• A Country Love rekindled
    Chapter 1

    Bethina Hogg sat on a bus with her twin sister Jennifer Hogg. They had been away from their home town for about ten years. They had been living New York. They were going back to Hazzard County, Georgia to see friends and family. Bethina was in a daze the whole time. She didn't want to go and face her old boyfriend Luke Duke. She had told him that she would be there waiting for him.
    -Flashback-
    “Luke do you really have to go?” asked Bethina.
    “Sweetheart, I do. I'll write and call you every chance I get,” said Luke. I gave her a hug and kiss.
    “I'm going to miss you. I'll be here when you get back and that's a promise,” said Bethina snuggling into his arm's for what could be the last time.
    “Good. I love you Bethina. Don't let anyone tell you different,” said Luke. He gave her one last kiss and hug. He got on the bus and left her in Hazzard.
    Weeks turned into months. Months turned into years. A year after Luke Left, Bethina got picked up by a talent scout and moved to Nashville. She had broke her promise to Luke.
    -End-
    She thought about it for the whole trip.
    When they finally got to Hazzard, she looked out the window to the bus stop and saw Cooter, Uncle JD, Aunt Lulu, Jesse Duke, Daisy Duke, Rosco, Bo Duke, and ... Luke Duke. 'Damn he must have forgotten what I did to him 10 years ago' she thought. As the bus came to a stop Luke looked at her. Their eyes locked for a moment.
    “Are you okay Beth?” asked Jenny.
    “Yeah I'm fine. It looks like Bo couldn't wait to see you,” said Beth.
    “Luke is there to sis. He must of missed you too,” said Jenny.
    “I don't exactly think that me and Luke are still that close Jenny. Remember I broke my promise to him,” said Beth stepping on to the sidewalk.
    “Beth! Jenny! You made it okay,” said Daisy hugging the both of them.
    “Hey darling, did you have a nice trip,” said Bo picking up Jenny to hug her.
    Bethina walked over to where the bus driver put her bags when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Luke.
    “Hi Beth,” said Luke with a smile.
    “Hey Luke. I didn't even think that you were going to talk to me after what I did to you,” said Beth.
    It hurt at first, but I realized that that you were following your dreams and that I wasn't exactly there to support you. I can't be angry with you for doing what you thought was right,” said Luke.
    “Wow! That wasn't what I expected to hear,” said Beth.
    “I bought every album you made Beth. I love you with all my heart. I don't want to lose you again. I should have wrote more offend, but I didn't and I'm regretting it now Beth.” said Luke.
    “I don't want to break your heart again Luke. Let me explain what happened when you came home and I was in Nashville. When you didn't call me that night, I thought that you hated me and didn't want anything to do with me. Two months later I started to date this guy. I thought that he was as loving and caring as you were. I was wrong, so damn wrong. He beat the s**t out of me. When I was in the hospital, jenny told me that I should call you. I would dial the number and wait to hear Maybelle's voice and when I did I would hang up. I even wrote a couple of letter, but never sent them,” said Beth with tear.
    “Beth. I'm So sorry. If you had called Beth, I would have been there in a heart beat,” said Luke put his arm's around her.
    “I'm not ready for that kind of relationship,” said Beth. She walked over to her bags and picked them up. She walked away from the group and out of Luke's Life temporary.
    “Dammit Kevin! I broke Luke's heart again because of you!” yelled Beth.
    She pick up a picture of her and Luke threw it
