What I was thinking when I heard about Gatsby's Death

Of course I feel guilty but not guilty enough to confess what I'd done. It was assumed after we ran from the scene that he would take the blame for me. It was the gentlemen thing to do. I loved him, I really did but maybe his death was for the better. I had my young little fool with Tom and it was meant to be that I stay with him. If Gatsby never died I don't think I would have ever been able to leave him because our love was like no other. I'll miss him and think about him everyday but really this is the smart way to live with Tom. I was so love struck I didn't even think about what would happen if the money ran out because only god knows where he got all that money. The rule is: Rich girls don't marry poor boys. I could never risk that with Gatsby even if he was loaded when we fell in love all over again. It makes me sad to think about the fact that Mr. Wilson shot while he was just lounging in the pool. Gatsby didn't kill anyone, I did and yet he died for it. No one will ever know my secret besides Nick (we all know he would never tell) and that's the way it will stay. Gatsby's death was probably best for me and that is how I will think about it.

  1. How dare you not attend my funeral! How could you possible say that you loved me and not want to say goodbye. We could have had a good life together. I know you loved me more than Tom, so how could you do this to me? It was your fault that I was murdered anyway. I protected you and was killed as a result. Maybe this is for the better because I could never have lived knowing that I lost you.
