The Return of Gatsby

A Fateful Encounter

The longest day in summer and just like every year Rosely Gatsby is throwing a late evening to early morning party. I just moved in next door to the castle of a structure and got an invitation to the 6th annual summer bash. Not wanting the bitter taste of going alone I call my cousin Daniel Buchanan and ask him to be my plus one it took some time to convince him after all he does have a girlfriend. Those two matched as well as two ill fitting puzzle pieces she was calm always with a plan he was a fly by a whim with commitment problems.

An hour before the event i jump in the shower then wonder into my room with nothing but a towel around me as i sift through my closet to find the perfect dress. Holding a blue dress up in the mirror, crumbling it up i throw it to the side as me eyes catch something, a box that i haven't opened in years. Placing the dust covered box on my bed i pull the top off gently to see the top of a soft lilac dress with black lace around the waste.

Carfely picking up the dress like it'll just fall to ash if i didn't. holding the dress to me i glance in the mirror then giggle and do a little spin. Landing on the conclusion that it would be the one i will wear, sliping it over my head and facing it in place right as there was a knock at the door. Throwing the door open i was engulfed in a hug then spun around. After being set down i lightly punched daniels arm just like old times eh? I question him with a knowing smirk he makes a bitter face, i'm not the one who thought it best to leave the city to hike around europe with nothing but a backpack and anything you could put in it he retorts with a sour face. We then walk over to the couch so i can slip on my black heels and play with my hair a bit in the mirror before saying that we could leave to the gatsby estate.

Wondering into the cornavel of a party i think it strange that one of their family would invite one of mine to a party but the past may just have to stay there. Around the party i hear rumors say that rosely was the first cousin to hitler, second to asanbinlaten and third to the devil, as well as gone to harvard. only one thing is sure when a 19 year old gatsby apperd 6 years ago no one knew where she or her wealth came from, and only i have a scars idea do to a journal passed down through the years it belonged to daisy.

While in my head i ran into a female after apologizing to her she questions how i have been enjoying the party. i smile and jokingly rattle off the romers then say that i have yet to run into the esteemed gatsby. Smiling down at me from her place on the stairs i haven't been a good hostess then she states with a smile handing me a flute of champagne. Taken back be this slight revelation i put out my hand out my name is sara Buchanan i state with pride. her hand wrapped around mine in and gave it a stiff shack lovely to make your acquaintance madam.

After introductions she and i felt like we have been old friend reuniting it was strange but comforting.we talked about how we wanted to go military but wanted to wait till last minute to do so. A military officer cut into our conversation and grabbed my wrist let's dance he said not really looking for an answer. With a pleading glance at gatsby but she just gave a care free smiled so I looked around for Daniel.

Eyes falling on just as I got to the dance area and lost him when I was spun to face the soldier in dress uniform. nameplate says Wilkins and rank says captain. Glaring at the guy while waiting to be rescued I address him well sir how drunk are you? He spins me around I can't lie it was fun and when he pulled me back to him the answer was given I haven't had a thing of alcohol since arriving here.

Just about to sass him when Daniel pulled me behind him back off was the only thing he said as he pulled me through the crowd, this was our party defiance system. Once in a quiet room I see Gatsby and by the look on her face when she saw Daniel , happy almost crush like, then it's changed when she looked at our A jointed hands, jealousy. Blinking she brought back a smile as she looked at me I didn't know you were married Sara she states now just looking Daniel. Daniel and I break down laughing we're not married we're cousins I say between fights of laughter. The idea to question her on that look tomorrow came to me why don't we go to the rang tomorrow and lode lead into a target.
