What I felt when Daisy said she loved Tom

       How I felt when Daisy said she loved Tom is a feeling I won’t forget. It was so hot that day and 

all of us were there sitting in that tiny hotel room. The heat was absolutely terrible.  Tom was all 

fired up and asking me questions about Daisy. This was all ridiculous. Daisy never loved Tom. I 

wanted to tell him how his wife has never loved him. I decided to and he got so mad and asked Daisy 

if this was true. Daisy was hysterical. She was bawling her eyes. I knew she would agree and say it’s 

all true, but then she answered. Her answer shocked me. It hurt so badly. It felt like someone just 

stabbed me. She said it was impossible for her to say that she had never loved Tom. She said she 

loved the both of us. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I felt betrayed and upset. I felt lied to. 

How could she ever love Tom? He was such a horrible person and she was such a lovely person. She 

does not fit to be seen in the presence of such a horrid man like Tom. I wanted to fight him. We were 

about to, but all of the sudden Daisy ran out of the room. I chased after her. I caught up to her and we 

talked. I told her how hurt I felt and how angry I was that I even ever let this happen. After 

everything I did for her and all the love I showed her, she loved Tom. Some man who didn’t deserve 

my love, Daisy. Tom was the problem in all of this. If he wasn’t so involved I knew Daisy and I 

could run away and get out of this town and live a great life together. Now I know that was all a 

dream. I was stupid in spending my years waiting for her. Throwing her these parties and hoping she 

would show up. When I finally found her again those were some of the greatest moments of my life. 

I was so happy when I was with her, but Tom. It will never work with Tom in the picture. I can only 

imagine us living the perfect life I wish to have with her.
