ECHOES OF LOVE 169
Jordan spent the rest of the week locked up in his apartment, he didn't feel like leaving the house anyway, it would only make him depressed seeing other people be happy when he couldn't be happy too, and he didn't want to feel like hell, staying in his room all day gave him some kind of coverage, but his mom thought it was a bad idea for him to stay holed up indoors, he didn't bother explaining to her, she knew better, the only thing he did was make sure he always answer he calls whenever she calls him so that she won't be worried that he did something stupid, not like he would do anything stupid, he was sad quiet alright but that didn't mean he would do anything that would make his family was, he just needed to get over this trying times on his own, he knew it will all be fine even if he ends up not being with Liam again, he knew he would eventually overcome the pain he was feeling now but that didn't make it any easier, his smile was stolen and it would take a while to get them bac

“How are you feeling now?”The doctor whom he hated to see asked as he walked into his room again“When can I leave? I am doing just fine and shouldn’t be confined to a hospital bed,”He responded.“I understand your need to be free from the hospital and everything associated with it but we can’t give you that, you are in the medical field too, what do you think will happen if a patient doesn’t finish the full dose of antibiotics given to them?”He asked and Liam rolled his eyes, he wasn’t making any sense, he has been in the hospital for more than two months already, it has already been two weeks and some days since he woke up and he just didn’t get why he was made to sit and do nothing when he was perfectly fine, okay not totally fine, he still couldn’t walk properly on his own,“Those are two different stances, first of all, I am fine and I can take my drugs at home, I don’t need to be here, you go home too but I am made to stay here, I know, you are going to say I am not yet ready

“I didn’t want any of this, just leave me alone,”He finally said.“We will, Liam, I hope when we all let you have it that you won’t regret anything, you might think we have our shortcomings as your parents and I agree that we do but one thing we have always done is put your best thought at heart, we have always looked out for your best interest and in doing so we became people you don’t want to see thinking we always project what we want on you but that’s not the case I can tell you,”His dad said and paused, Liam didn’t want to interrupt him so he just kept quiet, let him say what he want, it doesn’t change anything for him.“We do our best but you think it is us not letting you have it your own way and I am not even disputing that fact, I once thought the same about my parents until we had you and you started thinking the same, I bet you will give birth and your children will also feel like you are not letting them decide their life but the truth is no parents want anything less fo

Jordan stared at the night sky wondering just when it got so dark, he had been so deep in thought that he hadn’t noticed it had gotten so dark, well, this was how his life was and has been since the day he had left the hospital after speaking to Liam’s mom, his life hadn’t gone back to normal, far from it, for the first five days he was a complete mess, crying and being a miserable man, he went through the different phase of heartbreak and he wasn’t still at the acceptance phase yet and it had been over two weeks now, he has given up on forgetting and just moving on because that was impossible.Of course, Lucas's visit helped him a little but he couldn't say it did much though because right after Lucas left he was back being a crying mess, men don't cry? That had to be the biggest joke that was said because all it takes was for the man to be heartbroken and he would reduce to nothing but a crying mess like him.There was nothing he could do that could cheer him up long-term, he took L

“I am sorry mom, I didn’t mean to do that, I didn’t mean to make you worried about me,”“Don’t say sorry, dust yourself up, and let’s go about this another way,”She said.“How?”He whispered but she heard him anyway.“We start small, first you go upstairs, take a bath and have a clean shave while I run through getting this place back in shape, then we can do some fun things together, I won’t spend the night here just to give you the space you need but I will stay throughout the day, is that okay? We can bake, you like baking,”It sounded like it would be fun plus she was understanding enough to know that he would want to be alone.“Sure mom, I will like to spend the day with you,”He said and she smiled.“Good, now go take a shower,”She said pointing him in the direction of his bedroom, he didn’t say a word and just held over to his room to take a bath, it took him a while to be done and when he came back, his living room was clean and didn’t smell of alcohol anymore, his mom waved

“So, we are finally saying goodbye to each other, even though we still have to see each other for a while, I am glad you can finally go home,”The doctor said and Liam resisted the urge to roll his eyes at him, yeah right, he was damn sure he wasn’t.“Thank you so much for everything Doc,”His mom said on his behalf, that ever since he had a confrontation with his day, both of his parents have been laid back with him, he noticed but had tried not to put too many thoughts into it since that was what he had wanted in the first place, even while visiting him, his mom barely say anything to him, except it was pressing, maybe they were finally letting him have it but it felt off.“It is my job, Liam, I would advise you to take going to see the therapist we booked for you serious , it will help a lot,”The doctor said and Liam nodded even though he didn’t have any intentions of going to see the therapist, he wasn’t insane and didn’t need no shrink getting into his head and invading his spac

“Am I seeing Liam or someone else,”Someone said from behind him and he turned around to see a fine looking guy with curly hair walking toward him with a bright smile.“Wow, Liam? You are awake? Wow, bro, it is so good to see you alive the last time I saw your boyfriend he was looking like hell and was all worried about you, you should treat him right, he went through a lot,”The strange guy said not even giving him a chance to ask him who he was, from the way he spoke to him he must really know about him, and once again, the crazy dude was top on the list of decisions, how was he ever going to get rid of the Jordan guy from his memory when everyone he meets keeps mentioning him? It was so hard to forget him even when he no longer comes around, he hasn’t seen him since when he told him to fuck off at the hospital three weeks ago.“I am sorry do we know each other?”He asked with a puzzled look.“Did you lose your mind too? Wow, don’t tell me you don’t remember me, that will be so bad,
ECHOES OF LOVE 176
When Jordan finally decided to back to work, he realized that he couldn’t take the pity states that he got from his coworker so he decided to meet with Lucas and ask him to be transferred to another place, he liked working in California so that was where came to his mind first when he had thought of leaving New York, of course, he still needed to speak with his parents about it but first, he needed to speak with Lucas and yes he was using his privileges this time, usually, he would need to write to administration and then wait for responses but he wanted to get out of the state so bad that he didn’t mind using his privilege of being a close friend of the owner of the company, he called Lucas on his way to work this morning and Lucas had told him that he would be at the office which is why he was on his way there now to lay down his needs.“Is he in?”He asked the receptionist.“Hi, sir, yes he is and he told me to let you in so you can go in,”He thanked her and walked into Lucas's en

Liam walked up to Jordan and hugged him from behind."Hey, babes, you look extra hot today,"He whispered in his ears and Jordan let out a funny laugh."I am hot every day of the year though,"He responded."I agree, wanna go for a walk? The moms are going to send the babies to bed,"He said pulling away from him and reaching out for his hand."Sure, I will love to,"Jordan said and they both walked down the part, taking small steps and just feeling each other's presence."The weather is so nice today, it has been nice all week,"Jordan said. Liam looked down at him and smiled happily, it's been over two years since they got married and not for one day in those two years did he ever regret marrying this man, his world would not have existed if he had not fought to win him back and everyday he wakes up, stare at him in bed and thank his stars that he got him back, for him, the weather have always been good since the day he got Jordan back in his life, there hasn't been a single bad wea

"What do you mean the babies are coming? And how are they coming on the same day or are you pranking me? We still have two weeks right?"Jordan asked but he was already on his way out of the office, he didn't bother to wait for the elevator and just took the stairs, they weren't expecting until next week and this was so sudden and unexpected."I am not pulling a prank on you idiot, May is in labor and she just called,""Oh, I thought you said both of them,""No, meet me at the hospital okay?""Sure, I will be there soon,"He said and Liam hung up without another word, okay at least it wasn't the two women at the same time, he quickly got into his car and zoomed off towards the hospital, on his way there he said a little prayer and hoped that everything will go well and by the end of today they will have one of their pretty angel with them."Liam!"He called when he got into the hospital and found him sitting alone."Hey, baby,""How is May?"He asked."I don't know, we just have to wa

"Honey, you better hurry, or we are going to be late,"Liam yelled for Jordan who was still upstairs, they have been married for more than three months now and his life has been the happiest in those times, waking up each morning to Jordan was how he was meant to live his life and that's how he wanted it to be, today, they were meeting up with the surrogates, they decided to do both at once because they wanted to raise their first children together, Liam loved that they would start their own family soon and they were able to get two beautiful women to help carry their children, after this meeting, the process would start officially, all test and everything related have already been done so yes, they were going to be parents of two lovely kids in a little less than a year if everything goes as planned."You are more eager to do this than I thought, how are you so hyped up in the morning? I hate mornings,"Jordan complained coming down the stairs, he was frowning."Babe? It's not mornin

"I can't believe my best friend is going to get married, wow, I am so happy, this is the best thing that had ever happened to me,"Katrina said when she walked into his room, he rolled his eyes at her."Yeah, right, so you mean you pick this moment over your own wedding and when your two devil-angels Steria and Moon were born? I will like to see you say that when Lucas is here,"He teased."Why can't you just let me have a man? Why do you always have to be such a show spoiler? I was having fun and you just had to mention the reasons for my sleepless nights,"She said with a sad pout."Oh, I am going to add that to the list of things I am going to gossip to your husband,"He said and she glared at him."Are you my best friend or are you Lucas's spy?"She asked laying on his bed."That's the bed I spend almost every night ticking Liam on,"He announced and she was up in seconds, brushing the invisible stain off her body with a disgusted look."What the fuck? You could have warned me or
ECHOES OF LOVE 209
Liam rolled over on the bed and smiled when his body came in contact with another, he popped his eyes open to see Jordan sleeping peacefully beside him, memories of the night before flashing through his mind, he couldn't believe it, they were good again, he got him back, Jordan was his again, and his life just got better."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked as he opened his eyes, Liam felt his heart skip a beat, they never really resolved anything, all Jordan had said was for him to kiss him, what if this wasn't what he thought it was, what if Jordan just wanted them to have sex? He really didn't like the direction his mind was going and shook off the thoughts."Now why are you frowning so early in the morning? Did you have a bad dream??""No, I just, I am just,""What? You are lost for words? Good, that means I did well,"Jordan said touching his face, he still couldn't believe that this was all real, he knew he needed to apologize for real now, so he sat up."Jordan,

Jordan looked up from what he had been doing when his phone rang, he checked who it was and dropped the phone back, it was Liam's mom calling him, he didn't know what to tell her, what could he say when he told his son to fuck off, maybe she wanted to tell him to stay away from her son, he knew that wasn't possible, the phone stopped ringing and he went back to working silently but a few minutes later, it rang again, this time, he decided to pick up."Good day, mom,"He greeted as he walked out of the office towards the resting area, thankfully, no one was in, he entered and sat down."Hi, son, I am sorry to disturb you,"She responded."It's not a problem mom, it must be urgent since you are calling me, what is it?"He asked even though he already had an idea of what she might be calling for."His are you doing Jordan?"She shows shocking him, he shouldn't be shocked by her caring, she has never stopped, ever since Christmas, when she had gotten his contact again, she had made sure t
ECHOES OF LOVE 207
Like he expected it wasn't going to be easy getting Jordan back but that didn't mean he wa going to give up, no he wasn't, Jordan endured a lot and him giving up right after the first rejection would be him not trying at all, he wasn't going to back out until Jordan takes him back, he didn't want live life without him by his side, there won't be a reason for his living then.Once again he was at Jordan’s apartment waiting for him even after he has been rejected every day for the past two weeks, he just couldn’t give up, he saw Jordan’s car and got out of his, running to him before he could enter his apartment.“You are here again? What the fuck?”Jordan asked glaring at him.“Yes, I am,”He answered.“Why can't you just take a hint and leave me alone? Stop coming here, stop trying please just stop, there is no point doing all of these, I won't go back to you, I have made up my mind and nothing you can do will change that,"Jordan yelled at him."Please don't push me away Jordan, I beg

"What? What do you fucking have to say to me now Liam? What?"Jordan yelled at him, he couldn't even bring himself to believe that this was even real, that Liam was here, and that he was finally whole, that he finally remembered."How could you leave just because I asked you to? You said you love me Jordan, that you will never leave me but you did, you fucking left me and took all traces of us that would have let me remember anything from me, there was no sign of you in the house we shared, nothing, and you went away,"Liam let out, Jordan couldn't believe he was saying all these to him after everything he put him through, right now he had a lot on his mind, Kat went into labor when they were on the phone together and he was worried about her.“What are you even talking about?”“Why didn’t you stay? You said you would no matter what,”Liam said."You didn't give me the chance to stay Liam, don't talk like I just left you, you told me to get off your face, you told me I wasn't welcomed
