It was night out and everyone was sitting around a huge bon fire while holding on to the items that would soon join the flames.

“Every materialistic thing that your former spouses gave you are now completely worthless. The first person to be throwing things into the fire will be, Spencer Carlin.” Debbie said.

Spencer stood up nervously with everything that used to mean the world to her.

“Before Spencer throws them into the fire she will tell us what it is and why it was important.”

“Um, this is the first love note Ashley ever wrote to me or to anyone for that matter. It was also my first love letter.” Spencer said with difficult, since there was a big lump forming in her throat.

“Now toss it in.” Debbie said softly while indicating the fire. Spencer took one last look at it and tossed it into the fire. She waited until it completely turn into ash before she continued.

“This is my copy of our wedding day.” Spencer held up the beautiful DVD and threw it in the fire like the letter.

“That was the best day of my life.” Spencer hastily wiped the tears that were flowing down her porcelain skin with the black sleeve of her jacket. Spencer took the last thing in her hand, and without looking at it, threw into the fire.

“That was the diamond bracelet she gave me at prom. It was the last thing I talked about with my brother Clay before he died.”

Spencer took one last look at the flames before she returned to her set.

Debbie smiled and said, “Very good, Spencer. Next is you J.D.”

Spencer looked the smile on Shar Jackson’s face and mentally prepared herself for what could be next.

“What was it about Ashley that really angered you the most?” Shar asked. Spencer took a deep breath and thought about it.

“How she always put everything before me.” Spencer stated. Shar nodded in an ‘I understand’ way and lead Spencer to a very familiar guitar case a few feet away.

“Ashley took and destroyed so much of you.” Shar said. “Now it’s payback.”

Spencer opened the case to see Ashley’s favorite guitar. With no hesitation she roughly grabbed it out and started to slam it into the cement. After she broke as much as she could that way she started to step on it.

“This is because your music was so much more important than me and your son!”
