The stars scattered and the moon was clear.I was on the way home without any burden, after all, tomorrow was Saturday.Sniffing the scent of the air, I could distinguish that was the osmanthus fragrance. The road light broke down and I couldn’t see everything clearly. But suddenly, I heard a sound from the corner.

“Hey, young man, come here.” There came afaint voice of an old woman, I could tell.

Wondering what happened, I hesitated to come up but halted at the spot.

“Come here, please, Paul. I have somethingto tell you.” The sound turned up again, weakly.

How could this person know my name? Suspecting the identity of her, I walked up and found that in the corner stood a small old woman.

“I tell you, don’t go out tomorrow. Or something serious will happen.” Said she in a mysterious way.

What? Threaten? Maybe she just wanted to get money from me. Trade money for safety, only idiots would do this.

I turned back and didn’t take it into heart.

However, I had a strange dream the details of which I could not recall clearly. But unfortunately, I got up late in the morning and realized that I would be late for the date with my friend, Kevin.He was the best friend who I played with since I was six. It seemed that he was doomed to lead a miserable life because his parents died young and left him alone. My family liked this little boy and helped him sometimes but we neverconsidered him as an orphan. That may be the reason why we became best friends.

“What the fuck!” I complained about the wrong alarm and dialed Kevin’s number.

“Hello, this is Kevin speaking.”

“ Kevin, I’m Paul. I’m afraid that I willbe late for our date.”

“Never mind. I’m still stuck on the road.You can take your time.”

“Good heavens!”

I hasted to the café. Surprised, I was the first one to come. I ordered a cup of coffee and waited on my seat. Sighing with the feeling that the traffic problem became more and more serious, I didn’t notice the waitress was approaching.

“Your coffee, sir.”

“Thank you.” I was about to reach out my hand to take over my coffee, but I didn’t take well and it poured on my trousers.

“I’m sorry, sir. I will serve you another cup.”

“It’s my fault, I pay for it.”

“Thank you, sir.”

I waited here out-of-mind until 11o’clock.Unexpectedly, Kevin didn’t show up and even didn’t give me a call. I phoned him for three times but no one answered. Using up all my patience, I called for the waiter and paid the bill. Then I left the café with my wallet lying on the table.

On my way home, I was still wondering may be something happened to Kevin. All at once, my mobile phone rang.

“Hello? Who’s that?”

“Hello, is that Mr. Paul?”

“Yes. What’s the matter?”

“This is LA police station. Your friend Kevin suffered a car accident. Please come to LA first hospital if you are free now.”

“Ok, I will go. Thank you, sir.”

“You are welcome.”

Car accident? The same thing happened to this poor son. May he was not badly hurt. Worrying about his situation and praying to god for his safety, I sped up. Even myself could hear the boom of my engine.

Finally, I arrived at the hospital and found his ward.

“His situation is not that bad and he will recover in one month. But I suppose his brain was hit and he must accept further examination.” The doctor said.

“Ok, thank you.” I bowed to the doctor.

“He’s awake now and you can talk to him.”

“Ok, I will”

I stepped into the ward and saw him with some bandages. But I could see clearly that he was in a bad mood.

“I don’t want to see you. Get out!”

“Are you crazy?”

“If you didn’t come up with this date, this would not happen!”

“What? You agreed with me at that time andnow you just blame me!”

“I don’t care, I just know it’s all your fault. Get out; I want to have a rest.

“Ok, ok, I will see you next day.”

“No, I will never see you any more. You arenot my best friend any longer.”

He pressed the nurse bell and the nurseurged me to get out of the ward. I stared at him and turned back angrily.

I drove home sullenly and realized something was strange.

 





星星散了,月亮如此的明亮,我没有负担地走在回家的路上,毕竟,明天就是星期六了。稳着空气中的气味,我能够闻出那是规划的香味。路灯坏了,我什么都看不清。但是突然,我听见了角落里传出了声响。

“嗨,年轻人,到这里来。”这个微弱的声音是由一个老妇人发出的。

我想知道发生了什么事,我犹豫了一下,但还是停了下来。

“请过来,保罗。我有话要告诉你。”这个虚弱的的声音再次出现了。

这个人怎么会知道我的名字呢?我不禁怀疑她的身份,我走上前去,发现在角落里站着一个小老太太。

“我告诉你,明天不要出去。或许明天会有一些严重的事情发生,“她非常神秘的说道。

什么?这是威胁吗?也许她只是想从我身上得到钱。为了安全的交易,只有白痴才会这样做。

我转过身,并没有把这件事放在心上。

然而,我做了一个非常奇怪的梦,门丽的细节我可以清楚地回想起来。但不幸的是,我早上起床晚了,意识到我和我朋友,凯文的约会会迟到。凯文是我六岁以来玩的最好的朋友。他似乎注定要过着悲惨的生活,因为他的父母去世了,留下他一个人孤孤单单的。我的家人都很喜欢这个小男孩,并时常帮助他,我们也从未把他当做一个孤儿。这可能也是我们成为最好的朋友的一个原因。

“他妈的!“我对闹钟一阵抱怨,并拨打了凯文的电话号码。

“你好,这是凯文。”

“凯文,我是保罗。我恐怕我要迟到我们的约会了。”

“没关系。我还在路上,你可以慢慢来。”

“谢天谢地!“

我急忙来到咖啡馆。让我惊讶的是,我是第一个来的。我点了一杯咖啡,等在我的座位上。不禁感叹道,交通问题越来越严重,我并没有注意到女服务员正在走过来。

“你的咖啡,先生。”

“谢谢你,”我正要伸手接过我的咖啡,但是我并没有拿稳,咖啡倒在了我的裤子上。

“对不起,先生。我再为你上一杯咖啡。”

“这是我的错,我付钱。”

“谢谢你,先生。”

我一直在这里等到了11点钟。令人想不到的是,凯文并没有出现,甚至没有给我打电话。我给他打了三次电话,但并没有人接听。我的耐心用尽,就叫来服务员付账。然后我就离开了咖啡馆,但我的钱包却忘在了桌上。

在我回家的路上,我仍然在想,是不是凯文发生了什么事。突然,我的手机响了。

“你好?请问是哪位?“

“喂,是保罗先生吗?“

“是的。有什么事吗?“

“这是LA警察局。你的朋友凯文发生了车祸。如果你现在有空的话,请到LA第一医院来吧。”

“好的,我会去的。谢谢你,先生。”

“欢迎。”

车祸?这个可怜的儿子也发生了同样的事情。希望他没有受到严重伤害。由于担心他的情况,我加快车速,不禁向上帝祈祷他的安全。甚至我都能听到引擎的声音。

最后,我到达了医院,找到了他的病房。

“他的情况没有那么糟糕,他将在一个月内恢复过来。但我想他的大脑受到了打击,他必须接受进一步的检查。”医生说道。

“好的,谢谢你,”我向医生鞠躬。

“他现在醒了,你可以和他说话。”

“好的,我会的”

我走进病房,看到他和一些绷带。但我可以清楚地看到,他心情不好。

“我不想看到你。出去!“

“你疯了吗?“

“如果你没有提出这个日期,这一切都不会发生!“

“什么?你同意我的意见,现在你只怪我!“

“我不在乎,我只知道这是你的错。出去,我想休息一下。

“好的,好的,我明天会来看你。”

“不,我再也不想见到你了。你不再是我最好的朋友了。”

他按下护士铃并让我走出病房。我盯着他,生气地转过身来。

我开车回家,觉得这件事非常奇怪。
