What I was feeling when I was in the hotel suite...

As I sat in the room, listening to the argument brewing, I was very uncomfortable and felt extremely awkward.  Listening to Gatsby tell Tom, that Daisy never loved him was just strange.  I did not think it was his place.  I believed that it should be a private conversation between Tom and Daisy.  But, like everything else, it is always a big deal between these people.  Nothing can ever be handled quietly.  And so I sat, and I listened.  I was worried about Daisy.  I knew she never wanted to hurt Tom or Gatsby.  But people cannot help how they feel.  So, although I thought Tom and Daisy's love was real, I was not so sure now.   It did not concern me.  It did not involve me.  I have no say in the situation.  I just want Daisy to be happy.  As her friend, I do believe she deserves that.  I do not care who it is with.  Everyone deserves to have a love that consumes them.  I believe that she has that with Gatsby.  I hope that she chooses Gatsby.  I do not like to see Tom cheat on her as though she is worthless.  But as I have already said, it is up to Daisy.  It is her decision and her decision only.  I continued to sit and listen, as the love triangle unfolded.  I wondered what would come of this.  Where would this go?  There is no way things could go back to normal now.  Not unless Tom or Gatsby was out of Daisy's life for good.  She would have to choose.
