Forgive Me

Bo sat in the waiting room for what seemed like forever thinking of how he was gonna tell Jesse, Daisy the horrible news of Luke's accident he silently prayed that Luke's injuries wouldn't be too severe

time seems to take forever when you are waiting for news about a loved one but Bo's wait was soon over on account of he saw the ER doors open and a very attractive young woman came walking up to him.

Bo suddenly heard footsteps coming up to him and it was Uncle Jesse , Daisy who were both nervous wrecks as they waited for word on Luke's condition hoping that it won't be bad news.

Meanwhile in the ER Luke was out cold on the exam table and his doctor was checking out all of his vitals , and his breathing was a little shallow so she wrote on his chart broken ribs , then she checked to see if he was conscious.

The doctor called Luke's name out 3 times but she didn't get a response so she wrote on his chart comatose , unresponsive before she left she told the nurse to get Luke into x-ray for his neck , spine to see if it was injured

then she slowly made her way out to the ER to tell the Dukes the news she hated this part of her job she hated telling family members bad news about their loved ones but at least Luke wasn't dead.

" Here comes the doctor ". said Jesse

" Howdy ma'am my name is Jesse Duke and this is my other nephew Bo Duke , my niece Daisy ". said Jesse

" Nice to meet you Mr. Duke my name is Stephanie Malone I'll be Luke's doctor while he's here". said Doc

" unfortunately he broke a few ribs so we had to hook him to a respirator to help with his breathing... , he had few bruises that we covered with bandages ,.

" unfortunately he has slipped into a Coma and I ain't too sure if he is gonna wake up ".

" Oh NO poor Luke ". said Bo

" that ain't good is it ?". said Jesse

" The sooner he comes around the better his chances of being okay will be ?". said doc

" Maybe if one us went in and talked to him or uh... ".said Daisy

" If he hears you he could wake up hearing is usually the last thing to go which is why we encourage people to talk to comatose patients even though they can't respond ". said Doc

" So far I don't know if he has any broken bones but the only internal injury is a few broken ribs ". said Doc

" Now if y'all would excuse me I have to go check on Luke ". said Doc

Meanwhile in the ER Luke was just being placed back on his bed after getting an X-ray and his doctor just happened to walk in at that moment and she looked over his x-rays she didn't like the one of his spine she noticed some tearing

in his lower back and she knew that means if Luke does wake up he's gonna have to be in a wheelchair for awhile at least until it heals and life as he knows it will be over ".

She handed the x-rays back over to the nurse and then she made her way over to Luke's bed to check on him and she lifted up his right eyelid but unfortunately their was no change.

Bo had decided to be the first to see Luke so the doctor led him down to Luke's room even though Bo had been warned what Luke would like he was still shocked his poor cousin Luke looked so helpless laying their on the exam table

covered up to his chest and with a breathing tube sticking out of mouth only made the site more sad so Bo walked over to his bed and he picked up Luke's hand which was cool and clammy to the touch.

" Oh Luke I"m so sorry ... Please forgive me ".

But the only sound that met Bo's ears was the breathing tube .

" Luke please wake up , you can't leave me ... you can't die yet you ain't ready ". said Bo

" Okay Lukas I know I ain't the most patient person in the world but I'm giving you a fair warning you wake up right now or I'm gonna take Suellen on date.
