Chapter 2: Feeling Sorry
Silence filled the room as Rhett and Ashley stood looking at me. Oh, what had I gotten myself into? Yes, I was happy with Rhett, but I still loved Ashley…or did I really love Rhett? Uh, I didn't know what to do. So many thoughts were in my head. Who the father of this child was, who I was really in love with.
"I'm away in London and this is what you do to me and to Bonnie." Rhett's cold voice came as the silence was no more. "I hope you're happy with your choice."
"Rhett I-I." I began but I couldn't get it out. My words were stuck in my throat. What had I done? Looking at him all of a sudden I felt so bad for what I had done. In all the years I had been married to Rhett this was the first time I had felt sorry for what I had done.
Not getting to finish my thought Rhett left the room. "Rhett," I said as I chased after him. While Ashley still stood in the other room holding a glass and looking into the fire.
"I think Mr. Wilkes and I think you have done enough here my pet," Rhett turned and faced me. This time his eyes were dark as night and cold as if it were the coldest of winters. "I thought you loved me, how wrong I was. You're just like Belle Watling. Who's the hypocrite now my pet,"
At hearing those words I knew that I had betrayed Rhett. But how could he compare me to that slut? It was quite obvious that I was much more of a lady then she had ever been. "How dare you, how dare you." I yell at him as I find my hand going up toward his face.
Taking my hand within his Rhett held my hands down to my side so I couldn't move them. Trying my hardest to free them I twisted and tugged as hard as I could. Sadly I couldn't get them free. Looking him in the eyes as I tried pleading with mine. Pushing me away he walked on talking to himself as the study doors closed.
"I've treated her with kindness, gave her whatever her heart desires, loved her from the moment I laid eyes on her! What does she do? Go's off with that Mr. Wilkes." Rhett said aloud as he downed a hard drink. "One of these days she will come home and I won't be here anymore." Sitting in a chair Rhett began to think of this. Could it really be Ashley's baby? Of course not, why would such a question cross his mind. It was his baby he could remember the night he got drunk perfectly.
Standing in the cold, dark, bleak hallway I still stood in the same spot. Looking on as if my heart had been torn from my chest, looking at where Rhett at once stood I signed sadly as my breath left my lungs. Hearing this Ashley came up behind me. Turning toward him I spoke. I could fill my voice break as I said this "You better leave. I don't want anything else to happen."
At the feel of his touch my heart jumped a little. Normally when he did this all I wanted was to be with him and now it made my heart ache and ice fill my heart. I was supposed to be happy with him, but for some odd reason I wasn't. Kissing my cheek Ashley turned to leave. Feeling the cold air go through the air my dress blew in the wind as the door was shut.
Moving ever so slowly I made my way down the long hall as I dragged my body, this was supposed to be such a happy time for me. Having Ashley was everything I had ever wanted and having his child would have made everything else just perfect. However, seeing Rhett come through the door and seeing my little girl just made things different. Normally I would have been so glad to have this moment happen. Not now, not ever. All I wanted to do now was run to Rhett and tell him how sorry I was and how happy I was to see him and tell him that the old Scarlett that was at the Barbeque was gone and that there was a new Scarlett. How could that be? Rhett would just think I was crazy or just making up some story. Gripping the frame of a nearby door I gasped that was it this wasn't a story I really did love Rhett with all my heart. It was just taking something like this to happen. Yes, yes that's what it was.
Thinking and thinking for quite a while Rhett knew he had to apologies to Scarlett for the way he was the night of Ashley's party. At least he owed her that and nothing more. It could be Ashley's baby and Scarlett could go away with him and…she would she would really do that and leave him and Bonnie. That would be something Scarlett would do. Runaway with a man she had fought to win for so many years and have his child and live happily. Getting to his feet Rhett made his way over to the door. Resting his hand on the doorknob he began to wonder if what he was getting ready to do was the right thing. Without thinking Rhett opened the door, but to his surprise Rhett saw me standing there with a glimmer of tears in my eyes.
"I'm so sorry." I say as I fight back the tears that are trying to run down my pale and pretty face. "I was so happy to see you standing in the doorway I really was, but when you saw what you saw I knew everything had changed." I held one hand in a small fist and holding it to my mouth as the tears began to spill from my green eyes. For a while Rhett stood there not saying a word as he looked at me as if he were taking it all in. Before I knew it my body began to shake from all the sobs. What happened next I didn't expect.
A/N: What will happen next? Hmm you will just have to wait and see:) As for asking people for idea's I like to hear what people have to say that is why I ask. As for not taking advice or whatever I do It just takes me a while to get around to lets saying fixing my other stories. We all have things we are not good at and spelling just happends to be mine.
