The Great Gatsby (Rose's Side of the Story)

Chapter 8

Daisy said to Jay "I don't want to go to Tom, I hate Tom, I love you and I don't want you killed either." Jay said to me "thanks Nick for bringing this note over, I'm sorry about your place." I didn't say a word. There was a knock at the door and there stood George and Tom. George said "Jay, hand over Daisy to Tom, or you will get shot again." Jay said "George, I don't want to hand over Daisy to Tom, I want to love her forever, and please don't shot me because the last time you tried to shot me I breathed and stood back up remember that."

Jay stood in the way of Daisy so Tom wouldn't get her. George said "Jay move aside or I will shoot you and that way Tom could get Daisy." Jay said "I am not moving I am protecting my wife." George said "Jay please move, I want to get to Daisy." Daisy was standing behind Jay who was talking to George. Jay turned around to make sure that Daisy was still behind him she was.

Tom tried to get to Jay but Jay wouldn't let him get to her, Jay was protecting her, Jay said "George and Tom, we have kids to take care of and if you shoot me I will not be able to see my kids grow up and I want to see my kids grow up we have 6 kids and I want to see all of my kids grow up.''

George and Tom didn't listen to him and George took out his gun and Daisy stood behind Jay who was still talking to George and Tom. Jay put his hands on his hips and Daisy was able to look though his arms to look at Tom, Tom was looking back at Daisy but Daisy had already looked away. Jay put down his hands on his hips and Daisy heard George say "If you don't hand over Daisy to Tom, you will get shot and then Tom will get Daisy and he will marry her." Jay said "I don't want to give up Daisy I love her and I don't want to be killed because of it, now I am asking you to get off my property and out of our lives."

George said "Jay I cannot do that, I cannot leave your property at all, I need to shoot you." So George pointed the gun at Jay and pulled the trigger and Jay fell to the floor, Tom rushed over to grab Daisy who didn't move, she just stood there looking at her dead husband on the floor. She began sobbing because her husband was dead, 15 minutes had passed and Jay started breathing again and he stood up again, Daisy stopped crying and hugged her husband George was standing there with a surprise look on his face, Jay said "Once again, George you cannot shoot me I am going to watch my kids grow up and there is nothing you can do to stop that from happening. Now get off my property I don't want to see you ever again."
