Cooter nodded,"Ahhh.... well.." Cooter didnt have anytime to say anything as there was a string of cars pull up, Uncle jesse and Luke's truck, B.L. and Konrad, and Luther. Luke looked amazed seeing EVERYONE THERE!!!! Lori woke up and climbed down, she saw everyone get out and backed away,"Holy He-- what have I done now??" Dixie looked to Lori and could see her face,"Ohhh my lord Lori, you let him do that?" B.L. looked to Dixie wondering why she asked that question. Lori snorted,"Yea you don't keep yer mouth shut and yer face is gonna look the same way!!!" Dixie threw her hands up,"I surrender!!" B.L. just shook her head. Uncle Jesse had his double barrel shotgun in his truck. Lori sighed,"Well I have a plan, I can be used as decoy...." Luke whirled around to her,"You stupid?" Lori,"Theres a method to my madness.." Lori then went on,"Well we dont want no muders on our hands so we have to get them sent to prison for good. Lori could see Little Luke who clung to his daddy. Lori then smirked,"Ill be the decoy, Little Luke is gonna help me, now I need someone close by with a camera, and make up." Luke looked down to his son and instantly caught on,"Well now that sounds like a mighty fine plan but uh what if they run?" Lori snorted and threw the keys to Midnight Rider to him,"You in the Rider and Bo in the General, course Im gonna have to run to the police department to let them see how they "hurt" little Luke, then Uncle Jesse, Daisy, Cooter, Luther, and Dixie..ya'll cut them off at all possiblr intersections on th eback roads." Everyone nodded and looked to Lori who go ther make up and handed it to B.L. saying,"You'll be the one to "hurt" little luke, Luke I need you to be standing by in the bush to scare Billy Ray and Todd." Luke nodded and went to hide, he had the camera ready. Everyone else left, Bo went down the road and waited. Lori stepped out with Little Luke and could see Todd motion to Billy Ray as they ran towards her. Lori nodded to B.L. and Luke telling them to get ready.............

Lori got up and went to the bedroom door,"What stopping you from stopping the divorce??" Luke sighed, setting up,"she filed,its up to her." Lori nodded her head,"So, yer giving up on her, like that?? No talking to her or anything. Im not a problem here so nothing should be stopping you from atleast talking to her, He-- I know you can be quiet persuasive at times." Luke,"Like I told you earlier, I was planning to talk to her this weekend and its likely I will still do so." Lori sighed and winked to him, leaving the room. She then walked to the window and sat at the window seal. She started to cry, if she hadn't been so da-- stubborn and arrogant when she left a month ago she would likely not be in this situation. She looked up to the sky looking to the stars, she saw a shooting star go across the sky and sighed, if only she could make a wish like she did when she was a little kid. Luke on the other hand heard her crying and sighed, he got up and walked in to were he saw her, the moonlight hit her face and you could see the scars and brusies on her face, Luke..........

Lori looked to Luke and with wide eyes,"Luke!! my my what language." Luke laughed a little,"Well thats what he is!!" Lori had forgotten about the necklace til Luke had looked to it,"Ohh I guess uhh I need to take this off don't I?" Lori said tugging to the necklace, Luke........... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cooter came in the house and looked to everyone,"We got a loooong day tomorrow, fellers...someone call Uncle Jesse and them??" B.L. jumped straight to it..........

Lori looked away to the ground,"I reckon that was my problem now wasn't it, and not yers to worry with!!" Luke ran a hand down his face saying,"Lori....We're helpin ya no matter what, I done told ya I wasn't abandoning you or OUR children." Lori snorted and never said nothing. Cooter sighed saying,"Ya'll, I'm going to the house, if ya'll hear or see anything give us a shout, we'll work on things tomorrow." Luke nodded,"Alright Coot, Lori you staying with me or what?" Lori got up and walked towards Cooter,"Nope, Im going home with Cooter... I aint one to screw around with another woman's man, not no more." Luke took hold of her and gently sat her back down on the couch,"Yea your staying with me." Lori sighed looking away from him. Luke looked to Cooter and made a whining noise. Cooter laughed,"Hehe she's yer problem now buddy." Luke replied,"Gee thanks buddy!" Lori looked to them,"Im right here listenin to ya'll talk bout me.." Luke smiled to her and winked,"Who could forget?!" Lori snorted and relaxed back on the couch Luke looked to her and said..........

Lori plopped down on the couch and looked around, yep it WAS true he didn't want her anymore and she needed to accept that, that was the only thing she'd except from him and nothing else, next time she'd believe her Uncle Luther about him being trouble and all. Cooter climbed up and explained to them what was going on, Lori shook her head saying,"Yeap figures ole Todd and Billy Ray would be in on it.. Billy Ray hung around the house too much then..." Luke looked to her and said,"Its alright we'll...." Lori shook her head,"Nope, I dont want no one's help. I can do it myself." Cooter smirked,"ya aint bein reasonable here Lor." Lori glared at Cooter,"Dont start with me, I dont feel like it, I said I was doing it myself and Im going to, Ill take care of Billy Ray AND Todd, so he don't hurt me or MY growing child and ill find away to keep him away from Luke." Luke rolled his eyes,"Lori now come on...... you know deep down you can't do this by yerself." Lori looked to Luke and snorted,"You wanna beleive that go ahead, I can do anything I set my mind too, my mind is set on getting them rats outta here and heading back to Nashville!!! you think I honeslty wanted to come back to Hazzard?? HE-- NO!!! I aint that stupid!!!" Luke............. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luther then proceeded to tell them,"Todd and Billy Ray is out to get Lori and Luke, now as much as I dislike Luke at the moment, i ain't about to see him ro my niece die!!!! I over heard a conversation between Todd and a couple of his cronies and they're coming in tomrrow I need everyone's help to watch Lori, B.L. she's bad, He abuses her, She trembles with fear now... shes a coward now...its real bad and I need ya'lls help." B.L shook with anger.............

I have to say I love Hobie!!! he reminds me of my great great grandpa Harrison Bailey who ran moonshine up in Right Fork here. My great grandpa also threw it back like Hobie did too lol. Do ya'll like him?? I think he's funnier than all git out!!

really?? thats awesome!! ill have to listen to it then.

Lori looked around as Luke took her hand and helped her up the ladder to go to the top. It shocked Lori that he'd actually stay here when she knew he wanted to go back to Dixie. "Luke I don't understand, the reason why I left was fer you and Dixie to be happy, because I knew you loved her and not...." Lori was interruppted by Luke breaking in,"Yea and it's like I've told you millions and millions of times before, I DO love you Lori, I still do, When you left I couldn't go back t' Dixie, sure she asked me why I didn't want to, truth is.. is I don't know now." Lori hung her head,"Luke if you wouldv'e just left me alone when I arrived here you wouldn't be in this position again!!!!" Luke walked over to Lori and held her close, kissing the top of her head,"Lori, I can't leave you alone!! He's hurting you and my child, has he touched Little Luke??" Lori looked up,"No he hasn't, I would NEVER let him touch our child! thats one of the reasons he started beating me." Luk tightened his grip around Lori feeling a small kick from her stomach, he smiled and looked down at her and her stomach, he bent down and kissed her stomach saying,"Well I denfinently know thats my child, gotta kick and a half on em!" Lori ran her fingers through Luke's curls, she'd missed him soo much. He laid his head on her shoulder and kissed her neck. Lori laid her head against his cheek asking,"Luke..were do we go to from here?? We both love each other, and if I know you...you'll....you'll...want to try and call off the divorce." Luke looked to Lori and said............... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luther saw Todd come out and tapped Cooter on the shoulder pointing in Todd's direction. Cooter got up and headed to his tow truck to watch a sleeping Little Luke lay in the seat were Luther put him. Luther followed Todd out and hid behind a bush, listening to his carphone conversation,"Yea, this is Todd.....Lori's gone, she ran off with that Duke man, Luke Dukes the name, I need ya'll to come down here and help me, sure bring Billy Ray too." When Todd hung up he headed to the motel. Luther got up and went to tell Cooter, he told Cooter,"We're gonna need help with this one, were Lori is pregnant she'll need more help that she can get to stay aware...she's scared to death and she'll be afraid of everything and everyone." Cooter smirked,"Better keep B.L. away then!" Luther rolled his eyes,"Go to the garage and see if they are there, don't let Todd see ya, if they are tell them whats going on." Cooter nodded pulling out to go to the garage. Luther got in to his vehicle and went to Cooter's farm to call everyone and to tell B.L. and Konrad.

Thatd exactly right RogerDuke! Im sorry but I ain't one to be into politics, course I ain't old enough either lol, but I knwo that its a buncha bull really, they take something simple and old-fashioned and turn it into a complicated high-tech fancy WHATEVER!!!! its not like it was back in the 80s or earlier, i wish it was sometimes.

Bo looked down,"Hurt her?!! HA!!" Luke glared at Bo,"Just like you to make a joke out of something serious!!!" Bo watched his cousin leave the house he was serious, Lori was being hurt. Bo had to go after him. Luke was already gone in the general lee though, Bo had to find a way to get him, Uncle Jesse was done ands gone in the time that Luke had been there, daisy and beth and Dixie, fer once, wasn't home. Bo had to think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke pulled in at the Boar's Nest and walked in. He saw Lori setting up there looking around like she didn't even know the place at all. Luke shook his head and walked up to the front. He could see Todd too, Lori saw Luke and quickly turned her head, Luke gritted his teeth and had his fists clenched. Bo was wrong, she WAS worth it, after she left it was all he could stand, now he was back in the same boat, can't choose between them. Todd saw him and rolled his eyes, he'd have Mr. Duke taken care of. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That night at the show, Lori sounded great, possibley better than what she use too. Luke smiled each time he saw her smile, he knew it was fake, but that was show biz. After the show, enough was enough, he saw Todd hurt her one too many times. Todd had basically drug her off the stage and pulled her to the back were Luke followed. When Luke saw him go to hit her he brung his fist back and turned Todd around, knocking him out cold. He took Lori's hand and led her out the back way. Luke figured he'd take her and hide her to were Todd wouldn't find her. He'd take her back to the garage and go from there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori was crying hysterically wanting to go back,"Luke!!! you don't understand!!!! if he finds me, he'll kill me AND you!!!!" Luke looked at her and sat beside her like he use to,"No he won't, I ain't gonna let him." Lori looked to him,"I figured you was with Dixie why aint ya??" Luke answered..............

Todd stood in frotn of her,"Dont think so, shes with me now." Lori looked over Todd's shoulders and had a tear in her eye.Luke could tell she hated it, she still wore the necklace too. When he looked he saw how big Lori's stomach was and stopped swallowing hard. Lori crossed her arms getting back in crying her eyes out. Luke flew mad and looked to Todd,"Ask her if she loves you! ask her!!" Todd smirked,"I don't have to ask her, I know she does," Lori looked up to Todd as he had given her that look when he went to hit her. Lori quickly looked to Luke and swallowed hard,"Uh huh!!!" she said like a scared little mouse. Luke looked to him and shook with anger,"what have you done to her?" Todd smirked and got in,"Like I'd tell you!" Luke looked to Cooter and said,"Something aint right here, hes doing something to her and im aiming to find out what!" Cooter shook his head,"Lukas, c'mon.... Dixie is due anytime and her seeing you with Lori will only piss her off." Luke swallowed,"Cooter, I still love Lori.... and He's doing something to her." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Todd had Lori in the car and was driving to the Boar's Nest,"Now he knows something is up!!!!! you dirty bi---!!!!" He then smacked Lori across the face. Pulling in Todd acted like nothing had happened, he had made Lori put make up on to hide the scars. Lori thought about all that has happened in a month and she cried vigorously. she wasn't the same tough Davenport she use t' be, now she a scared, frightened child. Lori seeing Luke today didnt help any either. She still loved him and wanted more than anything to be with him and not Todd. Lori got out and walked in.. she had to play her show in about an hour. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke headed for the Boar's Nest, seeing Todd leave, he walked in to the back were it was Lori's dressing room and saw Lori shaking like a leaf on a tree. He swallowed and walked over to her soflty speaking,"Lori?? whats going on??" Lori burst into tears,"LUKE!! I CAN'T TELL YOU!!!!!" Luke walked over to her and once again taking her in his arms saying..........

Luke ran out to her and rubbed her back softly,"Need Doc?" Dixie stood up straight as the pain eased up,"No I'm fine now." Luke nodded, helping her into the vehicle and closing her door, Dixie shook her head and drove back to the farm. Luke walked down to the garage and saw Cooter there and sighed,"Cooter, I think I've really done it now." Cooter looked up,"Ya thank??, I owuldn't even dare call Luther's house to talk to Lori or Little Luke, Luther is steaming mad." Luke swallowed hard,"He loved Lori, and now she was gone, his first son is now gone and he aint even got a chace to get to know his daddy. Luke walked up and sat down on the couch looking to the picture of him and Lori. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABOUT A MONTH LATER!!!! Lori is now 5months pregnant and you can tell, and she can feel the baby kick, the doctor's had assumed by the ultrasounds that the baby is a girl. Lori and Todd, by some miracle had gotten together as well. He had her booked in Hazzard, but wouldn't tell her just drove her there. When he helped her out of the vehicle he saw Luke down there with Cooter. Cooter stopped and smiled to Lori,"Well well well, Lookie here!! my Little Cousin actualyl came back!" Lori sighed,"Yea I guess so." Luke.............

Lori was back at home with Luther talking things out with him. Little Luke was depressed, back in his old bedroom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cooter went to the jail and saw the judge and Dixie there. The judge had set the bond to $200. Cooter handed him the money. Dixie looked to Cooter surpirsed and asked,"Were'd you get that money from cousin?? Cooter looked to her and sighed,"Ain't mine, Lori gave it to me to bond Luke out." Dixie shook her head,"Why did I even bother..." Cooter looked to her,"I don't know why you did either," Cooter then walked out and headed to the garage. Rosco walked down and let Luke out, he walked up to the top seeing Dixie, thanking her for bonding him, Dixie looked to him,"Wasn't me, it was Lori." Luke........

Lori drove back to Cooter's to get hers and Little Luke's things that she had had packed already, she made that trip before she went to get little Luke. She tossed everything down, Cooter shook his head, Lori put everything in the back and went to call Billy Ray. what she had to say to him wasn't pleasant at all. She called to the hotel and asked fer his room nu,ber when he answered she swore,"THANKS BILLY RAY, YOU JUST COST ME EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED HARD TO GET!!!!! IF YOU ONLY KNEW HOW MUCH TROUBLE ME AND LUKE WENT THROUGH, THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE EVEN BOTHERED TO COME!!!!!!! I SWEAR IF I EVER GET MY HANDS ON YOU ILL KILL YOU!!!!" Billy Ray hung up on her and decided it was best he left Hazzard. Lori looked to Cooter and handed him 200$ in cash,"Here this is Luke's bail money." She then turned away and climbed in Little Luke screaming to the tops oh is little lungs. Lori pulled out and left Hazzard. Crying she looked once more and shook her head. Luke heard her and shouted,"DA-- IT SHE WASN'T LYING!!!!" Luke then decided..............

Lori looked to him and glared,"I dont want to hear what you have to say anymore. Just to prove to you I don't want Billy Ray, im leaving Hazzard." Luke shook his head,"Id have to see it to believe it." Lori smirked,"Just wait and watch then." She then turned around and headed up the stairs. When she got out she burnt rubber on the street pulling out. Luke knew she WAS serious this time, Da-- it!! he'd let someone who he'd threw his entire life away to be with just walk out and leave. He had to think quick.......... Lori then pulled out and headed to the farm as she figured Uncle Jesse had him. When she pulled in she saw Dixie and Uncle Jesse both out on the porch. She gently got out and walked over to Little Luke,"C'mon darlin, we have to go somewheres for we leave to go back to Uncle Luther's fer a little bit." Little Luke, of course proteseted. Lori sighed and picked him up gently putting him through the window, buckling him in. Dixie looked to lori with a shi--- grin on,"So it is true!" Lori looked to Dixie and flipped her off,"Ya reckon?????!!!" *sacastically speaking here* Dixie's mouth dropped open, Lori climbed in and pulled out, she wasn't leaving..yet.

T' be quite honest with ya'll i think L,B was the sane one outta the cousins really, I love all three cousins!!!

Lori walke dover to the bars and reached through picking a grown man striaght up off his feet,"HE-- NO!!!! I TOLD YOU I LOVED YOU DA--!! I MEANT IT, YOU DIDN'T, AND GOD KNOWS I DONT WANT YOU PROFESSIN YOUR "LOVE" TO ME ANYMORE, PROFESS IT TO DIXIE, WERE YOU WANTED TO GO TO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!" she dropped him on his feet and stood there breathing hard,"YEA I JUST MAY GO BACK T' BILLY RAY SEEMS TO ME HISTORY IS REPEATING ITSELF ALLLL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!". Luke......... ~~~~~~~~~~ Uncle Jesse pulled in letting Little Luke out,he saw Dixie almost running out to him,"Stop!! don't go there Dixie, I reckon Billy Ray came back and Luke thinks Lori wants to be with him, Luke doesn't know if he want the divorce or not, Lori overheard it and flew off the handle, so yea it probably is going to end up you and Luke back together, who knows these days, I know that ya'll is going to run me ragged and im going to kill over, never in my life have I seen three CHILDREN act likethis before!!!!!" Dixie looked to Uncle Jesse who stomped in the house she............

Jesse nodded,"Well if you figure it out let us know, by the way Dixie does still care." Little to Uncle Jesse and Luke's surprise, Lori had been listenin in on the conversation, see she was on her way home so she decided to stop by and see Luke. That hit her, real hard. Lori marched in the jail and saw Uncle Jesse walk by, he looked to her and shook his head, walking out. He took Little Luke with him and got in the truck pulling out. Lori looked to Luke through gritted teeth,"SO YU DIDNT WANT THE DIVORCE DID YA???? FIGURE YOU COULD JUST STRING ME ALONG AND EVERYHTING WILL BE A--OK!!!! I'VE HAD ABOUT ALL I CAN STAND OF THIS!!!!!!" Luke looked down,da-- she'd heard it. Lori picked up the phone and dialed dixie's number, she stared at Luke the whole time,"Hello?" Dixie answered. Lori almost yelled but said firmly,"Dixie you care soo much about Luke, you can have him, I've had enough go to the lawyer and cancel the divorce by the time you do I'll have Little Luke and i'll be gone." Dixie was shocked, and happy at once. She hung up and caught herself running out the door, Luke..........

Jesse sighed, "Luke, you don't go looking for fights....I want to ask you a question, how do you think Lori feels about you?" Luke looked to Uncle Jesse and sighed,"She said she loves me, but I dont know now." Uncle Jesse nodded,"She does Luke, but I feel as if you saw her LET him 'pet' her, Luke you broke her heart then and she found someone who she thought would mend it back, now think of that situation as you being in Lori's shoes then, what would you have done when you saw yer old flame right there in frotn of you after all these years?" Luke choked up the words alittle,"You mean like at the Boar's Nest about 6 years ago now? Like when Dixie came back?" Uncle Jesse nodded,"When Lori found out she was back, you remember her reaction to everything now don't ya?" Luke looked down,"Y...yea just like mine." Uncle Jesse nodded."Thats right." Luke.............

Uncle Jesse looked down,"What fer??" Lori looked to him,"Him and uhh Billy Ray got into it over me." Uncle Jesse nodded,"I see, Billy Ray's back huh?" Lori nodded,"yea, cause of me." Lori sighed,"Uncle Jesse I love Luke with every breath in me and Id move heaven and earth for him, you'd think this would be an easy decision to make since Billy Ray came back but it aint." Uncle Jesse looked to Lori and said," Lori as much as I want to help yo uhoney, i cant. they only advice I can give you is the same I gave Luke and Dixie, you have to make the right choice that feels right to you, but in yer case you'll have to make it fast, on account of the divorce." Lori nodded and looked to the wise old man, she began to cry as she reached over to hug him,"I miss this Uncle Jesse.... I miss you." Uncle Jesse nodded,"s'alright darlin." Lori looked to her stomach as Uncle Jesse placed his hand on it,"Well, you can feel it some, got us another Duke to carry on our pride dont we?" Lori smiled and giggled a little, she looked out to the children playing and smiled more. She got up after setting for a couple of hours and smiled to Uncle Jesse hugging him,"Thanks Uncle Jesse." Uncle Jesse smiled watching the two leave. He then got in to go to the jail to talk to Luke when he arrived, he saw Luke behind the bars and soflty said,"Luke." Luke, hearing his voice, instantly got up and went to the bars...........

Lori looked down at the necklace and smiled,"From mine and yer's box I had, its got yer jacket you let me wear in it and all the notes you wrote to me, I found this in the back of my jewelry box that I had put up soo long ago." Luke smiled and reached his hand out to look at it closer, Lori smiled looking to Rosco,"ROSCO!!!!! MY LORD AINT YA EVER HEARD OF PRIVACY FER CRYING OUT LOUD???!" Rosco nearly jumped a foot, climbing back up the stairs he mumbled in under his breath. Lori then turned back to Luek and sighed,"You threw the first punch??" Luke nodded,"Yes'um I did, sweetheart, me and you've been threw soo much and I do ya think I wanna lose you after this with Dixie?" Lori looked down,"No I don't. well maybe this short time away from each other will give us time to sort out what we feel." Luke looked to her,"Yea, I knwo Im certain of one feeling, I love you." Lori had a tear in her eye, for the first time she could see the passion in Luke's eyes, this time he meant it. Lori nodded,"I love you too darlin." Lori kissed Luke through the bars and walked away, "See ya tomorrow." Luke nodded, he headed back to the familiar bunk and laid looking to the ceiling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori walked slowly up the steps and into hers and Luke's room. She pulled both boxes out and began reading notes from Luke and from Billy Ray. one of Luke's was when they had been dating a year and it was their anniversary, the other was from Billy Ray when he was in the Navy. She couldn't choose, in her heart she knew her and Luke had been through he-- and Luke left his wife to be with her!! but then there was Billy Ray who had came back to see her after all these years. Lori..........

Lori rushed in hoping to post bond to bond Luke out, When Rosco marched up,"You'll have to wait!! Judge aint gonna be here til morning!!! Khee Khee!! I love ti I love it!!" Lori rolled her eyes and passed Rosco heading downstairs to see Luke in behind bars, she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow,"Welp you've done it now aint ya Lukas?" Luke swallowed and half smiled,"Reckon so." Lori shook her head and walked over to him looking through the bars to him,"Luke, what did you do?" Luke looked to her and said,"Well I uh....got into a fight with Billy Ray....over you." Lori was half flatterd and half angry at the statement,"Luke!!!! dang it!!! why??!!!! why do yo ualways go finding trouble!!!??" Luke looked down and then back to her,"Cause, if you wasn't gonna let him know he shouldn't be touching you then I was!!!!" Lori rolled her eyes,"You better be glad the judge aint gonna be here til morning, honey cause ill kill you when you get out!!, you take a simple gesture from someone and turn it into something complicated!!!!" Luke sighed............

Billy Ray turned around, and glared back to Luke,"I didn't come back to cause no trouble now Duke, so back off!!!" Luke brung his fist back and plowed it in Bill Ray's face. Rosco just happened to walk in to see the fight.He walked over to Luke and pulled him off Billy Ray. Billy Ray ran like the chicken he was, and drove to his old house. Luke had the cuffs on him and he was already out the door. Rosco shook his head,"Shame shame everyone knows yer name now Luke!! can't you learn t' leave well enough alone?" Luke scoffed the question off and go tin the patrol car, Lori would have a field day with this one. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori pulled out a note that Billy Ray had wrote to her, it says: Dear Lori, I heard what Luke did to you, and I don't blame you for breaking up with him, I seen you looked depressed today and I wanted to cheer you up, Lori I gotta tell ya something it hurt me to know that you and Luke had been dating and I wanted to say I love you, More than Luke ever will. For two years I wondered if you ever felt the same way for me. Well I gotta go, meet me after school please. Love, Billy Ray Johnson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori smiled and wiped the tear from her eyes, she remembered that Luke had went out on her with Robin and Lori caught them. Billy Ray and her had started dating that day and Luke had gotten mad because Lori had found another boyfriend. Lori remembered that he stayed with her til he left for the Navy. When he came back he had asked Lori to marry him, and Lori accepted. THye were to be married a couple of months away and all that time, Billy Ray had been sneaking off to see Bessy Lou McCraken, one of the McCraken sisters, she was his old highschool flame before Lori and Lori had found out, Billy Ray left her the day of their wedding and Lori was devasted, never trusting any other man with her heart, after what Luke had done and now Billy Ray. ~~~~~~~~~~ Lori quickly snapped back into reality and though, the day before her and Luke broke up he had given her a necklace, that was in the shape of a heart with little diamonds in it. Lori began digging through a box of her's and Luke's old things, she pulled the necklace out and dusted it off putting it on. It still fit her good. She heard the phone ring and answered it, it was Luke..........

Lori thought quick and bit her lip,"Luke, please don't. God you'll hurt yerslef or kill someone!!! Luke, I never meant to let him touch me!!!! GOD!!! I MAKE ONE MISTAKE LIKE THIS AND EVERYTHING TURNS TO BE MY FAULT!! BUT NO IF YOU WERE EVER CAUGHT WITH DIXIE, NOTHING AT ALL WOULD BE YER FAULT IT SOME HOW END UP MINE!!!!!!!!" Lori slowly walked to hers and Luke's room, and sat on the bed. she got the box and opened it.......... ~~~~~~~~~~~ Luke shook his head and went down to get into the loaner, pulling out he was thinking of Dixie and Lori, he thought of whne he first saw Lori when they were little kids, he'd always liked her. Then he thought of when he first saw Dixie too...... He caught up with Billy Ray.............

Lori rolled her eyes,"Ohhhhh yea, you was the one that snuck out to see Dixie and wouldn't even tell me, then had enogh nerve to come back home and crawl in the bed with ME!!!! god knows what ya'll done!!!!!" Luke looked to her and shook his head,"WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT NIGHT!!! THATS WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE ITS DONE AND HAPPENED GET OVER IT!!" Lori flew mad and headed straight for him, B.L stopped her,"WHATEVER LUKE!!!! SPOSE YOU WANNA FORGET THIS YOUNGIN TOO!!!!!, WHAT IS IT WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE TOO!!!!" Lori backed away from B.L. and looked to Luke,"stay the hell away from me." She stormed back up to the top and flung everything she could get her hands on, Luke heard it and shook his head, he had to do something, she'd kill herlself and the baby, he marched up there and said..............
