A/N: Thanks again to all of those who have taken the time to favorite/alert my story. It means a lot to me. Sorry it has taken me so long to get this out. I've been busy. Once again, I ask that you stop by and take my poll. Thanks.

BPOV:

As soon as Sue opened the bowl, I was assaulted by the worst smell known to mankind. I briefly saw that it was Sue's pasta salad. Well I guess I won't be eating that anytime soon. I was on the verge of feeling like I was going to be sick. I was hoping that Sue didn't notice but I was wrong.

"Sweetie, you okay?" Sue asked me.

"I'm fine. I've just had a long couple of days and still getting used to being here. I'm gonna go shower before everyone gets here." I told her. I have to get out of here before I throw up all over the place.

"Alright, I'll let your uncle know" was her reply.

"Thanks Sue." I told her and with that I went to the bathroom as quickly as possible.

Once I was in the bathroom I turned on the water and undressed quickly. Now that I was out of the kitchen, I felt a little bit better but I'm not sure how I am going to manage it once it's time to eat. Hopefully I can make it through dinner without having the urge to throw up. I stepped into the shower and quickly made work of washing my hair and body. I didn't want to take too long and be rude while we had guests. I was still worried about Jacob's friends being in such close proximity to me. I got out and got ready to get dressed only to realize that, in my haste to escape the smell of Sue's pasta salad, I had forgotten to go and grab a fresh set of clothes first. Shit, what the hell am I going to do? What if someone sees me in nothing but this damn towel? It doesn't do much to cover my bump. I quickly made the decision to peek out the door and if it was clear I was going to make a mad dash to my room. I slowly cracked the door open to see that no one was around. Thank God. I quickly grabbed all my belongings and made a dash towards my room. Once inside I threw everything down and quickly changed into a new pair of jeans a shirt and my hoodie. I walked downstairs to hear the sounds of everyone. Once Jacob noticed me everyone turned to look at me. Is there something on my face?

"No." Harry said with a chuckle.

"Did I say that out loud?" I asked. Everyone shook their heads smiling.

"Alright, when is everyone else supposed to be here? I don't want the food to get too cold." I told them.

"They should be here in a few minutes; actually I think I hear them outside now." Jacob said. I took that as my cue to go make sure that everything in the kitchen was where it needed to be. Who are you kidding? You just wanted to avoid having to be too close to those huge guys from the other day.

Just as I walked into the kitchen I heard the front door open followed by several footsteps. You can do this. I made sure that my back was facing the door so I didn't have to actually see them when they walked in. A few seconds later I heard everyone enter the kitchen.

"Man this smells good. Can we eat now?" one of the guys asked.

"Seth, don't be rude." Sue said. I can't believe that I forgot about Seth. I didn't even notice he wasn't here earlier.

"Well now that everyone is here. Let's eat." Uncle Billy said. I turned around and went to push Uncle Billy to his open spot. He turned and smiled up at me. I kept my eyes on anything other than the guys I saw the other day. "Thanks Bells" he said.

"No problem." I replied while taking my seat next to Uncle Billy and on the other side of Sue. Once everyone was seated we all started making our plates.

JPOV:

As soon as the guys came in, we all made our way to the kitchen so we could eat. Good thing because I am starving.

Once we were in the kitchen, I noticed that Bells had her back to us and then I took in the amount of food that was set on the table. There almost wasn't enough room for all the dishes.

"Man this smells good. Can we eat now?" Seth asked.

"Seth, don't be rude." Sue said.

"Well now that everyone is here. Let's eat." dad said. Finally. Bells grabbed dad's chair and pushed him over to his spot, all the while she kept her eyes anywhere other than on all the guys. Dad thanked her and then everyone got seated and started making their plates.

Bells, once again had almost as much as food as us guys did. All the guys looked at me as if to say what the hell? I just shrugged my shoulders at them. Once everyone's plates were full we all started eating.

"Mmm, this is really good Bella." said Harry. "It never tastes this good when I make it." She had a small smile playing at the corner of her lips.

"Thanks. I added a little something to it." was her reply.

"What?" said Harry.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that with all these extra ears around. They might tell everyone my secret." She stage whispered to him. Everyone was laughing at their antics.

"Later." Harry replied with a wink. She nodded her head.

After that, everyone continued to eat. I think they were all surprised by how much Bells could eat. After a few minutes Sue seemed to realize that something was missing.

"Oh, I almost forgot. I made pasta salad. It must be in the fridge still." she replied while getting up to retrieve it from the fridge. She returned with a big bowl. She made room for it on the table and went back to eating her food.

I noticed that Bells kept her eyes mostly on the table. When someone would talk she would turn her body towards them but refused to make eye contact, unless it was dad, Sue or Harry and even then it wasn't a guarantee. There she goes being weird again.

"Well, I'm stuffed." replied Bells while gathering her dishes and taking them to the sink. She started to wash her dishes as well as the ones from all the cooking. All of the guys had finished their first plate of food and were starting to make their second. I decided to try some of Sue's pasta salad. I opened up the bowl and place a big spoonful on my plate. Just then Bells came over to grab her cup and the next thing I know she's running from the kitchen and then I hear a door slam. Okay. What just happened? The guys were all looking at me with the same look?

"Maybe I should go check on her?" Sue said while getting up from the table and walking out of the kitchen. Just then Harry was looking between dad and then me before he finally spoke.

"Ok, what the hell is going on?" he spoke to dad and me.

"We don't really know Harry." dad told him with a sigh.

"What do you mean?" Harry said.

"I mean just that. She showed up here without calling or letting us know. Then when she did some of the guys were here and she was avoiding them at all costs. She refuses to even look at them but I'm sure you noticed that while you've been here." Harry nodded his head to let us know that he did notice. "The guys think that something happened to her and that it had to have involved another guy for the way she's been reacting but she hasn't said anything to us yet. We decided it's probably best to just let her come to us when she is ready." dad told him.

"Well, maybe Sue will be able to get through to her." Harry said hopefully.

"I hope your right. I can't stand seeing her like this." dad replied sadly.

"Has she told you anything since she has gotten here?" Harry asked. Dad nodded his head.

"Apparently she graduated last June." dad told him.

"Wow, she was only sixteen though." Harry said. At this all the guys' mouths were hanging open in shock. She always has been ahead of the game.

"Yeah. She's always taking extra classes during the summer and taking as many classes as the school would let her." dad replied.

That was the end of the conversation between us guys. It was then that I noticed the sound of what I assumed was puking. Poor Bells. I hope she is okay. I could tell the other guys could hear it too but they didn't say anything.

SPOV (Sue):

As soon as Bella ran from the kitchen I decided I should probably go check on her. So I made that known to everyone else. "Maybe I should go check on her?" I said while getting up from the table and walking out of the kitchen.

I made my way upstairs and could hear Bella in the bathroom throwing up. Poor thing. I hope she is okay. I knocked on the door. "Bella are you okay sweetie? Can I come in?" I asked her. I waited a few moments and then the door popped open. I walked in to see Bella kneeling in front of the toilet with her head resting on her forearms.

"You okay?" I asked her. She nodded her head slowly.

"Yeah. I'm alright. I just haven't been feeling myself since I got here. I think it may be all the travelling from the last few days catching up with me." she replied. She stayed by the toilet a few more minutes before she finally got up and went to the sink to brush her teeth.

"Maybe you should see a doctor. I can call for you if you want." I told her.

"I'll call tomorrow and get myself an appointment. I'm sure it's probably nothing." was her reply. I nodded my head letting her know I heard what she said.

"Good. I know that Billy and Jake have been worried about you." I told her.

"Thanks Sue. For coming to see if I was alright. It means a lot to me." she said. Is she crying?

"It's no problem sweetie. You know that I love you like you are my own." I said. It's true. I've always loved having her around. "Now, how about we get back downstairs before they send out a search party." She gave me a small smile and a nod and we turned to head out of the bathroom. Before we left I wanted to tell her something. "Bella?"

She turned around and looked at me. "Yeah?" she said.

"I'm here if you ever need to talk. About anything. Okay?" I told her. I just feel like she needs to know that.

"Thanks. I'll be sure to let you know." she replied.

Once we walked into the kitchen everyone turned to look at us. It was Billy who broke the silence. "You ok Bells?" Billy asked. She nodded her head.

"Yeah, I'm alright." she said to Billy while looking at the floor.

"Are you sure? You haven't really been yourself lately." said Billy.

"Yeah, like I told Sue. I think it's just from all the travelling I've done the last few days, but just so you guys feel better I promised Sue I would call and make myself a doctor's appointment tomorrow." she told him.

"Good. I just want to see you feeling better." He told her.

"Thanks. Well I think I'm just gonna go grab a quick shower and then head to bed. Do you need me to clean up in here first?" she asked.

"No, you go on ahead. I think we can handle this. Right guys?" I asked while raising an eyebrow at them. "Goodnight Bella. I hope you feel better."

"Thanks. Goodnight everyone." she said as she was leaving the kitchen. Once she was out of sight I turned to everyone who was in the kitchen. "What's going on?" I asked looking at no one in particular.

"That seems to be the million dollar question dear." replied my loving husband.

"What do you mean?" I asked, even though I'm sure I don't want to know the answer.

"It seems she had a very strong reaction to the guys the other day when she showed up here. Sam said she was terrified of them and that she refused to look any of them in the eye. She still hasn't looked at any of them. The guys have come to the conclusion that whatever has happened to her that it has to do with another male and I have to agree with them on it." he replied sadly. It does make sense.

"Well what do we do?" I asked.

"Billy thinks it best if we just let her come to us on her own time and not push her. I have to agree. She will come to us when she's ready." Harry said.

"What if she's never ready? I don't want to see her like this." I told them.

"We'll just have to hope that she will come to us. All we can do for now is being there for her when she's ready. As for you guys, I suggest that you just continue to give her her space. It will probably make her more comfortable." Billy said. All of the guys nodded.

"Alright, well we better head home. It's getting late." I said looking at Harry and the kids. They nodded their heads at me. I hugged Billy goodbye and said it to everyone else. I received a chorus of "Goodnight Sue's". We walked out to our car and drove home. All the while I couldn't stop thinking about what I just learned. It was a hard pill to swallow but I was going to do everything in my power to help Bella. I loved her too much to not try.

"Did you know that Bella graduated already?" Harry said breaking me from my thoughts.

"What? When? She's only seventeen." I replied shocked. I knew she was smart but Wow.

"Actually she was sixteen when she graduated." Seth replied from the back seat.

"Billy said she did last June. I guess she's been taking extra classes during the summer and taking as many as the school would let her during the regular year." Harry answered me.

That was the end of conversation and the remainder of the ride home was silent, allowing me once again to go through everything that I heard tonight.
