The silence of the night made the feeling ten times worse.
A cold shiver crawled up my neck, and before | knew it, | was running
| didn't stop until | reached the car waiting at the curb. The driver glanced at me, out of breath and wide-eyed,
and chuckled. "You didn't need to run-I'm not in a hurry," Neither was I. | was just scared out of my mind.
| turned back to look at the alley | had just sprinted from. It was empty. Nothing there.
But those footsteps-clear as day-had followed me, Someone had been there.
Now, sitting in the safety of the car, | regretted not turning around earlier, not confronting whatever it was.
The first thing | did was call Lena. After hearingout, she laughed. "Sounds like you ran into a ghost in the
middle of the night."
A ghost? Yeah, right.
| was about to tell her how ridiculous that sounded when she added, "Or maybe it was a perverted ghost."
Okay, fine. Dim alleys and late nights were a setup for creeps, not ghosts. But if it was sstalker, wouldn't

drinking," Lena sounded like a concerned mom. "Got it," | mumbled, brushing her off.

"Open the door! Now!" | yelled.
The driver unlocked it, and the second | heard the click, | shoved it open and jumped out, not even thinking

Bad idea,
My foot twisted, and | went down hard, slamming onto my knees. Pain shot up my legs like a lightning bolt, and
for a second, my vision blurred with white-hot stars.

All that was left was the ache in my scraped knees, the sting spreading sharp and raw, and the overwhelming
weight in my chest.
| couldn't hold it in anymore. The tears cfast and ugly, pouring out as | sat there on the ground.
It felt like the pain had finally cracked something open-the strength I'd been clinging to wasn't there anymore.
The driver, visibly shaken, called Mr. Seth, who showed up and insisted | go to the hospital.
Lena was the one who cleaned and dressed the wounds on my knees.
When she heard why | had fallen, she raised an eyebrow. "You really think you saw Hayden? Are you sure it
wasn't just the alcohol talking?"
