January 21, 200917 yr Author 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..."
January 21, 200917 yr 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.
January 21, 200917 yr Author 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.
January 21, 200917 yr 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.
January 21, 200917 yr Author "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.
January 21, 200917 yr 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..."
January 21, 200917 yr Author "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..."
January 21, 200917 yr 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...
January 21, 200917 yr 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.
January 21, 200917 yr Author 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?"
January 21, 200917 yr "Or his love for Sara..." He said quietly, getting up and going to the kitchen.
January 21, 200917 yr Author "His love for Sara? Woah woah..." she saifd following him. "Back up the train you think...you think Luke is in love with her?"
January 21, 200917 yr 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..."
January 21, 200917 yr Author 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?"
January 21, 200917 yr "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.
January 21, 200917 yr Author "Because Luke ain't one to fall head over heels in love that easily...you are..." she said with a smirk, "but not Luke."
January 21, 200917 yr "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."
January 21, 200917 yr Author "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..."
January 21, 200917 yr 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.
January 21, 200917 yr Author Daisy bit her lip, watching as Bo left the house, worried for both her cousins.
January 21, 200917 yr Sara came out the bathroom with a small yawn, heading into the kitchen."Well...Luke'll probably sleep the rest of the night..."
January 21, 200917 yr "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.
