If he was abused it'll take much longer than 2 weeks to gain his trust.

Here's an article that may help:

Hi its true abused animals take longer to trust people plus the fact you have only had him 2weeks.

Keep talking calmly and gently to him in time he will learn to trust you and hopefully come to you.
But you also have to remember there are some animals that have been abused never trust people again.

Take it slow and allow him to come to you when he is ready.
