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

Jordan stared at his computer screen barely seeing anything, he was so lost in his thought that for a moment he didn’t remember where he was and just what he was doing, it’s been over two months since he moved here to California and even though he wasn’t in his best right now, he was actually doing better than he would have thought, leaving New York was the best decision for him, even though his parents have been pressing him to come back home for Christmas celebrations, he just wasn’t in the mood to celebrate especially not in a city that he did his best to forget about.The past two months here have been busy for him, he didn’t let his sadness weigh him down and unlike the office in New York, he didn’t get any pity stares here which help him a lot, the people here were friendly too and he was able to hang out with them a couple of time, not to mention he enjoyed working here.Of course, he still gets sad when his mind went to Liam, he hasn’t heard from him or his parents since he ca

“Don’t make me cry you, idiot, I am a hormonal woman,”Kat said in a dramatic way, Jordan rolled his eyes, hormonal or not Kat was the same sassy woman, and he didn’t want to be the reason for her to feel bad.“Yeah, like you didn’t start it, I love you too Kat, and would want to go back to our childhood too but I am happy with the way things are now, you are doing fine and that’s what I want,”He said with a smile.“Yeah, but you are not, and if you are not then I can be happy, I don’t want you to be alone for Christmas Jordan and I can’t be with you either, please go home,”She pleaded, it was true and it hurt, he has never spent Christmas alone.“Don’t worry about me Katrina, I am doing better than you think.”“Fine, I love you bye,”She said and hung up without letting his reply.“Yeah, such fake love,”He mouthed as he closed his eyes to sleep.The next two days went by in a flash and all he could think about was what Kat had told him, everyone at the office was either going home
