Chapter 10

Mia POV
 
" What are you doing?" With my wet body I approached Sarah who was busy with my baby .
 
  I approached her with my vein out already, how could she be rough with my baby to already spoil my phone at that time.
 
With me seeing my phone on the fall scattered already I felt so devasted with all of that. I gave a squat with pain within me as I picked up my phone turning it around with me hiding my inner tears since I was already an adult.
 
" Am literally sorry" I Interrupted Sarah words with anger and revealing veins on my neck . 
 
" Why are you so careless?" I questioned with steamy anger in my voice already .
 
I just gave a long hiss to her walking back into the bathroom where I walked out of from . I looked into my phone that was already half destroyed . But,it just didn't look as if it was a small baby that spoilt the phone but someone more matured and have more matured sense to do that.
 
" Oh My God " I looked at my phone feeling depressed already. 
 
Why it hurt me the most was that I did almost all my works on that same phone, so that was where I get money from to pay for the motel I stayed at.
 
 
**********
I felt a spike of frustration and despair as I gazed at my damaged phone, my mind racing with thoughts of how I was going to recover my important files and contacts which was much more important to me . 
 
I had relied on that phone for everything and it was much like everything to Me, from work to communication with my clients, and now it was all gone.
 
I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, knowing that lashing out at Sarah wouldn't solve anything but just get issue worst since she was much close to me already and she loved me and my child.
 
 I walked back into the room with a dried body already, my eyes fixed on her as she held my baby, a look of concern on her face.
 
"Kate, I'm so sorry," she said, her voice soft and apologetic as she walked closer to me with a nice looking face that really tells what she said was totally from her heart. 
 
" It not an issue " i faked my smile to her .
 
"I didn't mean to damage your phone though." She paused briefly, holding my baby more fame around her arms.
 
"IIt was an accident." She said again.
 
I sighed, feeling a mix of anger and sadness, but still I just gave a smile to the words since I couldn't do much about that.
 
"It's actually just not just the phone, Sarah." I restricted my fake smile at that point.
 
"It's all my work, my contacts, my everything. I rely on that phone for my livelihood," I said as I immediately wore a friend at that point.
 
Sarah's expression turned sympathetic. "I know, Kate. And I'll do whatever it takes to help you recover your files and contacts. But please, don't be too hard on me. I'm just trying to help with the baby." She gave a face filled with pity. "I promise, Kate," she pleaded.
 
I felt a pang of guilt, knowing that Sarah was only trying to assist me. I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself and return back to my face smile since I couldn't bring out one at that point of time.
 
"Okay," I said finally, my voice softer now with a deep smile.
 
"Let's just calm down and figure out what to do next." I said to her, sitting on a side of the bed.
 
Sarah nodded, relief written all over her face. "Okay, Kate. Let's do that." She said with her own smile, which I couldn't just give words to—either it was fake or real.
 
Together, we sat down and started brainstorming ways to recover my files and contacts. Sarah suggested using data recovery software, while I tried to remember if I had backed up my files anywhere else. As we worked together, I couldn't help but feel grateful for Sarah's help and support, despite her carelessness earlier.
 
As the hours passed, we managed to recover some of my files, but not all of them. I felt a sense of loss and disappointment, knowing that some of my important work was gone forever. But I also felt grateful for Sarah's help and support, and I knew that I couldn't have done it without her.
 
As the sun began to set, we finally took a break, exhausted but relieved that we had made some progress. I looked at Sarah, and our eyes met, a silent understanding passing between us. We knew that we still had a long way to go, but we were determined to face it together.
 
As I looked at my baby, who was sleeping peacefully in Sarah's arms, I felt a spike of love and gratitude. I knew that I couldn't have made it this far without Sarah's help, and I was grateful for her presence in my life.
 
As her phone gave a quick buzz, Sarah immediately stood up from our both sitting positions. "Sorry, I have to pick this call," she said, making her way outside of the room at that time with me still going through my laptop to recover some old lost files.
 
"How's she and the baby?" A question From the other side of the phone, she said to Sarah, who looked around like a spy or someone with guilt killing them.
 
"Doing well and first plan had already worked well," Sarah gave a little chuckle, still looking around like one checking if someone was after her life.
 
"Okay," I voice said from the other end.
 
"Sarah... Sarah..." I stood up, walking outside the room, to see Sarah, who was behaving much like someone who was doing something bad.
 
"Are you okay?" I questioned.
 
"Perfectly," she responded.
 
" Okay..." I smiled, holding up her hands, going back to the room.
 
"So, what do you wanna show me?" Sarah asked as we both sat down back on the bed.
 
"I would be going out to seek a job tomorrow, so can you help me stay with my child?" I asked her.
 
"Thank you, Sarah," I said finally, my voice sincere. "I don't know what I would have done without your help."
 
Sarah smiled, her eyes shining with tears. "You're welcome, Kate. That's what friends are for."
 
I smiled back at her, feeling a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that I still had a long way to go, but with Sarah by my side, I felt like I could face anything.
 
" Ohh," she sighed giving a relieve as if I held her tight.
 
"Sarah, what happened?" I asked with a slight chuckle.
 
Her eyes widened, and she tried to cover up her phone. "Nothing, I'm good."
