Blog Post #5:
It all happened so fast. Gatsby and I didn't even see her, and I didn't even want to look to see who it was. I just wanted to keep going, I didn't want to stop, I didn't want to think who it was that I just ran over, I just went fast, as fast as I possibly could go. I don't even remember if Gatsby was talking to me after the hit, my mind was running all over the place, I couldn't think straight, I couldn't even see straight. Now that I'm home, I need to collect my thoughts. So much happened. Tom is more than aware of my feelings for Gatsby, Gatsby isn't afraid to hide his feelings, but I just don't know. I love Gatsby but I care for Tom deeply. Although, when Tom insulted and screamed at Gatsby, there was apart of me that didn't recognize that man. Something is going to change. Gatsby told me, that he was going to take blame for what happened but that isn't fair. It'll ruin his life, his reputation, everything he worked so hard for. Also, it'll give Tom another reason to hate him, and justify his accusations about Gatsby being a criminal. I don't think I can let Gatsby do that for me. Gatsby always is so quick to protect me, he always defends me no matter what, no matter what I do or say he is there for me. That is why I don't think I can let him take the blame for this.
