What I was thinking after the accident

     I’ll remember the day of the accident for as long as I live. The accident was so terrible and so 
unexpected that Daisy didn’t even have time to think and swerve out of the way. Although who 
knows if she even really wanted to. She was so emotional and so upset from the conversation earlier 
that took place between Tom, her and I. When she hit Myrtle she was a mess. I told her to keep 
driving and we would switch seats. We did switch and I drove back to her house and dropped her 
off. I was so worried about how Tom would react to his mistress just being killed by his wife. I told 
Daisy I was going to wait outside the house until I knew everything would be okay with Tom. I don’t 
trust him one bit. I waited outside and when Nick spotted me I told him everything that happened. I 
knew he wouldn’t say anything. I trust Nick with my life and I knew he would never hurt Daisy. I 
told him how Daisy was driving and how awful it was. It was raining so terribly, but I couldn’t leave 
the yard of that house. I just kept thinking about her and wondering what was going through her 
mind right now. She must be so upset. I wonder what Tom is doing.  I wish I could be by her side, 
holding her and be with me instead of Tom. I would protect her at no cost. It Tom ever laid his filthy 
hands on Daisy I would take care of him right then and there. I saw Daisy approach the window. 
Thank god. She looked safe. She looked sad, but safe. I hope she saw me standing there and realized 
I would always be there. I hope me standing there made her feel more safe.
