A New Day

[Strong_and_Wild]

A/N: Based off of a Novel that I am writing with a different title, Carly is Emily's best friend and is staying with Casey and Emily Currently

It was five-thirty when I woke up, the nightmares had come again, Mom slamming down the front door, breaking into the house, the mud caked in her hair and clothes, threatening

me with a pointing hand. I couldn’t fall back asleep after that. I tiptoed down the hall, past Casey’s room, his snores quietly drifting out of the cracked door.

Oh Casey, lovely Casey, with his beautiful blonde hair and sparkling green eyes, he currently held my heart, but was quite oblivious to it. He had always been there for me, even when I had tried to

push him away. He was the one who came for me after I called his sister about my Mom; he was the one who had driven across town at four in the morning on a Saturday to come get me. Casey

was the one who stood with me for an hour after my mothers funeral while I blubbered like an idiot about how much I missed her, about how much I was frightened that I was going to lose Dad…but

he didn’t care what I said, whether it sounded dumb, or idiotic, he stayed with me.

I stood watching him for nearly five minutes before I snapped out of my revere. I turned away from his bedroom, settling onto the couch, opening my book, a cheesy teen romance, currently

featuring the main character musing over the perfectly sculpted body of her love interest, so much like the way I had with Casey.

It was over an hour later when someone actually came out of bed. Lord behold…it was Casey. Needless to say, he did not look well. He was pale and his cheeks were flushed, a thin sheen of sweat

on his forehead and neck. He stumbled a bit on his way to the kitchen, it made me jump to my feet.

“Cas? You okay,” I stepped towards him, but he held up a hand to stop me, shaking his head.

“I’m sick,” His voice was congested, and just as I was about to say something, his lips parted and he tilted his head back. Eye lashes fluttering, I was shocked to see his pre-sneeze face, and Casey never sneezed, ever.

“Hih’nkxshoo!” It was half-stifled and cute, I could feel the blush rising into my cheeks. He held up his finger as I opened my mouth, he obviously wasn’t done.

“HhhNGXT, Hh-heh-hetnxtch,” A small cough escaped his lips as he snatched a tissue. I could feel my cheeks burning.

“You okay?” Casey asked as he rubbed a tissue under his nose, “I didn’t get you sick, did I?” He sounded so worried, his glazed eyes wide. I gave him a reassuring smile and shook my head.

“No, I’m fine,” He gave me a small smile back and shuffled to the chair in the corner, wrapping himself into a blanket. He was the perfect picture of pathetic ness. “I’m going to take a shower, you

need anything?” Casey looked up at me and shook his head, it ruffled his hair in that adorable way that I loved.
