I am going back and just editing and fixing things, so if you get an update and think its a new chapter in probably won't be. Sorry!
I decided I like the whole Song lyrics for titles thing so I am also changing that. SO again no new chapter at the moment. But one should be out soon, I'm currently writing it!

This is my first Gone With the Wind fic. I hope it's good, it's another story based on the fall, and what could have happened if Rhett had known Scarlett had called him. Please review.
Title is from 'When It All Falls Apart' by The Veronicas

p.s I am terrible at typing Mammy's accent and such so I will give it my best shot, but please excuse me if sometimes I switch to normal typing. Just use your imagination.

I Can't Turn To You When It All Falls Apart

The bloodcurdling scream of Scarlett O'Hara rang through Rhett's ears again and again. 'How could I have been so cruel?' He was sitting in his office, praying that he had not killed his wife.

Melly was unsure what to do; Scarlett was delirious, but she was sure she kept hearing her call Rhett's name.

"Mammy, can you hear what she's saying?" the old maid leaned forward,

"Rhett, I want Rhett." Scarlett mumbled,

"I think she's a callin' for Mista' Rhett Miz Melly."

"I thought so. I'll go get Captain Butler."

"Is that wise Miz Melly?"
"Why wouldn't it be?"

"Well, after what happened on the stairs, I thought tha' maybe he should stay away."

"Mammy, I don't ever want to hear you say something like that again. Despite the action of Captain Butler, he cares for Scarlett deeply as she does for him." She left the room hurrying down the stairs past the servant cleaning up the small puddle of blood from where Scarlett had fallen and into the dark office of Captain Butler.

"Captain Butler?" Melly peeked her head around the corner,

"Go away please Ms Melly, I don't need a fine woman like you looking upon a scoundrel like me,"

"Now, now captain butler. You're not a scoundrel, I know what happened was an accident, as does Scarlett." His eyes lit up and he almost jumped from his chair,

"She's awake!"

"No, but I can tell."

"You don't understand, what I...said."

"I do understand, I have been told. And although that is a dreadful thing to wish upon anyone, I know you didn't mean it. I'm sure you were just angry, you both where, we both know Scarlett, Captain Butler."

"She'll never forgive me, she'll hate me. Oh god, what have I done?"

"Hush, Captain Butler, you need to clean yourself up now. Scarlett's calling for you."

"What?" He stopped and his shoulders tensed,

"She's calling your name, your wife needs you Captain Butler. More than ever."

Rhett, until this moment, had never believed that Scarlett was so small. She was petite, yes, but lying in that bed alone, and sickly Scarlett looked tiny, helpless. He had done this to her; he had hurt her in such a way that her presence, which usually filled the room, became almost insignificant. The guilt waved over him again,

"Rhett." The small voice drifted over from the bed; Rhett stopped, So she had called for him. Slowly and silently Rhett drifted over to the chair beside the bed and sat down, "Rhett?" It called out again, and Rhett found himself tightly gripping the arms of the chair.

"I'm here." He whispered so softly that he wasn't sure she would be able to hear him, "I'm here."

Scarlett felt like her whole body was on fire; she was running through the fog, she couldn't see or hear anything or anyone, she couldn't even breathe the fog was so thick. Scarlett felt as though she was going to suffocate on the fog, she cried out as loud as she could, but it only came out in a whisper, but she kept trying, she kept calling out the only name she could. "RHETT!"

Rhett watched as Scarlett writhed in pain; his grip tightened, why had Melly invited him in here if he was only going to feel worse. 'This isn't about you, you selfish cad!' he could almost hear Scarlett hiss in his ear, 'I am the one who is in pain,' Rhett smiled, even when she was unconscious Scarlett still managed to say he was wrong.

"Rhett!" She hissed, taking a sharp intake of breath, instinctively Rhett reached out and clasped Scarlett's hand in his. He waited for scarlet to brush his hand away, but instead he felt the smallest pressure as she weakly clasped his back.

"Miss Hamilton, she will be all right won't she?"

"Scarlett is the strongest person I have ever known Captain Butler. She will be just fine." Melly left the room, hopeful that somehow her actions had caused a small part of the rift between the two begin to heal.

"I don't know if you can hear me Scarlett, but please, get better darling. Just please get better." Rhett kissed her hand softly and sat back in the chair, resolute that he would not leave until she had opened her eyes.

Okay! So chapter one! I'm sorry if it's a bit short, but this really serves as the introduction to the story.

Please please review, as that means I will be alot more motivated to continue. Hope you like it! Chapter 2 should be up soon!
