ECHOES OF LOVE 103
"We? More like you mom, you just dragged dad into it,"Liam cut in as they both walked into the house and his mom sat down."I know, yes it is mostly me, so put all the blame on me and don't take it out on someone else, you were so happy with him so why did you break up?"His mom asked."Mom, whether you told him or I told him we would have broken up either way, not that I have forgiven you for what you did but you need to know that Jordan and I would have broken up anyway because we both want different things, I can put up with you because I can't choose my family but not with Jordan, I won't have another person here trying to tell me how to live, no matter how I love that person,"Liam responded."So this is a hopeless case? There is no hope of you guys making up and working things out?""No more and it is for the Best, Jordan might not know it now but in the long run he will.""And you are never going to change your mind?"His mom asked and he shook his head, he knew what she was a

Jordan hurriedly picked up his phone while walking to his car, he was almost late for work, after spending the whole of last week and yesterday away from work, it would be so wrong of him to turn up late, but he had woken up late even though he had set his alarm, Mark was already around and they even added him to their team group chat and the young man had been asking him when he was going to come in for work, not to mention anniversary was coming at his face. Yesterday he had a virtual meeting with Mark and they had planned out what they are going to present to the full team, they were not done yet but he hoped to finish up today at work and he also had other things to do, today was already looking like it would be super busy for him and he was fine with that."Hey, son,"Liam's mom said when he took the call, she has become a very important and present part of his life since he and Liam broke up, he thought she would go away after the first week but that didn't stop and she made sur

"Aren't you going to say a word?"Mark asked when Jordan didn't respond to his talks."What do you want me to say? You meant a hottie, good for you,""You are no fun, you use to be so much fun when you come to Los Angeles but you are so different here you only talk to me when it is work-related and snub me the rest of this time, I picked you as my teammate because I was mostly close to you but I guess I did wrong, I should have gone for someone else, I had so many choices,"Mark complained. It wasn't his fault, he couldn't pretend to be happy when he was not, those times Mark had met him that he was referring to, Jordan had been in good moods them but with all the shits going on in his life, he couldn't entertain anyone even if he tried, it wasn't just Mark but everyone, he wasn't himself but because the others knew him enough they knew best to leave him alone and let him sort out himself but Mark didn't know that and Jordan wasn't ready to explain to him."You are not going to say a

"What are you doing here and how do you know that I live here?"Liam asked Jordan staring at him, he already knew who would have told him where he lived, he cursed understand his breath, his mom was making things difficult for him and there was no stopping her, he thought she was finally over his case and even spoke with her on the phone earlier today, well, no more talk about the surgery but then she sends Jordan to him even after he told her it was next if they stay away from each other, his mom was unstoppable."How I know doesn't matter, I just know that you can't run or hide from me forever Liam,"Jordan said."I am not hiding nor am I running from you, can't you take a hint and just leave me alone?"He asked."No, I can't, neither can I leave you alone, you have to try harder to get rid of me because I am not going anywhere,""Just leave me alone what else do you want from me? I already told you I am not going to do what you want, stop trying so hard you are not going to succeed

"Yup, I figured I had to feed myself since you ran away and left me on my own,"Jordan replied with food in his mouth a habit that was Jordan's"I didn't run away,"Liam said subconsciously walking toward him and using his finger to wipe off the food on his lips, he heard his intake of breath and realize just a little too late that he wasn't supposed to be touching him, he took his hand away and walked back, putting a distance between them."Liam,"Jordan whispered his name dropping his food and walking close to him, Liam took steps back."Don't come close Jordan,"Liam said. He was too tempting, all it took was for him to be in the same room with him for Liam to remember just how starved he was, he couldn't do this to Jordan."Why Liam? You don't want me anymore?"He asked sadly he continued walking close to him until Liam's back hit the wall, Jordan didn't stop until they were face to face, Liam took a breath to control himself, it was so hard to stare at this man and not want him a

Jordan stared his mouth open at Liam, this felt like Deja Vu, like this whole shit has happened before, the same exact same way but this time it felt worst, this time it was coming from someone he trusted so much, someone he thought won't do this kind of shit to him, oh, what he fool he had been, he was so stupid, could he let this happen again, or maybe he heard him wrong."Liam, what do you mean by what you just said?"He asked hoping to heaven that he misheard him, his naked body suddenly too cold, he pulled the mattress and wrapped it around himself while staring at Liam who didn't look the least bit bothered, he looked cold and distant instead."I said I am with someone else so there is no need for you to come here and also whatever happened between us was a mistake, don't you think that because of that I am going to come back to you, I am with someone who understands me and he will be here soon so it will be better if you leave, I don't want him to meet you here,"Liam said brea

"Let's just let it go,"He told himself. There was no point in hanging on to this and trying to fight for them when Liam already moved on, he should do that too, move on, but of course, he wasn't going to be with anyone else for a long long time, he has been burnt too much to want to love again, the first time had been horrible, and Kelvin happened and when Liam had come, once again he fell in love, he thought he would finally have it all with Liam yet again that wasn't going to be it, he wasn't just lucky, maybe love wasn't meant for him, maybe it was his fate to be lonely, he should just accept it."Should I just leave New York?"He asked himself. The thought didn't sound bad at all, he could move to Los Angeles, or Arizona, start afresh, and just be contented with himself."I can't do that,"He replied to himself. He couldn't leave New York even if he wants to, his life was here, his family was here, as much as he doesn't like that his parents were always on his case, he didn't fan
ECHOES OF LOVE 110
After Jordan left, Liam felt like the devil, he shouldn't have said what he said, he shouldn't have the look on Jordan's face, the betrayer he saw there, he couldn't think about it without feeling guilty, but then if it will keep Jordan away from him then it is all good, he could live with the guilt or maybe not, because what Jordan had said to him, he didn't know his ex had broken up with him right after they slept together, he didn't like the thought of Jordan with another man either."Just stop, at least he won't come back here and that's for the best,"He whispered to himself and he got up from the bed to go brush his teeth, he stared at his reflection in the mirror, he didn't look so bad, neither did he look like he was sick but he knew there was a time bomb over his head and it might explode anytime soon, he felt it while he made love to Jordan, the adrenaline rush had made his heartbeat uneven and he had struggled to keep his breath."You are dying,"He said to his reflection b
