Great Gatsby

Mysteries

When I woke up, Nick was already prepared for the dinner with our cousin that night. I really didn't want to go but, I am expected to do this and i can't back out now.

TIME SKIP

When we arrived at Daisy's home, Tom greeted us at the door, just dismounting his stead.

"Ah, Nick. and...?" He said arrogantly.

"Nevaeh." I answered, slightly angered by his rude behaviour.

"Anyway! Nick! How's the righting coming along?" Tom asked

Nick tried to hide it, but I could see a flash of saddness at the mention of his writing. "Oh, I'm not writing anymore. I sell bonds now." He tried to say enthusiastically.

I walked away from the boys, ignoring Tom's obnoxious voice. Walking down a hall way, I entered the room Tom had said that Daisy was in. As I opened the doors, a bright flash of white caught my eyes, and almost blinded me. The windows & doors were open, the wind lowing the bleach white curtains around the room carelessly. It seemed as if the light was catching off the curtians, making the room right, giving it a heaven like appearance. Almost innocent like.

All of a sudden, my trance was broken by somebody slamming into me from behind. When I fell to the ground I heard something snap, and could feel a sharp shooting pain in my arm.

"Oh My God!!!!! Nevaeh, I am so sorry!" Nick apologizied continuously.

I sat up in pain, silent tears streaming down my face, "Nick it's ok." I said shakily.

Tom, Daisy, and a woman I didn't know, surrounded me to investigate my injury. Tom took my arm that was, what I am assuming, broken and I cried out at another sharp pain jolting up my arm.

"She needs to go see a doctor." Tom said as if it wasn't the most obvious thing in the world.

We waited for half an hour before a doctor came to check out my arm.

"It's broken..." he said flatly.

I finally lost right there "No shit! I could have told you that my self!"

The doctor ignored my outburst and turned to Tom. "Mr. Buchanan, she needs a cast on her arm to help it heal correctly"

Time Skip

Once I got a cast placed on my wrist, the lot of us went back to Tom and Daisy's house to have dinner. Although, it was already nine o'clock in the after noon.

As the conversation starts up, Nick and I look to each other as if to say, 'They are making us feel so uncivilized... can't they talk about farming or something.' As if they would know anything about hard labor.

Not to my suprise, after Nick told Daisy she was making us feel uncivilized, Tom spoke up about civilation going to peices. And something else about keeping the inferior race (blacks) in line. In that moment, I knew I hated Tom Buchanan more than any other person I had met.

I got out of my chair and started walking to the door.

"Where are you going" said the arrogant voice I was trying to escape.

I turned towards Tom and sneered, "I'm leaving to go home. Is that okay with you, Mr. Buchanan?"

Tom had an angered look in his eyes. I bet he was so used to having nobody question or tell him off. With that, I turned and left Nick behind with our flighty cousin, her scary freind, and her selfish, obnoxious husband.

Next Day (sorry about all the time skips.)

Today Tom took Nick out to town to get together with some people for a Yale thing? I dont know. But what I do know is that when Tom came over, he demanded to know why I wasn't going with them. While, at the same time, looking ovwer my body as if he was approving of something.

I hated people like Tom Buchanan. They only think about themselves and never care about what happens to other people. As a matter of fact, when Nick got home last night, he told me that Tom had some women in New York. It didn't suprise me, but I was still angry about what he was doing to my cousin.

With that thought, I went outside. It was a nice day and I decided I may as well go for a walk/run. I put on my clothing I use for exercising, and go off. As I'm running, I pass by Gatsby's mansion, and think that maybe I could bake something for him when I get back.

After my run, I decided to, in fact, make Gatsby some cupcakes. It took all of 2 hours to make and decorate them all. When they are ready I set off to his house. As I'm walking, I'm singing the song I am currently working on while also skipping and shaking my hips as I go along.

As I become closer to the bushes & gate seperating our properties, I see a man in the bush.

"Excuse me!" I yell over to the man. "Would it be possible if I could speak to Mr. Gatsby?"

As the man came into veiw, I gasped. He was beautiful. His blonde, almost golden hair, and deep, ocean blue eyes sang to me. It took a moment to realize he was speaking.

"It depends on who is asking for his appearance." He said with a dazzling smile that could have blinded somebody.

I shook off the feeling No Nevaeh! You dont need a man right now. Remember what happened with the last man you got involved with?!?! "I'm Nevaeh Carraway, My brother and I just moved in next door, and I was wondering if he would like a cupcake. Or a few." I said with a light chuckle.

He laughed as well and my heart swooned Stop it Nevaeh!!!! "I bet he would love to have a couple. I'll let him know you dropped by." he said in a friendly tone

I blushed profusely at the look he gave me. "T-Th-th-thank you!" I stuttered and he smirked at me.

He looked dirty as if he had been working outdoors in the dirt all day. He must have been the gardener.

Once again he looked at me questioningly. "I heard you singing, it wasn't anything I knew"

"Yeah." i said nervously, "I wrote it." I whispered while shuffling my feet.

I felt his finger gently under my chin and lifted my face to look into his eyes. "It was beautiful. Like a siren luring men into her trap." he said in a trance. Once he realized what he said, he snapped out of it and looked at me but not in the adoring way he had before. "It was amazing, don't you have a job with that?" He asked.

"No actually, I'm on a summer break until I go to New York University studying medical care. Singing was my dream when I was little, but my father told me to grow up and I did" I explained

"What are you studying to be at NYU?" he asked

"I want to be an oncologist." I stated proudly
(Just pretend oncology was a thing in the 1920's if it wasn't)

"Wow." He said amazed "Thats awesome. I hope you get to your goal because that is just amazing"

"Thankyou" I said blushing once again. I heard a car pull into the drive and realized it must be Nick and Tom. "I must go but maybe we could talk some other time?"

He looked at me a minute and finally spoke "That would be great!"

I started to walk away but quickly realized I did not know his name. "Can I please have your name so I know to whom I am speaking?"

"James" he said almost reluctantly. "My name is James."

"Well thank you James. And please make sure Mr. Gatsby receives those cupcakes, and take one for yourself."

"It was a pleasure to meet you Ms Carraway." he told me in his smooth, silky voice.

As I was walking home I heard him mutter
"What a women. Amazing... Just amazing"
