Faded (Minishaw)

Ch. 2

Simon's POV

I've been in witness protection for about 5 months now, Harry was not allowed to come with me, I wanted to take him with me so badly, but the police told me no, I miss him so much that I feel like my heart could burst, I miss all my friends that I had to leave behind, I had to start a new life, for my protection and for Harry's, I did not want to leave him but it was for the best, he would have been killed, they threatened to kill him, I had to leave, it was all for him. He might not understand that but I hope he forgives me in the future, I hope he is OK, but I just know in my heart that he is not.

"Mr. Shaw" I head called as I was sitting in the brake room at my work.

"yeah" I scream downstairs

"get to work" my boss shouts at me. He is actually a very nice guy, he is strict with the time though so it's best to always be on time.

I should probably explain my name, In witness protection, so you can't keep your name, you need a hole new identity, new name, new friends and basically a hole new life, I could chose my own name and I went with Conor Shaw. I just like the name Conor, OK I like Conor McGreggor the UFC fighter and that was pretty much the reason for the first name and Harry loves him so much, he is such a fanboy, but there is a lot more personal reason for my last name, you see I played a lot off games online like COD, Battlefield and GTA and those sorts off games. I played a lot with Harry as well. His username was always Wroetoshaw. That's why I picked it, kinda to keep him close with me even if I was not allowed to see him, at least not right now, hopefully I could see him someday in the future. But if I could see him there is a small chance that he will hate me for what I did to him, But if it means that he is alive then I'm OK with that, I would not be able to live with myself if he would be killed or hurt.

"Conor, you need to pick up these parts and do a coffee run on your way back OK" my boss told me, I'm working at a garage, I mostly drive around town and pick up spare parts and coffee, I like it, I'm alone most off the day as I'm driving all around London. I was so happy that I could actually stay in London, I was not to far away from everyone, but I just avoided the places where me and my friends used to hang out, If I did that I was OK.

"Can I pick up anything else on the way?" I ask

"No, I think that's all, I'll just call you if anything changes OK"

"OK, cool" I say as I hop in the van and drive off.

I find myself often driving by my old house,careful not to be seen, they can't see me, but I always put on glasses and I've colored my hair dark brown so I don't think they would recognize me. I've also grown it out a bit so It's longer. Also they would not be looking at the guy in the van, so I'm safe, it's just nice to see the house once in a while, I want to go in and see them so badly, but that would just mean more trouble and no one needs that.
