Bo swallowed softly and told himself to stop being so stupid. He wasn't near that guy anymore, they were safe at home. Nodding, he settled back and shook his head to try and rid himself of the images that were appearing. "Yeah...yeah i'm fine..."

Bo smiled softly to himself....until he heard a specific snap sound from outside, that was in reality probably only a twig snapping....but in his mind it instantly triggered the snap of the board as it splintered into pieces and he sat upright with a start, swallowing.

Bo closed his eyes as he put his hands behind his head, not sleeping as he wasn't tired, just content to listen to the world around him...something a little while ago he didn't know if he'd get to do again without being in bed with an oxygen mask on his face. He had never told his family or his friends, and had asked the doctor's specifically not to tell them, that the doc's weren't sure if his lungs would recover from this, if they would get stronger again as he had had to be on supported oxygen for so long. He didn't want them to know because it would only worry them further, and he wanted to get through this on his own with having to do some stupid set of exercises that Luke and Jesse would make him do. He had some to do of course from the doc, but they didn't know that. He would do them every so often, but he would also do his own excerices, the ones he knew he could do and work at to make his lungs as strong as possible and keep them that way. He had promised the Doc that he would tell them....but he just couldn't bring himself to put them through anymore of that kind of worry.

Bo nodded, smiling over to her Yeah....thanks B.L....

Bo chuckled a little too, nodding Ah well....i'll probably get a good chewing out over it but its worth it to get away from the dragon breathing down my neck....I know he worries...all o'them do but....god Daisy is so much eaisier to cope with....

Bo skidded into one of his favourite hideaways that he wasn't aware anyone knew about to have some alone time. He headed into the old cabin and flopped down on the matress there. It was relativly well kept seeing as it was covered and all, and it was comfy and that's all that mattered. He lay there, looking up at the cieling for god knows how long, as he let the thoughts jumble about in his head, his finger unconciously tracing the scar on his chest where he had been shot. Luke was even willing to go back to her after all that had happened too.....

As Bo sped away, in all truth a little faster than he should have done, he found that he had to keep wiping away the tears of hurt and frustration. How many times had Luke sobbed into his shoulder that he never wanted to see her again, how many times did he ask Bo to make sure they never laid eyes on each other again...and yet when he tried to warn him, Luke had gone back on the promise that he had made Bo make and gone to see her anyway. He knew, or thought he might know, what would happen next...there was one of two options. Either Luke and her would make up and then they would get back together and she would hurt him again....or he would realise what a snake she was and decide to stay clear away...he wasn't exactly optimistic about the latter.

Bo tensed slightly as he kept his back turned to Luke, watching as he walked away and shaking his head. Luke had answered his own question as he headed towards the jail and he whispered sadly after him "Exactly that Luke." His sleeping with Cassie had meant nothing and he had learnt quickly from that time just how manilpulative and controlling Cassie was and he had never been happy about her and Luke whatsoever. SHaking his head, he slid into the General, started him up and powered away.

Bo swallowed hard, his jaw tensing a little as he looked around...so people were staring let them stare, he didn't care. Looking back to Luke, he shook his head No...guess i;ll never understand will I....why dont ya just go be with her Luke....but dont ask me to stick around when ya do. He said before turning and storming back to General Lee, tears in the bottom of his eyes that he wiped away furiously

Bo shrugged gently, shaking his head I dunno....recon maybe its because we's grown up now...got more responsibilites so we's aint got so much time to muck around no more....

Bo shook his head I tol' her I wouldnt willing step into that jail to talk to her on any accounts....Luke she was the one who caused you to do those things....if she hadn't turned up you would have never gotten like you did! It is her fault! He said a little bit louder than he meant to, his anger at her and worry for Luke that had sprung as soon as he had laid eyes on Cassie shining through.

Bo winked gently to her and rested against the wall of the place they were in, looking around with a small short sigh. We ain't been here for ages...

Bo sighed gently inbetween two coughs, waiting until he could breathe eaisier again before answering her. "Yes B.L.....I'm fine....the doc's said its....just my lungs adjusting...to breathing on my own...and getting stronger that...that's all...i'm not sick..."

Bo, who was still looking quite pale, shook his head looking down to the floor. "To be honest Luke I didn't look nor care....she....all I could remember was how bad she hurt you....and how we nearly....nearly lost you because of her...I kinda got mad and yelled at her...my anger was really all I was focused on...."

Bo managed to grab his coat before B.L. helped him out the window, knowing that if Luke should catch them he could lessen the telling off he would get by wearing a coat and protecting his chest...even though he didn't have a cold or anything. Still. getting one that made him cough would be pretty dire so he decided to anyway. He chuckled a little as they snuck out the farm and into the woods, to their small hiding place they had as kids. Grinning he sat down, sighing in relief and coughing a little. "Thanks....B....B.L..."

Bo winced at the tone of voice he used when Luke found out where she was, trembling a little. Luke was angry, one of the reactions he had expected the least out of all of them he imagined. "She uh....she's still got charges for murder an' all....so they's locked her up in the jail..."

Bo swallowed softly, wrakcing his brains hurriedly before admitting to the only thing he could that was true and Luke would believe. "That I uh....I....I..." Bo sighed and gave up, shaking his head. He knew that if he didn't tell Luke now, then he would find out later on and when he found out Bo already knew it would only make him mad. "Luke...Cassie's back...."

Bo yelped and jumped almost two feet in the year, his face turning paler and paler as his brain registared quicker and quicker who was behind him and what he was going to do to get out of this. Instead of making up an excuse, he turned and let anger and fright give way and lead him. "Dang it Luke! What're ya trying to do gimme a heart attack?!"

Bo gasped in mock shock and horror, shaking his head and rattling on imaginary bars gently so as not to over-excerte himself and have Luke come running. "No!! Don't leave me here!"

Bo smirked and leant on the windowsill, looking to her. "You know...it might have been better if you called in sick and made me do the coughing....might have sounded....more realisitic...."

Bo sighed and shook his head, stopping and looking down to the pavement before looking back to his friend. "Cooter....I hate ta tell you this but I was being serious....she hurt Luke bad last time she was around and then didn't even stick around to check he was okay afterwards....so I don't know what happened, big deal. All I know is ya don't hurt someone ya supposed to care about so bad and not come by to check their okay." Shaking his head, he diverted his gaze to look over Hazzard, looking more though in the direction of the farm....not knowing that Luke was actually in the town and creeping up behind him, intending to scare him. "I just hope Luke don't find out for a while....I don't think I could stand to see him so upset again because of her...."

Bo clenched his jaw as he carried on walking, still silently fuming as he headed to the post office to pick up some mail that needed collecting. Swallowing, he shook his head. "I tell you Cooter....they better keep her under lock and key and away from me and Luke or I swear there is no place that she's gonna be safe....not after what she did to Luke...."

Bo frowned and looked to the window as he heard a tapping, crossing over to it and opening it, looking around before seeing B.L. and smiling. "Hey...thought you were going home."

Bo quickly spun round, a deep, hatred filled gaze being sent her way. "No....and if Luke finds out through the grape vine that's fine, but there is no way that I am willing stepping one foot in that building with you. Hope you like Atlanta by the way." With that, Bo turned on his heel and walked away down the street, fuming

Bo sighed and carried on carefully tidying up the room, even doing a proper job of it once as bored as he was. He desperatly wanted to get out of the house and just do....something normal....and then his original plan from earlier that day sprang to mind and a slow contented smile slipped onto his face.
