Hello! Now you've all probably forgot about my story because it has been so long since I've uploaded. I've been so busy and I just didn't update. I wrote this before the first promo came out. There are probably mistakes, but please read I would love to hear your thoughts. I have one more chapter in the works but I will post it in the next two to three weeks. So let's get to the story! :) Do not read this next sentence if you have not seen any of the promos.
This was my theory before we found out Mike is the one that punches Ezra.

Ella pulled up to the front of Spencer's house on this sunny morning in January. She decided it was time to tell Peter and Veronica that Spencer was "seeing" Ezra Fitz, Spencer's former English teacher. She knocked on the door of the Hastings manor and not soon after Peter answered the door.
"Ella, uh, what are you doing here?" He questioned, Ella and him didn't really have the same opinion on everything. They didn't necessarily hate each other, but there was certainly some tension present.
"Is Veronica home? There is something I think you two should know regarding Spencer." Ella voiced, Peter looked at Ella with confusion. Hadn't we already been through enough? Peter thought. He held his arm out to lead Ella into the foyer.
"Veronica! Can you come down here for a minute? Ella's here." He called up to his wife who was upstairs. Peter escorted Ella into the living room to wait for Veronica to come downstairs. They turned to look at Veronica who was now just coming down the stairs.
"Hey Ella, what's up?" She asked descending the stairs into the living room.
"I think you need to sit down for this one because you're not going to be happy after I tell you what's been going on with Spencer." Ella said and she looked at the couple. They were both looking at Ella inventively.
"Ezra Fitz, the girl's former English teacher, well, it's to my knowledge that he and Spencer may be involved." Ella professed she had been hiding this information for a little over a month and she finally mustered enough courage to sit the Hastings down and tell them.
"Involved? How?" Veronica asked her voice filled with concern and a hint of anger. Ella looked at Peter whose face couldn't show anymore anger. Ella fidgeted with her hands before continuing.
"Well a little over a month and a half ago I saw Spencer talking to Ezra in his car. The conversation defiantly seemed more intimate then just a student teacher relationship. There were also rumors around the school campus that Ezra was involved with a student. I asked Aria if there was anything going on between them and she said no, but she seemed very nervous when I asked her about it. It looked to me that she was trying to cover something up." She noted, Peter and Veronica both looked at each other. Veronica gasped and flung her hand over her mouth. Peter looked around; he fumbled trying to get the keys that were sitting on the coffee table beside him.
"Where the hell is this bastard now?" Peter yelled standing up, towering over Ella as she got up.
"Hollis College, I'll take you there." Ella said. Peter was heading out the door as was Veronica.
"I'll follow you there." Peter demanded as he swung the door to his BMW open. Ella nodded and got into her own car. She drove out of their driveway and the Hastings did the same.
The drive there took less than ten minutes and while Ella was driving, she called Byron to let him know what was happing. This wasn't how it was supposed to go down Ella thought during the drive. They were supposed to be calm and go to the police not go looking for revenge on the teacher. If it were her in the same situation, she thought, she would talk to Aria first, instead of taking it all out on Ezra.
Ella pulled up to the English wing of the campus, as did Peter and Veronica.
"Where too?" He asked Ella. She pointed towards his building.
"Room 326, third door on the left," Ella told him and he starting walking picking up the pace as he walked along. Veronica and Ella were not far behind.
"Mr. Fitz?" He yelled as he barged through the wooden door. Ezra was started as some strange man rushed through his office door. Ezra stood up realizing who it was.
"Can I help you with something Mr. Hastings?" Ezra asked, he had only seen him once but he knew exactly who he was. By the tone of his voice and his posture he knew he was very angry. Peter ran around towards Ezra and grabbed his shirt in his fists. Ezra gasped as Peter shoved him up against his desk.
"What are you doing with my daughter you perverted son of a bitch!" Peter screamed at the stunned Ezra. Veronica, Ella, and Byron were all standing in the door way of his office watching this all unravel.
"What are you talking about? I'm not doing anything with your daughter Mr. Hastings!" Ezra declared, Peter had his fists near his face ready to take a swing.
"Don't deny it Ezra! I know you've been using my daughter! Ella told me she's seen you two. I will have you thrown in jail for the rest of your miserable life!" Peter screamed and with that he shoved Ezra off the desk towards the ground.
"I'm not seeing your daughter! Please just hear me out!" Ezra pleaded as he got climbed his way to the couch, he looked towards Ella and Byron for anything but neither of them acknowledged him. Peter's face got redder and his fists unclenched and hung to his sides.
"You better have a reasonable explanation for me not beating the shit out of you right now." Peter hissed, he kept standing while Ezra sat on the couch. Ezra slowly stood up to match Peter's height.
"Mr. Hastings, there is absolutely nothing going on with Spencer and I. I can swear to you that much." Ezra declared he was shaking in his shoes; he had no idea what Peter was going to do next.
"Well then, why don't you tell me why she was in your car? Hum, or are you going to deny that too?" Peter said sarcastically to the still frightened Ezra.
"She was telling me that someone I care about very deeply about was in danger. She told me that I needed to step in or things would end up horribly for that person." Ezra said looking at Ella and Byron for a brief moment. Ezra couldn't help but be very vague, because even one slip of the tongue his whole world would crash down on him.
"I need you to be very clear with me Mr. Fitz or I will have to bring the authorities in." Peter glared sticking his index finger in his face.
"Did you or did you not have an intimate relationship with my daughter?" Peter asked stressing out every word.
"The relationship between Spencer and I has never been more than teacher and student." Ezra announced with a completely straight face.
"Good. Now that was easy wasn't it?" Peter said turning around and heading out the door.
"But," Ezra stated a bit too soon for Peters liking.
"But what?" Peter hissed looking back at the terrified teacher.
"I am in a relationship with a former student of mine." Ezra said. The truth was going to come out eventually and he decided now was the time to just say it.
"I'm in love with Aria." He breathed. He looked from Ella to Byron who stood frozen in their tracks. Peter looked at both of them.
"Why don't you worry about your own daughter before you start jumping to conclusions about mine?" Peter hissed two inches away from Ella's ear. Peter and Veronica both headed out the door towards their car, leaving Ella and Byron staring at Ezra. He stood there uncomfortable, he didn't know what to do expect wait for one of them to say something.
"I-" Ezra said, he decided to start the conversation, but was cut off by Byron's harsh words.
"Excuse me? Did I just hear you say you were in love with my daughter?" Byron yelled Ella still stood their unable to move.
"Byron, Ella, please let me explain and I think its best Aria was here with us." Ezra stated backing away from Byron who was now not even a foot away.
"You manipulative bastard, how could you do this! You were her teacher, we trusted you! What were you thinking? Hadn't Aria been through enough? And for Gods sakes! She's 16 Ezra!" Byron asked Ezra. Ella calmly walked over towards her husband and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Byron stop, we cannot jump to any conclusions like I did about Spencer. Didn't you hear him; he said he was in love with Aria. Maybe we should give him and Aria a chance to explain this whole situation." Ella said giving Ezra a sympathetic look. Ezra scratched the back of his neck, he was sore from being pushed around by Peter prior to this mess with Byron and Ella.
"Thank you Ella and please hear me when I say this. Aria is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I wouldn't change a thing. Being with her is a risk, but she is somebody I'm willing to take that risk for." Ezra spoke from his heart hoping to tug on Ella or Byron's heart string a bit. Just then the door swung open, Aria stood there with two coffees in her hands. Once she saw her parents and Ezra they immediately fell from her grasp.
"Mom, um, dad what, what are you doing here?" Aria asked looking at Ezra who just nodded his head.
"What are we doing here? What are you doing here Aria?" Byron turned to face his daughter. Aria stood dead in her tracks, she didn't know what to say or what to do. Ella looked at Aria also waiting for an answer.
"I-I…."
