Jay Gatsby

(This takes place in the 1920’s.) Jay Gatsby. People said he was the richest man on Earth. Probably even richer than God. You’d heard of the name before, recognized it, but you weren’t sure if it was really him. The man you had been in love with 5 years ago but then disappeared after the war, leaving you to think he was dead. Back then, Jay was also poor but you still loved him but society wouldn’t have allowed you, a rich girl, to be with a broke boy like him. The five years he was gone you were married off to someone else who was born into a very wealthy family, a man named Tom. But it wasn’t long before Tom started to act distant. Coming home late, always seeming like his mind was on something else. And you weren’t a fool, you knew he was cheating but you were afraid of what you’d lose if you left him. So, you and Tom lived quietly in a big mansion with a beautiful view of the ocean, not knowing the person who lived right across the ocean from you. Meanwhile during those five years, back when the war was going on that Gatsby fought in, he did exceptionally well, so well that afterwards he was trying his hardest to come back home to you but instead got sent to Oxford to study. While stuck there in England that’s when you married Tom and moved away while he spent years until now trying to find you. He worked his way up, becoming who people know now as the very rich mysterious man, bought a castle and hosted parties everyday hoping you’d wonder in and he’d finally get you back. He did it all for you. Everything he did was for you.
