A/N: I'm baaaack! Okay, this is one of two new stories I've started. Check out my other new one "Matchmaker". That one is a bit less light-hearted than my others, since it involves a serial killer.

This one, "Red Handed": Jacob lives with the three Cullen guys, and invites his girlfriend Bella to move in with him. From the start, Edward doesn't approve of their relationship, though he doesn't really know why… AH. AU.

Also, I've started my own C2. It will eventually have a lot of non-cliched stories, but right now it only has two. So, recommend some so I can bulk it up. Examples of a non-cliché: when Bella falls, she actually hits the ground; Bella dances with Jasper or Emmett instead of Alice and Rosalie; there is no love at first sight for any of the girls or guys; etc. I'll read your recommendations and add the ones I like.

So, here we go with the first chapter.

Song for the chapter: "It's a Disaster" by Ok Go.

Chapter 1: It's a Disaster

EPOV

Okay guy, let's behave this time. Don't jump out just because my thumb slipped. Yes…. That's right….. Jasper should be just around this—

"Shit! Emmett!" I yelled and threw the first thing I grabbed at Emmett. It would be my half full popcorn bowl. "You stupid jerk! I almost beat him!" Emmett spoke around his laughter.

"Sorry, Ed, I had to! You looked so focused on moving your man just perfectly that I had to break you up," he said. He threw the popcorn bowl back at me, scattering even more kernels around the room. I ducked so it hit Jasper's mouth that was open in his own laughter.

"Dude, fuck off." I had been so close to getting the jump on Jasper this time. We'd been having a Resident Evil tournament in our apartment, and Jasper was in the lead so far. Emmett had been out the first day, and Jacob and I were tied for second.

Emmett had hit me smack on the back of the head just as I was about to catch up to Jasper and take out some of his zombies. He was, as usual, enjoying my humiliation too much. It really sucks to be the youngest brother, especially with my two prankster siblings.

There was a loud bang from the front door and I saw a flash of Jacob's head over the top of the stairs. His head disappeared as he walked down the stairs to his bedroom.

The four of us shared a split level four bedroom house. My brothers and I had the three rooms upstairs and Jacob Black had moved into the one downstairs about a year ago.

We three were in what we called the game room, which was a medium sized area at the top of the stairs on the top floor. It was where we had the TV with our XBox hooked up. Jasper's desk top was in there, too, rigged up to play all sorts of computer games. Jasper was our computer nerd.

"Whatever," I mumbled. "I'm still in it as long as Jacob loses to you and I beat him again. Restart it."

"No man, I want to play that new Ghostbusters game. All you guys do anymore is play that stupid tournament. I want to play," Emmett complained.

"Fine," Jasper and I said at the same time. Resident Evil was awesome, but the tournament had already taken us through the first three games and we were now on the fourth. At this rate, it would be a while before any of us had the enthusiasm to buy Resident Evil 5.

Lauren, my girlfriend, would be happy to know we'd expanded our gaming horizons. She was fed up with listening to the various sound effects of Resident Evil. Anytime she was over, there was guaranteed to be someone out in the game room playing it, probably trying to hear what went on behind my closed door.

My brothers needed girlfriends of their own.

A few minutes later we heard thunderous footsteps as Jacob came up the two flights of stairs to join us. He had the most intense look on his face as he grabbed a beer from the mini fridge and joined Jasper on the couch.

"What's up man?" Jasper asked him.

"I've just had something on my mind for a while," Jacob answered. He cracked open the can and grabbed some chips from the bowl on the couch. When he didn't say anything else, we turned back to watch Emmett slamming the buttons on the controller. He was the only one of us who'd played it before so we were just watching this time.

Jacob cleared his throat and we looked back at him.

"You guys know Bella, my girlfriend, right?" He asked, nervously.

"Duh," Emmett said. "She's over here all the time, right?"

"Uh, yeah," Jacob muttered. He went back to studying his beer can. I turned back to the TV and thought of Bella Swan.

Brown hair, brown eyes, heart shaped face. She was very intelligent from what I'd gathered. Our conversations were usually short since Jacob was usually dragging her downstairs to his bedroom. She always surprised me, though. Her voice was full of sarcasm and her comments were quick.

I'd never seen her on campus before she'd hooked up with Jacob, but now I saw her everywhere, though always from a distance.

She didn't seem to fit that well with the slower, duller Jacob. However, he seemed to care about her a lot, constantly keeping an eye out for her inevitable clumsy moment. My thoughts were interrupted when Jacob cleared his throat again.

"So, you guys like her?" He asked, a twinge of nervousness in his voice.

"Yeah," I said. "She's cool." Jasper and Emmett nodded their agreement.

"Well, I've been thinking about asking her to move in with me, I mean us. She'd live in my room and she cooks and cleans. She'd be no problem at all." We all stared at him. Even Emmett abandoned his game.

"You want to bring a chick in here?" Emmett asked. "To live?" Jacob nodded.

"I'm cool with it," Jasper said. "You said she cooks, right?" Jacob nodded again.

"And she'll live down there with you?" Emmett clarified.

"Yeah, if she's down with it. Her roommates are real bitches and she can't afford to live by herself. So I thought I'd ask you guys what you thought."

"I don't have a problem with it," Emmett said. Jacob turned to me, the last holdout.

My brothers had given their consent. I had no valid argument against it, but it didn't feel right to me. It wasn't any of my business, because I barely knew Bella. I finally shrugged my shoulders. Jacob took that as another yes, and smiled widely.

"Alright! I'll ask her tomorrow. God, I hope she says yes. I've barely seen her this past month." He chugged the last of his beer and joined Emmett on the floor.

What was my problem? Why did it bother me so much that a practical stranger was moving in with Jacob? He was a pretty good guy as far as I knew. He was the cleanest out of all of the guys who'd asked to move in with us.

But somehow Jacob Black just didn't seem to fit with Bella Swan.

A/N: One more thing: I'm beta for a cute story about Quil and Claire called "Patience" by Twilighter80. The chapters are not very long, so it's a pretty quick read, but it's a nice story. Go read it!
