CHAPTER 1
Disclaimer: These characters are not mine, they belong to Margaret Mitchell. This is a story based on those characters.
Scarlett stood there in the hot sun, staring at the coffin. She couldn't believe it, Melly was gone. She tried to pretend not to be sad, even though she was. She didn't want others like Mrs. Meade and Mrs. Whiting to know this upset her, so she hid her face under a black umbrella, sheltering her from the blazing sun shining down in the early morning. She saw Ashley, he was there with India. Scarlett still hated India, but she didn't want to bother with India now. She looked over and saw Mammy holding Ella in her arms. Wade was standing next to her, leaning against Mammy's leg. She only wished Bonnie could be there. She was the only child Scarlett had truly loved. But now that Rhett was gone she had more time to spend with her children, and she was learning that as long as they were quiet or happy, they were not so bothersome to her. As the funeral ended, Scarlett headed toward the carriage, talking to no one. Mammy follwed behind her, holding Wade's hand and carrying Ella in her arms, who had fallen asleep in the heat of the sun. She was surprised that she hadn't' seen Rhett, she always knew that he was fond of Melanie. What Scarlett didn't know was that Rhett was at the funeral, just not where she could see him.
Scarlett got into the carriage, with Wade and Ella beside her. They headed back to Tara, the one place where Scarlett always got her strength. When she was at Tara, it always made her feel better. As they rode back to Tara, Scarlett thought of Rhett and how much she missed him. He always treated her well, but she could never stop thinking about Ashley. She desperately wanted Rhett to come back to her. She knew that if she went to him, he would never take her back. Would he believe that she had changed in this little time? Of course not. Rhett was not that gullable, unless he was drunk. Scarlett decided that she would forget about Rhett, at least for now. Maybe some time apart would help the situation; as long as she kept her mind off Ashley. She decided she would give Rhett some time to cool off. He came back often, but not to Tara.
She wished her mother was there with her. She always gave Scarlett the best advice on things. But her mother was gone, and Melly was gone. And she couldn't really talk to Mammy about it.
