“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,

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
