What I Was Feeling When Tom Broke My Nose...

Tom and I were having a lovely evening at one of Gatsby's lavish parties. I felt happy for once and was trying to enjoy a night with him. I looked around and could feel the energy from the entire room. Everyone was dancing and drinking, it was a terrific night.  I still felt tension between Tom and I, which I did not understand.  I suddenly gathered up some courage and knew it would be now or never. I felt a wave of nerves go through my body as I started to talk to Tom about Daisy. Before I knew it I was screaming her name towards Tom and I could feel the heads turn to stare at us. I did not care at that moment, I wanted Tom to know how upset I was regardless of how it would embarrass him. I was in the middle of a sentence when I felt a wave of pain hit me when I felt Tom's fist hit my nose. I was so upset in that moment that I looked at Tom in shock and had no idea what to say. I was bewildered that he could ever do such a thing, he was not the Tom that I knew anymore. I would never be Daisy.
