Gathering the broken pieces

Chapter 1 - The despair and passion

Scarlett was alone, locked in study room for hours, trying put her head in place. She thought of getting totally drunk, due to despair, but refrained herself, because she had to maintain the mind cold. She would feel much worse if Rhett Butler would find her completely drunk. Decided to go back to Tara after the funeral of Melly, and there would be forces in red earth to bring her husband back.

She couldn't accept that her marriage had come to an end, especially now, that her had discovered that she loved Rhett Butler,with all the forces of her being. But, he was determined and he left her alone, crying in sorrow and repentance. She wanted to climb the stairs and go up to the room from him, implore again by a new chance, only one chance to show him that in spite of everything, they could still be happy together, they could start all over again from scratch, but the pride prevented her. She would not to be humiliated once more, especially at that moment that was so fragile. If Rhett Butler come to despise her again during the night, she would go crazy.

Rhett Butler,was not willing to reconsider, he had taken a decision and Scarlett knew that he could be so stubborn about it, when he was determined. She asked herself several times, as not realized that loved him. Lamented to be so silly and so blind and has come to the sad and painful conclusion : that they could have been very happy.

For more difficult than would be the reconquest, she could not leave her great love escape, had to do him come back again anyway. Scarlett thought about trying to seduce him. She could put a sexy shirt and beat innocently on the door of his bedroom, only to inform him that she had decided to go to Tara, would twist that he lost control and took her to bed, as he did on the day of birthday's party of Ashley Wilkes.

But, as soon as she realized that this trick wouldn't work, because for several months after the death of Bonnie, she left the door to her room open with the intention that he would be looking for her, and he is not interested in doing so. Not demonstrated the least interest in her in his arms.

Rhett Butler,also could read Scarlett as a book, and would realize everything, even before she could open her mouth. Scarlett entered into despair again: he knew her very well, better than anyone, how could she play the seductive to him? He would laugh and despise her. At the end of the accounts, it would be much worse.

Scarlett was helpless and without ideas to act, was needed return to Tara urgently, only there, she could recover and when recovering from the forces, would go to the end of the world to bring Rhett Butler,back.

Hours later, when Scarlett had no more tears to cry, she left the study room, and went up the stairs toward her room. Arriving in the hallway on the second floor, looked toward the room of Rhett Butler,and began to tremble. Had a strong wish to go there and play herself in his arms, to give all the love, lust and passion that never had given during the six years of her marriage.

Stained to shame with her ideas. What her mother would say if she were alive and knew about this? Even though he was her husband, was not appropriate for a lady carry within herself: fleshly and lusty desires . No, she could not go there ... He wouldn't want receive her. To lure him into her web, Scarlett needed a tactic had to be smarter than him ...

Tactics of conquest and reconquest could take some time to be achieved, and she has not wanted him by just one night ... She wanted Rhett for the rest of her days. She went to her room and left the door half open, as she did from that Bonnie was buried. Undressed herself, would not want any of the maids would help her ... In addition to already have past midnight, Scarlett did not want to show her weakness in front of the servants. Her pride made her undress alone.

She took the black dress and lay on the bed, rolling from one side to the other, wanted to sleep for just a few hours. When sleep finally came, she delivered herself to it, sleeping deeply.

Theme song of Scarlett O'hara:

What Hurts The Most

Rascal Flatts

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days
Every now and again I pretend I'm okay but that's not what gets me

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart, that i left unspoken

What hurts the most, is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

What hurts the most, was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing, what could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do?
