I didn't know him. [PAUSED]

The calm before the storm

It was 11:00 at night on a Saturday and Connor and Evan were hanging out in Evans room. Connor often snuck out at night to see Evan, not because they weren't allowed to hang out just simply because for whatever reason Connor wouldn't tell any of his family about him and Evans friendship. Evan on the other hand told the only other people he knew, everything about him and Connor, Heidi Hansen(Evans mom), and Jared Kleinman(Evans family friend).
   Their friendship had started online when Evan received an email from conman_murph420@gmail.com one day after school in ninth. They talked about their problems and helped each other out in desperate situations. It wasn't until two months into emailing that they started hanging out in person, it had now been two years. "Hey Ev?" Connor asked Evan. Evan hummed a response as he doodled little silver stars on each of Connors freckles. "Why are you so fascinated with my freckles?" He asked with a little chuckle. Because I love everything about you. Evan thought. "Because I don't have any" was what Evan really responded with, and he wasn't lying. Though Evan had blemishes and acne he did not have a single freckle anywhere on his body. Connor looked at him slight disbelief in his eyes. "You're joking right?" Evan shook his head. "Nope, never been able to find any at all" Evan concluded. Connor nodded silently somewhat impressed. Evan finished covering each freckle on Connors left arm with a star. "Now roll up your right sleeve I want to do more" Evan said. Connor stopped for a moment. "I think you've done enough stars haven't you" he questioned. Evan looked up at Connor with puppy dog eyes. "Please I really like decorating your arms" he begged. Connor gave Evan a look that said I'm not negotiating please don't ask any more questions. Evan sighed and flopped down onto the bed. "Well I think I should head home Ev" Connor suggested. "Yeah it's pretty late isn't it" Evan agreed. Connor nodded and headed to Evans window. "Oh I almost forgot, could I borrow a piece of paper and a pen?" Connor asked. "Sure" Evan handed Connor a sheet of lined paper and his favourite blue gel pen. "Thanks Ev" And with that Connor was gone, out the window and down the tree. Evan clicked off his lamp, climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.
