A/N: So there is chapter 3. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it !
THREE
Today Ella Montgomery paid me a visit. She knocked on my office door at Hollis and entered with an apologetic smile. "Hi Ezra, how are you?"
"I'm… fine thank you. I don't want to sound rude but what are you doing here exactly? It's not like you and I have a nice and simple relationship."
"Well, you know what day it is today?" Ella asked trying not to look into my eyes
"How could I forget. Do you have a letter for me" I replied with a certain hint of hope in my voice.
"Yes. Ezra, I need to know, why did she felt, what happened that she needed so badly to leave town, her friends, her family but most of all you?"
"I can't tell you Ella, I'm not even sure myself but I think this is something you need to ask her in person"
Ella gave me the letter turned away and left without speaking another word.

Dear Ezra,
Two years, two entire years without earring your voice, without seeing a smile grow on your face locking your eyes into mine. Two years, and not a day has passed without asking myself if you are ok, if I made the right choice. But I guess that it's a bit to late to have regrets, isn't it.
I hope that when you go to bed every night and wake up every morning you have someone who loves you as much as I did (as I still do), someone that you consider your everything and that returns you all the love you might give her. I also hope that she knows that she is a lucky girl, that she must be as much amazing as you are and that I tell her thank you for bringing back the sparks in your eyes. I truly hope that all of this is true and that you are not alone trying to find me. If you are still trying to find me, please move on, find happiness and true love.
I know that it's been more than two years but I can't shake the growing and burning guilt out of my body. It's like a constant shadow, a constant weight on my shoulder. I can't take Shana's lifeless body out of my mind. It comes back every single times I close my eyes. I know that it has been two years but I'm going to go to the police and denounce myself.
I need to do this, for me, for Shana's family bug also for you. I'm hoping that the next time you'll see me or hear from me would be when they announced that I killed her so like that you will finally admit that I am not innocent, that I am a murderer that don't deserve you, that don't deserve you waiting your life waiting for me.
I won't pled shelf defense, I'll pled murder without premeditation with running and lying for two all years. Don't try to call friends in order to stop me because by the time they'll be here It's going to be too late. I love you Ezra and know that I'm not doing this out of craziness or depression. I am doing what I should have done two years ago and I don't, I won't regret it.
Know that I have loved you since our eyes met and I will love you until my last breath. I'm not sure if I'll be there to write you another letter next year so if this is the last one I am sorry for everything. Ezra Fitz you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I will forever be thankful to have had you in my life. You deserve the best that life has to offer.
I love you ... Always
Aria
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. She was going to turn herself to the police. And while I was reading this she probably already have done it. I was furious, angry and shocked. How could she do this to herself? Last year she told me she was doing better. I couldn't and didn't want to picture Aria in an orange suit. She wasn't a murderer, she wanted me to realize it but that's not who she is. She is a young woman scared to the bones that has been bullied all through her teenage year and when she came face to face with A-, she only did it as self defense to protect her friends and herself from dying.
I ran to my car towards Spencer's apartment. Once I reached my destination, I loudly bang on the door.
"Spencer, open up, I know you are here, please open the door it's about Aria, she is or she is doing the biggest mistake of her life as we speak. Please open the door I know you are here" I yelled through the door
"What's going on Ezra, what do you mean Aria is doing the biggest mistake of her life right now? " Spencer said with confusion while opening the door
"She is going to turn herself to the police for Shana's murder"
"What? Oh my god we need to call Emily and Hanna"
Ten minute later both Hanna and Emily arrived rushing to the door with both fear and sadness in their eyes. We were currently in Spencer's living room when she got a text from Toby telling her to turn on the TV news.
We turned the TV on and suddenly a flash came through the screen as the anchor spoke. "News flash, today a major information came to the police regarding Shana Fring's murder case. The police declared receiving a person this morning denouncing them self as the culprit in this murder case, Miss Aria Montgomery, already known to the police for the investigation in Alison Dilaurentis disappearance when she was a teenager."
Aria may have giving up on herself but I am going to do anything to make her a free woman again. I would do anything.
