What I Was Feeling - The Yellow Car

What I Was Feeling – The Yellow Car
George has been acting so strange lately. He’s checking in on me every five seconds, he won’t leave my side, and the questions are endless from him. I’m starting to think he knows about my affair because he’s acting really suspicious. Until he confronts me, I’m not confessing anything. I was walking upstairs from the auto shop daydreaming about Tom when George grabs me tightly by my arm and locks me in our bedroom. I’ve been up here for days arguing through the walls and screaming out the window, but no one seems to care. I spent most of my days thinking about Tom and realizing we will never be together again. I had lost all hope. All the fame, money, and power I would have had with the love of my life slipped right out of my hands. I knew Tom wondered why I haven’t contacted him in so long, he must have been worried sick. Days later George finally came to the bedroom to talk face to face and I was so relieved until he started abusing me. At that moment I wanted to be locked in the bedroom by myself again where I could be at peace. Until I saw that yellow car, Tom’s yellow car. I knew it. I knew he would come around. He was saving me from my misery, my knight in shining armor, Tom Buchanan. I ran out to the car at full speed, my heart was racing, and my eyes were crying tears of joy, my love came to rescue me. This moment felt just like the movies, it even felt like I was going in slow motion. I couldn’t wait to run into his arms, but the car didn’t stop. The car swerved over to the left but then kept going straight at me in full force. I felt my body collapse as I was gasping for air, this couldn’t be my Tom. I was trying with every strength inside of me to keep holding on, but I couldn’t. Right before I close my eyes, I see a scared look on the driver’s face, a girl with bright blonde hair. Instantly I was unconscious, and I knew my life was over.

Why I - Fell in Love with Tom

Why I – Fell in Love with Tom Well, I use to believe love at first sight was impossible but, then I met Tom. The minute I saw Tom on the train I couldn’t get enough of him. Love is affection, devotion, passion, desire, warmth, and respect. Falling in love can be one of the most unexplainable feelings a person can endure. My love for Tom I simply couldn’t put into words, it was such a deep feeling that made me feel safe. Tom had everything I wanted and more. The money, fame, looks, you name it, Tom had it. My whole life I wanted to be somebody, I just wanted to be known. Although Tom had a wife, our love for each other was too strong to keep us a secret. When Tom introduced me to his cousin-in-law, I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it. Tom wasn’t scared to show me off in front of his family given the circumstances. Tom even made the efforts to come to my house and pretend to be interested in my pathetic husband's work just to talk to me. Anything I asked Tom to do, he did. I want...

Why I - Married George

Why I – Married George It was the Summer of 1910 when I married what I thought was quite the gentleman, George Wilson. However, I didn’t know George like I thought did. I just know once an upon a time he made me a very happy woman. He promised me the life I’ve always strived for, but he was a man of many lies. I once felt like I was on top of the world, I really did. But that feeling is well in the past now. Shortly after our wedding, I discovered George borrowed a suit so he could look half decent at our wedding. I thought George was a man of money and he would be able to provide for both of us. I never would have thought twelve years later I would be living in the same loft of our rusty old auto shop. Not only was it dirty, but it was also an embarrassment. My whole marriage with George could be described in just one word, a disappointment. I had such high hopes for us, we would live in a huge house on the lake with kids and maybe even a puppy, I love puppies. Our time together wa...
