What I was feeling as I was Driving Home....

After Tom and Gatsby got into their argument, I felt so anxious. I did not know what to do. On one hand, Tom had been my husband for five years. We had kids together and it was what I was used to. I was afraid of change. But then on the other hand, Gatsby had always been the one that I wanted. I knew I had to choose what I wanted and I was having a hard time because I was afraid to lose the life I had with Tom but at the same time Gatsby had been the one that I had wanted and should have waited for. I felt so confused, lost, and in some ways I felt alone. I did not want to pick the wrong choice. My mind was all over the place and I was driving too quickly. Before I could stop, a women came running towards my car. I did not have enough time to stop. I had a vivid memory of the look on that poor women’s face as she flew over my car. I was in so much shock and I was afraid that I could not stop. I had to keep going because I was afraid of what I had done. Gatsby was trying to comfort me as much as he could, but I was a mess. I was afraid of what I had done and what kind of person I had seemed to become.

  1. Daisy,
    I wish that you would have let Gatsby drive home. Even more so I wish that Gatsby and Tom would have stayed in the city and worked it out, but you needed to go home. I know that you did not mean to hurt her, and that accidents happen but you should have not been driving. I wish things would have turned out differently because now you are the main reason for the death of two people. I will always love you my beautiful cousin, I just wish things didn't have to be this way.

  2. Honestly Daisy,
    I know you were going through a lot and getting out of there was the right thing to do. You really needed to calm down though. Driving is something that should always be taken seriously. You should have waited till you had gotten home till you let your emotions get to you. It was dumb of you to drive home anyways. It wasn't even your car. Maybe next time you will make the right decisions. Hope all is well.
