What I was Thinking at the Hotel

First of all, I was not keen on going to anywhere with Tom, Gatsby, AND Daisy.  I didn't know what Tom was thinking about all the time Gatsby and Daisy had been spending together.  I have to drive with Tom and Jordan in Gatsby's car while Daisy and Gatsby are alone.  We had to stop at Wilson's to get gas and Tom is startled when he hears that the Wilsons want to go West.  I knew Wilson was on to Myrtle, but he didn't know Tom was Myrtle's secret man.  As we were leaving, I looked up and saw the miserable, longing face of Myrtle staring at Tom.  The group decided to get a suite at the Plaza Hotel and I knew this would be trouble.  Upon entering the room, I could feel the tension between Tom and Gatsby.  Then, Tom started questioning Gatsby about being from Oxford.  Tom knows.  He asked Gatsby why he was trying to steal Daisy from him.  This was weird, I did not want to watch what happened next.  Gatsby says Daisy never loved him, but Daisy admits she loved both Tom and Gatsby.  What was Gatsby doing? All of the sudden he was trying to steal Daisy away without even asking her. Then Tom criticizes Gatsby's bootlegging and tells Daisy to go home with Gatsby. Then, I remembered something... it was my thirtieth birthday! Oh I felt so old, and I wondered what my future would be like.  At the same time, my past would not disappear and I kept thinking about the West.  Anyhow, I started dreaming in the dark night....
