It was Tom all along

"Go on. He won't annoy you. I think he realizes that his presumptuous little flirtation is over." Tom


I accidentally hit some poor woman in the valley of the ashes. I was gonna swerve to hit the other car but I noticed it was an expensive car and I would rather hit some poor girl then smash up both of our beautiful vehicles. I am not gonna tell Tom because he will think it was Gatsby and that I am covering up for him. When we got home Tom and I had a chat. He told me he wouldn't run around on me any more and that we would move far, far away. Maybe Europe. We will bring our child with us and she will learn how other country' citizen build their wealth. I apologized for questioning our marriage, I realize now that I loved Tom all along. Gatsby is too short sighted for me, he is stuck in the past I am about moving forward. Moving forward with my money, my Tom and my daughter. The way that Gatsby yelled at Tom today made me realize that all men are the same so I might as well just stay with Tom. I won't have to get a divorce or lose my child or gain a reputation. The old money will hate me, that means my family will hate me for being with new money. Being new money is a worse reputation then committing adultery. That's way Gatsby should had ran away with me when I gave him the offer, before I got the chance to my mind. I am not gonna tell Jay, he will get the point when I do not call back.

For Jay Gatsby.

"You can't relive the past.....? Why of course you can" Jay Gatsby

Dearest Jay,


If you are reading this, I want to explain to you why I never called. I was confused about my feelings, I picked up the phone and started to dial, then I'd hang up. When we were younger you were the perfect man in the world for me at the time. I thought you were dead until the day before my wedding. I got told every blistering drunk and told everyone I would not be married. I thought you were dead and it was easy for me because I could accept you weren't there and that if I wanted to or not, it was time for me to move on.  When I saw you for the first time in 5 years my teenage dream rushed back into my head and when I was with you I was content, but I have a child. The way you made me feel like I was the only girl in the world was amazing, but I want you to know I am not. You can be in love with more than one person in your life time. The past is in the past Jay. I never wanted to break your heart but the life I already know is more convenient to me. I only wish the best for you. I am not the Daisy for you but I promise you if you follow the green light, it will lead you to a rose.

May greatness be with you around every corner.

Cheers,
Mrs. Buchanan


It is Gatsby

"It makes me sad because I have never seen such beautiful shirts." 

Gatsby. It's him. Still the same amazing beautiful Gatsby. With his beautiful house, and him beautiful organ and a view that some may say is beautiful too. Although to me, the view breaks my heart. I see my house and I realize that I soon have to go back to that. Away from Gatsby's beautiful house fit for a king and a queen and half a dozen children and back to a disguised hell hole where the phone rings non stop. And on the other end of the line Tom's lusty she-devil or devils, he thinks I do not know about. And  a daughter with the man I once had an exciting lusty relationship with. I felt so dumb today. As he was throwing some of his expensive shirts at me today I started to cry. I just realized I missed out on so much of Gatsby's success I never got to share it with him. I have wealth but, wealth and success are not the same things. Even though I am wealthy, sometimes, even though I have a house full of servants a little girl and Tom I feel lonely. Tom is respected I should be happy with him. Happy in the way I was with Jay and how I was when Tom and I started seeing each other. Jay wants me to tell To that I do never loved him. I don't know how I could lie to Tom like that or Jay or myself. Why can't Jay just understand that I love him now. That should be enough.

I Heard is Name Today.

"Gatsby.... What Gatbsy?" -Daisy 

 Gatsby! Could it be? No it can't. It can't be him.  Jordan mentioned a name today that filled me to the brim with guilt today. "Gatsby" It can't be the one, the Gatsby that lit the fire in my heart so many years ago. The Gatsby who was suppose to be my soul mate, the only one who my heart so desires. It cannot be that Gatsby. And if it were, why, it would be to late. Wouldn't it? That love, with that Gatsby ended as quick as it began 5 years ago. Either way this man's name strikes my heart with a thousand lightning bolts, because this name "Gatsby" is the name I have tried 5 years to release from my aching heart. And now that it has escaped from another's lips I feel as though I may die from sadness. I shouldn't get my own hopes up, there is surely other Gatsbys around besides him. But the way that Gatsby made me feel, could never be described not even if I went on for 100 years. I would never tell anyone this but sometimes when I look at Tom all I ever want is for Jay Gatsby to be the one looking back at me. When I look at my child I can't help but wish it were Jay's. In the beginning, Tom satisfied my needs. The need to be loved, and the need to be looked at in the very same way that Gatsby looked at me, and couple a while I looked at him the same way. But Tom will never be Jay. I wish I could have done anything on earth with Gatsby and I never got to tell him.
