BoJamesDuke Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 "Then don't be..." She said softly. "Tell that guy in yer head who keeps on bringing these flaws up to give it a rest. Shut him up Luke, and let yourself see the good that your doing...the good that can come from a situation..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 He nodded a little, knowing he somehow had to do what she said. Right now though, he was so overwhelmed with stress and grief and worry, he couldn't hit the floor with his hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 "If you feel like your at the point where you're ready to tell that to him..then we need to start working through what it is that stops you from shutting him up..."She suggested gently.

BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sara nodded gently, taking up her clipboard and pen again and writing some things down before putting it aside.."So...what's the first thing we need to sort out..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Luke thought a minute, before saying "Nam," the two soon lost in conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 *MANY WEEKS LATER*Bo: *walks through the corridors of the hospital, a spring back in his step as he whistled, walking down to Luke's room.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Before he could get to the door, Luke's laughter rang out like clanging bells, telling Bo instantly that Sara was with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Bo smiled and shook his head, amazed at how much one person had done to turn Luke's life around in such a short time. It had always seemed to him that what was in Luke's head could have filled 5 whole library's...maybe even more...but somehow Sara had gone through the lot and re filled everything so it was all back in order with any uneccassiry things being thrown out. There was such a change in his older cousin now, but even so, he was still the big brother Bo remembered.Knocking on the door, he asked."Is it safe t'come in?"

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 "Sure thing..." called Luke. He didn't really see the changes, not to the degree the others did... and he really was too humble to take credit he deserved. He still had bouts of depression now and then, but he overcame it quicker now, and the feeling of despair was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Bo grinned and opened the door, finding Sara and Luke as always sat side by side and having one of their more fun filled talks this time around. Sara had always made sure to balance heavy conversations with light hearted ones to keep him balanced and show him exactly what she was trying to prove. As bad as things could get, you can always find some kind of good side to it...as long as you took it on board and balanced out the argument, things never seemed as bad as they did initially.

BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Bo nodded, leaning against the wall and folding his arms with a smile on his face."M'good, things are goin' as smooth as ever...and I can see what ya mean, you look like you done slept with a coat hanger in yer mouth..."

BoJamesDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 "Yup, feelin' fine an' dandy. Farm's runnin' smooth as anythin."He replied, loving the way Sara and Luke interacted like they were a couple but were completly oblivious to the fact.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 "You ain't overworkin are ya?" Luke asked. He hated the fact that he was leaving Bo to manage all of the farm, but at the same time, he just wasn't sure if he could manage without Sara, though he knew the day would eventually come when he would have to.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Luke gave a small smile. Unless that part of their lives had changed greatly, Daisy ALWAYS hated bringing fellas home to meet the family. No one was ever good enough for her, in Bo's and Luke's minds, and they usually let said fella know that.As a rule Daisy hated their overprotectiveness, but on accasion she was thankful for it,especially when guys would drop her off and expect a kiss or two or ten in return. Then Bo and Luke would emerge: Bo in his linebacker stance, his 6 foot 4 inch form looking down at the fella from the porch, a deep frown on his normally fun-filled face. Luke would be there too, his thumbs hooked in his jeans. He was smaller than Bo in height, but everyone in Hazzard knew he was not one to cross... he was all muscle, and wasn't the boxing champion of the Marine Corps for nothing.He was glad those things at least didn't change. Even so,he was afraid of what had changed and that was yet another reason he wasn't quite ready to go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 "We aint the only ones that miss havin' ya around the farm though...Maudine's goin' plumb crazy waitin fer ya t'come out and feed her...looks downright disappointed when she sees me come out."Bo retorted, sounding kind of miffed that the family mule who had been there since they were both kids to a greater shine to Luke than she did to him. Though it could have been because with his blonde hair, he looked more like food than a person. "And everyone in Hazzard keeps askin bout ya...Cooter sends his regards...says hurry up an' get yer butt back inta Hazzard cause he's runnin outta buisness...General ain't soundin right neither without yer tunin..."He continued to muse, more talking to himself than taking to anyone particular in the room. Every time he came, he had a small hope that maybe Luke would finally be ready to come home, and while he never asked cause he didn't wanna push the subject, the result was always the same. He left alone, went to an empty farm house alone because Daisy was usually out playing tonsil tennis with her boyfriend someplace or working and slept in the big double room alone...
