Chapter 12: The New Home

Ben had been on the run for weeks. He had been hiding from Alex, and he was always looking over his shoulder.

Ben was exhausted and scared, but he knew that he couldn't go on living like this. He needed to find a new home, a place where he would be safe.

One day, Ben was walking through the park when he saw a sign for a homeless shelter. He decided to go inside and see if they could help him.

The people at the shelter were very kind to Ben. They gave him a place to stay, food to eat, and clothes to wear. They also helped him to get a job and to start rebuilding his life.

Ben was finally able to relax and start to heal. He was still afraid of Alex, but he knew that he was safe at the shelter.

One day, Ben was working at his job when he saw Alex walk by. Ben's heart started to race, and he felt a wave of panic wash over him.

Alex didn't see Ben. He walked on by, oblivious to the fact that Ben was right there.

Ben knew that he was lucky that Alex hadn't seen him. But he also knew that it was only a matter of time before Alex found him again.

Ben decided that he couldn't stay at the shelter anymore. He needed to find a new place to hide.

Ben talked to the people at the shelter, and they helped him to find a new apartment. The apartment was in a different city, and it was under a fake name.

Ben moved into the new apartment and started a new life. He got a new job and made new friends. He was finally starting to feel safe again.

But Ben knew that Alex was still out there, and he knew that Alex would never give up on him.

Ben was always looking over his shoulder, always waiting for the day when Alex would find him again.
