How long has it been since I've updated? It's been quite long , hasn't it? Well, I'm back and I'm here for an update! Yay!
Katherine's POV
It was quite obvious that Gatsby and Daisy were having an affair. I mean I was living in the same house as he was so their passionate love making wasn't exactly the quietest.
It was quite difficult to sleep though…
Even when it was quiet because I felt like I was intruding. It felt like it wasn't my house anymore and that I had trespassed. I sighed as I laid in my large bed, the covers off my body as I stared at the high ceiling. I honestly couldn't get to sleep and it was quite sad because when I couldn't drift off, I would wonder into Jay's room and just curled up beside him. He doesn't mind as he usually hugged me back when we slept. But now we can't because she's there.
I also think that Daisy hates me.
She hasn't been mean to me directly but….I can feel that she just doesn't. She never talks to me when Jay's out of the room, she gives me a dirty look every time I call Gatsby Jay and to be honest, I think she just hates me.
I groan into my pillow as I hid my face in it and just closed my eyes.
I wish Nick was here, I really do.
And the servants have been sent home by Jay, only to arrive early in the morning…even the overnight ones.
After attempting sleep for two more times, I grew tired of trying to sleep and stood up. My feet touched the cold tile floor, ignoring my slippers and my robe as I made my out of my room in my purple cotton night grown. I walked down the hallway, looking out of the large windows, the moon my only source of light. Slowly I pass Jay's bedroom and stand in front of it for a while. I look at it with almost a painful expression, my eyes looking at the door handle. It was always in my grasp but now it felt like I had no power over it at all.
I gave a deep sigh as I moved away from the big door and continued my way down the hall, reaching the grand staircase. I walked down it slowly, one step at a step, feeling the cold marble on my bare feet.
Once I reached the bottom of the stairs, I immediately turned to the door on my far left and walked towards it, knowing what was inside. Opening it, I smiled as the room came into view. The walls were painted a lilac colour and lights in the shape of shells decorated the corner of the room. A small chandelier made of diamonds hung above me and two sets of beige couches were placed across each other with a small coffee table between them.
But that's not what caught my eye.
In the middle of the room was a sleek black classic piano, the same piano I had used to learn this beautiful instrument. Closing the door behind me, I walked hurriedly over to the piano and took a seat on the comfy piano stool. I felt the cool piano keys with a smile as I played a couple of notes, getting used to it first behind I began a piece that came to mind.
(She's playing the song Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Ray, the piano version)
I let my feelings fall into my playing; not caring if the loud noise woke up Gatsby and Daisy because it was true…
I wondered if he actually still loved me and I couldn't help but let my tears fall from my eyes. They were silent…no sobs as my fingers gilded across the piano keys, making a lovely tune.
Suddenly I heard the closing of a door and my hands quickly left the keys, my breath hitching. Light footsteps went downstairs, my ears straining to hear the sound.
I stayed silent for a few more minutes before releasing a breath I didn't even know I was holding. Slowly, I returned to the piano, now playing the piece more bravely, not caring of Jay or Daisy got woken up by it.
The tears continued to glide down my face, my sobs trying to escape but I wouldn't let them. But it seemed the more I was playing the sad piece, the more the emotions in me bubbled until my fingers crashed down on the piano, making an unpleasant sound.
I honestly couldn't take it anymore….
I miss my Jay…
"But I have to hold on…to make him happy…" I whispered sadly to myself but silently crying next to the grand piano.
Not aware someone was watching me and crying too.
Young and Beautiful is going to be quite a good song for this story so this isn't the only time it's going to be used. And Hey, I updated!
