When Friends Ain't Friends...


Recommended Posts

Luke looks back in the rearview mirror seeing Daisy patiently talking to Jesse but it looked like Jesse was having none of it.

"Don't look like she's having much luck at calming him down, and even if he calms down don't mean I ain't in for a switchin'."

Shrugging Luke continues to drive on there was no use worrying about it Jesse would either switch him regardless or let it pass with a warning he'd just have to wait till they got home to find out. Either way it was worth it to see Bo smile the first real smile they'd seen in days.

Luke looked at Bo sitting beside him eyes closed with a contented look on his face and smiled. Turning back to the road it wasn't long before they were pulling onto Mill Pond road headed for home. A few minutes later they pulled into the yard with the General close behind Jesse having stopped ranting but he still looked displeased as he squeezed himself out of the window grumbling as his overall's got caught.

"It beats me why they welded perfectly working doors shut"

Luke reached over nudging Bo slightly

"Hey Bo we're home"

Luke hopped out of the Jeep jogging around to the passenger side,taking Bo's arm to steady him. Once out of the Jeep they carefully made their way inside where Luke deposited Bo on the couch thinking he really should be in bed but knowing he'd want to stay up and just enjoy being home for a little bit probably.

Jesse and Daisy came inside a few minutes later with Jesse giving Luke a hard look that made the younger man look down sheepishly.

Bo sighed and thanked Luke as he was put on the couch, smiling as he was able to sit and relax in his own living room by the gentle fire in the fireplace. He had missed this so much...there were no tubes or wires here, just the love of his family and the cosiness of the farm.

When Jesse and Daisy entered, he looked up and hugged Daisy as she came over to help get him settled more, but not missing the look that Jesse gave Luke. Before anything could be said, he immidiatly jumped in.

"Uncle Jesse....don't be...mad at Luke...ain't fair to,...punish him....I asked him ta...go faster an'...at first he said no...but then I said somethin'...an' we stopped to talk...an' then we hd to catch up....please don't punish him Uncle Jesse....please..."

He said desperatly, not wanting Luke to get in trouble because he had halped Bo to enjoy himself for the first time since the incident. He ended the speech with a harsh sounding cough, reaching for Luke blindly with his hand as he leant forward a little.

Luke reflexively moved closer rubbing Bo's back when he started to cough. That cough was worrying even though the doctor had said it wasn't serious it sounded as if it came straight from Bo's toes it was so harsh and deep.

"Easy Bo, slow deep breaths"

Jesse frowned as Bo coughed all thoughts of punishing Luke for anything banished from him in his concern for Bo. He really couldn't be mad at Luke anyway he hadn't been driving that fast because Daisy had been going so slow herself it didn't take much speed to catch up and pass the General. Sighing relieved when the coughing fit started to subside a bit.

"Daisy would you get Bo a glass of water please?"

Bo breathed like Luke told him to, eventually managing to get the coughing fit under control. He really didn't understand where it had come from, seeing as he wasn't ill just bruised black and blue all over really.

He looked up and accepted the water thankfully, but had to get Luke to help him drink it as his body was trembling so hard from the coughing fit that if he held the glass it would spill the water everywhere.

Luke sat the cup down on the coffee table when Bo was finished with the water. Still watching carefully to reassure himself that Bo was ok again after the coughing fit. Jesse sat on the other side of Bo anxiously only relaxing when the coughing fit subsided and his breathing returned to normal.

Luke got to his feet looking out the window hearing a vehicle pull up into the yard, smiling as the Davenport cousin's Cooter and B.L. exited the tow truck and made their way toward the house.

"Who is it Luke?"

Jesse asked from his place next to Bo on the couch.

"It's Cooter n' B.L."

B.L. being the first in the door grinned seeing Bo looking almost back to normal the bruises still visible but not a strange sight because the boys were always getting into fights at the Boar's Nest.

"Hey, how ya feelin' Bo?"

B.L. winks grinning it was so good to see Bo so much better than he'd been the last time she'd saw him, not having had a chance to get back to the hospital because she'd been working her shift as well as Daisy's at the Boar's Nest.

"I'll have Cooter park the getaway vehicle close to the door"

Cooter looked at Jesse and Luke then back at the two schemers shaking his head with a look of mock fear.

"Nuh uh I ain't gettin' in the middle of ya'lls scheme Uncle Jesse won't be inclined ta feed me nomore."

Luke laughed then smirked at Bo and B.L.

"Looks like ya'll are gonna hafta get another accomplice unless ya can win over Cooter's stomach."

Bo smiled, looking down but catching the silent messages going on between one another. Shaking his head slightly, he smiled wider before feeling another cough coming up, but not wanting to be babied so much again over it, he took the glass of water and swallowed some down to stop it before saying, slightly wheezy.

"I'm a bit tired...so I'm gonna...go to bed fer a while....if that's okay with y'all..."

"Don't mind at all Bo ya just get well darlin'"

B.L. leaned over and kissed the top of his head before Jesse and Luke both stood helping Bo to his feet and then guiding him down the hall to his and Luke's room. Cooter called down the hall to him, grinning.

"Take it easy greasy"

A few minutes later they both returned to the livingroom Jesse taking a seat in his favorite chair while Luke perched on the couch once again.

"He ok?"

B.L. asked worriedly

"Yeah he's ok just tired like he said is all don't worry he'll be fine.

Luke answered and smiled sheepishly as the two Davenports gave him identical raised eyebrow looks that said your tellin' us not to worry and your worried out of your mind.

Bo smiled to B.L. and Cooter, waving a little as he was helped down the hall, despite his protests that he could walk there himself just fine and he wasn't blind he didn't need to be guided. He didn't mean to be hard work it was just he wanted to get back to his life before all this had happened and having Luke and Jesse fawn over him so much was really really frustrating....at least Daisy seemed to be taking a back seat to it all. She understood how much he hated being babied...

Daisy smiled to all of them, sitting beside Luke before saying.

"Luke's worried because Bo has a harsh sounding cough even though the doc's told him a million times over that its perfectly normal and he'll be just fine."

Jesse excused himself to let the 'kids' talk while he got started on supper. B.L. and Cooter both shaking their heads at Luke's over protectiveness of Bo and the fact that it was ten times worse when Bo was sick or hurt. Luke just shrugged at them all looking sheepish.

"I can't help it ever'time he starts coughing like that it takes his breath away. Sounds awful, worse than any cough I's ever heard before. I'm tryin' not to be a mother hen but it ain't easy."

B.L. nodded smiling having sympathy with both points of view but more so with Bo because Cooter did her the same way Luke was doing Bo and it drove her nuts.
