Cindy's POV

I was sitting there like a statue. I can't believe that really happened. I really can't believe it. I kept thinking what I just have heard awhile back.

" Cindy!!" I heard Chloe's voice.

" Yes?" I asked her. She gave me a sad smile.

" Everything will be fine." She said. I nodded mindlessly.

I was looking at Stella from out of the window. I touched the glass. I know I can't go in this time but I was feeling like if I could break the door and hold her hand for once!!! Her head was covered with bandage. Her face was looking so pale today. There was no shine on her beautiful face. Her eyes were closed. It was hurting me a lot. May be we were not related by blood but Stella was one of my closest friends. She loves me like her own sister. I love her too. She is one of the purest soul in this fake world who had never ever left my side. My love and respect for her can't be described.

" I can't believe that she has forgotten us all." I said and sighed deeply.

" It's ok. She is alive and well can see her again. That's great. Isn't it? May be things are not like before but still the most important thing is our Stella girl is safe now." She said.

" Won't she call me Candy again? I really don't have a sister other than her?" I asked and tears slipped on my cheeks thinking about she has forgotten me as well.

" Hey!!! Don't cry. She will. She just need a bit time to get well. She will remember you then. No worries." She said hugging me from back. I sobbed and tried to control on my tears. Why everything is falling apart around me?!! Why can't I live in peace for once?! Why? Just why?!

" Cindy!!" I saw Bella. I wiped my tears and smiled at her sadly. She reached me and pulled me into hug.

" Thank you." She said with a wet voice.

" Thank you?" I asked as I couldn't understand why was she thanking me.

" You may think we are so ungrateful for not thanking you but situation didn't let us. But thank you, Cindy. Thank you." She said.

" Why are you thanking me? " I asked her.

" Because you have saved Stella's life that day." She said.

" No. I haven't done anything. It's Campbell who has rescued her. I just told him what was happening there. That's it." I told her.

" No, you saved her life. If you hadn't reach him in time then it would be difficult to save her life may be it won't be possible as well." She said.

" Bella, no need to thank me. I know her from last 6 years. We are like sisters. Could you stood there silently if someone would try to hurt your sister? You don't have to really." I told her. She shook her head and hold my hands in hers.

" You didn't even thought about yourself. The way you ran into the busy road without thinking about yourself just to save someone can't be ignored. You really proved that humanity is still alive. So, thank you." She said. I shook my head and was about to say something but found some cops were there.

" Ms. Beckett?" One of them asked.

" It's me." I said.

" We are here for your statement." One of them said.

" I would go to the police headquarter today to give my statement myself. You guys really needed to come here like this." I told them.

" They have. I want to know everything about that incident. You will give the statement in front of us." I heard Mr. Anderson's voice. I found Steffan  Anderson standing a few feet away from the cops. I nodded.

" Hold on yourself, Steffan." Ellie said holding him arms. He just nodded but his eyes were still burning.

I know how he was feeling. Stella used to say how her brother loves her the most. She also loves her brother. Everyone loves Stella. She is a girl that no one can hate. She can make people love her anyhow even if they don't want to.

" Ok, I will give the statement here." I said and we reached cafeteria of this floor.

There was not much people in this floor and the cafeteria was almost empty. We sat on the corner. I sat across the cop who was going to take my statement. Chloe sat next to me and Mr. Anderson along with Ellie sat next to her. Bella and Tracy sat on the other side.

" Alright. Can we start?" The cop asked.

" Yes." I said.

" That day when this incident happened you were present in the studio, so why were you there?" The cop asked me.

" Officer, I was one of the photographers. So, I was there." I said. I knew this questions were just to test me.

" Alright, when did you reach there?" he asked me.

" I reached there at 9:45 or 9:50. I don't know the exact time but when I was checking my camera it was 10:00 in the morning there." I said.

" Ms. Anderson was already there?" He asked me.

" No, she reached there awhile later." I said.

" Then? Did that guy hurt her then?" He asked me.

" Officer, she was given a dress which she didn't want to wear but Andy Mitchell wanted her to wear it anyhow. This is what had made her angry and they got a worst fight. When I found this was going out of hands I went out to call the securities in. But no one was there to help her. So, I had to go and call Mr. Campbell." I said.

" Why didn't you try to help her yourself?" The cop asked me.

" There were 7 more photographers but none of them had protested that incident. If I went to protest there they would have r*ped and killed us both. I wanted to save her. I did what I should do that moment without getting hurt but my only fault was I was a bit late. I couldn't reach there in time. I could reach there in time but Daisy has stopped me. She didn't help me in the first place then she tried to stop me when I was going to call Mr. Campbell. Then I had to climb 17th floor with the stairs as they were ready to kill me inside the lift. It took a lot of time. Otherwise we could reach there in time." I said and looked at the expressions of the people.

The cops were taking notes but all other people from her family was fuming inside and Chloe was literally gritting her teeth not to scream out her frustrations loud. My statement was taken.
