BoJamesDuke Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 "Your not trouble Luke...everyone handles things differently...you've handled such a lot in your life already...the breaking point had to come sometime...m'just glad it happened now so you can move on...finally get the help you've needed all along. I can already see a change in ya..."She said quietly. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Posted September 21, 2008 Luke couldn't see a change. He still felt the turmoil. He still felt the pain. But he was trying to overcome it now, and he supposed even that was better than nothing. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Daisy softly rested her head on his shoulder, sighing softly."I just...want my brothers back..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Posted September 21, 2008 Luke winked his eyes to stop the tears from coming again. "I'm sorry Daisy." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 "S'okay Luke..." She said softly back, closing her eyes a little as she rested against him. It was nice to spend some time with him...he had been so distant recently.. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 "Is...is it...is it really?" he managed just clinging to her...his sister. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 "Yeah...it is...we may not have Uncle Jesse anymore...but we still have each other...we still have the lives that Uncle Jesse helped us to start to continue on with like he would have wanted. It hurts the he can't guide us along our paths anymore...but if you think about it...really for so long, we've been growing more and more to wander the path ourselves and make our own mistakes...Jesse's been there to tell us what we did wrong but we knew that really...all we did was confirm what we knew with him..."Daisy explained softly, trying to reason out why it would be okay."He knew we'd be alright...once we got past our grief...otherwise he would have hung on for longer..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 "Doesn't...feel..like it'll ever...be alright...feels...so...so..." began Luke trying his best to talk...just talk. Sara had said he needed to be more vocal...even when he didn't have the words to just make a response and that eventually the words would come. He wanted to make things right...and somehow he wanted to prove to Sara too that he could do it...not really knowing why he so much wanted to please her. Nonetheless, he was trying his best. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 Daisy looked up at him, putting a hand on his cheek."Overwhelming? Cause suddenly now Jesse's gone, you've got no one to turn to and you have to lead everyone else?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 "An...an ...just wrong," he admitted closing his hand over hers. "How can I do this...How...how can I lead everyone...when...I...I can't even...take care...of myself...I...I just...." stammered Luke, struggling with his words. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 Daisy smiled softly up at him, unable to believe that Luke couldn't see it."Luke...you've always lead us...always. You've always kept us safe, always guided us down the right path right alongside Jesse...I know that it seems like its gonna be harder to do it without him there...but you still got all his teachings...nothing's really changed...and we're here when you need help...your not alone. Bo's always willing t'help ya, that's why he put you here...so you can get better. You are more capable than you believe you are of looking after yourself....looking after us...you survived 4 years in Nam without Jesse there t'hold yer hand and guide ya...you made your own way...and you made your own way back...that's the biggest test life can throw at ya in regards to leadership and looking after yerself...and you passed with flying colours Luke..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Posted September 22, 2008 "I sure...feel like...I'm failin now..." returned Luke softly wiping at a tear that tickled his nose. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 \"But what you feel and what\'s actually true are two different things Luke...I know that you blame yourself for what happened t\'Uncle Jesse...but there was nothing you could have done...not even the doctors who are trained to deal with this stuff could help him...it was just his time to go...his body couldn\'t continue on anymore...even if you hadn\'t froze up like you did, it wouldn\'t have changed anything. You cannot stop aging...you can\'t stop weakening of body parts...no body can. Its life, something that happens to all of us...You haven\'t failed Luke, you\'ve just fallen at a large hurdle...you just have to, along with Sara, learn now to pick yourself back up..\"Daisy reasoned softly back. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Posted September 23, 2008 Luke swallowed not knowing if he could. Sometimes, when he was with Sara, he had truly felt that it was possible. Still there were other times when he felt there was no way up.He tried to overlook those times, but it was hard, as the feeling came often. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 \"I believe you can Luke...and Bo believes you can...cause your stronger than you think you are...\" She said gently, running a hand through his dark curls softly...it was something their Auntie used to do and something that, while Luke would never admit it, would always help to soothe him when he was upset or frightened when they were little. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 Luke let out a shaky breath as he felt her hand through his curls. "I'm afraid...you'll be disappointed...but I'll try," he said softly. Looking towards the door, he wondered if Sara was nearby. He was so afraid he'd say the wrong thing...do the wrong thing....hurt Daisy and Bo more than he had already. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 "I won't be disappointed...cause I know whatever the outcome you've tried your hardest...that's all me or Bo ask...is that you try..."She replied, seeing his gaze go to the door."You want me to get Sara for you? I'll go get some dinner or something if you need t'talk with her..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 Luke bit his lip. "W-will you be back?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 "Sure thing sugar..."Daisy reassured gently, recognizing that he did in face need some time with Sara. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 Luke bit his lip nodding slightly. He didnt want to seem like he couldn't talk to Daisy, but the truth was he just didn't trust himself yet. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 "Okay...i'll go get her, check on Bo and then get something to eat...do you want anything?"She asked, trying to seem like everything was as normal as possible...like really he was just here to see Bo. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 Luke shook his head. He really wasn't sure when he ate last, but at the moment nothing sounded good. "No...thanks." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 "Alright...m'sure Sara will be in in a minute..."Getting up, she laid a soft, tender kiss to her older cousins forehead before walking out the room. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Posted September 24, 2008 A soft whimper escaped his lips as the door shut behind her. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted September 25, 2008 Report Posted September 25, 2008 As Daisy had said, it wasn't very long before Sara entered the room, putting up her hair from where she had let it down whilst on a break for ten minutes. Smiling to him as she did, she said softly."Daisy said you wanted t'talk t'me?" Quote
