Bo was coming back from a little trip into town to get some nails so that he and Luke could fix the porch roof. Bo didn't want to go into town. He was lazy and he didn't feel like going anywhere. Not only that but he just didn't want to run into Boss Hogg and Rosco. He was already having a bad day and if he saw those two his day would just be getting worse. He just couldn't stand Boss and Rosco sometimes. They're always thinking of new ways to torture them and to get them in jail. He just couldn't stand it. They just made him so mad sometimes.

When Bo was about a mile away from the farm he went to hit the brakes only to find that he had no brakes. He kept on hitting the brakes but the General only seemed to go faster. He started to panic and he knew that the only way he was going to stop was for him to crash. He turned and headed up the road to the farm. There was nowhere for him to crash on the farm. He was headed right for the house and he rapidly turned the wheel to avoid it. He didn't hit the house but now he was on his way to the barn. He had no choice. He couldn't really do anything. He shut his eyes tight just as he felt the impact as he rammed into the barn. He was afraid to open his eyes once the car had stopped. He really didn't want to see all the damage that he had just caused. Either way, he was going to have to look at it sooner or later. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that there was part of the barn right on top of the General. He looked out the passenger window and saw that half the barn was totally gone. He just wanted to die. There was no way that Uncle Jesse was going to be able to pay for this. They already were short on money and now he just made it worse. He couldn't believe it.

Bo slowly climbed out of the General and walked out of what used to be the barn. He turned around and looked at the damage. Half the barn was still standing and the other half was on top of the General. He let out a shaky breath just as he heard footsteps coming up behind him. He just knew that they were going to be mad. He felt so stupid. Why did he do this? How could he do this?

"Bo, are you all right?" Daisy asked running up to him.

Bo nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine."

All four of them were looking at what was left of the barn. Daisy looked scared, Luke looked confused, Bo looked guilty, and Uncle Jesse looked angry.

"Bo, how could you do this?" Daisy asked.

"It wasn't my fault," Bo said defending himself.

"You drove into the barn!" Uncle Jesse shouted. "Do you have any idea how much it's gonna cost to get that fixed?"

"Uncle Jesse, I'm really sorry about this," Bo said.

"Bo, I've always told you to be careful when you're driving!" Uncle Jesse yelled. "I knew sooner or later that someone was gonna drive right through the house. Instead, it was the barn!"

"We don't have the money to get it fixed," Luke said angrily. "How're we supposed to run a farm with only half a barn?"

Bo sighed. "Please just let me explain."

"Bo, right now I don't wanna hear it," Uncle Jesse said angrily. "Now I gotta go in the house and figure out who we're gonna get that barn fixed when we're already on a very tight budget."

Bo wanted to apologize again but Uncle Jesse turned around and walked away from him. Daisy just glared at Bo and followed Uncle Jesse into the house. Bo sighed and he fought to keep the tears back that were threatening to fall. He wanted nothing more than to curl up and die. He didn't mean for this to happen. He tried to stop but he couldn't. He never felt more ashamed of himself in his life. He felt so bad for disappointing his family.

Luke put a hand on Bo's shoulder. "Come on. I'll help you get the General outta there."

Bo sighed sadly as he and Luke went to the front of the General. It took them about ten minutes to push the General out of what was left of the barn. After they got the General out of the rubble and into the middle of the yard Bo reached in and handed Luke the bucket of nails he went into town for. Then he climbed into the pickup truck and told Luke that he was going for a drive to think things over. Luke nodded knowing that Bo felt bad at the moment so he let him go. He told Bo to be careful and before he knew it Bo was gone down the road.

As Bo drove down the road he thought about what Uncle Jesse said. They didn't have the money to fix the barn. They were already short on money as it is. How would they be able to pay to get the barn fixed? Bo felt so stupid for what he did. He never should've turned into the farm with the brakes not working. He knew that his family was disappointed in him. He should've checked the brake line on the General before he took off but he was so ashamed of his himself that he couldn't stand to be around his own family. They weren't going to be able to fix the barn for a long time. They didn't have the money for it. The only thing Bo could think of was to work around town to make the money. He really didn't want his family to be mad at him and he figured that it would make them proud if he worked to make the money on his own. And that's exactly what he was going to do.
