When I first saw Gatsby at Nicks house, I immediately felt how I did many years ago when Gatsby and I were in love. At first I thought it was too good to be true and it couldn't possibly be him, but it was. Seeing him was like love at first sight all over again. All of the love I have ever had for Jay Gatsby came rushing back. I remember all the moments we had and the memories we shared together. I couldn't stop looking at him or thinking about him. Seeing him took my breath away and made my heart skip a beat. I was so glad to see him and I knew by the look on his face he was happy to see me. He looked at me just as he did when we were in love. At the same time though, I was sad. I was sad because seeing Gatsby also made me think of Tom. I am married! I shouldn't be thinking of Gatsby because now that I am married, there's no future like there used to be. I didn't know what to say around him. I was so nervous and he seems as if he was too. It's hard to see someone you used to love. I didn't know what to do or what to say. Staring into his eyes brought back so many good memories but that worried me. I couldn't possibly start to fall for him again because my husband. Seeing my old love brought so much joy to my heart, but at the same time, brought it so much pain.
I was feeling a lot of things when I was driving home with Gatsby. I was feeling more nervous than anything. I did not know why though. I was filled completely with anxiety, and Jay sitting next to me definitely didn't make things better. When Gatsby noticed I was feeling nervous, he told me maybe I should drive home. Now this made me even more nervous. It made me nervous because I don't drive much. Jay insisted that I should try and drive though, so I did. Not knowing how the car worked was another contributing factor to my anxiety. While I was driving I was trying to focus as best as I could. But then, out of no where, a woman came running towards the car. I was only paying half attention to the road. There was so much on my mind. Trying to work the car, and Jay sitting next to me. I was too late when I tried to stop, but I hit her. I was in too much shock to realize what just happened and I didn't know what to do, so I kept driving.
Daisy,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I could help you and Gatsby rekindle your past feelings for each other when you both met up at my house. It really is a shame that you two did not end up together. All Gatsby wanted was to love you and have you love him back. As your cousin, of course, I just want you to be happy. I know Gatsby would have made you much happier than Tom does, but there is nothing to do about it now.
Sincerely,
Nick Carraway
