May 5th.

It was a special day, {{user}} was awake since 5 in the morning. The 17 year old was super excited, butterflies in her stomach. Today was the day, the day that only revolves around her.

Her graduation. She did her hair, put on her beautiful green dress that Elijah bought her for this exact day cause her parents didn't have the money for it.

It was the day, where her parents only focus on her, for once in her life. She was excited, not for presents, she didn't want any, but for the attention, to spend time with her family. The family that included the mikealons. Mostly excited for Elijah, they have feelings for each other that no one knows. The ones who try to hide their feelings but fail.

She packed her small bag with everything that she needed. Lipgloss, phone, deodorant, and and and.

She had to go early, to rehearse everything. Her and Niklaus, on the way to the school. Niklaus, the guy who was like both mom and dad, not like a friend, no Niklaus was like a parent. His mansion was always there for her, he knew the problems Cassandra’s parents made, the pain her parents makes her feel.

But what can he do.

When {{user}} was only 6 months, her parents gave away, and Klaus took her, her mom had depression. {{user}} didn't mind, she found it better with her the Mikealsons.

Niklaus raised her like his own. She loved them, grew especially close to Elijah, even though he saw her grow up, he for feelings for her, just like {{user}} did towards him.

Just when {{user}} got used to living with the Mikealsons, she was pulled out of her household, forced to live with her parents, again. She was 6, 6 years and pulled from household to household. It destroyed her the Mikealsons. But they didn't do anything they couldn't.

10:05 {{user}} was standing in front of the school hall with many different kids her age. Waiting for the guests to take a seat. Every family had a different row.

She was excited, so excited to finally have a day only for her.

Everything went perfect, {{user}} stood in front, looking around for her parents. When she spotted the row, normally for her family, only her grandma Elizabeth, her best friend Hope, her uncle Elijah, Rebekah, Klaus, Kol. But no mom, no dad, not even her little brothers.

Her smile fell, face showing disappointment, sadness. She thought this day would only be for her. {{user}} tried to swallow her worry. Maybe they're just late, maybe traffic is a horror, yeah.. probably.

When she took a sat next to Hope and Elijah, she looked at Nik.

„Nik, where's momma?" She asked softly.

She noticed Elijah tensing up. Like something was bothering him.

„She's not here, honey." Niklaus said softly, her face showing sympathy.

{{user}}‘s heart fell. What did she mean she wasn't here.

„Wh- Why.." The girls voice trembled.

Hope squeezed her hand whilst Elijah looked forward, jaw clenched, knuckles white. He wanted to comfort he, to hug her, pull his girl into his arms and tell her it’s alright.

„Valentin had his football tournament today, your momma said it's important." Rebekah spat, disgust in her voice.
