DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 "Yeah...yeah I was aimin at Bo....he...he was the injun...an...an I missed...an hit the window...." answered Luke, not looking at him. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Posted December 27, 2007 "Do you want an extra whippin' fer lyin' Luke?"Jesse asked Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 27, 2007 Report Posted December 27, 2007 Luke swallowed hard. "I...I...I..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 "Didn't break the window...did ya?"He asked gently. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Luke looked up at him his blue eyes filling with tears. "He didn't mean t'....honest he didn't..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse nodded a little, moving past Luke and heading outside to the barn where he knew Bo would have gone to hide. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Luke swallowed hard watching him go."Bo...I know you're in there son," said Jesse to the trembling pile of hay that had miraculously sprouted tennis shoes. "Come on out...I wanna talk t' ya..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo whimpered as he crawled out the hay, tears already streaking down his cheeks as he crossed over slowly. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse sighed and pulled the little boy overto him, sitting on a bale and putting Bo in his lap. "Wanna tell me what happened son?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo's bottom lip quivered as he wipes his nose on his sleeve, hiccuping softly."Wuke was Wunnin an I aimed at him but he moved an' the wock went thwough the window...I didn' mean it..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 "An' just why were ya playin with the one thing I told ya not t play with?" asked Jesse gently. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 "Because I just wanted t'be wike the big bwoys...I wike pwayin' cowboys an' injins...I can pway it wivout goin' t'hospical..."Bo whimpered softly. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse sighed. "Now them's good reasons Bo...every one of em...but when I tell ya somethin...there's reason's why...what if Daisy had been by the window...or yer aunt...they coulda been hurt..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo whimpered again, sniffing hard as the tears fell faster down his cheeks. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse rocked the boy gently. "Now...now...s'ok...you just gottta try an think next time....Luke too. You both are old enough to know better." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo rubbed his eyes as his Uncle rocked him, sill hiccuping softly as he sniffed."I jus' wanted 'be wike the normal boys..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse hugged his youngest close. "I know ya do Bo. But ya gotta learn to mind me. If I say no slingshots around the house, I mean no slingshots around the house..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo whimpered softly and nodded, leaning his head on Jesse's chest as he continued to rub his eyes. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 "Now...now...s'alright...I think yer a bit tired from all that playin'..." Jesse stood up carrying Bo close to him as he walked back inside. "Bout time fer yer nap anyway." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo didn't say anything or protest to the thought of a nap, still worried about whether or not he'd get punished for what he did. He hated being punished and he never really meant to do anything to deserve it...he tried to avoid it at all costs. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse carried him inside and to the room the boys shared, not surprised to find Luke already sitting on his bed. Gently he laid Bo down pulling the covers up over him as he bereft him of his slingshot. He then held his hand out to Luke.Luke turned his slingshot over to him as well, biting his lip. Jesse nodded. "You can have 'em back once you've done enough extra chores to pay fer that window," he told them. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo sniffed softly as he quietly watched what was happening, nodding a little as Jesse spoke. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Jesse nodded. "You two stay put...take a nap." We'll talk about your consequence for disobeyin' me later..." With that he left the room.Luke swallowed hard already anticipating what that consequence would be. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 Bo whimpered harder at that, bursting into tears as he hid under the covers. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted December 28, 2007 Report Posted December 28, 2007 Luke sighed, wrapping his arms around his knees and looking out the window, two big tears trickling down his face. Quote
