Casey was sitting on the couch, flicking through the stations trying to find something to watch, Heath came barging through the door. "Hey Grommet" Heath joked while he continued on to the kitchen, he opened the fridge door and grunted annoyed when there was no food in the fridge.

"Oi. Have you eaten all the food?" Heath asked angered as he walked out to the loungeroom and looked sternly down at Casey.

"Nup" Casey said before flicking the station again and turning up the volume to blare out Heaths voice. Annoyed Heath walked over to the television and switched it off.

"Oi, I'm talking to you-" Heath was saying before the window in the loungeroom shattered. The older brother instinctively pushed Casey off the couch and onto the ground.

Heath shielded Casey's body from any further attacks and when Heath thought the place was clear he got up from protecting Casey. "What was that?" Casey asked, brushing down his clothes from the glass shards.

Heath glanced around the house, "I dunno. Just stay close"

Casey nodded and stuck by, a car screeched up to the front and then Heath could hear Brax cursing from outside. The door slammed open and Brax threw his keys along the floor.

"What the hell happened?!"

"I dunno. Someone threw rocks at our window, smashed it" Heath replied gruffly, Casey glanced around, looking at the mess on the floor.

"Did you piss someone off?" Brax demanded to know, pointing at Heath.

The middle brother screwed his face up and shook his head, "No, nothing out of the ordinary"

Brax shook his head and joined his hands behind his head, "What about you Ey?"

Casey glanced up and instantly shook his head, before breaking the eye contact. Brax raised his eyebrow "Oi, I'm talking to you"

Casey couldn't tell Brax who he thought had caused it. "His lying. His got that same look as when he was little and used to steal my magazines" Heath teased

"I know his lying and anyway you stole them from me to begin with" Brax replied, receiving a cheeky smirk back from Heath.

Casey sighed and went to try and leave the house, he knew that getting past Brax would be an issue. "I'm going to the beach"

Casey went to storm past Brax but the older brother grabbed Casey and held him back, "Do you know something?"

Casey shook his head, "Nup" He said trying to get past Brax again but resulted in Brax pushing Casey into the couch

"Tell me" Brax said sternly, Casey sighed and put his hands up in defeat. Brax let go and pointed to the kitchen table, instructing him to go and sit down.

Casey reluctantly sat down, "So what'd you do Case. Steal someone's school book?" He teased, almost laughing at his own joke befo Brax shot him a glare

"Shut up Heath. I got into a fight-" Casey retailiated before he stopped himself mid sentence, knowing he'd already said way too much. Brax crouched down to stare Casey down in the eyes.

"Way to go Case!" Heath smirked, Brax was beyond annoyed and shook his head

"Fight, what fight?" Brax questioned, cupping his hand around the back of Casey's neck.

"It was nothing"

"Bullshit it was nothing. That's probably the reason why there's a rock been thrown through our window, now who did you mess with?!"

Casey bit down on his lip and his eyes darted around the room, "It was Jake" Casey mumbled

"Shit" Heath muttered, Brax slammed his hands down on the table angered, his hands tingling when he ran them through his hair.

"Jake Pirovic, are you freaking kidding me?!" Brax shouted out, Casey flinched at how angered and harsh his voice was, Brax was now beyond mad.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get into a fight. It sorta just happened"

"How did it sorta, just happen?" Brax responded, Casey shrugged and Brax slammed his hand back on the table.

"Alright, alright" Case sighed, "I got into a fight with one of the boys in his gang that goes to my school, Jake turned up and I sorta broke his nose...I'm also expelled"

Heaths eyes widened in astonishment, "Who would of thought nerd boy would have broken Pirovics nose and your expelled, this day keeps getting better"

"Your expelled!" Brax shouted out, "What the hell happened, why didnt I know?" Brax asked, trying to ignore how proud Heath was of Casey.

"Tom said stuff, pushed me to the limit and was all up in my face. So I punched him and we started getting into a fight, next thing Jakes there. He ripped me off and pushed me into the wall, I wiggled free and punched him. Then ran off"

"This was all at school?" Brax questioned, Casey nodded.

Brax shook his head and grabbed his keys, turning to Heath, "Oi. Your coming with me!"

Casey stood up abruptly, ready to come as well, Brax chuckled, but it wasn't a happy laugh it was an annoyed and angered laugh, "You ain't coming, you've caused enough for one day. Sit, don't move!"

Casey reluctantly sat down on the couch and let out a groan, "Whatever"

Brax pushed Heath out the door and they loaded into his Ute, "What are we going to do?"

"What we always do, gather the boys and rip Pirovic and his gang apart"

Heath grinned, "Awesome!"

Half n hour later, Brax had gathered his gang of boys, they were all standing in a line behind Heath and Brax, there eyes focused on the stretch of beach infront of them. In the distance they could see the silhouettes of several members, two leading them up to Brax's gang.

Brax was ready to take on Hammer, Heath ready to take on Pirovic, they knew they could easily bring those two down and the other boys would take down the rest of the gang.

"Oi, your dead shit brother punched my brother and one of the boys" Hammer said gruffly, his eyes locked on Brax's. Heath sussed Jake out.

"Atleast it's somewhat of an improvement" Heath joked, Jake stepped closer up to Heath, trying to intimidate him to the best of his abilities.

"Thought you dropped out, what were you doing at the school?" Brax asked, raising his eye brow

"Needed to pay your brother a little shit is going to get what's coming. Where Is he?"

"He doesn't need to get involved in this. It'll end between us." Brax spat back, Hammer smirked and tilted his head to the side

"Alright then Braxt-" Hammer was saying before he was cut of by the yelling and shouting of Heath and Jake fighting on the ground, sand flying everywhere.

Brax took this opportunity to tackle Hammer to the ground aswell, sending punches all over his face and body, "You ever set Jake or anyone else on Casey and I swear to god I'll kill you"

The rest of the gang were brawling in the beach, people were gathering around, until they realized who was actually brawling and people started to run off, knowing that anything was possible to happen with these two gangs.

Brax was about to punch Hammer one last time, before he felt something sharp and painful go into his abdomen, he gasped out in pain and stopped fighting back. Hammer abruptly got up and called his boys to stop, Heath got himself up and brushed sand of his clothes.

He turned to see Brax lying on the sand, struggling to get up. "Brax!" Heath shouted alarmed, before dropping to the sand next to a delirious Brax.

"Shit" Heath muttered before ripping off his shirt and pressing it down on Brax's wound.

"Go, quick. Before the coppas come!" Heath shouted out to his gang, he watched as they bolted in the the other direction and sirens were soon heard.

"Heath...Go make sure Cases alright" Brax mumbled, Heath shook his head

"Not till you loaded in the ambulance" Heath said as he watched paramedics race down the sand and began moving Heath out of the way.

"What happened?" A paramedic asked, hooking up Brax to machines and placing a mask over his face.

"He got stabbed!" Heath shouted out panicked, he watched as Brax slipt unconscious and felt anxious and worried in his chest.

"I can't allow you in the ambulance I'm sorry, but you can follow us" Heath shook us head and glanced up at Brax's ute.

"No. I need to get my other brother, I need his keys. Their in his pocket" Heath replied pointing to Brax. The other paramedic pulled them out and handed them to Heath who was wary about leaving Brax.

"It's okay, will take care of your brother. He'll be fine" They said before they loaded him onto a spine board and began to carry him up the sand, Heath trailing along worriedly.

He watched as they shut the doors in his face and began to speed off into the distance. Heath sighed and jumped into the ute and started speeding to get to the house.

Heath barged through the front door, "Casey, Case!" He shouted out, almost running through the house.

"Casey!" Heath shouted out alarmed, the bathroom door beside him flung open and Casey stood there in some old tatty pajamas, his hair dripping wet.

"Heath, your bleeding" Casey said worriedly, pointing up to Heaths lip. The older brother wiped it away with the back of his hand.

"Casey, change your clothes. We need to go" Heath said firmly, Casey just stood there as he watched Heath walk out to the loungeroom.

"Where's Brax?" Casey asked, not being able to see him or her him come in. Heath turned around angered that Casey hadn't gotten changed and that they were wasting more time not being able to see Brax.

"Casey, get changed. We have to go to the hospital" Heath retaliated, his voice getting louder and louder.

"Is Brax hurt?"

"Don't just stand their like a stunned mullet Casey! Freaking hell, hurry up and get changed!" Heath shouted out, his face almost turning red with anger.

"Brax has been stabbed, protecting you!" Heath shouted out he walked closer to Casey who was completely shocked about what Heath just said.

"It's all your fault Casey, if you never stuffed up and went and messed with Pirovic this wouldn't have happened. You caused Brax to get stabbed. Now get changed or I'll leave without you" Heath gritted through his teeth, standing inches between Casey's face.

Casey didn't budge, "Now!" Heath screamed before pushing Casey down the hallway. The younger brother ran into his room, changing into whatever his hands Layed on. He returned out of his room to hear the Ute already started up. He bolted out to the ute and jumped in, not able to even have enough time to shut his door before Heath had taken off.

Casey sat in the car, watching the objects as they passed, Heaths words burning into his head. 'It's your fault' 'You caused Brax to get stabbed'. The car was eerily silent, Casey didn't want to speak, Heath hated him and he was nervous about what Heath would do if he spoke.

They arrived at the hospital, a nurse led them to where Brax was. "He is awake and has been asking for you"

Heath walked through first and Casey follow quietly behind. "Are you alright?" Brax asked Heath as he slowly sat up it regretted it when his stitches pulled.

"I'm fine. Are you?"

"Just a few stitches. Nothing to major" Brax smiled, he glanced up at Casey who was just starring at Brax's abdomen, hundreds of thoughts running through his head.

His eyes were just fixated, Brax swore he wasn't even blinking and he knew Casey was so full of emotion. "Case?" Brax asked wearily, the younger brother didn't even budge.

"Oi. Brax is talking to you" Heath said, slapping the back of Casey's head. The younger boys eyes darted around the room before he took off and bolted out.

Brax sighed and looked up at Heath, "What'd you say to him?"

Heath shrugged, "Nothing"

"Heath" Brax pressured, Heath rolled his eyes and sighed before meeting back with Brax

"I was just angry and worried about what happened. I sorta took it out on him, you know that's what I do. I blamed him for you being in hospital, it's the truth anyway" Heath muttered

Brax ran his hand over his face, "You know that Casey takes everything to heart. Go and fix it, don't come back till it is and send him in first"

Heath grunted annoyed, but took off in search of his brother. He stopped at a nurses station and turned to face one of them. "Have you seen a kid, about this big" Heath started asking, placing his hand up to his shoulder "Brown hair, skinny as -"

The nurse cut him off and pointed to the bathrooms in the adjacent corridor, "He ran in there"

Heath nodded and took off into the bathrooms, he pushed the door open and heard the sound of someone throwing up. The older brother screwed his face up, "Case is that you?"

"Piss of Heath" Casey muttered before throwing up again. Heath slowly pushed open the door open.

"Are you okay?" Heath asked, a hint of concern etched in his voice. He started to feel guilty, knowing that he caused his younger brother to be this way. Casey struggled to get up and Heath helped him out of the cubicle.

"Wash your face Case" Heath instructed warmly, Casey pulled himself out of Heaths grip and went and washed his face, rinsing his mouth out at the same time.

"Brax wants to speak with you" Heath said as he ushered Casey out of the bathroom, they walked back to Brax's room and Heath waited outside.

"Casey. Are you alright?" Brax asked as Casey appeared in his room, Casey just nodded, not making eye contact with his big brother.

"You know not to listen to Heath. His always saying the wrong thing. It's not your fault" Brax told him, Casey just nodded but still felt utterly guilty.

"How about you go home, get some sleep, I'll be alright"

Casey nodded, "Okay". Casey traded places with Heath and the middle brother walked in, Brax glanced up at Heath.

"We need to leave here"
