ECHOES OF LOVE 87
Jordan sat in his car after speaking to Liam on the phone, he wanted to ask him but he couldn't get the words out, they were just so heavy, Liam didn't even talk like someone who was sick, heck he was healthy, so how was he sick? he started the car and drove to the office.Jordan walked like a ghost back to the office, he didn't even know how he was about to get there without missing his way, he still had a meeting to attend but he didn't feel like doing anything, his whole world was closing in on him, he sat on his seat in the office just staring at the screen of the computer in front of him while his mind ran through the months he and Liam had been together, there had been no indication that he had a life-threatening health issue, he didn't look sick, the only time he had noticed was when he had been in pain once and that stopped and had not happened again, okay the drugs, but he didn't know much about drugs to know what those had been for, he just thought Liam had those because he

Liam yelled at him. That got Jordan angry."Why are you fucking raising your voice at me Liam? You don't have a right to, and yes, I met with your parents, and they told me everything, was that why you didn't want me talking to them? Why you act all possessive of your mom? You didn't want them spilling your secrets?""I didn't want them to tell you, I was going to talk to you myself, they shouldn't have interfered,"Liam responded. Jordan had to laugh."Liam? Just until when did you plan on keeping this away from me? We have been together for almost half a year, five fucking months, until when did you intend to keep it from me? And when were you ever going to tell me? Or I don't deserve to know?Jordan yelled losing his mind."I told you I was going to tell you,""When? When were you going to tell me? I have you a chance to tell me yourself just now and you still didn't say anything, you had no plans to tell me don't fucking lie,""I did, I had planned on telling you, I just have not

Liam turned around at Jordan's words staring at him, he could see the hurt in his eyes and he hated it, hated everything that happened and is still happening, hated the fact that his parents took away his chance of talking to Jordan himself, he couldn't even face him, he had wanted to tell himself and had been preparing himself to do it, imagine his shock when Jordan had asked him those questions, it never crossed his mind that that's what he wanted to know about because he had trusted his parents but once again they proved to him that he wasn't the one they were looking at for, no they were looking out for their own interest."Liam if you leave this house, we are done and I don't fucking care, just don't come back,"Jordan said turned and went back into the house, he contemplated just going over and giving his parents a piece of his mind, how could they do this to him? They didn't even give him a warning, they could have talked to him but they didn't, they just went ahead and spoke t

"But you can get surgery and get better,""That's not how it works Jordan, I don't get better after surgery, there are so many risks, let's say I don't die on the table, I might not be able to do the basic things I use to do before, what is life if I can't do the things I want to do anymore? What is life if I have to use a wheelchair all through? What is life? I can't go where I want to by myself because I can't do it anymore? Is it worth living? No, it is not for me, I can't live like that,"He responded."That's not going to happen,""And you know that how? Do you even know my conditions? Do you know how risky a heart bypass surgery is? And what more for someone who has done the surgery before and have done other surgery too, if you think I am just saying it because I am scared then I am not going to have this conversation with you, you should know what you are talking about before you pest me, at least know about my condition,"Liam let out. He was tired already and wanted this con

"So, you planned on telling me and also giving me a ring? Liam? And you want me to believe that?"Jordan asked. He was damn tired but they had to finish this tonight, he knew he wasn't going to get any sleep if the issue is still pending, so they were going to be done with it, even though they were barely making any progress, the bottom line was to get Liam to agree to surgery nothing else."Yes, I even brought the ring, it has been with me for a while now,""Since when?""Going to three weeks now,"Liam responded."I don't believe you Liam I don't believe anything you say when you have been lying to me since we met,"Jordan responded. He was lying about the engagement, he was lying, he has been lying to him why would he stop now, he was the fool in all of this, he didn't ask questions, didn't bother him enough to tell him more about himself, he had told Liam everything about him but he didn't bother to make Liam do the same, he had been blinded by love and lost, he wasn't even sure L

Jordan let out. He was almost going to cry again and it was all Liam's fault, the man just didn't want to listen to him, and it was so hard for him to bear, to see Liam act like he doesn't care about his feelings."Jordan, all my life I have had people decide for me, I grew up doing everything my parents ask me to, from his I lived, what I ate, who I talked with, the place I go what I wear, what I studied on school, everything, all of it was his my parents wanted me to be and this one time I choose to not do, as they say, to make my own choices and I can't even have that? Why don't you try living like the way I did, maybe you would under, I didn't have any friends, I wasn't allowed to play because I might fall, and it might land me in the hospital, I wasn't allowed to go to school as normal children do, I was homeschooled, while in Uni I didn't get freedom either, I didn't endure all those years just so someone can come and make me do what they ask again,"Liam let out. Jordan could o

"What did you say?"Jordan asked him, he heard the crack in his voice but Liam already made up his mind, he couldn't do this anymore, what he feared the most have happened, Jordan wanted him to do what the others were asking him to do, no one was on his side, he thought Jordan will be even though he knew the chances were slim, he still hoped that Jordan would be on his side, but he had only been deluding himself, no one thought of him when it comes to this, everyone thinks of their own pain but not his."I can't do this with you anymore Jordan, I want out, I am just going to leave because there is no point dragging this issue, I don't and will never do what you want me to, I have made that decision long before I even knew you, nothing you are going to say will make me change my mind so let's not push it okay?"Liam said. He hated that he had to say these words, it broke his heart that he had to call things off with them but that was the only solution, there was no point in being toget
ECHOES OF LOVE 94
Jordan went to bed that night crying, the last time he had cried was more than a year ago, that time he thought the pain couldn't get worst but nothing prepared him for the pain he was feeling after Liam broke things off with him and left him in the house, it all felt so surreal, Jordan felt he went about the whole situation wrongly, but nothing prepared him for it and nothing also prepared him for the outcome, Liam didn't even give him a chance, Everything just happened so fast that it left him drained and feeling down, he couldn't even get up to pull his clothes, neither did he bother to eat, he couldn't do anything just lay on the bed right after Liam left and cried.He had the mind to go after him and tell him to stay but he couldn't, Liam was backing out for the wrong reasons, even if they make up and Jordan decided to forget the fact that he didn't tell him about his condition all the months they were dating, that won't change the fact that Liam was going to die if he doesn't ha

Liam walked up to Jordan and hugged him from behind."Hey, babes, you look extra hot today,"He whispered in his ears and Jordan let out a funny laugh."I am hot every day of the year though,"He responded."I agree, wanna go for a walk? The moms are going to send the babies to bed,"He said pulling away from him and reaching out for his hand."Sure, I will love to,"Jordan said and they both walked down the part, taking small steps and just feeling each other's presence."The weather is so nice today, it has been nice all week,"Jordan said. Liam looked down at him and smiled happily, it's been over two years since they got married and not for one day in those two years did he ever regret marrying this man, his world would not have existed if he had not fought to win him back and everyday he wakes up, stare at him in bed and thank his stars that he got him back, for him, the weather have always been good since the day he got Jordan back in his life, there hasn't been a single bad wea

Two Years Later..."Happy birthday son,"He heard Liam's mom's voice before he saw her, they were all here, his parents and Liam's parents, it was his thirty-third birthday and he had invited them to their house for a small family party, he invited Kat too but she couldn't make it this time and said she will make it up to him."Thanks, mom, you guys are welcome,""You are looking extra handsome today my son,"His mom said."Don't pull my legs mom,"He responded as they exchanged hugs and Liam's parents gave him his present, his parent didn't have any presents with them but he didn't bother to ask, his husband and kids came out a few moments later to welcome them.They all went to the dining table to eat his birthday dinner after which Liam went out to play with the kids, he talked with his parents for a while before leaving them to go outside too, his parents had a unique relationship with Liam's parents, he could say they were best friends as they go to each other's house and even go

"What do you mean the babies are coming? And how are they coming on the same day or are you pranking me? We still have two weeks right?"Jordan asked but he was already on his way out of the office, he didn't bother to wait for the elevator and just took the stairs, they weren't expecting until next week and this was so sudden and unexpected."I am not pulling a prank on you idiot, May is in labor and she just called,""Oh, I thought you said both of them,""No, meet me at the hospital okay?""Sure, I will be there soon,"He said and Liam hung up without another word, okay at least it wasn't the two women at the same time, he quickly got into his car and zoomed off towards the hospital, on his way there he said a little prayer and hoped that everything will go well and by the end of today they will have one of their pretty angel with them."Liam!"He called when he got into the hospital and found him sitting alone."Hey, baby,""How is May?"He asked."I don't know, we just have to wa

"Honey, you better hurry, or we are going to be late,"Liam yelled for Jordan who was still upstairs, they have been married for more than three months now and his life has been the happiest in those times, waking up each morning to Jordan was how he was meant to live his life and that's how he wanted it to be, today, they were meeting up with the surrogates, they decided to do both at once because they wanted to raise their first children together, Liam loved that they would start their own family soon and they were able to get two beautiful women to help carry their children, after this meeting, the process would start officially, all test and everything related have already been done so yes, they were going to be parents of two lovely kids in a little less than a year if everything goes as planned."You are more eager to do this than I thought, how are you so hyped up in the morning?

"I can't believe my best friend is going to get married, wow, I am so happy, this is the best thing that had ever happened to me,"Katrina said when she walked into his room, he rolled his eyes at her."Yeah, right, so you mean you pick this moment over your own wedding and when your two devil-angels Steria and Moon were born? I will like to see you say that when Lucas is here,"He teased."Why can't you just let me have a man? Why do you always have to be such a show spoiler? I was having fun and you just had to mention the reasons for my sleepless nights,"She said with a sad pout."Oh, I am going to add that to the list of things I am going to gossip to your husband,"He said and she glared at him."Are you my best friend or are you Lucas's spy?"She asked laying on his bed."That's the bed I spend almost every night ticking Liam on,"He announced and she was up in seconds, brushing the invisible stain off her body with a disgusted look."What the fuck? You could have warned me or
ECHOES OF LOVE 209
Liam rolled over on the bed and smiled when his body came in contact with another, he popped his eyes open to see Jordan sleeping peacefully beside him, memories of the night before flashing through his mind, he couldn't believe it, they were good again, he got him back, Jordan was his again, and his life just got better."Why are you looking at me like that?"Jordan asked as he opened his eyes, Liam felt his heart skip a beat, they never really resolved anything, all Jordan had said was for him to kiss him, what if this wasn't what he thought it was, what if Jordan just wanted them to have sex? He really didn't like the direction his mind was going and shook off the thoughts."Now why are you frowning so early in the morning? Did you have a bad dream??""No, I just, I am just,""What? You are lost for words? Good, that means I did well,"Jordan said touching his face, he still couldn't believe that this was all real, he knew he needed to apologize for real now, so he sat up."Jordan,

Jordan looked up from what he had been doing when his phone rang, he checked who it was and dropped the phone back, it was Liam's mom calling him, he didn't know what to tell her, what could he say when he told his son to fuck off, maybe she wanted to tell him to stay away from her son, he knew that wasn't possible, the phone stopped ringing and he went back to working silently but a few minutes later, it rang again, this time, he decided to pick up."Good day, mom,"He greeted as he walked out of the office towards the resting area, thankfully, no one was in, he entered and sat down."Hi, son, I am sorry to disturb you,"She responded."It's not a problem mom, it must be urgent since you are calling me, what is it?"He asked even though he already had an idea of what she might be calling for."His are you doing Jordan?"She shows shocking him, he shouldn't be shocked by her caring, she has never stopped, ever since Christmas, when she had gotten his contact again, she had made sure t
ECHOES OF LOVE 207
Like he expected it wasn't going to be easy getting Jordan back but that didn't mean he wa going to give up, no he wasn't, Jordan endured a lot and him giving up right after the first rejection would be him not trying at all, he wasn't going to back out until Jordan takes him back, he didn't want live life without him by his side, there won't be a reason for his living then.Once again he was at Jordan’s apartment waiting for him even after he has been rejected every day for the past two weeks, he just couldn’t give up, he saw Jordan’s car and got out of his, running to him before he could enter his apartment.“You are here again? What the fuck?”Jordan asked glaring at him.“Yes, I am,”He answered.“Why can't you just take a hint and leave me alone? Stop coming here, stop trying please just stop, there is no point doing all of these, I won't go back to you, I have made up my mind and nothing you can do will change that,"Jordan yelled at him."Please don't push me away Jordan, I beg

"What? What do you fucking have to say to me now Liam? What?"Jordan yelled at him, he couldn't even bring himself to believe that this was even real, that Liam was here, and that he was finally whole, that he finally remembered."How could you leave just because I asked you to? You said you love me Jordan, that you will never leave me but you did, you fucking left me and took all traces of us that would have let me remember anything from me, there was no sign of you in the house we shared, nothing, and you went away,"Liam let out, Jordan couldn't believe he was saying all these to him after everything he put him through, right now he had a lot on his mind, Kat went into labor when they were on the phone together and he was worried about her.“What are you even talking about?”“Why didn’t you stay? You said you would no matter what,”Liam said."You didn't give me the chance to stay Liam, don't talk like I just left you, you told me to get off your face, you told me I wasn't welcomed
