What I was feeling when... I knew Daisy couldn't go back

Gatsby had already spilled the beans.  Why he came out and just blatantly said that Daisy never loved Tom was what really surprised me.  Daisy knew what she had just gotten herself into and how angry Tom would be whether she answered or not.  She looked at me with a sort of appeal.  I was unsure exactly what it was.  In that moment I felt happy for her though; happy and sad.  She was about to get what she always longed for and had never stopped loving. I knew that she could break away from Tom because he had not been a welcoming husband for the past couple years.  I was sad for Daisy because there was no way she was getting out of this unscathed.  In the end she was going to crush one of them.  Not only would she crush one of them but she was about to crush part of herself with whatever decision she made and that right there crushed me.  Whether it be Tom or Jay, they both loved her, arguable one more than the other but one of them was about to have their lives changed.  Daisy never meant to hurt anyone; she just wanted to not be torn between two men.  Not only was I myself happy and sad for her, I was also afraid.  Afraid of Tom.  Tom showed aggression and he was never one to be too gentle with things.  If Daisy were to choose Jay in this very moment I can only wonder what he might do to either of them.  I wish I could do something and stop what could ensue. Even though I've never felt this towards Daisy because I've always been contempt with myself, but I also envied her in this very moment.  She knew what she wanted and was about to get it.  I cannot seem to find anyone and love them the way she loved or loved one of these two men right here.
