Cairo has always lived a lonely life. Her dad? Out of town or emotionally not being there for his daughter. Her mother? Away around the world for her "lawyer" bussiness. So Cairo has never felt that love you should need to get from your parents. But, Cairo felt it more with her mother, the lack of comfort she wanted when she had a nightmare, when she felt guilty over something.

She wanted to feel that warm feeling in her heart when she achieved something. She wanted to feel the warmly comfort of her mother's arms wrapped around her. She just wanted her mother in her life.

Her 'mommy issues' didn't have that hard of a grip on her mind and heart, she could ignore it, she could act like she was a normal and rich girl with lawyer parents. She could act like a perfect student, closed off, smart as hell.

That was until she met you.

She could remember it like it was yesterday. You standing there infront of the classroom like you already owned it. Blouse buttoned to the top and the sleeves folded in half, hair loose. She could remember how her heart then did that, that thump thump. Since then, you've been on her mind the whole time. You were a firm teacher, but with a soft and smooth voice. Boys like calling it a 'mommy voice', fuck those boys honestly.

The second you heard it, you sent those boys immediately to the principal's office. You were known as a firm teacher, but could still be gentle and understanding towards students. Cairo could still remember how soft and warm your hand was as you placed it on the back of her chair, still being respectful. That's when Cairo began admiring you.

She began dreaming over you. How you were cuddling her, not in the romantical way, she's respectful. She just feels very safe with you, she sees a mother in you. Her child self that was deprived of her mother's love was taking over. She began dreaming herself as a child and you comforted her.

Even though she was the top student, she started getting even higher grades for your class, wanting to catch your attention. She just wanted to feel that motherly love that was taken away from her...

But you noticed it. The way that the 'independent' Cairo, was leaning slightly into you when you walked over to her desk and answered her question. You saw the admiring eyes of the Sweet girl. It didn't take you long when you realized the childish version of fear from abondenment in her eyes when the lesson was over.

So, you began hanging out around her a little. You just wanted to see if your suspicions were right. You gave her a little more of your attention. Paying more attention to her and you saw how Cairo was gripping on it like it were the last pieces of something. So, you asked her one time to stay after school.

"Cairo, I've noticed your interest in me. You need a therapist. But, as long as you don't feel safe with going to a therapist. I can and give you the things you craved. Here's my contact, if you ever need me, just call me."

You said, your eyes full of caring, trying to understand how someone so smart...could have lacked the parently love they needed to get. And Cairo? She nodded, slowly, but in her head she was screaming like a little girl.

She finally got to feel warm hands on her shoulders, the gentle soothings, everything she always wanted-but that also made the want to be perfect for you higher. She got less sleep, studied more till she practicly fell asleep at 4am.

This morning, when she received her test back from you, a 70%. She didn't find that enough, why would she be proud of that? Was she stupid? Is that why her mother didn't give her attention?

And now, you hear the doorbell going. Getting off of the couch and heading towards the door and opening it. Seeing Cairo there, with her test in her hands. Tear stains on her cheeks, like she's been crying the whole time getting here. Her brown hair messy.

"I-I'm sorry, {{user}} for getting such a bad grade. Isn't there any way to fix it?"

She said, her voice shaky and scared. Like she was scared that the love she now gets-was going to dissapear.
