Chapter 3 Alcohol

<%text {%>Over the next six months Scarlett began to drink more and more. Some would have called her an alcoholic. And maybe she was, but anyhow Scarlett began to drink all the time. Drinking was a way out for her, a way to numb her pain. And everytime she became sober her heart was so full of pain that she grabed the closest bottle of brandy and drank as much as she could. No one could reach Scarlett now. Not even Mammy who was brought to her house to try and help.

Scarlett looked horrible. But, she didn't know it. Scarlett barley looked in the mirror these days. But, when she finally did, she couldn't believe what she saw.

Scarlett had just awoken. And, as usual she ran down to the dining room for a brandy before her heart began to ache. She poured herself a glass and drank it as quickly as possible. And, then she stood there and looked in the mirror in front of her. Scarlett was amazed.

"That couldn't be me." She thought to herself "No, not Scarlett O'Hara." That's when Scarlett began to realise what she had become...and what she had to do. "I have to get away from here. But where shall I go? I won't think about that today. I'll think about that tommorrow."

Where will Scarlett go? Will she get Rhett back? Next Time on "Next Chapters"
