I'm so sorry I haven't updated sooner, I know it was spring break but I've been out of school for a long time so I had a TON of make-up work to finish. So it left almost no time to write. Also, I have gotten NO reviews, and I know you guys are reading this because I get emails all the time of ya'll following or adding it to your favorites. So please review or I have no inspiration to write.
Chapter 2: The Beginning
"Way back on the radio dial a fire got light inside a bright eyed child"
We're in the car on the way to the crime scene and instead of joining in the usual banter with Booth, my thoughts swirled around in my head. Apparently sensing that I wasn't going to pay attention and knowing that I wouldn't share my thoughts until I was ready, Booth reached down and turned on the radio. I smiled as the easy tunes that flowed through the speakers helped to calm the tornado of memories that my guitar had unleashed.
*Flashback*
Five year old Brennan is riding in the car with her mom and her older brother, Russ.
Russ had been arguing with their mom and it had finally escalated until a tense veil of silence rested over the car. In an attempt to keep his mom from trying to talk to him again Russ began fiddling with the radio. Finally settling on a station he leaned back against the seat with a huff.
From her spot in the backseat, hidden from the drama that had occurred, Brennan sat up as the music seemed to burn through her very soul. Of course she had heard music before but she had never really listened.
*End of Flashback*
I Smiled as I remembered that day. It was the day that it all began. The day I fell in love with music.
"Every note just wrapped around her soul.
From steal guitars to Memphis all the way to Rock and Roll"
The Brennan's had a radio that they kept in the kitchen. From the day I realized my love for music I would stay in the kitchen whenever I could just to listen to the radio. It didn't matter what was playing. Whether it was the country music my dad loved or the Rock and Roll Russ would play, no matter what playing the music was always seemed to grab on to something deep inside my soul and breathe life into it. By the time I was six I realized I wanted to play guitar so that I could let the music that seemed to live inside me out. That Christmas my parents bought me my first guitar.
*Flashback*
Russ and Temperance Rushed down the steps in their house at five in the morning. Stacks of presents were waiting for them underneath the tree. About fifteen minutes later most of the presents were unwrapped. When it was Temperance's turn to open her next present her dad stood up.
"Wait her I'm going to go get your next present." Dad said with a smile. A minute later he walked back in with a long box, and set it down in front of Temperance. Curious she tore through the paper at the speed of sound. With a squeal she picked up a guitar and pulled it into her lap. She flipped it over to look at the back then carefully laid it down beside her and ran into her parents arms.
*End of Flashback*
I remember how excited I had been when I got that guitar. It wasn't a nice guitar. Just one of those children's guitars with only four or five strings, but you almost had to literally pry it from me to get me to do anything but play it for the next couple of weeks.
"Bones? Bones!" Booth called, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"What Booth?" I said shaking off the rest of my thoughts.
"We're here." He said opening his door. I suddenly realized the car had stopped moving, and hurriedly opened my door and hopped out, eager to have something else to focus on.
Author's Note
Again sorry it took so long. I know it suck to have to wait on stories so I promise I will try to update sooner, and I'll try and give you a longer story next time. I am going to include details about the case (they will be actual cases from the show just with details shifted around to fit my story) but I want ya'll to tell me whether or not the case should be a big part of the story. PLEASE REVIEW.
