Anything I Own --- open

[alexander drake parker]

Alex dragged himself across the lake, his Ipod ear phones blasting Panic! at the Disco's 'new perspective.' as he walked his guitar hung by the strap around he shoulder and he bobbed his head to the music bored out of his mind. this had to be one of the most frustrating summers of his life. he needed more than anything something to take his mind off of his troubles and if it wasn't the middle of the afternoon he would have snuck off to his club in town, the after life, and gotten a drink, but he had curtain rules about drinking, hooking up, and being the one and only Alex Parker. he'd lives in the town of rockdale since he was born and sure he'd left for a while, boarding school when his mother couldn't control him anymore, which of course he thought was funny, and had manged to get kicked out easily. Of course after that he caused less trouble, but still basically ran the town.

a self satisfied smirk settled over his lips as he finally reached a spot underneath a tree by the lake. Alex removed his guitar from his shoulder and set it down on the grass before sliding down the wood of the tree and making himself comfortable. with a lazy smirk he picked up his guitar and strummed it lightly trying to think of something to play. It was odd not knowing what was going to happen when he picked up a guitar, but he liked it, his sound was his own. he wrote about how he felt, and put his heart into everything he wrote and that was one thing he appreciated about just being himself, his music was the essence of Alex Parker. He strummed quietly for a while, before picking it up an old song he really liked coming to his mind. A few days earlier he had helped his friend Katherine, one of the triplets figure out how to play it on the guitar and it took him a while to remember the first note as he played.

You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you
And...

I would give anything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give ev'rything I own
Just to have you back again...

He sung softly the smirk falling into a smile as he did so that song was a classic one originally made by Bread, but there had only been a few remakes after that and it silently died away in solitude, but his mother used to sing it too him when he was a kid.
