Best Friends, What they're suppose to do. Options

Alright, so I used to hangout with a big group of people. I got in a fight with one of the girls a month ago or so, let's call her Ego. Then I noticed that another friend wasn't talking to me (also a girl) Silent. These two girls were my closest friends, other than my best friend. I didn't know why Silent stopped talking to me for a while, but I tried so hard to fix things with her. In the end, she gave me an attitude so I dropped it. I moved on with my life and left them alone. By the way, this whole time, my best friend was caught in the middle since she was close friends with them too. Let's call her BF.

Well today, I was cruising around MySpace and found this comment Ego sent her friend. It talked about how I'm such a bitch. She said I talked shit about her, cheer, and her boy friend. But really, all I said was: "All you talk about now is cheer and Bob." His name is not really Bob. Anyway, she started calling me ugly and an attention seeker. Oh! And you can't forget FAKE! Anyway the point of this was she wrote this ugly comment that wasn't even close to the truth and made a big deal out of it. I made BF read it and all she said was "Well it was wrong for her to bring it up when you're already minding your own business." That's when I realized.. how come she doesn't have my back? I told her that, and she said, "Well, I can't choose sides. Ego is my friend too. I don't wanna say anything and make it worse." I told her I didn't want her to choose sides. I didn't know what I wanted her to do. But really, best friends are suppose to have your back right? She would get mad at people when they talk about her other friends, so why is it different this time? I'm her best friend but she chooses them over me now. She never hang out with me anymore. I was willing to do anything for her, I almost beat the shit out of this one girl for her. So why can't she even say "Stfu" or something to Ego. I don't know. I'm doubting my friendship with her. And I think I got her mad.

What should I do? What would you do if your best friend was like that? Would you leave her thinking she's not really a best friend, or what? I have the right to be mad at her, but at the same time, I can't. I don't want to lose her.

Well, you obviously can't force her to be on your side. I'd do just what she was doing except I'd defend you more. I guess your best friend could tell Ego to shut up, but it all depends on Ego's personality. Ego might just turn around and say, "you're just like her. i shouldn't be your friend either" or something along those lines. Any little thing might trigger her to be like that. (I'm assuming you're calling her Ego just because it describes her.) Saying anything to Ego may jeopardize their friendship as well. Are you sure she's your "best" friend?
If I was in your position, I'd probably just drop everything [even your so-called best friend] and just forget about it. It's not worth the drama.
