Running, that's all he knew to do, Alarms where blaring leaves where crunching under his bare feet he was in a pair of old cotton shorts and a burgundy Henley short sleeve shirt on, His hair was long he had been able to keep that, it was the only thing he could keep, he had been punished for it though it was 20 blows for the cat o nine tail whip. He heard the metallic pops of a gun, it sounded like a car backfiring he ducked and kept on running. A bag slung over his shoulder with about one thousand dollars in cash shoved into it.

It used to be normal, he used to have a lovely life he used to be a normal kid in high school, well as normal he could be with untreated bipolar and depression, that's was until his family joined a cult they were known as the marked ones, at first he thought it was just his mother's weird craze of the month, he was wrong, he had a boyfriend Evan Hansen was his name, he needed to get to him, they where able to send letters to each other in secret. Connor eventually lost the rest of the people chasing him and found a good hiding spot he hid and pulled out a letter the last one Evan sent

Dear Connor Murphy,

God I miss you, it's been 203 days since you've been gone, Jared has been telling me that I need to get out again, but I can't I know you'll get back to me, that place your staying sounds terrifying, I'm still living in the same house.

I love you; the police say they haven't found anything against the leader or the spendings of the cult yet, they keep saying that they won't find anything, I think they are giving up. The place you are its in a different state, I hope you can escape soon, I miss your warmth, I miss your sarcastic comments. Schools been okay, Jared has been nicer than normal, I think he pity's me, I went to the orchard yesterday, I cried, I found the tree that you carved our initials in, where we me.

I got a dog, he's a Germen Shepard I named him Oak, he keeps me company, I can't wait for you to meet him, i remember how you talked about getting a animal well mostly a dog, Oak reminds me of you, he's kind, caring but also rough around the edges, he's a rescue dog, he's 2 months old, his old owners neglected him and tried to put him into a dog fighting ring.

Hows your life going now? Have they left you alone, with your hair yet or are you still fighting that? i miss you. I love you connor, always

Sincerely, me

Ps. Jared and Alana say hi and heres a picture of Oak

The letter he sent back was simple and it was short

Dear Evan Handsen

I'll be home, soon I promise, mark my word

Love you too

Sincerely, me

Connor held the note to his chest and cried, he cried of relif of being out of that place, he cried because he could see evan againhe slowly fell asleep, he woke up a few hours later to a loud shout and a bright light being shone at his face

"I found him cynthia,"

It was his father and mother

Connor scrambled to his feet taking steps back

"oh connor you scared us, come home now an you wont be punished by father marlin as much,"

"no I will never come back to that hell hole, they abuse me, they have threatened to rape me and they have touched me, I am not," connor shook and had tears sliding down his face

"connor!" his father said sternly

Connor turned and ran not looking where he was going, he wasn't fast enough for his father, he forgot larry used to play baseball, he had wrapped his arms restraining connor
