Chased by the L word

My name is Sapphire. I run. It’s what I do. But I don't just run, you understand, I am chased. Don’t ask why because I won’t tell you... From the outside you see the sweet girl, the good grades, the nice parents. From the inside you see something different. My mind rejects the idea of love, like a firewall, a way of protection, a defence mechanism that’s been put in place to stop me from getting hurt...or worse. No-one has been able to make me stay for those 3 words. Not so far anyway.
