Friendships changing - feel really down

I'll try and keep this short but I'm sorry if this turns into some long rambling thing.

Basically I've had the same friendship group for about the past 8 years. There are 5 of us, all girls, 2 of whom I'm been friends with since I was about 4. Those two are twins.

Since september when some of us went to uni and others didn't things have got quite bad, especially this weekend. 2 friends have had a particular fall out and it's like the groups been split down the middle. It's been going this way for a few years for various reasons but it really upsets me. It's been assumed that I'm on one side when really I love them all. The twins seem to assume I don't want to be friends with them anymore, but i don't want to lose them. i've been friends with them for most of my life. There are things about them that have really started to bug me but that doesn't mean i don't want to be friends!

I know friendships change over times and I don't mind that particularly. I've made new, good friends at uni and I know I may well drift apart from friends at home. But I don't want to lose them, especially in an argument which actually I have very little to do with! The part I did play I have apologised for. And please don't say go and make new friends and just forget about the ones at home. I've made new friends but the ones at home have known me for years. They know me inside out and have stuck by me through the good and the bad so it's not easy to let go.

I'm just feeling really down about this. Sorry for the ramble.

Aww hun, i know how you feel.. Try talking to them (alltogether preferably) or if need be individually. Explain you don't want to loose them and you want to sort it out.

Surely they don't want to fall out either? *hug*
