It's just a dare. How bad can it be?

Jack's P.O.V.

Alex was in the nurses office at the moment with Rian, I waited outside like the nurse told me to. Rian was sent to the hospital with a broken nose & Alex was sent home & suspended from school for three days. Later that day after school, I needed to ask Brendon what got Alex so mad. Obviously he knew about it & it seemed like he'd be the only one to give me any answers right now. We also need to talk about what he confessed to me.

"Brendon!" I yelled, trying to catch up to him.

"Hey.." Brendon said as I caught up to him.

"You going home?" I asked.

"Well, yea..."

"Uh, you got some time to talk?" I asked. Brendon nodded & stopped walking.

"So....yesterday....you said..uh-"

"I'm in love with you." Brendon finished for me. I nodded.

"How long have you felt this way?" I asked.

"A while....I just wish you'd pick me over Alex. He's just been lying to you." Brendon spoke. I got that feeling in my stomach. I didn't like it but I knew I had to ask.

"...W-what got him s-so mad?....what do you all know that I don't?" I asked. My stomach turned as I waited for him to reply.

"He's been lying to you this whole time....he, he um....made a bet with Rian." Brendon spoke. I was confused but either way, my stomach felt worse.

"...Bet? What do you mean bet? What kind of bet?" I asked.

"They bet on you,Jack. Rian made a bet with Alex that first day you two met....if he dated you for a whole month & a half, he gets $100...." Brendon spoke. "He's only been with you this whole time for the money." I didn't believe him...Alex would never do that to me....I need to hear it from him.

"You're lying..." I managed to choke out.

"I wish I was..."

A tear managed to escape my eye before I turned around & started running towards Alex's house. I need to know this isn't true...that it's all just a lie, a dream.....I ran & ran as fast as I could to get to Alex's house. I finally stopped in front of his door, breathless & holding in all the tears that were threatening to spill out. Then I knocked on the door. Alex's mom answered.

"I-is Alex here?" I asked.

"Jack! Hey! He's upstairs, just a little stressed but go on up." She spoke. She let me inside & I walked upstairs to his room. I took in a deep breath before opening his door.

"Alex.....I-I need you to tell me it isn't true..." I spoke. Alex looked up from his pillow & then stood up coming towards me.

"What are you talking about, love?" Alex asked. He held my hand & I didn't dare pull away. I wanted to believe what Brendon told me wasn't true.

"Did you date me just for a bet?..." I asked. Alex's grip tightened on my hands as he answered.

"Where'd you hear that?..." Alex asked, swallowing hard.

"Brendon told me...now answer my question..."

"You don't believe tha-"

"Answer it!" I yelled in frustration. I let go of his hand, I was crying now. The snowball formed in my throat wouldn't go away.

"Jack I don't think I-"

"Tell me, Alex! Don't lie to me!" Alex stayed silent, tears running down his cheeks now.

"Y-yes...I'm sorry....I'm so sorry, Jack...It was a mistake.." Alex spoke. He was a crying mess at this point & frankly, I was too. I didn't know what to say. I was heartbroken for the first time & it felt worse than any pain I've ever felt in my life.

"Jack, say something...." Alex spoke. He stepped closer to me & cupped my face in his hands. We looked at each other crying. I kissed him on last time.

"I love you...m-more than you'll ever know...just promise me y-you won't e-ever talk to me ever again. Promise me you'll stay away from me. Just go on with your fucking life like we never met! Take your fucking money from Rian & laugh at how you lied to me about everything, lead me to think you actually loved me....just stay away from me." I spoke. I was crying more than I ever have before. I was irate, wretched, & hurt.

"No, Jack! Please! Don't do this, baby...don't do this. I'm fucking sorry! I love you, Jack! The feelings were & still are real!" Alex yelled. I tried ignoring him but he clung himself onto me & wouldn't let me go. He was crying into my chest & begging me not to leave. I don't think I was crying as much as him. His crying seemed like you could hear even from outside. It hurt so damn much, but I stayed strong. I pushed him off me & ran out the room, down the stairs, & out the front door.

I ran home & locked myself up in my room for the rest of the night, crying my eyes out. I didn't sleep, I didn't step out even when my mom came home asking for cigarettes. I knew Brendon said I would end up getting hurt...but I never thought this would happen.
