DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 He looked into her eyes with his own teary eyes, eventually nodding. Swallowing hard he continued. "They...they liked...inventing ways...to torture us...sometimes they'd...dehydrate us...then...let water drip out of reach in front of us....s-sometimes...they....they..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 For hours and hours, Sara sat with Luke and talked through everything he wanted to talk about then and there. She didn't attempt to leave for anything, she didn't give any signals that she needed anything besides giving Luke her full attention. She listened intently to every word and talked through everything with him. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Eventually, Luke's voice gave out, as did his energy. He had started to say one more thing, but was nodding off to sleep before he was halfway through his sentence, more exhausted than if he had just run 20 miles without stopping. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Sara smiled as she watched him talk himself into sleep, seeing his sleeping posture more relaxed than it ever had been before. She felt that Luke had finally had the mini breakthrough he needed to see that just talking about everything actually did help. Getting up, she tucked him in gently and left the room wearily, heading to the bathroom.Bo meanwhile had been with Daisy in the kitchen and the lounge, talking worriedly about Luke and what he was actually doing for him now Luke was home. He felt so powerless and he didn't like it. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Bo you can't expect him to come an'..you be able to just work a miracle...he opened up to you honey...that's such a big step..." said Daisy as she sat beside Bo on the couch rubbing his back gently. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Bo sighed heavily, shaking his head."I know that but...he did it and then...I just didnt know what to do...He closed up on me again because I proved that he was right, that he can't talk to me..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "But he was talkin' to ya Bo..." continued Daisy. "You can't expect it to all come at once...honey he aint never shared this with ya...as scared as you probably were to hear it he was probably just as scared to tell it....it aint that he cant talk to you...it's only his first day back honey..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Bo sighed, running a hand down his face with a nod. He was just finding this all so hard, the fact that Jesse's passing had all caused a breakdown in the family he knew as always so strong had scared him deeply and he was just trying to press on the only way he could think of. Except it wasn't working because no one seemed to be moving with him... Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "It's gonna be okay honey...it will..." said Daisy softly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Bo nodded again gently, yawning lightly as he looked across the room, seeing Sara going into the bathroom and nothing but quiet coming from the bedroom. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Daisy squeezed his shoulder gently. "You realize it's his love for us that brought him home...it wasn't what Sara did...you know that don'tcha?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Or his love for Sara..." He said quietly, getting up and going to the kitchen. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "His love for Sara? Woah woah..." she saifd following him. "Back up the train you think...you think Luke is in love with her?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Bo shrugged, looking to her as he got a glass of water."I've only ever seen the look of peace and contentment in Luke's eyes once...and that was when Candy was around..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Daisy looked shocked for a moment, but then shook her head. "I don't believe it...maybe he has formed a special bond with her sure....but...he wouldn't fall in love with her....would he?" Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Why not? He's a man, she's a woman, he's lonley, she understands him, they've gotten to know each other pretty well over these last few months...she can make him laugh...why wouldn't he fall in love with her?"He questioned, swallowing down some water. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Because Luke ain't one to fall head over heels in love that easily...you are..." she said with a smirk, "but not Luke." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Daisy its not like he's known her a few days...he's been with her for months...its not like they haven't talked, its all they ever do." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "I know...but it's still been a short time is all." She shrugged. "Guess time will tell...point is he's home...I never woulda thought he'd be home so quick...but he is..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Bo nodded a little, washing up his glass and putting it away."Guess so, I got chores." With that, he grabbed his boots and put them on, heading outside. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Daisy bit her lip, watching as Bo left the house, worried for both her cousins. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Sara came out the bathroom with a small yawn, heading into the kitchen."Well...Luke'll probably sleep the rest of the night..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Is he doing ok?" asked Daisy softly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 "Better than before now I think...he's unloaded a lot of stuff today, stuff I think he's needed to talk about for a long time...we've straightened some things out...gotten him thinking a bit differently about everything...so hopefully he'll be much better when he wakes up...he's still gonna have a few problems but those are things he needs to know figure out himself. I cant make him see everything..."She said with a small smile, getting her jacket. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 "I wish you could help Bo as much as you do Luke," said Daisy softly. Quote
