I Will Leave You, In This Hopeful Spring

After a late shift ended, I realized someone was following me. I called my boyfriend for help, but on the other end he was laughing so hard he could barely stay upright. "Don't flatter yourself. Who'd chase you down in the middle of the night? You really think you're that pretty?" Before I could finish, he hung up on me. The footsteps behind me had already rushed in. I broke into a run, but two steps later someone grabbed my hair and shoved me down onto the ground.
