When Jay Gatsby heard the shrill of the porcelain phone and his butler reaching to take it Jay had never felt such excitement pound throughout him. A smile had alit his face, woken his eyes and settled upon his lips as he climbed onto the ladder. That phone call was all that mattered, Daisy is all that mattered and he could not convince himself otherwise.
Then a gunshot. A gunshot that made pierced right through his heart, making him twitch and grunt out. He raised his fingers to where he had been shot and looked bewildered as he noticed blood. This not could be the end, he couldn't die knowing Daisy had called him this very morning to reunite. The years he had waited to feel the touch of her skin, her glowing brown eyes and silk golden hair, but it had led to his blindness of love. He felt the crimson on his fingers, hot and he looked towards the green light, his breaths slowing, eyes not so fixated on his main golden girl anymore, but he liked to convince himself of many things, that he could achieve things greater than himself. . . that he could achieve money, a house, many things, such as to achieve Daisy.
"Daisy," her name was a whisper, a prayer of his lips, a golden secure lock reminding him and defining him of all those years he had spent making his way to where he was now. Love truly is blindness. He fell and submerged back into the water, the green light growing farther and farther, in a way it had scared him. . . it had scared him that it was growing further and further with every last moment he was dying.
Jay Gatsby convinced himself in those last moments as he sank into the water that Daisy had phoned to tell Jay she was his and no one elses, Jay tried to imagine in them quick moments that his Heaven was his imagination of his home, Daisy and their children and Nick dropping by when he did, he wanted to let himself be assured in Heaven he would have the life he always wanted, the Heaven he planned on having on earth that did not succeed. . .
The house, the money, children he could spoil, daughters he could cherish, sons he could love and a wife he could adore, spoil, love and a best friend he could talk to when he wanted about anything and that would appreciate and understand him. . . Out of everything Jay had planned for his Heaven on earth he achieved only one thing. . . A best friend. Yes. . . that is the life Jay had dreamed.
Love truly is blindness, Jay thought to himself.
