DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight only original characters and storyline.
AN// Hey guys sorry for the delay! Like I said before I lost motivation for this story and found myself writing another one. However I did have this chapter already written but wasn't sure if I liked it or not!
But I decided to go with my original plans, hope you like. Next chapter may take a while as I have only half written it and it needs alot of work!! Anyway enough of me going on, enjoy!

"Ethan! What are you doing here?" I couldn't hide my surprise at seeing the person I had not seen in 50 years standing in my doorway!
Aro and Ethan walked past me and went into the living room where Jared looked as surprised as me and the Cullens looked at the newcomers with apprehension.
"Jared, son, it is so good to see you after so long" Aro made his way over to Jared arms outstretched. Jared took a step back "Dad, it was a mistake calling you, there is no need for you to be here and I would rather you left before we both do something we will later regret. Oh wait you don't regret anything! Even taking the second most precious thing to me away!" Jared looked over to Ethan who had yet to say anything.
"Ethan! How are you? You look well, I see he made you cut your hair!" Jared looked over at Ethan who I had only just noticed cut his hair very short and did not look like the same person I knew all those years ago.
"I am fine, I am well looked after and have just been promoted to chief of the guards!" Ethan said without his usual cheeky grin, he spoke without showing any emotion. He wasn't the same person I had known and loved all those years ago, it broke my heart. I couldn't take it anymore, he wouldn't even look at me!
"Ethan, please talk to me! I am sorry for what happened but you must realise, we love you, Aro doesn't care about you at all! He is just happy to have someone with your ability! Not you!" I pleaded with him but he didn't even turn his head towards me! I started dry sobbing into Jared's chest as he wrapped his arms around me. For the first time since he entered the house Ethan looked at me.
"You're sorry! Sorry! Because of you I lost the love of my life! Because of you I find it hard to get through the day without breaking down at least twice, fifty years! Fifty years since I have felt whole! And you stand there and say you are sorry!" With that he walked out the house and I collapsed to the floor sobbing, Jared bent down and tried to console me but it didn't work.
Aro looked over to me and Jared with a smug smile on his face and I wanted to run over to him and punch him as hard as I could for destroying the person I loved, making him into an emotionless droid but the pain inside of me was too much. Jared just glared at Aro.
"Just leave, you only ever bring pain wherever you go and I can't stand you, I hate to say we share DNA!" I had never heard Jared speak with such hate and I was glad he had used that tone.
"I think I will leave for now, son, you know where I am if you want me" Aro nodded at Carlisle and left. He acted as if Jared hadn't spoken and swept out the room.
The expressions on the Cullens ranged from shock to sadness to anger, I couldn't stop sobbing, it was just like 50 years ago when Ethan left the first time.
"Iz, come on, calm down, he doesn't mean it, he is hurting, he will come around eventually!"
Jared whispered softly into my ear and gradually I managed to stop myself and Jared carried me over to the sofa and put me down.
Carlisle stood to leave and the rest of the Cullens followed his lead, he had obviously decided they were intruding on something, for some reason this upset me again and the sobbing resumed.
"Don't leave! I can't take more people leaving me today! Just stay a bit longer, please!" I begged them to stay.
"Ok, Bella if that is what you want, would you feel better if you explained what just happened to us?" Carlisle's voice remained its usual calm which helped me regain some composure. I looked at Jared to check whether he minded them knowing the story. He looked over to the Cullen's and saw that 6 sets of eyes showed nothing but compassion whilst the seventh still showed anger and hate. However he nodded and addressed all of them when he said.
"That was Ethan, our son."
