Book Of Likes Faces

When I was 15 years old I had something strange/scary happen to me. I was walking home from school and I would always go the same way because it was the fastest. I would zigzag down a series of small streets through a neighborhood. When I was almost home a had a choice of going two different ways. Up to this point it had been a normal walk. Suddenly I heard someone say my name. I turned around thinking it was one of my friends. There was no one there. There was no cars anyone could of hid behind or anything. I turned around and kept walking. As I was nearing the corner where I could go two different ways I again heard someone say my name. This time when I looked around I saw a young girl standing in a doorway. I just figured maybe she had the same name and her mom was calling her. I decided to go to the right because it was a few minutes faster. As I started walking I heard someone scream my name "JOHN" really loud. At that point I decided to turn and go the other way. A few minutes later I heard all kinds of police sirens and a car crash.
It turns out at the same time I would have reached the next corner to turn a guy running from the cops lost control and jumped right where I would have been standing. They estimate he was going between 60 and 70 mph when he hit the fire hydrant on that corner.
Needless to say I was very upset. After I settled down I realized the voice I heard saying my name was one of my friends voices. Unfortunately that should have been impossible. My friend had lost her battle with cancer the previous month. I know what I heard. We had been friends all through elementary and middle school, I believe that either she or something using her voice saved my life that day.
