ECHOES OF LOVE 192
“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

“Did you have fun today?”His mom asked coming into his room without knocking, he glared at her.“Can you at least knock?”“I did, you didn’t answer,”She responded, walked into his room, and sat on his bed.“Oh,”“Yeah, you okay right?”She asked and he nodded, turning to her.“Yes, I am fine, I had fun, I ran into someone I know and we caught up on a lot, it was worth it,”He lied, it would have been true if he had actually listened to what Mark had talked about but he didn’t, he had been much too absolved in his thoughts about the man who would never be his again, he was so stupid.“I am glad you did, now say thank you, if I didn’t tell you to go out, you would have been stuck here and won’t have met your old friend,”She said and he rolled his eyes and walked to his bed.“So you want me to tell you ‘thank you for the barest minimum?? I am your only child, you are supposed to look after me,”He responded.“Wow, how did we go from there to here? It doesn’t correlate and I am quite a

“You know, you guys would have made up if you had just followed him and talked to him that at, he looked like he was ready to listen but you were just too prideful to do the needful, I told you to not let him go,”Mark said a thousand times, the same thing he has been saying for four straight days now, he wasn’t even letting him breathe, now he regretted agreeing to be his buddy through his break-up phase, the man wasn’t even dealing with his heartbreak but was all over him about Jordan.Mark had insisted that he run after Jordan when they had met him at the bar that day but he saw no point in it, there was nothing he wanted to say to the man, except to kiss him again and that was a big no, he knew if he did, Jordan would definitely slap him.He had an annoyed look throughout their conversation and never once looked in his direction, he could have sworn that he was cursing at him in his mind, so when Mark had suggested that he go talk to him, he had said a straight no and told him he
ECHOES OF LOVE 199
The doctor said as he left the room, Liam closed his eyes, he hated to be back in the hospital, hated that he was sick again, and wished this was nothing huge like he feared.Shortly after the doctor left, two nurses came to help him out of the room, they first took him to the laboratory to get his blood drawn and then to the MRI center, he didn’t see Mark and just assumed that he left to get back to work, it felt lonely sitting alone while waiting for his turn, but then his parents arrived right before he was met to enter, the doctor must have briefed them before they got to the hospital because they didn’t talk loud or ask him many questions, his mom just held his hands tight while his dad stood in the corner watching them.After getting everything down, he was finally able to get painkillers and fell asleep as soon as he got back to the hospital room he was admitted.He was allowed to go home after he woke up and his parents decided that it would be best for him to go home with the
