Worlds Torn Apart

Zeke's Idea for Sharing the Holiday Spirit

We had finished and paid for our meals and surprised my brother and the others by also paying thier bill at the cafe. I had a box of Sno-Cap sweets they are basicly chocolate chips with these little white sprinkle pearls on them and they are yummers! mum and I always shared a box of them around Christmas, Dad and I would share chocolate kisses candy and Draco would share chocolate covered cherries with me and of course we shared the other candy with eachother as well. I offered Bryan some and took me on my offer and found that he like them."It's the chocolate chips without the cookies" I laughed "Yeah that's what I said when I was little" I gave some to Mick he told both me and Bryan to hold out ours hands and we did and he placed bags of fudge brownie M&M's in them saying he wanted to share some sweets with us for a change and knew we liked those as he said it was funny when Kyra and I got into a fight over a bag of them before and Bryan reached over us and took the bag for himself. I laughed "Doesn't help that Bryan is almost six feet two inches tall and can easily reach over us" Draco was the same height as him, he gets his height from dad, I get mine from my mum, I reach Mick's neck, so I reach Bryan and Draco's shoulders which isn' bad and me being small makes it eaiser to pick me up when I get stubborn and won't move, Draco's done it to me many of times, Dad had to do it in the store when I was a toddler because I didn't want to get out of the middle of the floor so rather then fight with me and make me tanturm, he bent down and picked me up and put me over his shoulder like I was a little sack of sugar. Mum did it to Draco as well cause he decided to copy what I was doing ,only she called him a sack of potatoes since he was heavier then me and he's not fat, like our dad he's solid muscle. We were toddlers back then so we didn't get into much trouble. Mick had said Bede was the one who picked him up and carried him when he was about three and being a little shit and refusing to move his ass, though he did get a treat out of Uncle Bede for not throwing a tanturm when he was picked up and moved. Zeke and Kai are about six feet in height and yes they can pick me up easily as Kai did making Raya laugh though he picks her up as well, Xander can easily pick Zeke up which is funny as Xander is about two inches taller then him. Zeke had picked me up the one time because I sat on his coloring book and wouldn't get off of it, so yeah we really trust eachother and it's mainly our way of goofing around and no one gets hurt as we are careful with eachother. Layla was looking at something a shop window and I turned my attention to it "That's pretty" She nods "Mummy had been looking at a few times, but she refuses to treat herself as she wants my brother and I to have the things we need and she gets us little treats every now and then." Draco looks at her "Sounds like our Mum and Dad when we were your age, always made sure we had what we needed and worried about themselves later" Mick whispered something to me and I nodded and gave him a thumbs up. Jimmy asked what that was all about. I looked at him "Mick is going to see if Santa can bring your mummy a treat for Christmas as we feel she really deserves one" They both smile and say they feel the same way. Kai looked at his brother "You ok Zeke?" He nods "Yeah, I was just thinking, last year was so bad because of that pandemic...and some people are struggling to get caught up and some still can't give thier families a proper christmas, I feel we could do something to help them you...to give back and make sure at least everyone gets a little holiday cheer" I turned to face him "Maybe we can..." Draco looks at me "How?" Mick comes over "I know one way..a concert and the money we earn can go to help people in need, Zeke's right everyone deserves a little love around the Holidays...and besides we have two assholes that need to be punished because they've been very naughty and Santa doesn't like it when you're naughty" Layla agrees with him saying some people belong on Santa's naughty list and yes indeed that's where Maya and Claude belong. We continued on our way and found some other stuff and made note of it.
