He Signed My Cast {Connor x Evan}

Connor Murphy {25}

Me and Evan made small conversation while we were waiting for Jared to arrive. But of course, during one of our conversations, Jared decided to interrupt.

"Hey there gay guys!" He said as he sat across from us.

"Hey Jared. How are things?" I said annoyed.

"Fine I guess. You guys?"

"I'm fine. But Evan here seems to be... upset or something?"

Evan stared down at the floor, like he was ashamed that I said that.

"Oh. That. You havent told him yet have you Evan?"

He shook his head and continued to stare at the floor.

"Tell me what?"

Jared stared at Evan, like he was concerned and curious.

"Connor? Have you ever wonder how Evan broke his arm?"

"Well I wanted to ask him. But I thought he wouldnt want to talk about it. Seemed like a sensitive topic for him. Why?"

I saw Evan and Jared look at each other, Evan was scared and looked like he could start crying.

"Evan. You need to tell him. It'll be better for you and him. I'm gonna go to the bathroom. You better tell him or I will."

Jared got up and left the table. I looked down at Evan and he still seemed scared. I grabbed him hand and stared at him.

"Evan. How'd you break your arm?"

There was silence between the two of us. I was starting to worry for Evan. He knows he can tell me anything. Right?"

"Hey. You should know by now that you can tell me anything. You dont need to be afraid. I wont judge you."

He didnt say anything again.

"How'd you break your arm?"

I saw his lips move slowly, like he was whispering it.

"How'd you break your arm? Please. Answer me."

"I-I.... I fell out of a tree....."

He said quietly.

"A tree? Like in accident? When?"

"It was during the summer. I was just in a tree and I fell. Broke my arm."

"Did it happen on accident? Like did the branch or something give out causing you to fall?"

"I-I-I.....-"

He started whispering again.

"What?"

"I meant to do it..."

"You.... you what?"

"I meant to do it. I was kinda in the tree for a reason."

"Why?"

"Cause I wanted it to end.... I didn't like how everything was for me. No friends. No family. I had my mom but she was always away. I had Jared,  it we barely talked or interacted with him. At the time, I was scared. Still kinda am."

"I get it."

He looked up at me with surprise in his eyes.

"You do?"

"Yeah. I was kinda like you. You remember how I was before me and you met? Yeah, I was like that for years. Until I met you."

"Really? Your not mad or anything?"

"Of course not! I'm not mad. I could never be mad at you. I get it."

He continued to stare at me, until he started crying and he collapsed into my arms. I smiled down at him and kissed his forehead.

"Its ok. It's ok. You dont need to be afraid to tell me things like that. Alright?"

"Ok." He whispered.

At that time Jared came back to the table.

"Awww! What a cute gay couple."

I gave him the irritated look.

"Jared. Shut up!"

I rolled my eyes at Jared and shook my head.

What a weird dude Jared is.

I looked at Evan as he continued to hug me tightly. I hugged him back just as tightly and kissed his head once again.

I'll protect and love Evan no matter what he does, no matter what happens. I love you Evan Hansen.
