BoJamesDuke Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 "Its not the snapping at me i'm upset with Luke, its the temper...yer jumping to conclusions...yer inability t'understand right now...if you wanna understand why Bo's actin' like this an' how t'stop him actin' like this then you can't just assume everythin; all the time..."Daisy replied back softly, not wanting to take sides but it was hard when she understood how Bo was feeling.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 "Then tell me what's goin' through his head Daisy...cuz I don't know!" he exclaimed softly. It hurt that he didn't know. It used to be he knew Bo better than he knew himself. "Please..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Daisy sighed softly, just looking at him for a minute before looking away again and continuing."What happened was...when the people took Judd he was too late to confront em face to face...so he jumped on their car as they sped round the parkin' lot...he held on long as he could..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "Wh-what..." He held on as long as he could? Luke could read betweebn the lines easy enough. "He...he fell off..?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJamesDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "Cause you were happy....and that was all that mattered. As protective of Bo as ya are cousin he's just as protective of you...he just wants you t'be happy..."Daisy said softly, squeezing Luke's hand softly.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "I guess you have to think about who's gonna be upset more...who this is goin' t'affect the most. To be honest, Bo's a big boy. He'll get over it and its about time he started doin' more things for himself rather than rely on you all the time. Eventually you are bound t'go yer seperate ways and do things seperatly...families and careers and the like...especially when yer probation finally ends...which ain't far off."Daisy said quietly, already having started thinking about her future too though she hadn't told anyone."We can't be like we are now forever....as much as we would like t'be...you have to do what's gonna be good for your future...not for what's gonna be ok right now..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "I hate this," he muttered softly. "I hate this Daisy."He didn't know what to do. All he knew was that, for what could potentially be the biggest decision he ever made the one person whose blessing met the most was not giving it.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "You don't really Luke..." Daisy said softly back "If you hated it you wouldn't have put this offer forward to Zack already...Luke if Zack makes you happy then go for what you want. Bo's feelings are his problem and its something he has to work around...he'd tell you exactly the same thing. Your not gonna hurt him as badly as your thinking you are..."

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Luke nodded. "Guess you're right," he said softly. Besides, there was still a chance that they would deny him. He didn't want to even think about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJamesDuke Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 "Course i'm right..." she replied teasingly. "Yer not the only one who can be right ya know.."Daisy said with a chuckle as she rubbed his back gently."Its gonna be fine...i'm behind ya all the way an' so is Uncle Jesse...if needs be just talk with Bo, let him know you know how he feels and that you need to talk about it. Things have a way of working out...you'll see." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Luke nodded a little. "Thanks Daisy," he said softly. It was nice to know he wasn't totally without support, no matter what came of it. "I don't know that Bo would wanna talk t' me though...he sure didn't tonight."

BoJamesDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 "S'ok...and no he probably dont wanna talk about it t'night because its the first time he's seen you happy in ages...he's not exactly gonna turn round and spoil that...well least not intentionally anyways. You know Bo's always done things on his own time rather than anyone elses...as far as he could anyway. Why not let it rest t'night...chances are if he has a good night he wont be home till tomorrow anyway...just take t'night t'think about you...and Zack..and make sure it's definitly what you wanna do."Daisy said with a smile, glad to see she was helping her older cousin for once.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Luke nodded looking out the window as he heard the slight patter of raindrops. It called to him like a beacon in the night. "I'm gonna go for a little walk...wanna come?"Luke had always loved to walk in the rain. He supposed it started with fond memories of his parents, playing with him out in the rain. Back then he had been a romping, laughing four year old...with no cares in the world.After they died, he had taken to walking in it. In his child's mind he assumed that the light gentle rain was just a soft reminder that his parents were still watching over him, still nearby though he couldn't see them. To be sure Aunt Lavinia scolded at first, sure that the oldest boy would catch his death-a-cold walking around in the rain like that...but he never did. In fact, more often than not, he would return to the farmhouse more calm, if not happier, than when he left it. After a while she stopped scolding, but insisted on Luke taking his jacket with him.It was a habit he still had today as he reached for his jean jacket, the only one he had, tossed in a chair in their room. It was silly to take that jacket really... it soaked up the rain like a sponge. But he supposed it was better than nothing.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Daisy bit her lip gently and nodded as she got up off the bed too."I'll just go get my jacket...don't go without me.."With that, she hurried to her room to get it.

DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Luke nodded softly, walking to the door, waiting for his cousin to join him. It was a thing she had begun doing when she first came to the farm...Bo was never able to follow after Luke in the rain due to his asthma, but Daisy had no such limitations. Over the years, it had become a tradition between them. While Bo and Luke shared the General Lee, their room, and countless other things, walking in the rain was one thing that was strictly a connection Luke and Daisy had. They would talk about anything or nothing on these walks together, just enjoying the closeness of one another and the bond of brotherly and sisterly love.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Before long, Daisy came out her room to join Luke at the door, slipping her coat on and doing it up carefully before looking to him with a smile."Ready when you are..."It had been such a long time since they had gone for a walk in the rain together. Since coming back from Nam, for a while Luke had taken a great dislike to the wet weather having had to cope with it too much out in Nam during the rainy seasons. It had taken him a while to get back into enjoying walking through it...and it had been even longer since he invited her on a walk. She had missed those days so much and so everytime he asked her to go with him, she treasured the connection they found again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Luke nodded and, ever the gentleman, opened the door for his younger cousin. The rain offered just enough coolness to the sultry Georgia night, steam rising up off the ground. Frogs began to croak as the moonlight shne down all around them.

BoJamesDuke Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Daisy stepped out into the rain first with a happy sigh, liking the feel of the cool rain against her. As much as they had all become accustomed to the hot Gerogia weather, it was nice sometimes to just have some rain for a change to cool the place down and make it a little more bareable in the summer.
