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

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

"You are not that big, and you are so pretty,""Yeah, Lucas tells me that lie every time so I believe,"She responded.“You are pretty, believe it because it is the truth,”“Sure, so how are you doing?”“Doing good and feeling just fine,”He responded and for the first time in a long time, it was the truth, he was doing just fine.“That’s so good to know, I am so happy to have you back Jordan, let’s heal and move on, who knows, you might find love and happiness in love again,”She said. But he didn’t think that would be the case for him."I don't think I would ever be happy with another man but I can be happy with myself, and I am going to have a baby too, not this year but maybe next year, I can plan it all ahead and achieve it and be the best dad in the world to my baby,"He said in excitement, he could hear Asteria giggle in the background."I am so happy that you are okay now Jordan!"Kat said."Right, me too, plus I made new friends, do women really have such strong hearts?

"I am on my way back already, I don't understand why you couldn't just place an order,"Liam complained to his mom who had sent him to the fruit store to get fresh fruits, a peck of being the only child and being at his parent's house, these days, he spent more time with them and he finally let his dad talk him into to the company here in New York, well, he didn't do much there because he barely had any idea what's going on, but it was kind of fun to listen to their meetings.He has been working on himself a lot lately and trying his best to mend his bad ways, the chaos he created with everyone when he came back, the only person he still hasn't been able to reach was the one he seem to have offended the most, maybe it was pride stopping him or maybe he didn't just want to raise death issues but he found himself stopping each time he tries to reach out."You know you can't tell which is fresh online, so stop complaining and get back here,"His mom answered, cutting off his train of tho

"You my baby, deserve only the best, so don't ever think you deserve less,"“I don’t know, I feel I have done too much damage to even deserve anything,”He cried.“No, don’t say that, all you have to do now is make things right, your dad and I of course don’t hold anything against you, you are our son and we love you so much, the person you need to apologize to the most is Jordan, even if he doesn’t want you back, you can at least ask for his forgiveness for the way you treated him,”His mom said but it hurt, it hurt that there might be a huge chance that Jordan would not want anything to do with him, he didn’t like the thought of that, didn’t want it to be true.

How he save him and loved him?“I don’t want to lose him, mom, I love him so much, I can’t live without him, it just doesn’t make any sense, his found I forget just like that?
