Prompt: Leela - "Please don't stop. I want to know how it ends" -'Futurama'
Sitting beside Kurt's bed, I read from the novel I had started reading out loud in the emergency room a couple of days ago. At first it had been away to break the awkward silence that had been between the two of us while our parents talked to the doctors following Kurt's car accident. Now it was a way to spend time with him as he recovered from his injuries.
Reaching the end of a chapter I looked up from the book and glanced over at Kurt. My stepbrother had his eyes closed and appeared to be sleeping. Turning my attention back to the book, I started to close it, determined that I wasn't going to finish it until we could do so together.
Kurt's voice made me stop.
"Don't stop reading. I want to know how the story ends."
I glanced back over at him, but he still had his eyes closed. "You sure?" I asked.
Kurt finally opened his eyes. "Yeah. You just got to a good part of the story. You can't stop now. Broken leg or not, I will hunt you down for that book if you stop reading."
I smiled. "Well, we can't have that can we," I replied, flipping the book back open in my hands and resuming my reading out loud.
