Just looking at the figure on the ground I was afraid that had killed someone on my first driving test.I called an ambulance and rushed him to the hospital immediately. I spent the entire day in the hospital, not only to view his progress but I also afraid to face the real world outside.
Luckily he was hurt badly. He just had a cut on his head from the fall and apparently no broken bones. I stayed with him the entire time just wondering who he was. "Ahh darn it", I heard him mumble from what seemed like ages of waiting. He finally woke up. "Mister does it hurt anywhere?, should I call the doctor?, is there anything I can do?", I asked with concern. It seemed like has head hurt, obviously.
He replied with a question, "who are you?" "I'm Lorian Jackson, I'm sorry I knocked you down. If there's anything I can do to help me just let me know, okay." I said. After glancing at him for a while, I couldn't help but ask, "do you have any family, friend or wife I can call?" just then I saw that he didn't have a ring on, that's when I realized what a stupid question I had asked. "I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend and I'm new here without a place to stay because you hit me with your car." He said in a very sad but resounding voice. I felt pity for him but he didn't look like would appreciate being pitied.
I left the room to think and to give him some privacy. Ever since I moved out of my parents' house, I've been living alone in my two bed room apartment with a garage. The garage was spacious enough to pass for bed room. He could stay there for a while, at least until he settles down. When I went back into the room he was already dressed. "Umm I didn't get your name." I said. "I'm Charles, Charles Williams" he responded. "Okay Charles I can give you accommodation for tonight, that's the least I can do." I said. He waited for a while before responding "until I get a job, deal?" he asked. "Deal" I agreed.
We arrived at my house in no time. I show where he was go he was going to be staying and the look on his face told me that he wasn't pleased. It was spacious but it needed a makeover. "Why don't you sleep on the sofa tonight, I'll call the cleaning lady to come get it ready for you tomorrow." I suggested. He didn't reply. He just went straight to the living room and made himself comfortable, placed earphones in his ears and closed his eyes. I stood at a corner and stared at him, his appearance was dazzling. I headed to the kitchen to prepare diner. By the time I had returned he had already fallen at sleep. I placed his in the refrigerator, ate diner, covered him with a blanket and retired to bed as well.

I could have never imagined that my day would end this way. Never would I have ever thought that I would have a stranger in my house overnight. I just hope mom does not come and meet him here unexpectedly.
