Chapter 75

                                    

                                          
Waking up at around 10:15am on Wednesday, Clay couldn't help but feel like a child as he quickly got up and had himself a small breakfast with his family before heading back to his bedroom to get freshened up and ready for the day's activities. Today, he and Allison had planned to spend some time together by taking Harley to see a new movie that had been in the theater for some time now. 
                          
After taking a quick shower, the blue-eyed teen got dressed, letting his childish side take over a  bit as he opted to wear a plain white t-shirt displaying a certain movie's large logo on the front of it. After putting his shirt on, the teen moved to select a pair of shorts, not being able to decide between a black or darkish gray pair. But once the 19-year-old saw how his plain blue button-up shortsleeve shirt looked against both pairs, he decided to go with the dark gray colored shorts. After putting the article of clothing on, the young Jensen male put his plain blue button-up shortsleeve shirt on over his t-shirt. Being pleased with his clothing choices, Clay looked himself over in the large mirror hanging in his room before grabbing his usual go-to pair of sunglasses and heading towards the bathroom to finish up. 
                          
Upon entering the restroom again, the teenager used a small amount of hair gel to give himself the causually messed up look he sported sometimes. Once his hair was fixed to his liking, the teen headed back to his room to put on his usual black and white converse before grabbing his wallet and finally heading back downstairs where Allison and Harley were patiently waiting for him. Being that the movie started at 11:15am, the group of three left the house together at 10:45am to make their way towards The Crestmont movie theater in town.
                          
After driving and finding a parking space near the theater, the group walked up together, and Clay offered to pay since he'd get a discount for working there. After purchasing three tickets for the movie, the trio headed into the air conditioned building and made their way over to the decently busy consessions stand. Though the line wasn't too bad, there were only two employees working the consessions, so there was still a small but doable wait.
                          
After a minute or so, it was finally their turn as they stepped up to the counter, and Clay offered the boy behind the counter a kind smile. "Hey, Clay." The worker greeted, having known the Jensen teen from working alongside him a couple of times. "Hey, Corey." The blue-eyed teen greeted back. "So, what can I get you?" The worker, Corey, asked politely with a smile. "We'll just take a small popcorn, two Cokes, a water, and a box of Skittles." The 19-year-old said after asking his sister what she and Harley wanted. After getting the small popcorn, three drinks, and box of candy, Corey rung everything up and recited the price to his customers. The Jensen teen paid for the movie snacks and beverages before the trio grabbed everything, including a few napkins and some straws, and began making their way to the right viewing room for their movie.
                          
Once inside the right room, the three weren't surprised to see that not many people were here to see the film today as it had already been out for a bit. Taking their pick of the litter, Clay led his sister and Harley up to the middle row of seats before walking directly to the center of the vacant row. Being in the very middle was an ideal thing as you wouldn't have to crane your neck looking up or even maybe slightly down at the movie screen the whole time. Taking their seats and getting settled, Clay and Allison sat on either side of Harley as a few previews still played on the large screen. But after a few more minutes, the movie started with the iconic opening song, "You've Got a Friend in Me" by Randy Newman. The 19-year-old smiled to himself as the movie finally began, and he couldn't help but feel like a kid again as he watched the fourth installment of the classic Toy Story movies with Allison and Harley.
                          
When the movie came to an end, the older Jensen sibling glanced over at her brother, giving a small, flat smile as she reached over and placed a gentle hand against his shoulder. "You ok?" She asked, watching her brother collect himself after a whirlwind of emotions he hadn't expected to experience in the slightest. Chuckling a little, Clay smiled, glancing at the older girl. "I'm fine." He said, his eyes still a little watery from one specific scene that took place towards the end of the movie. Sure, there were happy, funny moments along the way, but the scene that really got to the Jensen teen came out of nowhere as he hadn't been expecting it one bit.
