Considering this, it is always best to speak the truth and never succumb to pressure or coercion.

I would state the following steps can help:

Talk to your mother at the earliest. Your mother will always look out for your interest and it is better she hears from you before your friend creates a mole hill out of nothing
If your mother disagrees with your choice, better break off any connection with your crush. Parents have experience in understanding and gauging situations
Break all contact with your blackmailing ‘friend’ at the earliest
Have a filter for friend selection in the future
Never share everything with someone who you know for a short duration

Hope this helps
