BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo shuddered in Luke's hold, shaking his head as he stared at the floor of the room"I know,...I know that..I dont understand this...I dont understand..."Daisy swallowed and started to make Bo a hot drink, finding the shine underneath the kitchen sink and pouring Bo a small glass, handing it to Luke.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 "It's ok Bo, the docs said this might happen just try to stay calm"Luke looks up at Daisy as she hands him the shine holding it to Bo's lips hoping it would calm him down. B.L. stood leaning against the wall wondering now if taking Bo out had been such a good idea afterall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo drank the shine Luke slowly gave him, resisiting the urge to swallow the whole glass down in one go and going to get some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Luke continued to hold the glass letting Bo drink slowly pulling back slightly when he tried to gulp it all at once. Getting drunk wouldn't solve anything. Once the shine was gone Luke put the glass down on the coffeetable. Leaning back against the couch he pulled Bo back to relax next to him until the shine took affect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo cuddled against his older brother and sisiter when Daisy joined them, putting the hot drink on the table, slowly claming as the shine took effect and his body ceased shaking and his mind became blissfully peaceful.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 B.L. watched the cousins sighing in relief when Bo visibly relaxed in their hold. Pushing away from the wall smiles at them saying quietly."I'd better get goin' Cooter's probably figured out I went AWOL at work by now and he'll be lookin' for me."Luke looks up when B.L. speaks and moves away from the wall."Ya better let him know where ya been, he CB'd lookin' for ya when he went by the Boar's Nest and you weren't there and they told him ya had called in sick."B.L. sighs nodding and leans over the back of the couch hugging Bo from behind before doing the same to Luke and Daisy. "Lemme know if there's anythin' I can do."Gestures to Bo sitting between them. Both cousins nod in response before B.L. leaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo sighed and whispered a thanks and short apology as she hugged him from behind, watching as she left before scrubbing a hand down his face, shaking his head."Am I goin' crazy....am I really goin' crazy..."

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Luke shook his head hugging Bo a little tighter as Daisy did the same from the other side."No Bo yer not goin' crazy...ya just feelin' the afteraffects of the trauma of being in the hands of that madman."

BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo closed his eyes, shaking his head and letting Luke hold him, needing to feel the security of both him and Daisy."That was a month or so ago....I should be over this by now...I should be....it wasn't even that bad! I just got hit by him is all...I shouldn't even be so badly traumatised....I'm not traumatised! And why didn't this happen in the hospital! Shouldn't it have happened directly after the thing actually happened..."He knew he was blabbering, making no sense whatsoever, but he needed to have this out loud reasoning with himself and needed Luke and Daisy to reassure him and hear it as well.

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Luke put his finger against Bo's lips to quiet his babbling for a moment."Bo nobody knows exactly how the brain works.....but apparently it was bad enough. Maybe your brain just pushed it all aside while it was happening unable to deal with it at the time but now that your home and things are 'normal' it's being unlocked so you can cope with it. Just know that your not alone Bo ya can talk ta me, or Daisy anytime day or night. B.L. and Cooter's available too anytime ya need 'em."Luke comforted and reassured softly in Bo's ear.

BoJamesDuke Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bo stopped as Luke pressed his finger to his lips, looking to him frightened and confused. As he listened, he knew that Luke was making perfect sense, the doc's had told him this might happen too...but still it was scary enough that it was acutally happening to throw him all outta line."I...they....they'll lock me away if I don't get better won't they....put me in the loony bin..."

B.L. Davenport Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Luke is shocked to say the least hearing Bo's words, turning Bo to face him looking Bo straight in the eye he says adamantly."You will beat this Bo...you will....but by some chance you don't *noone* is going to lock you in the looney bin *noone*."

BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Bo looked to Luke, listening and seeing the truth and determination in his older cousins eyes, seeing a protection there that he needed badly. Swallowing, he nodded as tears came to his eyes and he whimpered out.I'm so scared.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 "I know your scared Bo....it's alright to be scared. We'll help ya through it any way we can."Luke smiled reassuringly at Bo wiping away a tear that managed to escape the blue eyes looking back at him with all the confidence a younger brother would give an older.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Bo swallowed and looked back to Daisy who nodded reassuringly too, giving him a gentle squeeze. Slowly, Bo nodded back and settled into Luke and Daisy's arms again, closing his eyes as he whispered."Will you help me...help me be able to...to go outside again...."

B.L. Davenport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Jesse came back in a while later finding the three cousins sitting on the couch together. Daisy holding one of Bo's hands and rubbing his back with the other while Luke had both arms firmly around his youngest cousin. "Ya see Luke I tole ya he'd be back."

BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Daisy looked up and sighed softly, looking back to Luke, not knowing whether or not they should tell their Uncle about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Luke looked back at Daisy with the same questioning look. He wasn't sure if they should tell Jesse yet or not either. Looking back at Bo and still feeling him trembling Luke shook his head slightly at Daisy they would wait till Bo wasn't in earshot to tell Uncle Jesse what was going on in hopes that it was just a one time occurance.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Daisy nodded gently and said nothing, just continuing to hold the sleeping young man with Luke, rubbing his back gently still and resting her head on his shoulder.

B.L. Davenport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Jesse came into the livingroom sitting down in his favorite chair and picked up the newspaper. Glancing occassionally at the three young people on the couch wondering when the two holding onto the third would tell him what was going on. But deciding not to question them they would tell him when they thought it was the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Eventually, when they both felt Bo cease trembling as his body relaxed into a deep sleep, Daisy looked up and signalled Luke to take him to the bedroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L. Davenport Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Luke stood and gently picked Bo up effortlessly and carried him to the room they had shared since they were children. Putting Bo to bed Luke covered him up gently and then just stood watching him sleep making sure he was going to stay soundly asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Bo didn't so much as move a muscle as Luke picked him up and put him to bed, sleeping soundly underneath the covers, but even in sleep he didn't look peaceful.Daisy gently cleared up the mugs, washing them up as she waited for Luke to get back so they could tell Jesse what was going on.
