What if Nick Carraway brought his sister to live with him in West Egg? How would Nevaeh Carraway affect The Great Gatsby? Will she sway Jay's opinion of her cousin, or will the ending occur the same?
(Mostly in Nevaeh's POV... May have some of Gatsby's)

Nevaeh's POV
I don't view myself as other girls. My hair was not cut just below my cheeks as most girls were. I liked my hair down to the bottom of my breasts so that it can blow in the wind. Unlike most of the whitish blonde or black color most girls had, I have a coppery color for my hair. I'm not that pretty. I have a chubby figure that most men will cringe at,(A/N: This is exaggerated. She has a problem about her figure because of her ex boyfriend)and I absolutely loathe the clothes that some girls wear. I can't stand dresses, I like to wear jeans and t-shirts although it is very difficult to find them... I'm a dancer, but not to those jazzy tunes most listen to. You, my reader could say I'm an alternative girl.
Here I am. I'm very excited that Nick invited me to live with him. You see my life got out of control. My boyfriend was abusing me and he was so close to raping me before the police broke into his apartment. I started to have nightmares, an my parents believed that I needed to get away. I just want to start anew.
As I walk up the drive, I see that the house could use some work. Maybe Nick will let me help clean the place up once I'm settled in. Feeling like I'm being watched, I look around and my eyes land on the house next door. There is a man in the window looking down at me. So I wave, and he waves back. I'll have to ask Nick about his neighbor later. I get to the door and knock three times.
The door opens and there stands my older brother by 6 years. "Oh my goodness! Nevaeh! I thought you were coming when your semester at NYU started!?!?!" He asked while giving me an enormous hug.
"Well, I wanted to spend time with you before I went to school. You know, I'll be busy with lots of stuff once I start." I replied. Then I asked, "How is my big bro? I haven't seen you in months! Enough about me, whats going on in your life?"
He let go of me and said "I've been good. Actually Daisy and he husband invited me over to their house for dinner tonight. You remember Daisy? She's our cousin. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you came along."
I thought about it and agreed to go to dinner. I don't know anyone around here and I don't like to be left alone after what happened. Daisy married some rich snob from what I gathered. They lived in a magnificent house across the bay in East Egg.
It was only 11 in the morning, so I unpacked my clothes and had a nap. Having a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach about what this dinner might lead to.
