Chapter 14
Once Bucky got back he told Maria and Phil all about his day. About his classes, asking about the teachers, about Jack Rollins, and even about the bus ride. They both were smiling like crazy while Bucky rambled on and on about it. "That's great kiddo! Maybe we will go to the movies?" Phil says. "The movies?" Buck says confused. "Ah yeah we are going to the movies!" Maria says. "What is it?" Bucky asks. Maria smiles softly. "It is a big place where you watch movies that aren't out in the public yet. We can get popcorn and drinks to eat and drink during the movie." Maria says. Bucky looked curious.
"I want to see it, can we go?" Bucky asks Phil. Phil chuckles and nods. "Yeah buddy, we can go." Phil says. Bucky smiles. "Which movie should we watch?" Maria asks. Buck shrugs. Phil grabs his thing? What is that? "That's a laptop dear. It is where you can research on things and play games on it, and all kinds of things." Maria says. Phil smiles then turns so all three of them can see the screen. Bucky stares at the selection with awe. "What one do you want to see Buck?" Maria asks. Bucky stared at the selection. Bucky couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. "Uh you choose?" Bucky says. Maria smiles. "Okay how about we go see Jurassic World. " Maria suggests. Bucky looked confused but then nods. "I want to see what it is like." Bucky says. Phil smiles. "Well lets get going." Phil says and they get ready.
Okay maybe Buky was nervous. What if he didn't like it? What if he finds it boring? Bucky stops the lines of questions then thinks about Steve. Steve says he loves him ad kisses him but then act like nothing happened. Why? Did Bucky do something wrong? Was Steve lying? Was Steve making it some sick joke? Bucky's heart threatens to break at the last question. Bucky was scared. Bucky needs to talk to Steve at school tomorrow. Maria (who was driving), pulls into the parking lot. Bucky stares at the building. Bucky never seen a building so big before. That is a lot of people. Bucky feels his heart pounding and his nervousness rise up again. Bucky plays with the sleeve of his sweater. Phil looks back. "It's okay kiddo. It will be fun." Phil says and Bucky grins. Bucky hops out of the car and follows the older couple into the building. Bucky looks around at all the fancy lights and a area for gaming? Bucky sees people rushing by to catch there movie on time and others just standing around and talking. There was laughter, smiles, and giggles.
Bucky smiles and looks at Phil who was ordering three tickets. "Lets go buy some snacks." Maria says and leads Bucky to the snack aisle. Bucky looks at the collection and once again felt overwhelmed at the choices. Bucky looks at Maria. "A little overwhelming isn't it?" Maria asks and Bucky nods. "Can you choose again." Bucky says and Maria nods. "Of course, but we need to be careful. Phil and I have no clue what you are allergic to." Maria says. Bucky looks at her confused. "Allergic?" Bucky says in a questioning tone. "You get this bad reaction from eating or touching something. Like your skin gets itchy, or your throat swells, or even have seizures and end up in the hospital." Maria says and pays for the snacks. "I don't like the hospitals. I don't trust them." Bucky says in a small voice. Maria smiles softly. "And hopefully you won't go back." Maria says and Phil walks over to them.
"Is everybody ready?" Phil asks. Bucky nods and together the three walks into the room. Bucky looks around. There was so many seats! A lot of people were already there and was whispering to each other. Bucky just ducks his head down and follows Phil and Maria. They sit down and Bucky looks at the seat confused. It goes up and down? That is so werid. Bucky shrugs and sits down. "The move is about to start so if you need anything just whisper to me or Maria okay?" Phil says quietly to Bucky. "Okay." Bucky says. The lights dim and the movie starts. Bucky winces at the loud volume but quickly gets used to them. Has the move continies Bucky stares at it and just was amazed. How d people do that? It is so cool. Bucky drinks amlittle of his Pepsi thT he has quickly come to love and tries a few candy. Bucky liles the chocolate. Especially the chocolates covered blueberries.
Once the movie finishes Bucky was disappointed but loved it. They walk back to the car. "So did you like that?" Phil asks. "Are you kidding me? I freakig loved it! How do they do that? How do they get those things when they don't exist anymore? " Bucky asks. Maria and Phil laughs. "Well tose 'things' are dinosaurs and they make them. They make them and it takes months to finish it. Sometimes years." Maria says. Bucky was amazed. Bucky couldn't believe how amazing this world is. Bucky grew up in the woods and learning all about these things at once gets Bucky a little scared, overwhelmed, and sometimes feels like he can't breath but also Bucky loved to learn new things and soaks the information up. Bucky just has to as a million questions just so Bucky can learn has much has possible.
"I can't wait to tell my friends tomorrow about what I just learned. It is goig to be awesome." Bucky says excitingly. Maria smiles and grabs her husbands hand. "I love this boy." Maria whispers. Phil smiles has he continues to listen to Bucky getting excited about this movie. "Can we see another soon?" Buck asks. "Of course kiddo." Phil says. Bucky smiles. Phil leans over. "I love this boy too." Phil whispers and both parents smile. They finally gotted the boy they always wanted. Even though Bucky was sixteen, Maria and Phil couldn't be any happier.
