He was going to keep trying until the man change his mind, even though he knew it would be hard to do so with the kind of mindset Liam had, the man didn't even know that he isn't caring for himself but caring too much about not letting people decide for him."Just have to get through him somehow,"Jordan said laying on the chair and closing his eyes to calm his nerve, at least he wasn't hiding anymore, it would be much easier to find him and make him see reasons why getting surgery was more for himself

"We? More like you mom, you just dragged dad into it,"Liam cut in as they both walked into the house and his mom sat down."I know, yes it is mostly me, so put all the blame on me and don't take it out on someone else, you were so happy with him so why did you break up?"His mom asked."Mom, whether you told him or I told him we would have broken up either way, not that I have forgiven you for what you did but you need to know that Jordan and I would have broken up anyway because we both want different things, I can put up with you because I can't choose my family but not with Jordan, I won't have another person here trying to tell me how to live, no matter how I love that person,"Liam responded."So this is a hopeless case? There is no hope of you guys making up and working things out?""No more and it is for the Best, Jordan might not know it now but in the long run he will.""And you are never going to change your mind?"His mom asked and he shook his head, he knew what she was a

Jordan hurriedly picked up his phone while walking to his car, he was almost late for work, after spending the whole of last week and yesterday away from work, it would be so wrong of him to turn up late, but he had woken up late even though he had set his alarm, Mark was already around and they even added him to their team group chat and the young man had been asking him when he was going to come in for work, not to mention anniversary was coming at his face. Yesterday he had a virtual meeting with Mark and they had planned out what they are going to present to the full team, they were not done yet but he hoped to finish up today at work and he also had other things to do, today was already looking like it would be super busy for him and he was fine with that."Hey, son,"Liam's mom said when he took the call, she has become a very important and present part of his life since he and Liam broke up, he thought she would go away after the first week but that didn't stop and she made sur

"Aren't you going to say a word?"Mark asked when Jordan didn't respond to his talks."What do you want me to say? You meant a hottie, good for you,""You are no fun, you use to be so much fun when you come to Los Angeles but you are so different here you only talk to me when it is work-related and snub me the rest of this time, I picked you as my teammate because I was mostly close to you but I guess I did wrong, I should have gone for someone else, I had so many choices,"Mark complained. It wasn't his fault, he couldn't pretend to be happy when he was not, those times Mark had met him that he was referring to, Jordan had been in good moods them but with all the shits going on in his life, he couldn't entertain anyone even if he tried, it wasn't just Mark but everyone, he wasn't himself but because the others knew him enough they knew best to leave him alone and let him sort out himself but Mark didn't know that and Jordan wasn't ready to explain to him."You are not going to say a

"Yup, I figured I had to feed myself since you ran away and left me on my own,"Jordan replied with food in his mouth a habit that was Jordan's"I didn't run away,"Liam said subconsciously walking toward him and using his finger to wipe off the food on his lips, he heard his intake of breath and realize just a little too late that he wasn't supposed to be touching him, he took his hand away and walked back, putting a distance between them."Liam,"Jordan whispered his name dropping his food and walking close to him, Liam took steps back."Don't come close Jordan,"Liam said. He was too tempting, all it took was for him to be in the same room with him for Liam to remember just how starved he was, he couldn't do this to Jordan."Why Liam?
