"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.

Daisy looked up and near leapt to her feet, followed soon by Uncle Jesse who guided Luke to his feet too. "That's us!" Daisy cried out anxiously "How is he..."

Daisy was hugged into her uncle anxiously, her leg bouncing up and down a little as she too waited for news. Seeing Bo like he had been was a horrible shock for them all and all they wanted to know was that their kid cousin, practically brother, was going to be alright...

Daisy swallowed and shook her head, leaning down closer to Bo to try and get him to respond to her.

Daisy swallowed as she softly ran her hand through Bo's hair, gasping as she felt more blood there, shaking her head. "Uncle Jesse what has he let himself get into?!"

Daisy looked up as Luke rushed over, swallowing before looking to Uncle Jesse, not knowing what to tell him. Bo didn't even respond to the loud shout of his name.

Bo didn't respond to him or the actions being done to him, his eyes glassy and unfocused as he lay in shock.

Bo continued to stay as he was, not apparently hearing Jesse or what he was saying nor hearing Luke's awakening moan, making noise only when his arm and chest spiked in pain. Daisy soon came back with pillows and a blanket too, handing them to Jesse. "The ambulance people said to keep him warm and awake...they'll be here as soon as they can..."

Bo lay shaking on the floor where Jesse had put him, crying out in pain again as his arm was moved, barely being able to breath for the amount of pain he was in. His gaze was fixed directly in front of him as he shook. Daisy took one look into the room and gasped, quickly running to the phone.

*sighs softly* I knew this would come up one day...it was when Luke had gone to the Marines...I was on the football team and was all upset about Luke leaving...one of them said something that helps stress was to smoke a cigerette...so they...offered me one. I was really upset and wanted anything that would help take the pain of missing him away...so I tried to smoke it. I took one drag and instantly realized the mistake I was making. It tasted disgusting and the smoke just made my chest bad as I guess I knew it would...asthma and smoking dont make a good combination. For sure I never ever tried it again, its a horrible habit...

Bo was slumped at the base of the wall, shaking badly, his face deathly pale and slipping into shock, gasping for breath.

Bo screamed in pain as he felt something in his arm snap and his still sore body collided with the wall once more, sliding down it still moaning loudly in pain and gasping for breath.

Yeah...but only when drunk...

Bo shook his head, swallowing and rubbing his fists gently. "Luke..."

*shakes his head* MAybe we could make a night of it....flirt with the stars a little...not our fault they wink at us right...

*nods* Your right i'm really really sorry...a real genuine apology from SUPABO!!!!
