Chapter 1:
A tear
As I arrived I saw drunk people every where, some of them even seemed to have fainted. I noticed a gut who was looking at me, he just smiled. It wasn't like one of those smile guys give you because they want to sleep with you, but more a friendly smile. I looked around before I walked over to him, he seemed somehow surprised of that.
"Hello" He said as I joined him, the smile was still there. "Hello" I say and look over at a woman who falls down on the ground and the men surronding her is laughing. "Nick, Nick Carraway" He smiled as I look back at him, "what's your name?"
"Carmen, Carmen Keene" I say and take a glass of champenge, it taste bubbly and sweet.
"Excause me for asking, but have you ever seen this Gatsby?" I laughed at his question, he began to laugh a little too. But before I can answer a woman walks over to him. "Nicky" She says softly and hugs him, then she turns over to me. "Who is this?" She asks and looks at Nick.
"Jordan, this is Carmen, Carmen this is Jordan" Nick smiles as Jordan reaches out her hand, I shake it, but short. "I've just asked Carmen if she's seen Gatsby" Jordan looks at him as he says the name "Gatsby" She laughes. "I don't think anyone have ever seen him" she turns to me, "right?"
All I give her is a little smile, before a man who looks like a butler walks over to me.
"Mister Gatsby would like to see you Miss Keene" He whispers in my ear, but by the look of Jordans and Nick's faces I can tell they heard it. "Tell him I'll be right up" I whisper back.
I say bye to Nick and Jordan and walk up to Gatsby's room, as I was told.
I take a deep breath before I knock on the door and as I knock I can hear him say "Come in" I open the door and walk in, the room looks pretty empty, exept a man standing in the window.
"Look at them, getting too drunk to even drive home." He says gentle.
I close the door and walk further into the room. "Not everyone" My voice is soft as I say it and he turns around.
"It's been a long time since last time" He says and walks away from the window, walking towards me. "Almost too long" I say back, softly.
He smiles as he takes my hand. " I hope you haven't changed much" I miss hearing his voice, but it's now I realize how much.
"I sent letters" He whispers in my ear, I smile. "But I never reacheved one letter back" He takes some of my hair behind my ear. "I didn't have time" I say back and look at his eyes. They are clear blue, just as I remember them.
"You look beautiful tonight" I don't know how he manages to have such a gentle voice. "Thank you" There were so many things I wanted to say, yet so little came out.
I walked over to the window, from it I could see Nick. He stood there and said hi to almost everyone who walked past him. Gatsby joined me by the window, he put his arm around me and kissed my cheek. I really did miss this, almost too much. For a moment Nick looked up at us, I looked at him until Mr. Gatsby turned me around and kissed me.
I don't know what happened, but suddenly I pushed him away.
"I'm so sorry" I said, almost with tears in my eyes, before I ran out. I could hear him say my name, but for some reason I couldn't turn back, maybe because of the past.
I met Nick outside, he seemed confused. "What happened?" I could hear him ask, but I was only focused on getting out. And as I walked out I gave his beautiful house a last look before I leaved with tears in my eyes...
