*puts a look of mock indignation on his face* Of course it matters! The one I dont go out with first will wanna know why I didn't pick her first so I gotta choose the most suitable explanation for her...see its all a very stratigically planned game Cooter...

Oh so all this babble you've been sayin' is your idea of an argument?!

*keeps looking around for a moment before looking back to Cooter with a grin* "Well I ain't really sure...Mandy looks pretty t'day...but then Tammy's got those real long legs..."

Bo looked back at him as Luke couldn't finish his sentence, gripping as hard as he could to Luke's hand.

lmao they put John's smallville character as Jonathan Clark...what doofuses wrote that article?! JONATHAN KENT PEOPLE!!!!

*looked around from where he sat with Cooter, noticing all the pretty girls in the bar that day while he sipped his beer.*

They pick fights with me cause I'm the best Duke out of em all an' they know it an' get jealous about it. *grins* And Lori, me a two year old? What does that make you? 6 months old or not even born yet?

*chuckles, patting Luke on the back and looking to Daisy* See, an' you couldn't understand why we had t'teach ya it...said ol' Bobby Jenkins was the greatest guy ya ever met...

I'll give Luke the satisfaction of sayin' he can do much more than me. He's an ex boxer an' an ex-marine. I rest my case.

Bo drew a shuddering breath as tears dripped down his cheeks. "Please don't hate me Luke...please don't leave me..."

S'cuse me Lukas, I know perfectly well how t'drive! I got us out enough scrapes behind the wheel thanks very much. And this is a tricky thing t'answer about Diane....see Diane was...one of the girls that I truly felt something for...was someone that I really believed I could have a future with. I dont think I regret not going with her, I'd miss my family too much and it would be hard, legal wise, with my probation and all...what I do regret is not bein' able t'make her stay. She was the first girl t'break my heart...

Bo shook his head a little, already feeling very worn out. "No...my...my fault.."

Bo swallowed hard and broke his hand away from Jesse's, reaching out his arm tiredly but desperatly to his older cousin. "Please...."

Bo looked over as Daisy and Luke came in, swallowing hard as he saw Luke refusing to look at him, whispering out pleadingly. "Luke..."

Daisy bit her lip softly, looking up at Luke. "C'mon...he wouldn't have asked if Bo didn't want it..."

"He ain't here..." Bo countered back, the tears starting to slide down his bruised face.

Bo looked back to Jesse, tears forming in his blue eyes. "I love him so much Uncle Jesse...I...I was scared that...if I told him he'd...he'd leave again..."

"I know...I...I just...I wanted...I was..." Bo swallowed, feeling that whatever reason he gave, none of them would understand. He didn't fully understand himself why he had let himself be hit every night...all he could think about was how much he loved his cousin, and how much it had hurt to see him in the throws of a nightmare that took Luke right back to the place that had caused them in the first place. Luke had not let a single one of them close to his pain and suffering since he had been back...and Bo had felt that this had been the only way he could possibly help.

Bo swallowed hard, looking out the door, wanting Luke to suddenly appear in the doorway even though he knew it was highly doubtful he would. "I...I just..."

Bo nodded again a little, swallowing softly. "Wh...where's Luke?"

Bo shook his head a little "Ain't allowed...Doc said can't have anythin'...by mouth fer 24 hours...case I need...operation..." Daisy rested her head on Luke's chest gently, rubbing his back a little/

Bo swallowed softly against his dry throat, shrugging his good shoulder a little. "Sore..."

Daisy stood back with Luke, partly not wanting to see Bo in such a state but also wanting to stay with Luke so that they knew they didn't hate him or blame him for what had happened. Luke had given them copious amounts of warnings about waking him up from nightmares, and Bo had chosen to ignore them...it was partly the younger man's fault. The other part was Nam and Daisy sure wasn't gonna blame Luke for it. Softly, she wrapped her arms around her older cousin and hugged him. Bo stirred as he heard a voice, blinking his eyes open and looking over with a small smile to him. "Hi..."

Bo was laying apparently asleep in the bed, his head bandaged up as well as his ribs and much of the rest of his body. His arm was in a cast and held suspended in traction beside him. He looked like he had been on the losing side of a fight with a car.

Daisy nodded and held on to her Uncle's hand tightly...the thought of Bo being in as much pain as the doctor was insinuating frightened her greatly.
