Summary: One shot. Spencer's POV. Might not be about who you think.

I own nothing.

I can't believe her. She swore she'd love me no matter what. I guess everyone's an actor in L.A. I wish I could forget her. Her face, her smile, her eyes, things I once found all my warmth and comfort in, all becoming things I hate. And her voice, the way she says my name is enough to make me want to deafen myself, just so I would never have to hear it again. How could I have ever been so stupid? I should have seen this coming. I think that deep down, a part of me always knew she'd choose him; with his handsome face and dark brown hair. Maybe he was the right choice. Maybe I don't need her after all. I still cannot get around it. After everything that happened. Even when she's gone, she can still hurt me so much! They sent a postcard. It had a picture of a huge, beautiful beach on it, just like the one we went to together. How could she do that to me? I've been holding it for over an hour now, looking at the picture and finding myself growing more and more bitter as I do so. Still, I can't bring myself to look at what it says. I don't want to know what she wrote. How everything is going with him. I don't care about her brand new job. I don't care about her stupid life.

Maybe it's worth it though. In the end, maybe I will be better off without her. She was never there much anyway. At least I still have to people I love. Well, some of them. After prom, I lost a brother, which was probably supposed to be the most horrible thing to happen to me. Well, maybe the fact that Aiden told Ashley that he loved her took away from that. Poor guy, I cared more about her than I did about his death. And, although I wished I could kill Aiden, I really didn't want him to die too. Figures. Really, it's alright. I have Dad and Glen and Kyla. Chelsea and the baby. And I have Ashley. So what if Mom left? So what if she's somewhere on the beach with her boyfriend? I have everything I need right here. Let's see what this stupid thing says anyway:

Spencer,

I know you must be upset with me for leaving. I don't blame you. After Clay died I couldn't stay here, living the life I had before. I hope that in time, you can forgive me for all I've done to you, and that someday, we can have a relationship. You are always welcome here.

Love,

Mom

How lame. I cannot believe that she would use Clay's death as her cop out to run away with Ben! It's okay. I'll go see Ashley now. She always makes me feel better.
