“Your wife doesn’t love you. She’s never loved you. She loves me.” When I heard those words come out of Gatsby's mouth it shocked my world. It was actually happening. I could not process what he said although I knew it was going to happen. I sat staring straight ahead as I felt my eyes swell up. After that I couldn’t hear. I suddenly blocked everything out of my mind and just sat looking forward. I could only hear murmurs. I look at Tom and see his eyebrows furrow and words flow out with anger. I come back to reality as I see Gatsby jump up from his feet. “She never loved you, do you hear? She only married you because I was poor and she was tired of waiting for me. It was a terrible mistake, but in her heart she never loved any one except me!”

“Going on for five years-and you didn’t know.” As I hear Tom and Gatsby argue about who I loved and what 5 years meant, I suddenly slide back into my daze and think. I want a cigarette. I cannot think when listening to the love of my life fight with my husband. So many things are wrong and it shouldn’t be this way. I think about who I really love and I see Gatsby. I listen in again as Tom yells “Daisy loved me when she married me and she loves me now.” “No” “She does though… I love Daisy too. Once in a while I go off on a spree and make a fool of myself, but I always come back, and in my heart I love her all the time.” I feel rage burning in my veins. “You’re revolting.” I turn to Nick suddenly and remind everyone of Toms continual actions, “Do you know why we left Chicago?

Tom suddenly steps forward why listing all of the times where he was really sweet to me. And all of the times I was truly in love with him. I knew it’s true, I was in love with him but I am ashamed now. Suddenly a flush of confusion flashes over me. “Please don’t.” The only words I could get out. I was overwhelmed with pressure that I wasn’t ready to let out so I grab a cigarette hoping the pain will slip away. I struggle with lighting my cigarette and throw in on the ground out of anger. Suddenly I get a stream of anger towards Gatsby. “Oh you want too much. I love you now-isn’t that enough? I can’t help the past.” Helplessly I whimper, “I did love him once-but I loved you too.” As the words left my lips I could tell Gatsby was hurt. Tom presses Gatsby “She didn’t know you were alive. Why- there’re things between Daisy and me that you’ll never know, things that neither of us can ever forget.” I look at Gatsby as he looked as though someone just stabbed him. Suddenly he remarks that he wants to speak with me alone. I shake my head “Even alone. I can’t say I never loved
