Why I.....

The day I went into Jay Gatsby’s home I felt so many emotions. I was intrigued, excited, nervous, but mostly afraid of how my feelings would change between us. He first showed me the big piano and got a man to play us a song so we could dance just like we did five years ago. That brought me back to so many flash backs of us slow dancing like we had used to do. Then we brought me into his closet. It was huge and beautiful just like the rest of his house was. He had it filled with wonderful and richly made clothing. They were all the colors of the rainbow. Jay was being his goofy and fun self and began to through the shirts around on me and throughout the room. In that moment, I had realized what I could have had and what I had missed out on by marrying Tom. I then began to get emotional and started to cry. I had made the mistake and I knew I should have waited for him. As Jay Gatsby comforted me, I wanted to tell him I had made a mistake, but I could not do that. I had to make up a lie. I then told him that all of the brightly colored shirts had made me cry. He knew that it was not true, but he comforted me and cared for me like he always did. Jay Gatsby had always loved me and in that moment I finally realized that I did to.
