"So what? I can't dance on his grave? Can I at least throw confetti?"
- Hanna Marin

We were back in school the next day discussing what happened to Ian. There was a note next to him signed by Ian as well which Emily had a picture of. "Is this a suicide note or a confession?" Aria asks confused.

"It's both." Spencer says as I read through the note.

The note: I killed Alison. I lost my temper because she knew too much. But there's only so much you can bury. It won't be that easy, but I know how to get rid of the pain. I can't run from the law. Come and find me. - Ian

"Emily. How do you have this?" Aria asks confused. "I sent it to her. I took a picture of it with my phone before we called the cops." Hanna explains to her.

"It's weird. Why would Ian kill himself just when he's about to skip town with Melissa?" Emily asks confused. "Maybe he realized he was about to get caught. He couldn't hide forever, even with Wren and Melissa's help." Spencer whispers to us.

"He was probably desperate." Aria chimes in. "Or maybe this is a set up?" I suggest confused. "Honestly it doesn't sound like something Ian would do especially after how he acted recently."

"Look who cares why Ian did it. The important thing is, Ali's killer is dead and we are no longer people of interest." Hanna says reassuring us.

"Well then why am I not suddenly relieved and jumping for joy?" I ask confused. "If Ali's killer is dead shouldn't I feel some sort of relief?"

"I know how you feel. I'm not exactly feeling relieved right now either." Emily says as we look at each other. "Guys come on. For months, we've been about as welcome in this town as a cold sore, and plus, now people know that we've been telling the truth." Aria explains to us.

"And Ian is out of our lives for good." Aria adds on. "Yeah but 'A' isn't." I say annoyed. "Can we just please slay one dragon at a time?" Spencer asks as she looks between us.

I just sigh and roll my eyes as Spencer turns off the device. I raise an eyebrow at her and turn around to see Garrett walk over. "Hey." Spencer greets. "What are you doing here?"

"Just came to return some evidence from the field hockey office. Hey, um look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you guys were the ones who found him." Garrett says with an apologetic smile.

"Melissa's the one who found him." Spencer explains to him. "I'm sorry. Then again it could've been worse." Garrett says with a small smile.

"What do you mean worse?" Aria asks confused. "Bodies decay. He's been dead for at least a week." Garrett explains to us. "Give my best to your family." He says as he looks at Spencer.

I raise an eyebrow at him as he walks away. "A week?" I whisper yell at them. "No. That's impossible. He was texting Melissa." Hanna adds on. "No he wasn't. I'm betting it was 'A'." Emily chimes in.
