Grey Clouds    

It was a dark cold night, no stars in the sky. Everything was gloomy- covered by grey clouds. I was sitting with George outside the shop. We were arguing, and I didn't act right. My mind was only on Tom and no one else mattered to me. George knew something was wrong and the more I wanted to leave, the more George wouldn't let me and act even more loving towards me. He knew something was going on, any fool would know, and he didn't want to lose me, especially to Tom Buchanan. If only Tom didn't have Daisy, and I didn't have George, we could make everything so much easier, and run off together with no one else in the way.

Oh my goodness, there's Tom now. Driving his yellow car, who else would have a yellow car but him? He's so wild and adventurous, I love that about him. I really need to talk to him. Doesn't he see me here? Why is he driving so fast down this road, he would always stop for me.

"Tom, It's me, Stop the car!" Screamed Myrtle.

"Come back Myrtle, the car isn't stopping!" Yelled George.

Myrtle ran out into the middle of the road, the yellow car zooming by. Myrtle could see it wasn't Tom in the drivers seat and that the car wasn't going to stop, but it was too late.

"STOP!" yelled Myrtle

The car hit Myrtle in the road.

"NOOO! MYRTLE!!!!!" Screamed George as he ran out into the road, and the yellow car   kept going.
