ECHOES OF LOVE 152
Liam sat up on the bed just staring at the man sleeping beside him, the center of his world, he could spend all day and night staring at him without getting tired, that's how much hold Jordan had on him, this beautiful man that he didn't know what he did to deserve, he watched him turn on the bed and smiled as he struggled to overcome sleep."Good morning my love,"Jordan greeted when he finally opened his eyes, with a smiling face, Liam placed his hand on his cheek, staring at him, he loves him so much he just wanted to show him just how much he meant to him, he wanted to give him the whole world and make him happy forever, Jordan was his lifeline and he wasn't even kidding."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked shying away, Liam didn't let him, no way was he going to act shy with him now."I love you,"He said."I know, is that why you are looking at me like that?""Yes, I love you and I love you us not enough to say just how much I love you, I wish there was another w

"When are we going to be done with the crying party?"His dad asked obviously tired of the crazy exchange of words but Liam loved the moment and he wanted to keep the memory."You men should not have bothered coming because of what use is your coming here? The least you could do is shush, and let us have our moment with our son since you are not into it."His mom scolded his dad who did the imaginary zip code thing and sat next to Jordan's dad who choose not to say anything in the first place, honestly, his family was love and he would miss them in the few days he was going to be away, he just hopes he wakes up early so that he can be a full-time part of this chaotic irregular family that meant the world to him."Thanks the moms and the dads for coming and don't fight guys, one love, let's keep the love and I will go and come back,"He said hugging his two moms, Jordan joined in the hug, he heard the clicking of a camera and raised his head to see Jordan's dad taking a photo."For onc

Sitting outside while waiting for Liam's surgery to be done was hell for Jordan, he didn't realize just how nerve-wracking it would be until he had sat hours there just waiting for the medical team to get out of the operating room, yes he knew it was major surgery and it would take time but the hours seem to slow down even more since he has been sitting here, it has only been over two hours, it was as if the hand of time was slow on purpose, he didn't want to sound stupid so he chooses not to say w word, their parents left a little while ago, and Liam's parents will come back later, he didn't want to leave so he had stayed behind, maybe he should have left with them, Maybe the time would have moved faster.He got up and walked out of the theater entrance, he took a turn and walked downstairs, the hospital was huge so it would be nice for him to take a walk just to clear his head, that was bringing up annoying scenarios that were very not what he needed right now."Oh my gosh, Jordan B

"It will all come out fine, I have faith, so should you my boy,"She said and they continued eating in silence, after lunch, Jordan went back alone to where he has been seating since the surgery started while Liam's mom decided to take and all he could do was sit there and hope, when evening rolled in, Liam's mom once again came to drag him to eat dinner, which was even worst than lunch, because lunch hit had still been fresh, but dinner, it has been hours and still not a soul has walked out of that operating room, Jordan went back with Liam mom, a few minutes later, the door to the operating room finally opened and the doctors walked out, Jordan dumped up to his feet, they all looked exhausted but that didn't stop him from asking questions."Doctor? How is he? How did it go?"He asked and the head surgeon smiled making his heart feel at peace for the first time today."It was a success,"He said and Jordan heard Liam's mom don, he couldn't hide the tears that dropped down from his ey

A week after Liam's surgery and there was still no sign of him waking up, at this point, Jordan couldn't help but be worried, he just wanted him up again and back to him, he couldn't keep staying in the hospital because he was slowly losing it just sitting there and watching Liam so this morning, he had called Katrina and she agreed to meet up with him, that didn't mean he left the hospital, no, he was currently sitting at the cafe near the hospital waiting for Kat to show up, she was almost there, he picked this cafe because it had private booths where they could talk and not be noticed by other people, it was more like a workspace may be for intern doctors, he looked up again to see if Kat was around and spotted her walking into the cafe, he pulled the blind so that she can see him and waved her, she waved back."Hey best friend, how are you doing? Sorry, my bad,"She said when she saw his mood."Seat down pregnant lady,"He said trying to light up his mood, not like it was going to

It was both shocking and fascinating to feel the movement and for a moment he forgot all his sadness."Yeah, that's a new life in there, just think of it and see that it is taken it time because he is trying to fix himself and perfect himself, think about Liam doing the same thing, he had struggled with this condition for so long, of course, he will want to fix everything before he comes back,"Katrina said and it made sense even though she was just saying to give him a reason to cheer up but it made so much sense, Liam has been sick since he was little and this sickness gas been in him, of course, he would like to take his time to heal and be whole, he needed to keep that in mind."Thank you best friend, I am grateful,""Don't mention, you helped me through my rough times too, we have always been there for each other, if not that I am now, you know, I am supposed to be there for you every minute of the day,""You don't need to be, I am grateful for this, and again, I met Riley and sh

“Doctor? I just want to know, what are his chances of waking up anytime soon? Because I don’t even know what to think anymore, you guys are not giving me answers and I feel that there is more to this that you are not letting on, you are not being honest to me and it’s not fair on both of me and Liam,”Jordan lamented as he sat in the doctor’s office more than three weeks after Liam’s surgery, three weeks of him sleeping and not even blinking or moving his eyes, Jordan couldn’t get the fact that the doctors were not telling him the full details, the feeling was just there and he couldn’t shake it off no matter how much he tried to.“We are doing the best we can but this doesn’t look like anything we can do to change anything right now, so far all his analysis results came out okay, and his MRI is good too, why he is not waking up is beyond what we can say,”The doctor revealed.“There has to be something wrong which is why he is not waking up, by the end of this week it will be a month

Jordan walked back into the room after eating to meet Liam’s mom there, she had been in and out of the hospital recently, they were both allies in this and he just knew how much this was doing to her too, she tries to hide how affected she was by the present situation but he could see it, and now watching her whisper to her son and not knowing he just entered the room made it, even more, sadden, he wished again that Liam would just open his eyes and make this whole shits go away, he was the only one that could fix this sadness that has descended on them.“Mom,”He called and she turned to him with tears in her eyes, his heart went to her when he saw them but she quickly wiped them off and forced a smile.“I didn’t know you were back, how are you Jordan?”She asked getting off to sit on the sofa in the room, Jordan sat next to her.“I am good, I didn’t know you were going to come around today,”He said looking at her, she looked away, sadness in her eyes making him emotional."Mom, don
