’t. You are an adult, so act like the grown up you are and think.”

Dad leaves my room and I don’t understand. Why is dad and Frank so sensitive. I’m the one who should be this touchy. I call Nate and the damn headgear gets in the way so I put it on speaker and tell Nate what has happened and he doesn’t even talk to me, he just hang up and when I call again John answers  and calls me thoughtless. What’s going on with these men?
Now that I won’t talk to anyone, I put on the bite plate again and lay down and think about what happened. What did I do that made Frank upset? I try to figure out, but nothing comes to mind. I call Frank because we need to talk but it’s Nate who answers and tells me Frank doesn’t want to talk to me, and he agreed with him and that Frank did the right thing breaking up with me. Whaaaaaat? Frank broke up with me? But he only said I called him a loser and said goodbye. And then I remember he says that it would destroy him, was he talking about breaking up? I start crying and that’s what I do until I sleep.

I wake up at 5 am with lots of pain and an awful taste in my mouth, my molars are throbbing, my whole mouth hurts, my head hurts. I want to take a shower but I remember that I can’t because of the headgear so I just brush without taking the headgear and the bite plate off. I’m hungry so I go to the kitchen and find a banana but while eating I notice that I can’t touch my back teeth so I have to bite the banana with the bite plate. After that I brush, this time taking off the bite plate to brush it. At about 8 father knocks and tells me I have a visitor and I hope it’s Frank but it’s John.

“What were you thinking, Jenny? Do you have any idea how hurt Frank is? And now Nate is there with him, drunk. Both of them. You know they are more connected than twins and Nate responds to Frank’s feelings so now my boyfriend is devastated. Neither of them want to talk to you. I’m crossing a line here, I’m jeopardizing my relationship and my job but I think you don’t fully comprehend what you said. And I’m here just because I can put myself in Frank’s shoes. Nate makes some jokes that aren’t exactly funny. Not for me.”

“But I wathn’t talking about him”. ( I take off the bite plate) I was talking about me, this damn headgear that I have to wear until the next appointment, this ridiculous bite plate. I’m pathetic.”

“Yes, you are. You said you are ugly because of the headgear, the same that Frank wears. And your speech is ridiculous because of the bite plate that is easier to wear than Frank’s since you can take it off and he can’t. And all these braces turns you into a loser. Braces very similar to his, except that you don’t wear elastics as he does. You called yourself a loser for having braces that compared to what he had, is almost nothing. The guy who, for years, wore an Interlandi, a lower headgear, j-hooks, top and bottom expanders, elastics, a lip bumper and a rake at the same time and instead of feeling sorry for himself, he showed himself to the world going to the hospital every day to take care of you. There were days he didn’t want you to wake up because he didn’t want you to see him with all that junk, he is one if the owners of the company but nobody respected him because of the braces, at the hospital he heard more than once that he was lucky the girlfriend was sleeping or else he would be single because no girl would be with him and that disgusting mouth. He was so worried about you that he put down most of the weight because of you, the rake just made things worse. And now, Frank is happy, his eyes are shinning, well, he was happy, his eyes were shinning because what I saw yesterday… was the saddest person I have ever seen. I just came here because you need at least to apologize. And to warn you. Nate turned on his over-protective mode. Don’t try to talk to Frank. Don’t call Nate. Nate won’t be as nice as I was.”

Chapter 25

Jenny

John finishes me and goes away. In a few minutes I have to go to Dr. Williams, and it makes me think about Frank. He didn’t understand. He thought I was talking about him, but I wasn’t. My father didn’t say anything, he just asked if I was sure about wearing braces again because I needed to be sure that was what I wanted because I can’t be unpleasant to other people because of my decisions and I know he’s talking about Frank. I need to find a way to apologize. Flowers maybe?
My father said he wanted to go with me and he even asked if Dr. Williams works with older clients because he is thinking about doing something about his teeth, my father never smiles in pictures because his teeth are very crooked. We arrive early, sit in the waiting room. An older woman and a little girl leave Dr. Williams’s room, the woman with big metal brackets, an Interlandi with pink straps and the little girl looking like Elsa with the mouth full of light blue plastic with glitter from where metal whiskers come out to meet light blue straps very shiny once the straps are also full of glitter at the same time as an old man arrives wearing a facemask. As soon as mother and daughter go away, Dr. Williams asks me to come in.
It’s not good. Not good at all. Dr. Williams wanted me to wear the twin blocks but I don’t feel comfortable with acrylic appliances so there’s no way to fix this overbite without headgear, like Frank’s, just a cervical neck strap but she wants me to wear it for at least 18 hours a day and now I also have a Herbst and I hated it. It’s very big and even with my mouth closed you can see it’s full of something and I think I look like a hamster hiding its food. Dr. Williams tells me to rinse my mouth with warm salt water about four times a day and taught me what to do if it disengages and that if I want, I can put cotton rolls in my mouth to sleep better but that I must wear the headgear for at least 12 hours this first day. She told me that my cheeks will be sore, and it will take about a week for me to adapt. About the bite plate, the good news is that she gave up on it, she said that I wasn’t wearing it as I should but now with the Herbst appliance it wouldn’t be necessary, My father asks me to go home by myself, he will take some time discussing his treatment.
I’m so sad. I wanted to have Frank by my side but he’s not and it’s all my fault. The headgear makes my molars hurt like hell, the Herbst makes my mouth full of metal and it makes these annoying noises whenever I eat, speak, yawn. It has what she called a transpalatal arch on the top and lower expander. The lower expander is so thick that is very noticeable. It is irritating to clean; food gets stuck, I wouldn’t say I have a lisp, but you can tell that I’m with lots of things inside my mouth because my speech is slurred. And the pain… God, everything aches, I’m taking lots of painkillers.
It’s been two months. Two months sending flowers but all of them Nate threw away and I don’t know if Frank saw them, or my notes, letters. I’ve sent an email, but John replied saying he was the responsible for Frank’s emails. I tried to call but it was disconnected. All the 300 times I tried. My father decided to sell his house in the other city and bought a house with lots of bedrooms, swimming pool, a big garden, he’s still deciding if he will start his treatment or not but I’m still in my apartment. Living by myself again, helping my father with our new marketing agency.
Today I have an appointment with Dr. Williams, and she mentioned that Frank is coming today for an adjustment before he travels. She tightens my braces, says everything’s doing great and faster than she thought it would be and I leave. In the waiting room there’s a blonde girl, very beautiful, a beautiful smile with little clear brackets while I have this metal mouth, that squeaks all the time I open or close my mouth, and this ugly headgear that I wear almost all the time, because I want things to be fast. I want to see Frank so badly that I wait in the car. Nate brought him so maybe if I wait I can give Frank a ride and talk to him. He looks great, his headgear shining, it suits him, different from mine that makes me uglier. His body is great, he looks happy while I am destroyed. Thirty minutes later he opens the door, the beautiful blonde comes out and him after her. It kills me and I leave, heartbroken.
My father calls with the latest information about Dr. Gonzalez/ Rogers. He was involved in a car crash five months ago. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t looked for Frank after installing the rake.

Chapter 26

Frank

Two months. Two months that she forgot that I exist, which is not surprising at all since she thinks I’m this ugly, disgusting loser. She has never called, which means everything was a lie. That amazing week we were together, all lies.
In the first two days I was too drunk to think. The next two days I was hungover Then I came back to my life. Work, work work. I started going to the gym and girls hit on me now. A lot. But I still feel devastated. She forgot about me, so why can’t I forget about her? Nate doesn’t know about her as well, neither does John. Nothing in her social media, I’ve been talking to Paul, but he doesn’t say anything, I just know he moved to a house and opened a new marketing agency here.
I made a new friend, Jacob. I was waiting for my turn with Dr. Williams and this boy arrived, wearing such impressive braces that when I saw him I thought for a second that Dr. Rogers was the responsible for that but at the end of the day, he was just one of the crazy people who chose Dr. Williams’s fast treatment which means wearing many appliances combined to achieve results faster. He arrived early and his appointment is after mine. When I talked to him he was puzzled at first and said that nobody talked to him, after a few minutes, Dr. William’s assistant said she was not feeling well and rescheduled our appointments, so I offered him a ride and told him my story.
We became friends, sometimes he goes to my house to play video games. He had a severe underbite and a heart condition so it’s not safe to have the surgery, he might never come back from the anesthesia, so the treatment is his only chance to fix his bite. He wears a tandem appliance with lower tongue crib attached to the bottom part and an expander attached to the upper part, a big protraction facemask to bring his upper teeth forward, lower facebow attached to cervical neckstrap to pull his lower teeth backward. He started with Dr. Williams at 17 and decided for the fast mode to fix everything before going to college but it wasn’t possible, now that he is 19 and started college, Dr. Williams was nice letting him not use the facemask and the headgear at least during his classes and just because his treatment is working.
He’s the only person I talk about Jenny because Nate can’t even hear her name. Jake had a girlfriend in high school. They started dating in their first year; while she was traveling during Christmas holidays, he started with the braces at 15 years old, during his first treatment, that didn’t work. After he started the treatment with Dr. Williams, the ex-girlfriend started dating his best friend while he had to stop playing basketball because of the braces, so he understands more about being heartbroken plus it was him who showed me that Jenny probably wasn’t talking about me because maybe she was being self-conscious and insecure about wearing braces again. I wanted to call her many times but I wanted her to be the first to give in, but she never called, never showed up, she never talked to Nate, not that he would talk to her.
My parents are traveling to renew their vows and surprisingly they invited me, I called Dr. Williams and told her about the trip, trying to convince her to reduce the headgear time because I want to ski. Nate’s parents are going with us, but Nate won’t, he wants to stay with John. Dr. Williams asked me when the trip is, that is in two weeks and she wants to see me today.
Nate takes me to the clinic because John borrowed my car to make Nate a surprise and I had to lie that it was in the car wash. I arrive and almost immediately Dr. Williams calls me in, but it hurts getting in her room, I smell perfume and it's like Jenny’s. About the trip, I told her that I want to ski, and we discussed some appliances and I guess a Herbst appliance is a good choice, but she still wants me to wear the headgear for at least 12 hours. She made the impressions to make the appliance and asked me to come tomorrow. When I leave, there’s a blonde girl wearing a combination headgear near the door and I run to open it for her, I’m a gentleman after all. Nate is late, the blonde girl offers me a ride and I give her the directions to my place, she invites herself for a drink and we go to a restaurant but we only drink, she had her braces tightened and got her headgear and I don’t feel like eating, in the restaurant she sees that all eyes are on us, I reply that she just has to get used to and that it’s not so bad. We have one drink she takes me home and leaves.

Chapter 27

Frank

On the other day, I go to the clinic again and Dr. Williams installs the thing and now my mouth is a bit more metallic. The first day is the worst but I’m used to adapting to my braces. The ski trip had to be postponed because of a new client my company wants to lure so we decided to travel six months from now. Unfortunately, I have to keep wearing this horrible thing. I wanted Dr. Williams to remove the Herbst, but she said that if she did, it wouldn’t be possible to reinstall it.
During these six months, Nate made me go out to meet new people but I prefer staying home, except that when Alice and I have adjustments on the same day, we go out after that for a drink. She’s a nice girl. Jacob goes to my place sometimes. He’s counting the days to have his tandem removed, within a month. During these six months I saw Jenny twice, the day of the first after-adjustment-drink with Alice and the other I was leaving the clinic while she was parking, it was my last appointment before the trip.
I meet my parents at the airport, we spent a month skiing and having fun, I even went on a date and it was a disaster because first I called her Jenny, then I called her Alice, then she saw me eating and finally the drunk girl slept while I was telling her that Star Wars and Star Trek are different things.
My family and I come back and the first thing I do is go to Dr. Williams for her to remove the Herbst appliance because I don’t like it at all, I prefer my bite plate, my headgear, my elastics, not that I’m not wearing them but I miss having only them, without this noisy squeaky thing. She says that it would be good if I kept wearing it and wants me to reconsider and wins me when she says that it will reduce my treatment in almost one year but I have to continue wearing it for five more months, I asked if she could at least remove the headgear but she only agreed to remove the bite plate while I have the Herbst on, and she removes it immediately. It’s easier to talk although a little slurred.
I leave Dr. Williams’s room and Jenny is in the waiting room. A little girl looking like a ten-year-old Elsa wearing huge blue braces and sparkling high pull headgear and a woman in a pink Interlandi open the toilet’s door and immediately enter Dr. Williams room. Talk about awkward.

“Frank… may I talk to you?”

She’s so beautiful. She gained weight and now is more like the chubby girl I fell in love with. That’s what made me break up with her. I’ve always loved her, just the way she is, all chubby but curvy. But I wanted her to be the first to give in and now she did…

“Why bother?”

“Frank… please. Listen to me. We need to talk.”

“After nine monthss? Don’t you think it’ss a little late?”

“I’ve been trying to talk to you, I ssent a whole garden to you, many notess, lotss of letterss, and an email until John replied ssaying he read all the emails first so I shouldn’t bother ssending another because you wouldn’t read it.”

“Did you?”

“Yes… please, Frank. Talk to me.”

“Can it be another day? I’m late for a meeting. Call me.”

“I don’t have your new number.”

“New number? I didn’t change my number” (Nate… Nate is unbelievable. How could he?) “I call you. I guess I don’t have my new number either.”

I head to my car, drive to Nate’s. He has a lot to explain. And John… he does read my emails first and I feel I need to check what Jenny told me, maybe I need a new assistant.

Chapter 28

Jenny

After seeing Frank, I gave up on my appointment and went to my father’s house, I need to talk to someone. I get there and my father is with the private investigator he hired and said he was going to call me. It’s about what he discovered in his investigation. My father asks the investigator to have dinner with us.
Dr. Rogers/Gonzalez was found in a mental institution. He lost part of his brain in the car accident, the same that distorted my ex-stepmother’s face and broke her hip and leg in several places. He is delusional and says the aliens are going to abduct him and the only way he can be saved is with metal or else he will float. He said the crazy man is always covered in aluminum foil and the doctors told our investigator that when he saw one of the nurses wearing braces he ran after her because he wanted to steal the woman’s braces to save himself from the aliens, so they fit him bands, double headgear and a facemask. He lost the ability to swallow and everyone can see him drooling around. The doctors are considering fitting orthopedic braces to keep him calm.
Dad's ex-wife, Sherry,  now works at a small grocery store and hides from the world. She knew about my accident while visiting the director of the hospital with whom she was having an affair. I was being examined and everything was fine, I’d gotten away just with some bruises, but the timing was terrible.
Sherry saw me arriving at the hospital and while they were examining me, Sherry, who was leaving when she saw me being led to the emergency room, came back to the director’s office, telling him how I made her suffer, how evil I was, that my father used to abuse the poor woman, who had to run away from that hell, without money nor clothes, she just wanted compensation. She wanted payback for all the suffering and tried to convince her lover to keep me in the hospital and give the money my father would pay to her, as a reward. The director, in love with the woman, agreed to teach them a lesson, then she suggested him to keep me there for a long time and it would work as long as the director himself took care of me.
That’s how they kept me sleeping, the exams were fake so there was no way anyone would discover her coma was induced. A few months before my accident, Sherry talked Gonzalez into making a mouthguard that caused bite problems so that he had more clients and that’s what Gonzalez did. Dressed as a nurse she took my impressions and Gonzalez made it, but he didn’t know to whom it was. She gave the mouthguard to the hospital director, who told my father that I needed it and he also turned the key every day for six months. He even made a fake card, to mislead Frank or dad.
One day, Sherry traveled with Gonzalez for a weekend away and they crashed the car, both drunk, coming back from a party. The director never knew why Sherry never returned from her trip and after a while, he started bringing me back. Sherry told the private investigator that she never liked me, that’s why she did all she did, but now she’s ugly, poor and with her scarred face and the leg several inches shorter than the other makes it difficult for her to walk without feeling lots of pain. At least she has a job and struggles to pay the rent in a shabby trailer. That’s why we had to pay her fifty grand in cash for her to tell the truth.

Chapter 29

Frank


I knock the door and John opens it, letting me in. He’s such a good assistant that it would be very bad if he was intercepting the emails Jenny sent me.

“Where’ss Nate?”

“In the bedroom, I thought it was pizza.”

John leaves to tell Nate I’m here and I’m a little worried because I’m afraid of what I’m going to hear. If Jenny sent me the messages it means we could be together now, that it was just a fight, that she was really sorry and Nate crossed the line once again, that John betrayed my trust and I’ll have to fire him. 

“Frank, hey brother, you came just to have our pizza, right?”

“Actually, I just came to see if you received something for me, you know, when you were with me in my apartment?”

“Me??? No, hehe. Why you ask?”

“Alice told me today that she sent me flowers when we met, to thank me for the drink, but I never thanked so she never said, but today we were talking and she told me, but I never received anything, so I decided to ask you, because maybe you received and forgot to give me.”

“Oh, it was Alice’s? Because the ones that that witch, Jenny sent you I threw away. All of them. I could have opened a flower shop.”

Thank you for the big mouth, Nate.

“And you, John, received any emails? Something not work-related?”

John understood.

“Just one email, and I replied, telling that she should reconsider what she said, I saved it, if you want to see.”

“I’d rather have received it, and you were my assistant to take care of the things at work, not about my personal life.”

“Were?”

“Bye, John, bye, Nate.”

“Frank! Nate, Frank knows, about the things Jenny sent him. You’ve just told him.”

I go away and I’m in a hurry. There’s a place I need to be. While I drive to Jenny’s the private investigator calls me and tells me everything he discovered, finally this chapter in my life is over. I arrive but she’s not there, so I sit and wait.
I start thinking about the days Jenny and I spent together, when everything was new, awkward and embarrassing, the time we lost, the things I lived after we broke up, getting drunk for the first time, the hangover, the ski trip, the awful date in Aspen, Alice, playing video games with Jake, happy hours with people from work, the girls at the gym and suddenly I’m not so angry at Nate.
The truth is that I needed to live a little because I didn’t know anything before because my life was kind of suspended when I was 16 years old going to college with unbelievable braces and restarted at 22, after discovering about Dr. Rogers. I didn’t know how to talk to other girls, I didn’t know how to act in social gatherings, I didn’t know what I wanted in my life, I just wanted to get through the day with those awful braces and I don’t even like to remember when I wore those disgusting bands, those things coming out of my mouth, making it impossible for me to close it, the expanders and the f***ing rake, the looks, but how people treated was what hurt the most, not that these braces aren’t awful somehow because the pressure I feel all the time isn’t exactly easy to put up with and the pain is maddening sometimes but people treat me better.
All I knew was being protected and loved by Nate and Jenny, who did their best to make things easier for me. Now I know more things, everything is more balanced, I do things by myself, take care of my life, I’m finally more independent. And I know what I want. So, I stand up and leave.
