“What happened? I mean I know he has underlying issues but still, it wasn’t that bad and he was doing fine,”“He had surgery Blake, two months ago, he is supposed to be fine already by now but he is not waking up, it’s been two months and he is just there, I don’t know what went wrong,”Jordan lamented wiping his eyes.“Oh my God, I don’t know what to say, this shouldn’t be happening especially not to Liam, he is a really good person,”“I agree, I just wish he can fight it and gain back himself, I just want him back here with me,”Jordan let out in sadness.“It’s so sad to hear, I didn’t even know and just assumed you guys were okay and in love, I should have called to keep up, I feel horrible, Liam and I were friends, I am sorry Jordan,”He said in sadness.“You don’t need to apologize, Blake, it’s fine and I am sure Liam would understand,”Jordan responded.“Thank you, I don’t know but how are you feeling?

Liam stared at the strange man and then at his mom, he didn't have the strength nor the will to deal with anyone right now, he just wanted to be alone, to think that he had just gone off from what his mom had told him to be a two months long sleep only for a strange man to be hugging him and telling him he missed him, that was so uncalled for, he didn't want the attention, he just wanted to go home and be alone."Liam, that's not funny, don't you know who Jordan is?"His mom asked and he whipped her a look, why was she suggesting that he knew who this man was? He didn't, he never heard of or seen him before, this was the first time he was meeting someone like him."Why will I joke about something like that? Can you just leave me alone, I don't know who the fuck he is but can the both of you just get out? I want to rest,"He yelled at his mom."Liam? Stop it,""Stop what mom? I finally did what you have been pestering me for so let me be okay, just fuck off my face, I don’t even have t

“Doc, you are spilling bullshit, do you have any evidence that I did those things? I bet you don’t,”“Of course we do, we have your signature to prove it,”“That’s it? Signatures can be a forged, so that’s a huge lie,”He attacked, no way was the doctor pulling the signature card when his mom can easily copy his signature for that.“If you think we did things against your will Williams, then think about this, you were strongly against getting surgery,”“Exactly, that’s the point strongly against it,”He cut in, he had been against it so why do they think he was going to believe that he suddenly had a change of mind?“Let me finish, the thing is, you were against getting surgery right? Now think about it? Why will you agree to it? Did we force you to do it? The answer is no because we can’t do that, and also, how did you get into the hospital against your will, sat through all the diagnoses, and got into the operating room if you didn’t consent to it?”The doctor asked. He did make sen

Jordan couldn’t believe all that he was hearing, everything he had in mind driving to the hospital suddenly flew away, there was only one thought going through his head as he sat in the hallway, Liam didn’t remember who he was, Liam had no memory of what they shared, he just couldn’t get it out of his head, Liam almost collapsed while yelling at him and his mom, Liam told him to fuck off.Jordan tries hard not to dwell on anything negative as he waited for the doctor to come out of Liam’s room, the other doctors with him already left and assured him and Liam’s mom that he was fine and that he just needed to rest.Liam’s mom was talking on the phone probably with Liam’s dad who was out of the country for business, he would be back by the day after tomorrow or maybe he would return tomorrow just to see his son.The doctor to Liam’s room opened and the doctor walked out, Jordan stood up and walked up to him.“How is he doc?”He asked anxiously even though the other doctors already assure

“Okay then, do get some rest and I will see you tomorrow,”Liam’s mom said and walked off, Jordan walked down the hallway towards the exit of the hospital, it was late and he didn’t want to drive or go home so he called a cab to come to get him and take him to a nearby hotel.He sat on the chair outside the hospital complex and brought out his phone to tell his mom the update while waiting for the taxi to come. he knew she would want to know that he is awake and she would be excited too, he dialed her number and waited for her to answer the call.“Baby? How are you doing?”She asked when she picked them up, she has been babying him for the last couple of months and he wasn’t even complaining since he knew it was her way of cheering him up.“I don’t know how I am feeling right now mom,”He said truthfully, he didn’t know how he was feeling, he couldn’t even pinpoint it, all he knew was that he was happy Liam was finally awake but the fact that he couldn’t remember who he was made him s
ECHOES OF LOVE 166
Liam heard his hospital room doctor open and closed his eyes to pretend to be sleeping, he didn’t want to talk with anyone, not even his mom, he almost died a little while ago and it was by heaven’s grace that he was still here, he didn’t want to play with his health again, the questions the doctor had asked him, okay not a doctor, a bunch of scientist and technicians, he went through various scans and they drew his blood too and asked him dozens of questions before they finally let him go when he had asked the outcome of everything, they said they will get back to him and sent him back here, he had seen his mom and the strange guy when they wheeled him back to this room, he had pretended not to see them, right now he hoped the idiot man wasn’t here again, God helps him he would be so mad if he was.“Son? You are sleeping? You slept for so long yet you are sleeping again? I am so happy you made it back to us, I missed you so much Williams, it was hell but now that you are here with us
