ECHOES OF LOVE 174
“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

After talking to his mom, Jordan decided that it would be better if we just leave this week rather than wait till next week so he sent a text to Lucas telling him that he will leave the next day.He got an okay from Lucas within five minutes and he decided to pack up and prepare for his travel.He couldn’t sleep the night before he had to leave, of course, it wasn’t easy for him leaving behind everything he was used to and move to another state, But he had to do it, and there was no going back, with the way he was feeling, if he doesn’t make the move now, it might affect him in the long run, still he felt like he was rushing it, maybe he could have tried being patient a little more if he was given the chance to, if Liam didn’t hate him so much, maybe it would have been much more easier to patiently wait for him to come back to him but the man was cruel, very cruel.“This is for the best,”He said to himself as he tried to get some sleep.He was up early the next morning, and was surpr

Liam decided to finally go see the therapist his doctor had recommended for him, he just knew he needed to speak with someone or he would go mad with the kind of thoughts he was having, he didn’t know if it was after symptoms of him being in a coma for so long or if it is the loneliness that was making him this way, all he knew was that he hated how he was feeling and needed solution.He woke up earlier on Thursday morning and called the shrink that he would be coming to his office to see him, the doctor must have been expecting his call because she responded that she would be expecting him, after making an appointment, Liam took his bath and managed to eat breakfast before leaving the house, he boarded a cab to the hospital, a different hospital from the one he had spent so much time in, he honestly didn’t want to go back there but he still had to but not right now.“Good to finally have you here,”The doctor said as he entered his office.“Do you know me?”He had to ask, he couldn’t

“I don’t think you did right by letting him go just because you don’t remember what you shared, that shit hurts like hell and I know how much in love with you that man was, you saying it like it was easy, Jordan is soft-hearted, it must have hurt him a lot,”Mark responded, Liam, didn’t know how best to respond to his claim, of course, he already knew he could have done better, but maybe it was for the best, His forgetting alone should prove that they weren’t really that close as people were making them out to be.“I don’t know Mark, I don’t even feel anything, not even a sign of being close to him, with you, I got a connection even though I didn’t know who you were but him? I was just angry, maybe because I thought it was my parent’s doing shits again, now no matter what I do, I can’t think beyond that,”He responded.“Speaking of parents, I don’t know yours but I am pretty sure they are trying to do what is best for you,”Mark said and he let out a chuckle as he dropped the food, he

The first day of work wasn’t all rosy because he hated to start anew but what choice did he have? Since he had to resume work almost immediately he knew it won’t take time for him to adapt, and the fact that he had worked with them a couple of times before, he took his bath early in the morning as he didn’t want to go to work on his first day late, it felt odd because even though this was it his first time working in Cal, it was still his first time as a full staff here.Jordan arrived at work only a few minutes past seven and there were already a lot of people in the building, he was used to this too because he has seen a lot when he comes here for a working visit, and he got a warm welcome from his new coworkers and that’s how his day started, he mixed working with his team in New York and found himself calling out their names a few times when he wanted to ask a question, but lunch he already had two meetings and a bunch of editing and redesigning to do, he didn’t even spend up to t

“Kat, you are blowing all these out of proportion, I am literally in California, that’s not even up to two hours airplane ride from New York, why are you acting as if I moved to another continent??? I didn’t! I am still in the US right?”He let out, he was tired and should be resting but she was talking as if they haven’t spoken in a long time.“You aren’t even going to listen? No? I am wasting my time with you?”“That’s not it, all I am saying is you should stop acting like this, I moved because I needed to, it’s not that deep, you know I was going through shits, I just couldn’t be in New York anymore, if you don’t understand my need to leave then I don’t know what to say to you,”He responded.“You are not getting the point, are you? You didn’t tell me, that’s the point, I am not mad because you left, I am not mad because you decided New York wasn’t for you anymore, I am mad because you didn’t tell me and I am supposed to be your friend, I fucking told Lucas he was a joker, called y

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.

"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

"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

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
