BoJamesDuke Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 Bo shook his head, looking down at his boots."Ain't fun...ain't no fun at all.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Luke shook his head not taking his blue eyes off of his cousin. It wasn't any fun...in fact it was as far from fun as fun could be... Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 Bo didn't move for sometime, swallowing gently before he leant back again a little while later. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Luke reached out his hand, the one with the scar across its pal, and placed it over Bo's. "I had to go..." he began uneasily, knowing it was still a hard memory for them both. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Bo nodded, closing his eyes a little as he did"I know ya did...I understand..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 "Didn't make my leavin' any easier though...did it?" He asked it as a question but it was stated like a fact. They both knew the answer. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Bo shook his head softly, blonde curls shining in the fading sunlight. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Luke nodded. "S'why I hoped...us being blood brothers...would help..." he offered tracing the scar on Bo's upturned palm. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Bo swallowed and softly wrapped his hand around Luke's thumb, not quite such an easy feat as when he was a kid and his little hands could do it no problem."It did...to a degree but...it wasn't the same.." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Feeling Bo's hand wrap around his thumb caused Luke to swallow. It seemed only yesterday....***flashback**** Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Bo turned and ran furiously out the house, slamming the door behind him as he did, tears streaking down his young cheeks as he walked straight to the barn. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Luke watched him go swallowing hard. He knew that his family would be shocked at his news that he had joined the Marines. He didn't expect Bo to leave as soon as the words had left his mouth.Sighing he looked at the faces of Daisy and his Uncle. "Will someone say somethin?" he pleaded. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Jesse took a deep breath, nodding a little before stepping forwards and putting his hands on Luke's shoulders, squeezing them gently."Luke...as much as I hate the thought of one of my youngin's goin' through what your gonna...I'm very proud of you son..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Daisy swallowed having seen her cousin transform from boy to man in front of her. "I'll miss you Luke," she offered softly."I'll miss you too..I'll miss y'all..." he murmured. "I...I best go talk to Bo...I...I might be a while..." he added knowingly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Jesse nodded gently before pulling Luke into a hug, rubbing his back a little."Jus' don't get upset with him...its gonna be hard on him...harder than for any of us..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Luke nodded pulling away from him and walking to the barn, his head down tears in his eyes he refused to let fall. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Bo was huddled in the hayloft in his favourite hidden corner, tears falling as he sobbed quietly. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Luke swallowed hearing the quiet sobs. Slowly he climbed the ladder to the loft, the rungs creaking softly. "Bo?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 Bo didn't answer, turning away from the ladder as he heard Luke coming up."Go away...its obviously what you want to do..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Luke swallowed making his way up the ladder the rest of teh way sitting down next to his cousin. "Ain't what I wanna do Bo....'swhat I gotta do." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 Bo turned more away from Luke as the older boy sat next to him, wiping the tears away angrily from his cheeks even though he knew Luke had seen them, not answering. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 "Bo...." began Luke. He knew this was going to hurt the family, but he never relized how much Bo would be affected. "Bo...please at least say somethin..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 "Like what?!"Bo asked angrily, the pain and sadness clear in his voice as it mixed with anger."What do you want me to say? You want me to say i'm glad your leaving? Want me to promise you i'll be alright, that I wont miss ya so much, that I dont care?!" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 "That you understand..." said Luke softly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Posted January 9, 2008 "Well I don't alright! I dont understand why you want to go out there willingly and get yourself killed!"Bo yelled back at him, getting up and moving to the other side of the hayloft. Quote
