Well.. i have 2 friends.. names Erin and Arielle.. they've been best friends since about 3rd grade and this year, me and my best friend meg have gotten really close with them. We also have another friend who is not exactly as close. Well anyways Erin asked Arielle to go to the mall with her... but Arielle said she cant. then later she called back confessing that she lied and that she didnt want to go because she was with the other girl whos not as tite (Britt). THEN even later she called erin again saying she actually wasnt just hangin out with Britt they were goin out then stayin at Britt's house... this made Erin very upset because lately her and Arielle have been drifting apart... i feel her pain, but i dont know what to do. Erin thinks this is the end of their friendship... Arielle has Taken it 2 far now.. theyve been getting into ALOT of fites lately and this is just the bigger of the many. I dont want to lose Arielle as my friend, but i'm here for Erin and i feel her pain and i also think that it was pretty low of Arielle and Britt to do that. Are we overreacting or not? What should i do to save this friendship that they've had forever?

Soon you and your best friend and Erin will be tight and Arielle will finally realize her mistake and fell sorry. She might even try to be you friends again, but when and if that happens is up to you. Believe me, this has happened to me before.

Arielle should have brought Erin in the picture with Britt so they can all be best friends that go to the mall together. I think Arielle should be left alone with her new friend and start getting more involved with Erin. If Arielle wants to be rude, and not be respectful of Erin's feelings, who was suppose to be her best friend, then that is her big loss. I don't think you can save it by begging to be Erin's hanging out friend again, I think she should come crawling back when she starts to miss Erin. Besides, shes not worth it at the time now, she lied, and afterwards she never made it up to her by hanging out with her again. And now she fights with her like shes done nothing wrong. You're a much better friend to Erin than Arielle because you write this question like you care about her a lot, you feel her pain, and you've been there for her, so go for being her friend. Assure Erin that right now shes better off without someone whose done these things to her. Have you and Meg invite her to your frienship, it will make her feel better, invite her to the mall with you guys and let her in your life, she needs that right now.
