DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke watched as his cousin looked down again. "Bo, if I really thought you were such a bother, why would I always be with you? Uncle Jesse don't make me hang out with you. I do it because I want to..." added Luke pleadingly, wishing Bo would at least look at him. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo shrugged a little, shaking his head."I don't know Luke...I mean...with all the stuff I do an'...how stupid I am sometimes...and headstrong....I can understand why you wouldn't want to hang out with me really..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke blinked in disbelief. "How stupid...Bo! Who on earth has been telling you this stuff?! You aren't stupiid! Headstrong, yes, but I am just as stubborn as you are. Who has been telling you this stuff, 'cuz I know it wasn't me!" asked Luke in a more demanding than questioning tone. He sensed that there was more to Bo's feelings than he was telling and Luke was bound and determined to get to the bottom of it. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo bit his bottom lip a little, swallowing."It's just...things I's been thinkin' bout....puttin' together things i've heard people say is all..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke shook his head. "What people, Bo? Obviously it's someone who doesn't know you well at all if they's callin' ya stupid..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed and looked to him."I's heard it all my life Luke....from my teachers, from you sometimes, from Uncle Jesse on a rare occasion...there's gotta be some truth behind it or people wouldn't say it at all would they..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke sighed heavily. "People say stupid things Bo...hurful things...without thinking. I don't think you are stupid....I know I tease you a lot about not using your head, but truth is, I always thought you was smartr than you was given credit for," said Luke honestly though a pang of guilt weighed on his heart. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo swallowed gently, wringing his hands a little."I just..sometimes I stop and think about where my life is goin' an' I realise that..it ain't got no direction to go in right now...I...I don't have no proper qualifications to get a job...I ain't got a girl I want to settle down with..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke shook his head. "Bo...I'm older than you are...and I ain't got no girl to speak of...least not anymore," he added to himself thinking that Theresa was history after what she said to Bo. "An' you do have skills...you could do anything if you put your mind to it, Bo." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo looked to him desperatly."Yeah but your alright Luke! Your gonna inherit the farm from Uncle Jesse, be the patriarch! I..I just don't know where I stand..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke swallowed putting a hand on each of Bo's shoulders. "You're my brother, that's where you stand...my best friend, Bo." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed and looked down as Luke held his shoulders...he knew that...he did...it was just recently he had been thinking about these things more and more and it was starting to weigh on his mind a little, and quite frankly it scared him. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke swallowed. He wasn't one to share his feelings but..."Bo, I love you. I know I don't say it enough but...heck Bo...how do yo tell someone that they mean the world to ya?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo closed his eyes a moment before looking back to Luke, finally admitting."I'm scared Luke...I don't know why but recently these things have just been pressing on my mind and...and...I don't know why its getting to me so much but it just is..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Luke looked at him. Gently he asked, "Why does it scare you brother?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 "Well...when I think about all the dangerous stuff we do tryin' to protect the county an' all...the amount of times we've nearly got shot, or drowned, or burnt...I realize i've done nothing with my life...I haven't really stepped foot outside of Hazzard County all my life...."Bo shook his head, looking out over the lake again."I haven't done anything with my life..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 "We can change that. We can go somewhere." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 "Not for another good few years I can't...not until my probations up and I will be allowed to explore more without worrying about permits or permission to go places..."Bo said, shaking his head Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 "So we get a permit. Go on one of those hunting trips we been talking about." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed harder and stood up, shaking his head."No Luke this is not about huntung trips alright! I just.... *looks to the floor, calming himself down before continuing* Never mind, I don't wanna talk about this anymore..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 He looked at him swallowing, not knowing what to do. "Bo, I was just trying to help..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo sighed and picked up his fishing pole, carrying it back to the General and putting it into the back seat. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 Bo didn't answer, but slid into the General's passenger seat and remained sitting there, leaning on the window frame and staring into space as he started to think again. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 He sighed and picked up his pole throwing it in the back seat before getting in the driver's seat and driving off, not in the direction of the farm. Quote
