LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lori followed him. Each step she took her blood pressure rose higher and higher. Getting to a point where it was boiling. "Oh so now we've resorted to actin' like a five year old?" she snapped from behind him, if he didn't stop she was liable to be put in the hospital herself or the jail one.

JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 "Don't you get it. You expect me to act like the same old Luke. I don't remember the seven years and what I do remember are bit's and pieces. So excuse me if I'm not the same Luke I was yesterday." said Luke as he reached his boiling point.

LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 "I don't EXPECT you to do anything...only thing I said was stop mopin' around and actin' as if your some helpless creature because you're in a wheel chair!" She shouted angrily, her bronzed face turning five different shades of red. Her eyes turning a bright orange color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 "Well excuse me! I'm so sorry that I can't just take with a grain of salt. Not everyone can bounce like you Lori." Luke told her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lori had about all she could take. Being as hot headed as she was, and short tempered she slammed her fist into the brick wall. A loud cracking noise could be heard clean through the hospital. Lori looked down at her now bruising hand, blood oozing from her black and blue knuckles. Growling low in her throat, not even feeling the pain in her hand, she was about tempted to let a string of profanities unleash on him. Slowly, she turned to leave.

JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 A very small part wanted to call her back and say he was sorry and to make sure she was ok. But his stuborn male pride would not let him. He watched her walk around the corner, before he started heading back towards his room.

LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lori was beyond the point of angry. Seeing the nearest doctor, she let out a shaky breath grumbling low in under her breath. "Doc?" She asked, fro m behind him, relaxed against the wall, her hand was numb from the pain. Turning around to see a woman who's hand was a totally different color than the rest of her, dried blood on it, and new blood still dripping from it, the doctor's eyes grew wide laying down his clip board."Are you alright ma'am?"He asked her concerned. Lori looked at him blinking, showing him her hand. "Does it look it?"She spat on accident, not meaning to be rude. Nodding, the doctor led her into a small room where he then began to mend her hand up. Making small noises mostly shameful ones, he put the last wrap on it, looking at her. "Well miss,, looks to me like you've completely shattered your hand..every bone in it is broken." The doctor reported with a small sigh. Lori looked at him, getting up off the table, cussing Luke in under her breath. "Great...thanks doc.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 "Your welcome miss. Here's prescription for you to fill." he said as wrote it out before handing it to her. "Oh and miss no more hitting walls." the doctor told as he walked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Lori grated out the words she spoke next, it was more to herself than anything."If you god forsaken men wouldn't care so much about your pride...I wouldn't hit them.." Walking out, Lori looked at the prescription, it was pain killers. She sighed shoving the piece of paper in her pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Luke wheeled his self back to room. Took a look at the bed knowing there was no way he be able to get himself in the bed. He would need to ask for help. Rolling back out to the nurse station "Miss" he called to the nurse."Can I help you?" she asked."I need help getting in my bed." he told her."O.k. let me find an orderly." the nurse told him.Luke looked at her for a second before rolling back to his room.

LoriDavenport Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Within a few moments, there was a man coming through Luke's door to help him in to bed. Going over to him the nurse, as if he had done it all his life, easily lifted Luke up out of the chair and into the bed. Fixing Luke's pillows and his covers, the nurse wheeled his chair over to a corner."There ya go sir." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Luke reached over to the phone and dial the farm."Duke residence. JJ speaking." said a voice from the other end."Hi JJ.

JESSI DUKE Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 "Uncle Jesse could you do me a favor?" asked Luke"Sure, what do you need me to do?" replied Jesse."Could you check on Lori for me.

LoriDavenport Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Sticking to his word like he said he would, after hanging up the phone, Jesse grabbed his old red hunting cap and headed out the door to his pick up. Starting up the truck, Jesse pulled out heading to the garage.At the garage, Lori was grumbling and muttering still about the heated debate her and Luke had, though she didn't have but one good hand to work with, Lori vigorously tightened a bolt in under the hood of Midnight Rider, each twist, came a threat out of her mouth at Luke.

JESSI DUKE Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 It was a drive to the garage one that gave Jesse time to think.It was time like this that Jesse loved. When there was nothingthat was needing his attention. It wasn't long before Jesse wasat the garage."Hey Lori! How's your hand?" asked Jesse as walked up to where she was at.

LoriDavenport Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Lori muttered under her breath, not bringing her head out from in under the hood of the car."Just fine." She spat in a snippy tone, not intending to sound rude or hateful towards the wise old man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoriDavenport Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Lori sighed a little, raising up from in under the hood of the black charger. "M'sorry Uncle Jesse..."She apologised softly. Shaking her head slowly, she jerked out her rag from her back pocket wiping the oil smudges from her face and hands."What brings ya by here?"Lori asked in a much cooler and calmer voice.

JESSI DUKE Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 "Luke asked me to come and check on you. To make sure you didn't pull anymore stupid stunts." Jesse told her as he looked down at her banged hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriDavenport Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Lori gasped a little, looking appalled."Pull anymore stupid stu--" She paused throwing her good hand up in the air,"It was his fault I did this in the first place!

LoriDavenport Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Lori looked blankly at Jesse, her tone serious."Would you rather me hit him or the wall?"Though, she'd never hit Luke, there was time she felt like slugging him for his bull headiness and arrogance.

Kay Darleen Duke Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Then Lori sighed and looked up at Jesse " I'm sorry Jesse it's just he makes me so mad ".Jesse laughed and then he said " I know honey but he is frustrated right now maybe if youtried to be a little more patient with him and realize that he is in alot of pain right now.Lori said " I suppose your right Jesse I should've acted more mature but if he would just stop being so pigheaded I wouldn't get so angry with him ", then Jesse said " would it help you if I went and talked to Luke ?", then Lori said " that would be fine with me.Cue Jessi , Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
