“Why are you running away? Don’t tell me you really thought much of the kiss. Bro grow up, it is literally just a kiss, or haven’t you kissed someone before? Are you a virgin bro? You can’t be right? So you can’t be running away just because we shared a kiss,”Liam said. Jordan didn’t bother to respond to him, there was no point in engaging with him as he would just keep saying things that would make him more pissed, he walked back through the part he had taken before, walked past both of their parents in the living room and out of the house, his mom was with him as soon as he was outside.“Jordan, what’s going on? What happened?”She asked with concern, lancing her words.“When are you guys leaving? It is late,”He said avoiding her questions.“We originally planned on spending the night here but if you don’t want to, we can leave, their son is here too and I am sure he wants to have some alone time with his parents too,”His mom said and nodded in appreciation.“Can we do that pleas

“Did you guys fight? Were you being rude and mean to him again?”His mom asked after Jordan and his parents left, he didn’t know why his parents would think he was the one at fault and why did he even let them sit him down by this time of the night to question him. He should just leave, he still had time, it was just past eleven and it was Christmas Eve so people would still be up and about.After Jordan left him, he had walked back down to meet his parents walking out with his mom glaring at him.“Are you not going to answer my question, Liam? He was cool and smiling until you went to meet him when he stepped out, then he came back and he had this sad look, what did you say to him this time?”She asked in an annoyed voice.“What makes you think I said something to him that made him like that?”He asked even though he knew he did say something, he couldn’t blame himself, he hadn’t expected to like kissing him that much and had been thrown off balance by it, not that it was any good of

“Yes, that’s what I told him because that’s what it is, it was just a kiss nothing more, I told him not to get too excited about it,”“I don’t know how I raised you, Liam, maybe I did such a poor job, how could you say that to him? Are you out of your mind? That’s the most heartless thing to say right after kissing him,”She fired at him.“Mom, to be fair, he kissed me first not the other way around, and also, it is not like I fucked him, it was just a kiss damn it,”He let out.“Liam! Language,”His mom scolded.“I am sorry mom, but you are making it seem I am a huge villain here, I didn’t do anything wrong, if for anything, you should be on my side in this, not on his side, I am your son and moms support their sons,”He lamented.“Not this mom, Liam, you hear me? I am not among you out to be a villain, you are the one putting the words in my mouth, I am just telling you that what you did was wrong, even if he kissed you first, it meant more to him and having you reduce it to nothing

“Jordan? Aren’t you coming out of your room today either? You have been indoors the whole time you have been here, we barely even see you, except you want to eat and you don't talk to us either, I am honestly so worried about you son, can you talk to me already? We used to be friends,"His mom said while knocking on his door, she was exaggerating. Of course, he has been out of the house a couple of times in the last couple of days, he just didn’t stay out long and spent most of the time in his room alone, he felt guilty for not at least engaging them in talks or even sitting with them but he couldn't help it, he just wanted to be on his own, she kept banging on his door, he rolled his eyes, she damn well knew it wasn't locked.“Mom, stop banging on my door and just open it, it’s not like it is locked!”He yelled and she opened the door and walked into his room, she walked close to his bed and stood over him.“It’s New Year’s Eve, aren’t you going to time square? You use to go there ev

“Is Lucas there? You are me calling baby,”He said with a laugh as he didn’t want to go into deep emotional shits.“Shut up, Lucas knows his place when it comes to you,”“Wow, you just cursed,”He reminded her.“And whose fault is it? I miss you so much Jordan, I might not be able to keep up with you and be there but know that I love you okay?”“That’s one of the things I am sure of the most Kat, don’t worry, I know,”“Good,”“Liam and I kissed,”He suddenly announced when there was silence, the words were out before he could think about whether he should tell her or not.“What? When? How? What happened Jordan? Did you guys make up?”She asked in an eager voice.“No, we didn’t makeup,”He replied feeling sad, he wished that was the case.“Oh, then what happened? How did you guys end up kissing?”“I met him at his parent's house when I went there to be with mom and dad when I arrived home on Christmas Eve, we kissed and he told me it was just a kiss after, I got back home, cried and I

“Dude, you didn’t tell me you won’t show up after Christmas Eve! It’s been over a week since we last saw each other,”Mark accused. Liam turned back to see his friend and let out a nervous laugh, he knew he would be in trouble with Mark after he didn’t call or show up, it was already three days after the new year and he finally decided to come back home today after spending more than a week at his parent’s house.“I'm sorry, I just had a lot going on and I wanted to bond with my parents,”He lied, he didn’t bond with his parents at all, far from it, no bonding happened, the only thing that happened was them scolding him nonstop and his mom constantly reminding him that he would regret it if he finally remembers, now he wished he would just remember everything so that they could all just be at peace, his mom made it a point to tell him that he was at fault ever seconds of the day, normally before, he would have just angrily left but things were different now, he found out that he misse

“Liam! Are you still here?”He heard Mark call out loud and snapped back to reality to see Mark laughing at him, almost dropping from the chair.“What’s funny?”He asked.“You really don’t know? Weren’t you just daydreaming about a kiss that happened before Christmas?”He asked, still laughing, Liam couldn’t blame him for mocking him, he was the one that made that happen.“At least I am not the one who was cheated on Christmas Day, knee deep in someone else’s ass you said!”He fired at him even though he knew how childish that made him sound.“Shut the fuck up, that’s so low,”Mark said in annoyance getting off from the chair, Liam stood up to hold onto him when he was about to leave.“I am sorry, I am sorry, I take it back,”He said but Mark just glared at him without saying another word, he didn’t leave either.“Let go of me moron, I can’t even deal with you right now,”“I am sorry, that was petty of me, it just came out, what can I do to make it up to you?”He asked.“Well, you can
ECHOES OF LOVE 196
When Jordan had let his mom talk him into leaving the house earlier today, he never thought he would run into Liam of all people, and neither did he think Liam would be with Mark, he couldn’t help the surge of jealousy that shot through him, the temporary kind peace he found when he had walked into the bar a little while ago washed away completely, he stood up.“I knew it was you, oh my God, good to see you here, I found out you were in town from this dude,”Mark said pointing at Liam, all Jordan could notice was that they were wearing matching outfits, both had on white sleeve shirts and the same pair of black trousers, something Liam has never done with him.“Yes, I came in for Christmas,”“So I heard, it is so good to see you Jordan, it’s been a while,”“Good to see you too Mark, how have you been?”He asked, taking Mark’s hand that he offered.“I have been good bro, what about you?”“Good too,”Jordan responded.“Can we sit with you? I brought him here to have a drink since he was
