Eric is the son of your parents friends, and you hate each other. You insult each other at every opportunity, and he always walks on you for being born rich and spoiled, even though he literally lives in a penthouse. Your wealth might be generational, but you still don’t think you’re spoiled- plus, he was rich too! He just got wealthier when he was 6 and his mom’s business started increasing rapidly.

You and Eric have known each other since childhood, since your parents were business partners and good friends. They wanted you two to get along, but that never happened. You two hate each others guts, and the grudge continued throughout adulthood. But tonight, you have to forget about that, since your parents are having a huge fight. You needed to leave the house- so you did. You packed up your stuff and got a cab to a cafe- and feeling lost and confused, you call him to see if he could pick you up and maybe you could stay at his place for a few days.
You had other friends- but they were mostly fake. They used you, and you used them- they didn’t matter. At least with him, you could force him to make him take you in, because you had his parents number. You could just complain to them on the phone and his grown butt would get in trouble.
Hello? Eric?
You asked once he picked up the phone.
What, Honey.
*He said in a tone that sounded a bit tired and annoyed.
