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.
月朗星稀。我毫无压力地走在回家的路上，毕竟，明天是周六。嗅了嗅空气中的味道，桂花香气清晰可辨。路灯早已经年久失修，我根本看不清任何东西。但是突然之间，我听见了从角落里传来的声音。
“年轻人，你好啊，来这儿。”我能听出来，远处传来了一个老妪虚弱的声音。
猜疑着发生了什么，我有点犹豫着要不要上前，原地不动。
“保罗，来这儿啊。”我有事情要告诉你。”这个声音又浮现，弱弱地。
这个老人怎么会知道我的名字？对她的身份深表怀疑，我走上前去，发现在角落里站着一个身形瘦小的老妇人。
“我告诉你啊，明天不要出去。负责的话，坏事会发生的。”她神神叨叨地说。
什么？威胁吗？或许她就是想从我身上骗点钱。破财消灾，傻子才会那么做。
我转过身去，没把她的话放在身上。
然而，当天晚上我却做了一个奇怪的梦，梦的细节我已经记不清。但是不幸的是，早晨起床之后，我就发现和凯文的约会我肯定迟到了。他是我的挚友，从我六岁的时候我们就一起玩耍。他似乎注定过着悲惨的生活，因为他的父母在他很小的时候就过世了，留下他孤身一人。我家里人很喜欢这个小男孩，也经常伸出援手，但我们从没觉得他是一个孤儿。那可能也是我们称为挚友的原因。
“操！”我一边抱怨着坏掉的闹钟，一边拨通了凯文的电话号码。
“你好，我是凯文。”
“凯文啊，我是保罗，恐怕今天我们的约我会晚一点。”
“没事，我还在路上堵着呢。不用急。”
“上天保佑！”
我匆匆忙忙地去了咖啡馆。出乎意料的是，我竟然是第一个到的。我点了一杯咖啡，在座位上等待着。正当我叹了一口气感叹现在的交通问题可是越来越严重了之时，我没发现服务员走了过来。
“您的咖啡，先生。”
“谢谢。”我刚要伸出我的手去拿咖啡，可我却没有端好，全都倒在了我的裤子上。
“对不起，先生。我再给您上一杯。”
“是我的错，我买单。”
“谢谢您，先生。”
我心不在焉地等到了11点。出乎意料，凯文竟然没有出现，他甚至没给我打个电话。我给他打了三遍电话，但无人应答。耐心全都用尽了，我叫来了服务员付了帐。然后我离开了咖啡馆，钱包却静静地躺在桌子上。
在我回家的路上，我仍然在担忧着凯文到底怎么了。突然，我的电话响了。
“你好，请问是谁？”
“你好，请问是保罗先生吗？”
“是的，有什么事情吗？”
“这里是洛杉矶警署。你的朋友凯文刚刚经历了一场车祸。如果您有空的话， 请速来洛杉矶医院。”
“好的，我马上去，谢谢您，先生。”
“没关系。”
车祸？不幸再次降临到了这个可怜人的身上。可能他没受什么重伤吧。对他的情况深感担忧，我向上帝祈祷保他平安。加速。即使是我自己也能听到车子的轰鸣。
终于，我到了医院，找到了他的病房。
“他情况不是很差，一个月就恢复了。但是我觉得他的脑部受创了，他得进行下一步的检查。“医生说到。
”谢谢您，医生。”我给医生鞠了个躬。
“他现在醒了，你可以进去和他说几句话。”
“嗯，好的。”
我进入了病房，看他缠了很多的绷带。可我能很清晰的看出来他心情很不好。
“我不想看见你！出去！”
“你疯了吗？”
“如果你不提出这这个约，这就不会发生了！”
“什么？你当时同意了现在竟然来责备我！”
“我不管，我知道这都是你的错。出去！我想休息。”
“好好好，明天见。”
“不，我不想再看见你了。你再也不是我的好朋友了。”
他按下了护士岭，护士过来把我给赶了出去。我盯着他，愤怒转身。
驱车回家，我突然觉得什么事情似乎很奇怪。
