B.L. Davenport Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 When Bo came back with the checker board they set it up on the end of the coffee table and Luke moved to the chair by the couch. Moving his checker that was in the last square of the top row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Bo pondered Luke's move for a moment before moving a piece of his, settling in to the game more as it progressed, letting his guard down more without realising it as his focus shifted from being scared at every little movement to winning the game. However that swiftly changed when Daisy accidentally dropped the wooden chopping board and the thud of wood on floor echoed through the fam house. Bo instantly jumped and scrambled backwards, looking around startled and closing his eyes in embarrasment when he saw what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Jesse and Bo both looked up at the loud clatter and Bo's subsequent scrambling back in reaction to it. Luke calmly getting up from his chair going over to Bo and putting an arm around his shoulders speaking softly. "S'ok Bo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Bo nodded, his head hung and his eyes still closed. Daisy swallowed and came in from the kitchen, kneeling beside him."Bo I'm so sorry...""No! No don;'t be sorry! You dropped a board....I should be apologising to you! NO one reacts like that...no one..." Bo practically yelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Luke squeezed Bo's shoulders a little tigher pulling him close."Sure they do Bo everybody reacts like that to an uexpected noise sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Bo looked disbelievingly to his older cousin, shaking his head"What scrambling away and breathing so hard they're barely breathing at all?! Luke...please....I know that reactions not normal..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Luke nods agreeing he couldn't deny it wasn't normal but there had been a time when he'd done it."No it's not normal but it happens sometimes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Daisy watched despairingly, she hated to see her baby cousin like this and hated the guy that had done this to him in the first place even more. She didn't understand how a friend could do such a thing to another friend...but then she supposed when a friend wasn't a friend anymore it didn't matter.She thought that maybe that was what was wrong with Bo more than anything. The reasoning behind his jumpiness could be that he simply didn't trust his friends anymore, that he suspected anyone and everyone now to attack him from behind. Ot at least his sub concious was, if you asked Bo if that was what was going on, he would probably deny it even though a nagging feeling in the back of his head would have told him that was it. She softly rubbed his back and ran her fingers through his mess of bouncy blonde hair, soothing him through actions while Luke and Jesse tried to through words. But Bo found that no matter how hard he tried, it was like someone had turned the rate of his heart up to maximum and it wasn't about to slow down anytime soon. He swallowed and coughed harshly, leaning forward and holding his chest with one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 "Bo? You alright?"Luke questions with a worried frown this was much more than just being scared out of his wits now Bo was holding his chest. That couldn't be good he figured but maybe it was just an asthma attack coming on and nothing more. Luke didn't know what it was but he didn't like the look on Bo's face and the pallor of his skin at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Bo nodded, trying to catch his breath, not thinking anything was wrong with him, just his lungs playing up again where they were damaged.Daisy swallowed gently and looked to Luke first and then Jesse, something looked wrong and while Bo wouldn't admit it, he looked ill.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 "Daisy get his inhaler and Luke get him settled down on the couch. If he don't get better we'll call Doc ta come have a look." Luke helped Bo over to the couch sitting him down and then sitting beside him as Jesse sat on the other side rubbing Bo's back soothingly to help him get his breathing under control.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Bo had no choice but to let Jesse and Luke move him to the couch, too focused on trying to slow his heart and breathing down to care about much else. He didn't know what was happening but it felt like a panic attack gone completly off the chart. Daisy ran from the room and retreived the 5 different inhalers Bo had, not knowing which one Jesse wanted, bringing them all hurridly back.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Jesse searched through the inhalers that Daisy brought to him, finding the one he wanted he put it to Bo's mouth realeasing the medication. Waiting a few minutes he administered another puff. Luke rubbed Bo's back as Jesse administered the medication before things escelated into an asthma attack. Continuing to rub small circles between Bo's shoulders and talk soothingly to him waiting for the medication to take effect and for his breathing to return to normal.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 eventually Bo's breathing settled back down to normal as he breathed in the medicated air and listened to Luke's calming voice. He wished now more than ever that he wasn't being such a baby about his situation, seeing the worry in his families eyes and the panic hidden in their voices. And the doctors had said to him that this might be permanant too...how could he live with that and the fact that he might very well be going crazy?!He pulled away from the inhaler gradually and sat back, closing his eyes. His heart still felt like it was racing at a million miles an hour but at least he could breathe easy again with only a slight wheeze and a cough.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Jesse put the inhaler back with the others and watched carefully as Bo leaned back closing his eyes. Luke all the while keeping an arm around him and talking in a soft calming voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Daisy sat next to Jesse and wrapped her arms around him gently, buurying her face in his shoulder carefully and hugging him, needing his comfort as Luke was comforting Bo. All this was terrifying and she knew with what Luke and Jesse were planning to do, it was only going to happen again and again until Bo had gotten over his fears.Bo continued to listen to Luke but wasn't really listening to what he was saying, just listening to his tone of voice as it sent waves of support and comfort through him.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Jesse held Daisy stroking her long chestnut hair as she hid her face in the bib of his overalls. He hated to see any of his kids upset and what he had planned to help Bo was going to upset them all. But there was no other option if they were to help Bo without the aide of so called professionals who in Jesse's opinon didn't know their heads from a hole in the ground when it came to his kids and what they needed and didn't need.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Eventually Bo pulled away and stood up, scrubbing a hand down his face and heading to his room without a word, getting into bed and curling under the covers like he used to do when he was a little kid.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Luke leaned back against the couch watching as Bo wordlessly left the room. He hated seeing Bo like this and feeling helpless of how to fix it. He didn't even know how to comfort Daisy and that just made him feel even more helpless and that was one feeling Luke Duke didn't like was feeling helpless. Everyone was always saying how smart he was and how good he was at coming up with plans but for the life of him he didn't know what to do this time.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 sighing Luke runs a hand down his face he agreed with Daisy but they had to figure out just what it was Bo wasn't telling them. Because he wasn't likely to tell if he could keep from doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Jesse sat forward."Well whatever it is will have to be found out eventually, and I think its time we started getting Bo this help as soon as we can. HIs reaction tonight is showing how bad this is affecting him already and we cant afford to let him get any worse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Luke looked at Jesse surprised he had thought maybe they could wait till tomorrow and give Bo a chance to get over today's reaction but he knew Jesse knew what he was doing so nodded slightly in acceptance even if it wasn't total agreement.
