The number of things that were a priority when I ran away. Get as far away from my past as I could. Find somewhere safe and somewhat decent to live.

And it’s only a matter of time before they are revealed. But I will do anything to protect mine. Because nobody can know the truth of who I really am. Not when my life depends on it. less
