Is there another Bo besides John?!?!?! Come on....

That would be Cooter.

In the midst of his reverie Abi had fallen into a deep sleep, her little hand still clutching Luke's shirt. Glancing across the street he saw that Enos had joined the group. Taking that as a sigh it was safe to return, Luke headed back over to them.

Doc Appleby

Luke leaned into him as he felt the hug. "I dun' feel so good," he said softly.

"Wanted...you...t' be proud...wanted...you...t know...I was tryin'." he fumbled.

Luke nodded a little as a ter strayed down his cheek. He felt so much like he had disappointed everyone. He didn't want to tell him how he had near broken down in front of her.

"I...I. told her...b-bout...my folks," he said softly.

Luke hid his face in his hands. He supposed it wasn't anything great anyway. He had just wanted to prove to Bo that he would try.

Tears dribbled down his cheeks. "I tried so hard today...wanted to show you...an...an you didn't come...I...I felt...so...so..."

Luke swallowed hard. "I...wouldn't blame ya...if ya did."

Luke looked up tearily. He didn't know what to think.

Luke didn't look at him. His eyes were swollen with tears, his hands clutching the pillow in front of him.

Luke sat hugging his pillow, tears dripping down his cheeks.

"Be careful Bo...a few more minutes ain't gonna matter much."

Daisy swallowed. "It's 4:00pm. I just got off work."

"What are you doing sleeping out here?!" demanded Daisy, half afraid he was ill. "Are you ok?!"

Daisy pulled into the driveway seeing Bo's long legs sticking out of Dixie. "Bo!"

Daisy nodded. "Thanks for calling." She hurriedly got off the phone, bidding goodbye to everyone before making tracks for home, having taken the truck.

Daisy frowned. "No...I dunno...but I'm about to get off work...I could go home an' find out."

"Boar's Nest this is Daisy speakin," answered the middle Duke cousin with a flip of her hair.

Minutes turned to hours, and still Bo did not show up. Luke sat, huddled into himself on the bed staring out the window tears trickling down. He knew all along that Bo wouldn't come. He knew he had ruined everything...but a part of him still had wanted to believe him. Not anymore...he accepted the fact that his family had left him. It was what he deserved. He hadn't spoken anymore to Sara. He hadn't eaten. He just sat as the day went on, waiting for Bo, though Bo never came.

"What if...he don't come..." choked Luke, not sure of anything anymore, even his cousin.

Luke looked down tears falling once more. "I just don't wanna hurt no one else...seems like...s'all I do is hurt people."
