(A/N: Anyone in the Cullen family will have the C after. So say for Edward it'll be ECPov. For Emmett it will be EmCPov. EPov is Embry's. JaPov is Jared's. PPov is Paul's. SPov is Sam's. If I add Emily it will EmPov. QPov is Quil's.)

Dad said he needed to talk to me. I couldn't even focus on what I was doing. I felt numb and my chest was hurting like hell. I make my way down the stairs tripping on the last step. My dad catches me before I can hit the floor.
"Thanks," I mumble.
"Bells, you don't look so good," he says.
"I don't feel so hot. I think I'm gonna head to Billy's. I wanna check in with his friends and see if they know where he could be. Why he would've run off?" I say.
"Well, Billy said he got something in the mail that bothered him," he tells me.
"Do you mind if I join you?"
"No, kiddo I think seeing you would do Billy some good," he smiles.
A knock on the door makes me cringe. Knowing Jake isn't on the other side. My dad makes his way to the door and I get started on breakfast. I heard the one voice I didn't want to hear.
"Is Bella awake?"
"She is son, but she's not feeling too good. We're gonna be heading down to the reservation." My dad tells him.
"May I speak to her?"
My dad comes back into the kitchen shaking his head. He tells me Edward is here and would like talk to me. I put the burner on low before heading to the door.
"Edward, like my dad said I'm not feeling well. I don't want to get you sick," I say knowing my dad is listening.
"Love, are you sure you should go down to the reservation?" I know what he means.
"I'm not sure if you heard but my best friend is missing. I would like to see his father and make sure he doesn't need anything." I glare at him.
"Love, I think it's best you just stay home."
I shut the door in his face not too thrilled with him. I finish making breakfast and my phone won't stop buzzing. Soon the house phone starts ringing.
"Swan residence," I answer.
"Bella, I don't know what you're planning but your future disappeared. Edward is hunting but maybe you shouldn't be home when he gets back," Alice's high pitched voice says.
"Sure sure." I hang up and tell my dad that I'm ready to go.
He asks who was on the phone and I say Alice asking if I'd go shopping. He shakes his head and I wonder why he's been doing that.
CPov
I knew Alice called but I wasn't so sure it was about shopping. My message hasn't been answered from Jake so I think he's a little busy. Hopefully everything would be taken care of. Now phase two would be taken care of. When we get down to the reservation after Billy gave Bella the invitation I'd talk to him.
"You okay kiddo?" I look at her.
"No," she whispers.
"Is Edwin treating you badly?"
"Dad, do you have to do that?"
"What?" I ask pretending not to know what she's talking about.
"You know what I'm talking about. His name is Edward but you've known that."
"Bells, you know I don't like him so very doubtful I'll ever use his name. I still don't see why you think getting married is going to help."
"I love him dad and I will marry him. I need to find Jake first."
I hang my head down and shake my head. She's even said it herself. She doesn't want to get married without Jake being okay. I see her rub her chest and wonder if she's okay. I don't want to ask because it would make her angry.
"Bells," I say shaking her awake. "We're here."
I get out and head into the house. Billy comes out of the kitchen. He smiles but frowns when he sees that I'm alone. I point to the truck and as I do that we hear the door shut. The envelope is sitting on the table. Bella throws herself onto Billy's lap and starts crying. Billy looks up at me in shock because we weren't expecting her to do that.
"I'm so sorry Billy! I've tried calling him, but he's not answering." She cries into his shoulder.
"Bella, he got something in the mail yesterday. It was addressed from the Cullens."
Bella jumps off his lap and looks at him. He rolls over to the table and grabs the invitation. Handing it to Bella she looks back at me with a look that could kill. I'd hate be on the receiving end of her anger. Bella rips open the envelope and reads it. She takes it and runs out the door.
"What did it say?" I ask.
"I have no idea. Jake wouldn't tell me and I didn't want to read it," he says.
BPov
After I read the invitation I was beyond pissed. How dare they send an invitation after I asked them, him, not to. I swear to God that I will kill him. I pull out the cell phone and hit the last call I made.
"Love," he says.
"How could you! Why would you?" I yell.
"I'm not sure I understand love," he replies.
"You sent a damn invitation to Jake. After I told you not to! To make matters worse you think you can say who is and isn't in my life! I read the little note you left him and I'm not happy with you. I will be shutting and locking my window tonight," I say snapping the phone shut.
"You okay?" A voice says from behind me.
"Yeah," I say turning to face Embry.
"Didn't sound too happy," he laughs.
He was one of Jake's closest friends and seeing him made my chest hurt even worse. I make it look like I'm itching but in reality I was rubbing my chest.
EPov
I watch as Bella rubs her chest and I wonder what is going on. I ask her if she'd like to come to Emilys to hang out. She nods and asks if there was any sign from Jake. I shake my head although I know where he's at. I can't tell her where he's at and I know it'll kill her if she knew.
"Embry!" Quil yells.
"Quil, Bella's with me," I say laughing.
I move out of the way and Quil scoops her up for his famous bear hug. She laughs but it's not the laugh we've heard through Jake's memories. I ask if Sam is inside and he says he's patrolling. I nod and tell him to take Bella in the house.
(A/N: Sam's thoughsEmbry's thoughts)
Sam, I think we've got an issue.
What's going on?
Bella's at the house. When we were walking over she started rubbing her chest. Did Jake imprint on her?
I'm not sure. If he did he hasn't said anything about it to me.
I showed him what I was talking about and he shakes his huge head. He tells me to phase back and make sure Bella was okay.
