Okay this is a long story and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it.
Basically, I have this hang up that I've only ever really had one person I could ever call my best friend we'll call him Jason.

I hung around with Jason and his other best friend, Tom. I myself am great friends with Tom too (It's worth noting Tom and Jason have been best friends since they were 4.) We were a really close unit.

Then when we changed schools, we drifted apart. I still had Tom in my form group but I didn't ever see Jason and we stopped hanging out.

Then it occured to me that I don't have much time left before I move off to University so I set out to get them back, which was easy enough. We had a brilliant Summer and it was as if nothing had ever changed. But by the time September hit, it had dramatically.

He never does anything to help our friendship. I'm always the one to make the effort. He's been to my house so many times I couldn't even count and I've been to his house and Tom's for that matter a total of never.

I feel so unwanted by them. He's rude to me when we're in a group and he never sides with me. I literally do all I can for him. I keep his secrets, I make sure he's alright when he's upset and if he needs me for anything, I'm there. I paid for alcohol for a party we went to, He didn't refund me and he didn't thank me. At another party, I spent all night looking after him. He doesn't do any of that for me and he wouldn't if he got the chance. I feel as if, I got my best friend back and somebody said "Haha, just kidding." and snatched him back again.

He has lessons with Tom and none with me, yet he still makes no effort. Tom talks to me all the time so it's not like it can't be done. They always flaunt how great friends they are in front of me as if they're bragging at the fact that I'm the 'third wheel.' I always have to be the butt of every joke and I'm sick of it.

Everyone tells me to just get rid of him. But having a best friend is important to me and there is no one I get along with better most of the time and I love him to bits.

I've tried to speak to him about it but apparently, it's my fault and I need to get over it and he won't be my friend if I keep getting upset. So I can't bring it up again. He tries to change and it works for a while but it fizzles out again.

I know he sounds like a dick from this but that's just one side of him that albeit is becoming more and more prominent lately.

I just want my best friend back.

Any help is really appreciated. Thank you so much.
