BoJamesDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Daisy nodded and held on to her Uncle's hand tightly...the thought of Bo being in as much pain as the doctor was insinuating frightened her greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 The doctor nodded. "Down the hall and to the ight.""Thank ya" said Jesse leading the family there.Luke followed but it was obvious he was not going very willingly.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Bo was laying apparently asleep in the bed, his head bandaged up as well as his ribs and much of the rest of his body. His arm was in a cast and held suspended in traction beside him. He looked like he had been on the losing side of a fight with a car.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jesse shook his head as he looked at his little boy. "Good Lord..."Luke stayed just outside the door, not daring to venture in the room and see the damage he caused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Daisy stood back with Luke, partly not wanting to see Bo in such a state but also wanting to stay with Luke so that they knew they didn't hate him or blame him for what had happened. Luke had given them copious amounts of warnings about waking him up from nightmares, and Bo had chosen to ignore them...it was partly the younger man's fault. The other part was Nam and Daisy sure wasn't gonna blame Luke for it. Softly, she wrapped her arms around her older cousin and hugged him.Bo stirred as he heard a voice, blinking his eyes open and looking over with a small smile to him."Hi..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jesse sighed. "I guess that wouldn't be a good idea then," he agreed.Luke didn't look at Daisy. He simply stood where he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJamesDuke Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 "I know...I...I just...I wanted...I was..."Bo swallowed, feeling that whatever reason he gave, none of them would understand. He didn't fully understand himself why he had let himself be hit every night...all he could think about was how much he loved his cousin, and how much it had hurt to see him in the throws of a nightmare that took Luke right back to the place that had caused them in the first place. Luke had not let a single one of them close to his pain and suffering since he had been back...and Bo had felt that this had been the only way he could possibly help.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Jesse looked at him for a long time, before finally saying, "Ya youngins love each other...folks that love each other are apt t' do crazy things...I don't understand it...but I know it to be true."Tears dribbled down Luke's cheeks, not able to hear Bo's soft whispers from where he was.

BoJamesDuke Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Bo looked back to Jesse, tears forming in his blue eyes."I love him so much Uncle Jesse...I...I was scared that...if I told him he'd...he'd leave again..."
