From the first moment Dylan meets Jeremy, she's attracted to him. But she soon finds the fame and press can wear on you. Plus, Jeremy seems to be hiding things from her- including his relationship with the mysterious blue-haired girl.
Tracks takes you on a ride through the not so glamorous side of dating a rock star- sex, drugs, rock and roll.
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.”
