Daisy's Point Of View- Chapter 9

Tom and I decided that we are definitely leaving. We haven’t told anyone and we are not going to. We are not even going to tell Jordan about us moving away. They can all understand what we did when the right time comes and I’m sure that they will all understand why we had to do such a thing. It was hard to say good-bye to everything and everyone without letting them know. But the most difficult part of it all was to go up to Gatsby, look him in the eyes and tell him that I was leaving. I was difficult because I wouldn’t be able to say it. The moment I would see him ı would thrown myself in to his arms and tell him to never open the back again. I knew myself so I decided I wouldn’t say anything to him. He is a smart man; he will understand why I had to do this.  The dream ends here. This is officially the end of Gatsby’s dream of a life we could have had together. Yes, I crushed his dreams and heart once again. I don’t know what life has for me in the West but I am ready for yet another risk. It’s time to open the new page, a white sheet of paper ready to be filled with more stories to come…

Daisy's Point Of View- Chapter 8

It has been hard to sleep at night these days. I haven’t ever been in a situation like this in my entire life. I’m in pain and suffering and have no clue about what to do rater than wait. I haven’t been out these couple of days. It makes me nervous to hear car sounds from the front of the house. Tom also agreed that it would be better if ı stayed in the house for these couple of days. I wish Nick came over to keep me company but I understand how hard he has to work. Gatsby and I have grown apart these days because I’m sacred to face the truth that firstly I don’t love my husband. Secondly I don’t want to be with my husband. Thirdly I killed a woman and fourthly the guy I want to be with is my one and only true love.  The dilemma is killing me. I don’t know what to do, what to say for to react to things anymore. Tom and I are talking about leaving the East to move somewhere else where we can live a silent life together, raising our child in peace. I don’t know how I’m going to tell Gatsby about my choice. My place is where my husband is and I’m scared to separate from him. Tom tells me that it’s better that we don’t tell anyone, and move to a place where we can open a fresh, new page and start all over again.

Daisy's Point Of View- Chapter 7

I invited everyone over to our house for lunch. It was a big assembly. Everyone showed up and we had a nice lunch all together. The best part of the entire day was the kiss right there in the middle of our living room ı gave to Gatsby. It was the simple most amazing way to let myself, him and other to understand the actual true way I felt about him. It was the hottest day of summer and also probably the most boring one. I wanted to spend time with Gatsby alone. Even though I told myself that ı would never leave Tom, my heart melted to the sight of Gatsby and my feelings changed instantly.  I suggested that we go up to New York to have more fun. Of course Tom, “the lover he is of New York” he is jumped into the idea and decided on his own that we should all go to New York. At least I got some alone time with Gatsby in the car on the way to New York. We drove up together and the rest followed us with Gatsby’s car.  It was a nice drive to New York where we went to the Plaza Hotel. We sat down to Tom’s embracing “interview” for Gatsby. He started forcing him to tell the truth about his life and constantly tried to bring him down so I could understand that Tom was much better than Gatsby. Like I cared… When someone is truly in love it doesn’t matter if that person is anything. It doesn’t matter the fact how he makes the money. But I though Gatsby’s come back came out to be way to strong.  I mean he might not be the greatest guy or the greatest husband, but Tom is my husband and it was inappropriate for Gatsby to tell him how ı felt about Tom and Gatsby. I have a mouth too, and ı could have told everything myself too. But Gatsby just had to rush it. But as Gatsby told Tom about the way I felt, I suddenly started feeling the opposite way again. I mean Tom was my husband and we have a child together for God’s sake! The rough evening ended by us driving back to West Egg. I really wanted to apologize to Gatsby about the way I felt now but I just couldn’t find the right words. Gatsby gave the steering wheel of his car in to my hands and told me that it would take my mind off things. But this was the worst idea that he ever had. Driving through the valley of ashes, my mind was totally of the road focused on the dilemma of my life, trying to find a solution out of everything I had recently been through when a young woman accidentally jumped on the car. I couldn’t hit the breaks or turn the steering wheel to the other side. Blood rushed to my brain with the sight of the poor woman’s sudden death. Like all the problems weren’t enough now I had this trouble too. We drove away. We were too scared of all the things that might have happened if people saw what we were responsible for. Gatsby said he would take the blame for me. He said he would lie to people that he was driving but there is still a bad feeling within me.

Daisy's Point Of View- Chapter 6

After all the hard work and effort I put in to convincing, I could finally convince Tom to take me to the party that took place in the Gatsby mansion. The party started out fun but lead from being mediocre to a disaster. I mean all the  lower class people joined together, having fun and all the simple ladies getting drunk in front of everyone.  I really didn’t want to be rude to Gatsby and definitely didn’t want to disrespectful so I tried to look like I was having a good time and was enjoying the party, but I didn’t seem to get much out of the party. It seemed like Tom wasn’t feeling the same way as me. He was off talking the to other people that were in the party, who have obviously not been formally invited. Why would he want to talk with people like those who don’t know anything and rudely show up to a party they haven’t been invited? I really tried my best to have fun but I guess these parties are not for me anymore. I wanted to spend time with Gatsby after all the things we went through the other day and also re-embrace and live the past we had together. I missed him but he was nowhere to be found all night long. I guess this was just a lesson from God to me, telling me that it would never be sensible for me to leave Tom, because it would also mean loosing my social status and giving up the glamorous upper-class life and I was definitely not ready to give up all that I had thanks to Tom. I told myself over and over again that night that I could handle small problems in my marriage; I mean which couple in this world doesn’t have problems?  The party showed me the right way to shape my life, which definitely includes being with Tom, till the end.

Daisy's Point Of View- Chapter 5

I was so happy when Nick called me over for tea in the evening. You know it’s just great to spend time with family and especially family which shares common interests with me and keeps me company and my mind off Tom’s dirty business going on in New York. I was overwhelmed with happiness when he especially told me to come alone because the last thing I needed was tom’s presence with me. I feel like we’re growing more apart every day, every hour and even every minute. His presence makes me think about complicated situations that hurt my brain.  It was great timing to go to Nick’s house especially with Tom being God knows where. The driver dropped me off at Nick’s house with the rain pouring down on me like a glass of water being poured down from the sky.  Walked in through the door of the house with a big smile on my face, as I was just too happy to see Nick once again. From his face I felt that he had a lot to tell me about. Probably because of all the time he spent with Jordan in the past few days.  But before I could go up to him to give him a hug, I heard the door opening behind me. Turning around I saw something that had been in my heart for years.  I saw Gatsby, the only men in this entire world that showed my entire body, from my to nail to each and every strand of my hair what love is and how it feels like. I felt my fingers shaking and felt unconscious; I didn’t know what to say or how to respond to this sudden shock that surrounded the whole room. I chose to stay for a second but I wanted to drop myself in to his arms and live the days we had together in the past once again. It was the moment I realized that we belonged together. It was the moment I realized that Tom wasn’t the one. It was him. It was Gatsby. We were together the entire day, eye to eye never looking anywhere else but each other’s eyes. After staying for a couple of hours we went back to his house, which by the way is the mansion that my house looks at and where all the great parties are held.  He showed me all the rooms in his mansion and we lived through the rooms one by one. I was a fool and now I am well aware of it. I don’t want my daughter to be a fool. I didn’t want to back to the cold, unbearable atmosphere of my house that night, but here I am once again, alone in my house with no one who cares about me as much Gatsby. He was also kind enough to invite us to a party in his house which I doubt Tom can decline because it's a formal invitation.  I would love to see Gatsby at one of his parties and get a taste of the parties that go on in his mansion! I'm extremely excited!
