Previously on What Could Go Wrong? :

Prologue:

All relationships have their complications, but Jack and Erin's... A bit more than complicated. They hate each other, but their families are best friends. They don't wish to be anywhere near each other, but their families think their perfect for each other. But they don't know the whole story. They don't know how Jack always pulled her pigtails and said she had cooties in Kindergarten. They don't know how Erin ran around telling people he still slept with a stuffed animal in first grade. They don't know how Jack spilled his milk over her head on picture day and ruined her favorite outfit in second grade. They don't know how Erin convinced everyone he wet his pants after 'accidentally' spilling her apple juice on his lap because of what he'd done to her hair. They don't know how Jack had pushed her into the pool when she hadn't known how to swim. They don't know how Erin tricked him into using poison oak as toilet paper on their camping trip. They don't know how many times they both ended up in detention in middle school for causing a disruption in class with their pranks and arguments. And the don't know that Erin came home crying the day that Jack let the whole school know that Erin's boyfriend had been cheating on her for the past three months of their relationship.
But what Erin didn't know is that Jack pulled all those pranks on her when they were younger because he thought it was funny when she got mad, and he liked that. She didn't know that he really hadn't meant to spill his milk on her head on picture day. She didn't know that he planned on getting detention just to be alone with her for extra time. And she didn't know that he'd called her boyfriend out on being a cheater in front of the whole school because he wanted that jerk to suffer for what he'd done to Erin.

Erin didn't know that Jack had loved her for years and would now do anything to get her.

So when their families get together for one of their frequent get togethers, anything could happen, right?

Chapter 1: You Caught Us!

Erin's POV:

I knew there was a scowl on my face the second I opened the door to my family's home to see Jack Brewer, a boy I absolutely despised, standing there with a big annoying grin on his face. His grin only widened when he saw me.

"Erin. It's been a while."

I rolled my eyes and didn't reply. He was obviously being sarcastic. We saw each other only yesterday at school, much as I wish we didn't have to.

"Erin!"

I quickly put on a false happy face as I heard Jack's mother approaching. She was a sweetheart, and she also happened to be my mother's best friend. It wasn't her fault she spawned a devil child.

"Aunt Victoria!" I grinned and hugged her tightly. I could see Jack rolling his eyes heavenward at the sight. I stuck my tongue out at him, however immature that may be.

"Oh honey you just get prettier every time I see you. I can't believe some handsome boy hasn't grabbed you up yet."

That made my smile falter as I hastily stepped away from my mother's friend. This was a constant between my parents and Jack's whenever we were together or talking about each other.

They all want Jack and I to get together. They think it'd be just perfect to actually be related. I think our mothers might have been planning this since they were kids, if we were born of the opposite sex like we were instead of being two girls or two boys. They'd have expected us to be best friends if that was the case.

But I detest the thought of being anywhere near Jack. I can't imagine being friends with him, never mind the absurd thought of him as my boyfriend.

After all he's done to me, I wouldn't care if I never saw Jack Andrew Brewer again as long as I live. I would never wish someone dead, even an ingrate like Jack, but I'd prefer not to see his face in my life.

Except I can't escape him. Our parents are best friends, for life apparently, and we have many classes together. Oh, and we go to the same church! I literally see him every day! No wonder people always either think we're dating, or believe we should.

I forced a smile as Jack's mom glanced down at me. His father walked in at that moment, and I was glad. He teased us too, but he was more quiet about it than Victoria or my parents were.

"My parents are in the kitchen," I told them. "Why don't you come on inside while I go check something upstairs."

I was halfway up the stairs and to my room before they'd managed to start walking to the kitchen. But I just don't care. There's just sometimes you have to escape the people you love long enough to catch your breath and prepare for a long evening.

I wasn't even half surprised when there was a quick knock on my door seconds before Jack strolled in, a smirk on his face. "Good. You're decent."

I glared at him. "Yet you didn't bother to ask. You just came in anyway. I thought I made it clear the last time you came over that my room was to be a Jack free zone."

"Oh you did," he said shrugging. "And I listened. But here lies the problem with that: I just don't care."

"Obviously." I sighed.

Jack just rolled his eyes like always, what else is new?

"Anyway, your parents sent me to come get you; they said that dinner is ready." He said.

"Ok, and you're still here… Why?" I ask him, obviously annoyed.

"Because my presence obviously annoys you and I'm bored, the fact that you're also angry about it is just a bonus." He said with a grin, making me roll my eyes.

"Whatever." I scoffing as I push past him and quickly make my way downstairs.

Everyone was already at the table and there were only two seats left for me and Jack, right next to each other… Great…

I sit down and put on the fake smile that I always do when I'm around Jack in front of his parents, just as I do; Jack sits down next to me, leading both my parents, and his, to think my fake smile was directed to Jack.

"Oh you guys are too cute together; you two make an adorable couple." My mom said with a grin.

And the teasing begins…

"Aunt Audrey, we're not dating." Jack says.

"So you say." Aunt Victoria says joining in on the teasing.

So we know, I thought bitterly. I hate these stupid family dinners for this very reason. And the fact that Jack's here. And our parents always make us sit together. It's awful.

And it wasn't much better at school. Unfortunately, Jack and I sort of hung around the same group of people. As in, I tolerate his weird friends: Jerry, Milton, and Eddie. And my best friend, Kim, was cool with the guys. They mostly hung out with us, in the beginning, because they thought we were hot chicks they could get (not to brag or anything), but we all found we had something in common. Karate. Unfortunately, Jack and I attend the same dojo and are on the same level. So we see each other Saturdays and after school.

And even with all that, our four friends, our annoying parents, and our very strange sensei all tease us, having the same absurd idea that Jack and I belong together. It was getting so annoying, I was tempted to say we were. Just to make them shut up.

That was an idea I pushed down immediately. It could only lead to trouble. And that was assuming Jack would go along with it, and I could pretend to stand him for more than five minutes at a time.

"So how's it going at the dojo?" William asked, probably just to be polite. He so rarely talked in these situations. He was a good man, if a little quiet at times. He and my father got along just fine when they both wanted the silence to watch mindless sports or whatever, only interrupted by raucous cheering if their team scored.

I dabbed my face with a napkin and swallowed quickly. "It's going great. I beat your loser son four out of five times when we sparred last week."

Everyone laughed and Jack glared at me before saying in a defensive tone, "I was taking it easy on her. Thought she could use a little break after that chick at school crushed her in a dance battle."

"That wasn't a dance battle, doofus." I rolled my eyes at his idiocy. "We were comparing routines for the upcoming competition."

"Well hers was better then," Jack muttered, just loud enough for his father to hear him and smack him upside the back of the head. I couldn't help but laugh.

"You two are the biggest flirts I've ever seen," my mom said grinning.

"Remembering when we met?" My dad laughed and grabbed my mom's hand.

Aunt Victoria laughed out loud. "I remember that. But these two are so much better than you were. These kids are way cuter."

"We aren't dating," Jack said flatly, almost angrily.

I couldn't speak. I was silently fuming. This is getting too much.

My phone buzzed. I glanced down to see that it was a text from Kim. It read: How's dinner with the boyfriend and the in laws? ;P

It couldn't be good that I was now seeing red.

"With her complexion, I think we should do a summer wedding."

My mom was really ticking me off.

"We aren't dating," Jack said again with such finality that it seemed to be effective.

"Okay, well honestly kids, you aren't normal. Erin, honey you need a boyfriend. And Jack-"

"Oh my gosh shut up!" I yelled suddenly, standing up.

They all looked at me in shock.

"Erin!" My parents were outraged.

"No!" I screamed. "Stop with the teasing. Stop telling us what we do and don't need. We don't need you telling us how to live our lives!"

"We just want you to be happy," Aunt Victoria said.

"And dating someone," my mom said stiffly.

"Oh my gosh!" I screamed. "That's it! You caught us! I can't take this anymore! Jack and I are dating!"

You could have heard a pin drop with the silence that followed.

We hope you guys like this chapter!

We love y'all!
