Why I ended it with Jordan Baker

I first met Jordan in the beginning of the summer when I went over to the Buchanan's for the evening. I was immediately attracted to her lean body type and cool, confident manner. She was friendly and seemed like a fun person. However, at first, I couldn't get myself tangled up with her due to my prior connection with a girl back home. I am an honest man and cannot sacrifice my integrity for any girl. But, when the girl back home was out of the picture, Jordan and I started to become more friendly. I ran into her for the second time at my first party at Gatsby's estate. We hung out most of the night and I really was starting to picture myself with her. At some point that night, Gatsby pulled her into a room and they talked for a long time. This brought a sort of mysterious aspect to her, as I had no idea what they could have been talking about. Then, all of a sudden, I somehow got tangled up in exactly what they were discussing: Gatsby and Daisy. Jordan explained everything to me, and I respected her for that. She told me about Gatsby's plan to win back Daisy and how he wanted me to invite the two of them over for tea. Even though I was annoyed by the fact that I had to be the one to set up Daisy and Gatsby, I was okay with it because Jordan was the one that told me. After this, we only became closer and pretty much dated for a good portion of the summer. We often went into the city together, ate food, or just enjoyed each other's company. I never really knew if I loved her or not, but I just sorta went along with it. That was, until, Myrtle's passing. As I said in a previous post, this changed everything. The death of Myrtle and the way it all went down effected me emotionally, but it didn't even seem to touch Jordan. She was so insensitive to the whole situation and that did not sit well with me at all. It didn't end badly and it didn't end messily; it just sorta ended. Jordan has moved on to someone new, and I am okay with that.

  1. I am very glad and grateful that we were together for just that little time. I am sorry if I made it seem that you were just a part in a plan when I was talking to Gatsby about getting him together with Daisy. Also it is not that Myrtles death did not phase me, I was just trying to be a comfort to you. Things will phase everyone differently. Will always miss you.
