Forum: Lost Stories

I read this story probably 10 or more years ago. What I remember is that a high school boy lived alone in a mansion. I do not recall why there was no mother. His father was very wealthy and spent most of his time living and working abroad - depositing ample money for the kid to live on. At this moment, I do not recall whether there was a love interest. I do believe there was some effort to conceal that he lived alone.
I'm hoping someone remembers the title of the story and the author, or maybe some of the details Ive forgotten.
i assume I liked the story or I would not remember its existence. i suspect there must've been a girl involved and that she probably spent some time with him in the mansion - but i don't actually remember that.
Jog anybody's memory?

Some elements of your story are found in A Friend in Need by Heathen57. I'm not sure it'sthe one you're looking for, but you might like it anyway.

If the MC controls magic then perhaps ElSol's Set Fire to the Rain

Rich Kid by Dark1?

Finding Home by Ernest Bywater hits most of those topics. Protagonist lived with mother and extended family in Australia. Father was oversees in army. All of family are killed in an auto accident. Father gets out of army and they move to US to 'restart their lives' so to speak.

It might be "Friday night lights" by The Senator. It is unfinished and despite promises and many fervent wshes, it appears fated to remain so. But is a good read.

I would second a friend in need from what you said.

A bit more to the story, a pregnant school friend shows up at his door after being kicked out by her parents and the MC takes her in to care for her. His father is not happy at first when he comes to visit.

I'll second Friday night lights because it was the first thing I thought of when I read the description.
