Everything You've Ever Wished For

My name is Archie. You might know me as the famous musician. I know, I know, you're my biggest fan. If you're lucky, I might even let you show me how much you love me.

Howard slowly looked up from his computer as he finished editing his latest video game review. He was a little out of sorts, not entirely sure what time it was, when he’d last showered and if he managed to eat more than one meal today. He blinked at the clock on his monitor. It was a few minutes past 5pm. Deon said something about the Carnival being in town for the night and told him he’d try to drag out Archie as well. Howard sighed as he got up from his chair, took a whiff of his armpits and decided he probably needed a shower if he was ever planning to get out tonight. 

After scheduling his latest video to post tomorrow morning and writing a quick email to his manager, he took a quick shower and got dressed. He figured that having a 16-hour work day was enough of an excuse to ditch his friends and maybe hibernate at home, but he had been doing enough of that lately so it was probably time for a change of scenery. Besides, it was only one night, and he had missed his friends. He drove to the venue and lined up with the rest of the crowd. He was just a few more people to the front when a hand clapped him on the shoulder. He smiled at the sight of Archie. “I’m sorry, have we met? I think you’re a little lost here buddy, the back of the line is over there.”

“That almost stung, Howard.” He laughed, dramatically clutching his heart. “I’m almost hurt.” Archie threw off the comment and pulled his friend closer to the front of the line, he wanted in and quickly. It was the first time he had ever been to an event like this and not been the centre of attention. Which was a weird feeling that he didn’t really like, but he was making an effort at least. “Have you heard from Deon?” He asked. His other friend was probably busy chasing some girl he had just met, a habit that had always annoyed him. Why chase girls when they would just come to you with enough time?

Archie looked over at his friend and narrowed his eyes. “How long have you been awake dude?”

Archie had been cooped up in his room all day. It wasn’t that he was intentionally avoiding people, that would be ridiculous. But he had been working on a song and he hated leaving in the middle of his process, or as Deon had affectionately put it his “obsession”. The song was finally finished, and when he looked out of his window the sun had gone down. That didn’t bother him though, he preferred night time. He grabbed his phone a wallet and headed out the door. Everyone would be at the carnival by now, which made him feel a little out of sorts as no one had messaged him about it.

When he finally got the the show grounds, which was just a giant field outside the main bit of town, there seemed to be hundreds of people lining up to enter into the carnival. Sighing, Archie resigned himself to the end of the line. He missed the days when he could just push up front but now, instead, he was forced to wait. That was when he spotted someone closer to the front. Grinning, Archie sauntered up to them. “You don’t mind if I cut in with you, right?” He asked.

Biography

TW: Drug & substance abuse

Archibald grew up charmed. Everything was always handed to him without him having to lift a finger. His parents seemed uninterested in raising the child they created, instead choosing to leave him with nanny after nanny. It didn’t bother Archie that he never saw his parents except at important events. In fact it suited him perfectly. Eventually he learned that he had control over basically everything. One small tantrum meant that the latest nanny lost her job. He enjoyed playing with people’s lives.

He discovered his talent for music accidentally. At his expensive private school, he was forced to by a music teacher who refused to give in to his ridiculous demands. So he picked up a guitar, reluctant to do anything that resembled “work”, and hasn’t put it down since. Through music, he discovered, people would do anything to please him because of his talent. And he loved it.

Soon he was deep into the fabulous life of a musician and everything that came with it. The girls, the booze, the drugs. Nothing was out of his reach. Critics praised him, no one ever had anything bad to say. He had more money than even he could have ever dreamed of. And all the attention that he could ever hope for. But he still felt like something else was missing. He felt like he was only half of a person. So he filled the other half with as many drugs as possible. Soon everything became about them. His life revolved around his next fix. And then, even music was secondary. So, scared to lose their big money maker, his management put their foot down and sent him to rehab. In rehab he met his best friend, Deon.

Rehab was completely different to anything else he had ever experienced. There were rules and structure. He could just throw a tantrum and get away with things anymore. He was sure he wouldn’t have survived if it wasn’t for Deon. The two became inseparable, having come from similar backgrounds. When they left rehab together, Archie moved in with Deon to a small country town that Deon had grown up in. At first Archie hated it, but soon it grew on him and he began writing music again. Much to the joy of his management. Pangaea was a new start for Archie, a clean slate. He refuses to call his parents because in his darkest days they did nothing but let him fall. So he was finally on his own.

When Deon told Archie of his plan to open a bar, Archie thought it was ridiculous. A recovering drug addict running a bar? There had to be a punchline somewhere. But he slowly came around to the idea, after much convincing from Deon. Archie provided the funds to get Deon started and became a silent partner.

The two are still inseparable. With one comes the other. Deon is the only person in Pangaea who knows Archie’s past and he wanted to keep it that way. The people in the town seemed to accept him, but only because they didn’t know the old him. He’s scared to mess it up and lose the first home that he has ever found.

Personality

Before rehab, Archie was insufferable to be around. He knew he was great and would play on it constantly. He still retains some of his vanity, have you seen him? But he knows that things that hard work and determination now. He still refuses to touch any sort of drug, be it alcohol or coffee. He’s scared of becoming the person he once was. Archie is fiercely protective of his friends, even though the only person he has ever let close enough to see that is Deon.

Chris Hemsworth is like my bromance. Seriously, I think I really inherited one of my best friends now. He doesn’t know this yet, but I’m going to stalk him if he doesn’t.
