I don't really think anyone writes Home and Away anymore, but oh well I'm going to anyway! Casey is my favorite and he was unjustly taken from us before his time. So now I'm going to torture him a little. Enjoy!
Trauma
Chapter One
Casey had woken up for school same as the day before, his usually routine. But it was when his knees buckled and he drew a ragged breath, he knew he wouldn't make it to school today.

"Can't breathe." Before he collapsed in Brax's open arms.
