Chapter 9

作者: Lanor Spectra
Sally lay there quietly. The blood on her school uniform had dried into dark brown stains.

I couldn't help thinking about the soft sound of her door closing every morning, the way she smiled at me in the elevator, and the sight of her standing on the rooftop, hanging blankets out to dry.

From behind, she looked exactly like Judy.

She had died in Judy's place.

But no one should ever have to die for someone else.

Even after Cecilia was shoved into the back of the police car, she kept turning aroun

  • The Day She Fell   Chapter 9

    Sally lay there quietly. The blood on her school uniform had dried into dark brown stains.I couldn't help thinking about the soft sound of her door closing every morning, the way she smiled at me in the elevator, and the sight of her standing on the rooftop, hanging blankets out to dry.From behind, she looked exactly like Judy.She had died in Judy's place.But no one should ever have to die for someone else.Even after Cecilia was shoved into the back of the police car, she kept turning around and crying out to Anna. "Mom, save me!"Anna collapsed on the ground. She cried so hard that no sound came out anymore. Two officers had to drag her away.The police car door slammed shut, and the car drove away with its siren blaring.Mavis put an arm around my shoulders and said in a hoarse voice, "Tiffany, they definitely can't get away this time."My eyes burned as I squeezed Judy's hand tightly. "I won't let anyone bully you again."Judy buried her face against my shoulder.I looked up at

    "Judy was pushed by them before too. I took their money and lied in court. I caused her to die in vain. I know I was wrong. I should never have taken that money..."The entire scene fell silent.Anna collapsed onto the ground. Her lips trembled, but she couldn't say a word.Cecilia curled up in her arms.She cried and shook her head. "I didn't mean to! I really didn't! I only pushed her once. I didn't know she would fall!"Mike let out a cold laugh. "Are you sure you only pushed her once? Did you watch the security footage carefully? You pushed her hard with both hands. You didn't do it by accident. You did it purposely."Cecilia screamed. "No! That's not true! Stop lying!"Anna completely broke down.She rushed forward and wrapped both arms around Cecilia.Then she screamed at the crowd. "If you keep doing this, I'll fight every one of you!"Mike stared at her coldly. "Where were you when your daughter pushed my daughter off the roof? Where were you when you arranged false testimony a

    "Do you really think your daughter will ever be able to go back to school and live a normal life after this?"Anna finally broke down.She dropped to her knees. "Mr. Curd, please! My daughter is still so young. She doesn't know any better. Please let her go! We're rich. We'll pay you whatever you want!"Mike looked down at her with a cold smile. "How much money do you have? Can you pay me enough to bring my daughter back to life?"Then he turned toward the two girls who were already shaking with fear. "Which one of you made the first move?"The two girls immediately hugged each other and burst into tears."This has nothing to do with us! Cecilia was the one who pushed her!""We only wanted to watch! We didn't touch her!"Cecilia looked up in disbelief. "But you both insulted her too! You can't pretend you didn't do anything!"Mike looked away without any expression. "It doesn't matter. None of you are getting away."The police soon arrived and took control of the scene again. They put

    The moment he saw her face, the man froze. Then he dropped to his knees.His voice was hoarse and broken. "Sally... Dad was too late..."The crowd erupted again.The moment Victoria saw him, all the color drained from her face.She collapsed onto the ground, trembling so badly that she couldn't speak.The man suddenly stood up.He stormed over to Victoria, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her to her feet. "Victoria, how did you take care of my daughter?"Tears streamed down Victoria's face.She was so terrified that her words came out in broken whispers. "I... I didn't know... I really didn't know this would happen..."The veins on the man's hands bulged with anger.His eyes were red. "I transferred 3,000 dollars to you every month to take care of my daughter, and this is how you treated her?"Everyone was stunned.3,000 dollars every month?Sally was actually the secret daughter of a wealthy man?Anna began to panic too.She pulled Cecilia backward.Even her voice started shaking

    I suddenly looked up. The voice came from behind the crowd. It was so clear that it almost hurt my ears."Mavis?"Mavis Vance was my best friend. She knew everything about me and Judy.She tightly held Judy's hand as she pushed through the crowd and walked straight toward me.Judy's hand was shaking. Her face was pale, but her eyes were strangely determined."Tiffany..." She called my name in a soft, trembling voice.My eyes almost filled with tears. For a moment, I could barely speak. "You... You're back? Why did you come back? I told you to stay at Mavis's house!"Judy lowered her head. Her eyes were red. "I... I had a nightmare. I dreamed that someone was hurting you. I was worried about you."Mavis crouched down and held my cold hand. "I couldn't stop her. She kept crying and begging to come back."I grabbed Judy's hand tightly. It felt like I had lost something precious and then gotten it back. I was so relieved.Cecilia and the other two girls were completely stunned. The smug sm

    Anna crouched down and looked at her daughter with a gentle smile. "You won't get arrested. I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you."What a disgusting mother and daughter.They acted as if the girl who had just fallen from the roof wasn't a living person.As if she were nothing more than a blank sheet of paper with no life in it.Suddenly, the police officer's radio crackled.He turned around to answer it. The more he listened, the deeper his frown became.After he hung up, he glanced at me.Then he looked at Cecilia and Anna. "My supervisor says the evidence in this case was collected improperly, so we have to suspend the investigation for now."I didn't understand. "What was improper? The security footage clearly shows what happened!"The officer avoided my eyes. "The security camera on the rooftop was installed in a location that involves residents' privacy. The residents weren't properly notified beforehand, so the footage can't be used as valid evidence."Anna immediately looked pl
