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 wasn’t always draining but there were more let downs than happy times. George used to be optimistic and full of energy, but his business started to go down and he did too. Once our business was going down day by day, money started to become a huge problem for us. And that’s when I found Tom Buchanan. I knew we were destined for each other when I met him on the train and all I could think was “you can’t live forever”. This was my only opportunity to live my dream life so of course, I took advantage of it. Tom shortly became the light of my life, my hope, and my joy. I finally felt happy again when I met Tom, the more time I spent with him the harder it was to go back to my reality. I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I didn’t care it was the only thing that made me have hope. I deserved way more than what George was giving me. He didn’t even kiss me anymore, who doesn’t kiss their wife? All we ever did was fight and it was beyond draining. It was getting exhausting keeping a smile on my face, but I had to keep pushing through the pain.

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...

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 ...
