Chapter 5 Just Believe
Despite considering Joey his best friend, there were things about the boy that irked Henry.
For one, Joey was born into money, unlike Henry. As such, Henry's friend didn't know what it was like to want for many things, even with his disability, his parents wealth fulfilling his childish wants. Normally that wouldn't bother Henry, but it showed in his work ethic. Joey didn't pull even half his weight when it came to group projects, the bulk of the work would end up on his partner, which was usually Henry. But Henry always let it slide and didn't say anything to his friend.
That didn't stop Henry from bringing up those small grievances to his family though.
Uncle Isaac, after listening to his nephew one night during dinner, mentioned something he heard over his years of living in Pacific Heights. The Elder Drew's, Eddie, favourite saying.
"You just have to believe. Belief can make you succeed. Belief can make you rich. Belief can make you powerful."
It was well known that the Drew family didn't make their money through hard work, that they didn't believe that hard work was needed to make your dreams come true. It was known that the Drew's had money, but no one knew exactly where and how they made it. Some believed it was old money, others believed it was bloody money, most didn't care.
Even at the age of six, almost seven, Henry thought, while oddly beautiful, that that kind of thinking was sort of childish and silly of his friend and his family to believe, but he left it alone.
After all it's not like Joey believing that was harmful to anyone.
