Chapter 1: Resolutions

Chapter Text

When Pedro made the New Years resolution back in January to travel the world, being a roadie for a band he didn’t even particularly like was not exactly what he had in mind. Still, it was an international tour and with any luck, Pedro would get a few days off to see the sights.

The band he was touring with was called “What You Will,” the hottest young band to come out of New Zealand in years. It’s not that Pedro didn’t like them, they just always seemed to take themselves too seriously and the type of music they played wasn’t really his thing.

Pedro’s friend Hero had given him a rundown of all of the band’s members before he left. The band was made up of five members. The lead singer was a guy called Duke Orsinio, a guy who never seemed all that intelligent to Pedro. Other members of the group were Sebastian, Toby, Andrew, and Balthazar. Hero’s favorite by far was Balthazar. “He writes a lot of the songs and he plays just about every instrument in existence,” she had told him.

The tour started in a week in Los Angeles. Pedro and a few other workers were required to be there early so they could get to know their jobs. As he boarded the plane he said a silent goodbye to New Zealand. He knew he wouldn’t be back until New Years.
