Hey guys so all of you who commented had really good ideas & im going to try to include more of them throughout the story so you can always go back to the last chapter and comment your ideas for the future.
The chapter idea I decided to use today is from @BasicKoury

2 months later
Third person pov
Mark and Jacob have both been getting closer even since the big fight a few months ago. Jacob finally feels like he can really trust Mark and tell him pretty much anything. Jacob still sometimes gets beat up, but not as bad as it used to be cause now people mostly know that if you mess with Jacob, Mark would most likely beat you up.

Now Mark still has not told Jacob about the date that happens to end next month, he long forgotten about the money and Blake seems to never bring it up anymore, which is totally fine with Mark. But what's not fine with him is that Jacob totally trust him, and the whole beginning of their friendship was pretty much lie.

Marks pov
I had no idea why but today when I woke up I had a urge to just run to Jacobs house and tell him the truth about everything, but I know if I did that then he might never talk to me again and we'll both lose friends and then people will start beating him up again.

With the thought at the back of my head I got out of bed to get ready for another day of school.

When it was time to leave and I was all ready I walked out the door and walked a few blocks to Jacob's house and waited for him, he good thing is that to get Jacob I don't have to go out of my way because his house is on the way to school

When he walked outside I gave him a quick hug and then we started walking to school making small conversation

When we arrived to school we went to our locker, we both decided to share a locker because I always wanted to make sure that he was safe, we were starting to walk to class when Blake grabbed my arm and said he had to talk to me

"Listen Mark we don't have to focus on the bet at all, it's all off but someone has to tell Jacob the truth"

" I know Blake, I want to tell him today but I just don't think I can I actually like him Blake, more as a friend and if I tell him he'll leave me bur if i don't tell him it could be worse and I just don't know what to do, Blake please please help me" I said, a few tears sliding down my face

"Of course I'll help, this is all my fault anyways, do you want me to tell him and tell him it was all my fault so maybe he won't be as mad at you and more towards me"

I nodded still crying a little and Blake patted my back, "I'll tell him the end of school so then he won't freak out with everyone around" I nodded and thanked Blake then started walking to the bathroom to clean my face

I realized that the water didn't help as much as I thought it would and my eyes still looked red and puffy, I shrugged and grabbed my books walking to the class that I have with Jacob.

When I got to class I still had 2 minutes before the bell rang and I sat down next to Jacob who was drawing in his book, "hi" I said

He jumped a little and turned to me, his face turned into worry when he saw my red puffy eyes, "mark, are you okay? Why were you crying?" Jacob asked turning his full attention towards me

"It's fine j. Just bad conversation with my mom that's all" I said lying to him

He nodded and smiled at me, I'm gonna miss his smile.

End of the day
Jacobs pov
Mark had to leave early for some unknown reason so that meant I had to walk alone

"Jacob wait" I heard Blake saw jogging towards me

"Hi" I said

"Hey, Jacob listen I have to tell you something and I swear and promise this is all my fault and I really feel horrible about it but you deserve the truth"

I gulped sort of scared of what he's gonna say to me

"Me and Mark a few months ago were doing stupid dares when I dared him to make someone like him before the end of this year, and I saw you and picked you. Mark really hesitated but I said if you saw no you have to pay me like five hundred dollars and Mark nodded even though he didn't want to do it at all but his family or his mom and him don't have that much money, Mark might seem like he's fine and his home life is great but if his mom misses one more bill from the house, the house might get taken away so Mark had to say yes to me,

"I sound like such a horrible person but what Mark did he never did it for the money, the first day he talked to you I swear he looked so happy and he even asked me a while ago if the bet could just end and me being the idiot I am
said he had to finish the bet, please Jacob don't blame Mark he doesn't want to hurt you, he's pretty much in love with you Jacob"

"I'm sorry" Blake finished and walked away, I sat down on the sidewalk and just cried and cried, but I still loved Mark I loved him more then I should

I sat on the sidewalk for about 2 hours until I decided to make my way to marks house
