I
make a disgusted sound in my throat. “I am totally fucked up by
what my mother did to me,” I say, still aghast at his reaction to
my story.
“Fucked
up?” he questions, confused. “Why? Because you’re shy? Because
you’re private? Because you don’t like to be vulnerable? Because
you strive to achieve great things to prove you’re good enough to
be worth something?”
The
way he instantly knows me makes me very uncomfortable. I freeze, wide
eyed and unable to speak for a moment. How could he see me so
clearly? How did this connection between us go so deeply? It was
disturbing to me, the understanding between us. It’s deeper than
even the physical pull between us, as if the air that separates our
bodies is electrically charged. I had worked my whole life to push
people away, building up this wall of protection. And yet here is
this man, tearing it down and seeing who I am through all the
bullshit. Maybe I'm not as good at hiding myself as I thought.
“Yeah,”
I finally muttered. “Those reasons are pretty much why.”
“It
makes you beautiful. The things you say it created in you... are what
attract me to you in this unbelievable way. You’re timid, shy,
brilliant, and completely unaware of how amazing you are.”
I go
statue still. My heart feels like it’s going to explode at his
words. How did our conversation change course so quickly? I don’t
know if I’m prepared for this. “Amazing?” I repeat in
disbelief.
He
smiles a catlike smile, like he’s hunting again. Immediately, my
breathing increases. “Oh yes. When I first saw your eyes from the
stage,” he leans closer to me. I want to both back away and lean
toward him at the same time. “I wanted to make them roll back into
your head. I wanted to grab your round hips and pull you close to
me.” He crouches on the couch, one leg on and one leg off, leaning
over me. With his face against my cheek again, he whispers in my ear,
“You. Are. Breathtaking.”
MY REVIEW
Tracks will blow your mind.
The flow and the concept of the
story are good, it’s easy to understand and love the story.
About the characters, they are easy to love and relate with especially Dylan.
Jeremy is hot! It's just that because of his addiction, that's the only thing that made me a bit not like him.
Scott, I really love him!!
The story, is good. I love how it made me interested and curious on what will happen next with theses characters. On how the story ended, it shocked me. But I loved it. It's unexpected and I can't wait what will happen next..

I
finally reach his big, wooden door at the top of the steps. With my
heart pounding, I reach quickly for the doorknob. I’m planning to
just bust my way in there. But when I lay my hand on the knob, I
pause. Because above the pounding in my ears I can hear guitar
chords…a melody playing softly through the thick door. Not just any
melody, but the most beautiful and heartbreaking melody I’ve ever
heard. It’s a simple song, slow and beautiful, a ballad. The sound
makes my heart hum and my mind clear. My blood pressure returns to
normal again instantly.
The
melody continues and it’s so beautiful that I’m compelled to
stand in silence and listen. I desperately need to hear it more
clearly. I’m scared to go in; afraid the melody will stop when he
sees me. I carefully and quietly turn the doorknob, cracking the door
just a slight bit. I stop breathing for a moment, praying he hasn’t
noticed. When the melody continues, I put my ear up to the crack.
The
song fills my head like a dream, each note breaking my heart with the
emotion it coveys. Tears spring to my eyes, and I’m not even sure
why other than that the haunting tune.
“In
my heart’s sequestered chambers lies truth stripped of poets
gloss…” I
hear Jeremy’s voice begin with the melody. His voice, yet not his
voice. His voice because it’s still bluesy and rock and roll, but
soft and extremely sad. Devastatingly sad. Beautiful…
“Words
alone are vain and vacant and my heart is mute…” His
voice breaks on the end of the sentence, but the song continues. “In
response to aching silence memory summons half heard voices. And my
soul finds primal eloquence and wraps me in song…” Tears
fall down my cheeks, his singing changing and warming as if he is
actually wrapping me in the music he plays. His voice becomes more
beautiful as he continues, pained and tortured.
“Wraps
me…in song…If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby. If you
would win my heart, sing me a love song. If
you would mourn me and bring me to God, sing me a requiem. Sing me to
heaven!”
His voice crescendos as he sings the lyrics, ending in a wounded
plea, as if he’s begging for relief from pain.
I’m
sobbing loudly now, and I can’t wait anymore to be in his presence.
I push the door open and see his shocked expression from the couch in
the living room where he sits. He’s holding his glimmering silver
guitar in his hand, and I spot where my name is written in green
cursive along the bottom of it.
He
looks surprised at first, his eyes wide and breathing rapid. We lock
eyes with each other and tears roll down both our cheeks. His fingers
move along the neck of the guitar again, not looking away from
me. “Sing
me a lullaby. A love song. A requiem. Love me, comfort me. Bring me
to God.”
I
put a hand up to my mouth. He takes a shaky breath and
continues. “Sing
me a love song. Sing me to Heaven…” He
finishes, the last note lingering in the air, soft and sweet and
agonizing.
My
knees give out under the weight of my stress and pain. My emotions
have been all over the place. Here I was, coming to scream at him and
tell him that I thought he was a piece of shit. Now I find myself
sobbing on the floor of his apartment because of the crushing way
that I love him. That I can’t live without him. That he needs to
tell me it’s not true.
MY REVIEW
Trials, just like Tracks is also a good read. For me, this
book bought things to the next level.
I love how the things got to be clearer
despite the things that will happen.
About
the story, I love how things went with all the trials and the situation that is
happening, Jeremy being accused of murder. Even though Dylan has Scott by her
side, her love to Jeremy is much greater. As he story goes by I was curious on
what will happen to Scott and Dylan’s relationship, if he and she will end up
together or will Dylan have the guts to leave Scott and be with Jeremy.
As the
story goes by things went clearer, the murder and the relationship of Scott and
Dylan, and Jeremy on the other side if the story.
The characters; Scott, I so love
him. He’s patient and he’s the type of guy which you can easily fall in love
with. Despite Dylan’s past and issues, he’s always there for her and he’s ready
to comfort and love her with all his heart. Jeremy on the other hand, a bad boy
type of a guy. Despite all the issues and the addiction, his love for Dylan gave
him strength to pull himself together. Dylan on the other hand, a girl that
loved a guy despite his flaws but things doesn’t always have a happy ending (on
what happen to her on the first part). But as the things went, there are
unexpected things that will happen and will affect Dylan’s decision to which
she will choose in the end. On how the things ended, I loved it; I’m not
disappointed on how things went. Especially the ending part, I so so loved
it!!!!
