My (18M) Best friend(18F) accused me of sexually assaulting her, and I don’t know what to do. This situation is really fucked, and my mind is still racing right now. Me and my friend have known each other for about 3 years, starting in high school, but we quickly became close and leaned on each other, because a lot of personal things in our lives were really shitty. Throughout those years we developed feelings for each other on and off, but no relationship came out of it, as we both didn’t wanna ruin the friendship. Fast forward present day, we’re both going to the same college. The second week into college, we decide to get our new friend group into her dorm to watch a show. There was alcohol involved, and by the time we were done watching, the majority of the group was drunk. It was my first time drinking, so I didn’t get super drunk, but I definitely felt it. She had far more experience with alcohol, drinking for a couple years. We talked, and joked, and she wasn’t slurring her words so i figured she wasn’t super drunk. after food, the group all slept over in her dorm. That night I slept in her bed next to her, and we’ve done this before, but there wasn’t alcohol involved any other time. I was spooning her, and she grabbed my arm over and put it on her breast. I froze and didn’t really know what to do, but after a minute she put my hand under her shirt and told me to touch her. I kept asking if she was sure and she kept saying yes, clearly understanding the situation and my question. After some point I told her she could tell me to stop any time if she was uncomfortable, and she said okay. Then I touched her crotch, which I also made sure to ask her repeatedly. We did this in and off throughout the night for about an hour, and then fell asleep at some point. In the morning I left for my dorm and class later, and things didn’t seem out of the ordinary with her behavior. Later, she texted me that she had fun but wasn’t looking for a relationship, but still wanted to be friends, and I understood, I thought that was the end. But as days go by, I noticed weird shit happening, like no one responding to me in our group chat, them all hanging out without me, I could see on snap maps, and people acting weird when I saw them in passing and mentioning the group’s behavior. They all kept topic switching or acting like it wasn’t a big deal. I started to think maybe I offended them somehow, or they stopped liking me, and it was eating me up, because even she was doing it. Then, after a week, she suddenly texted me saying she was uncomfortable and that she wanted distance from me. I tried to get her to understand that she initiated the interaction, repeatedly asked her if it was okay, and was very confused and hurt, but she just kept reiterating that she wasn’t comfortable being around me and wanted space. She mentioned that she told the entire group, but wasn’t going to “turn it into a whole thing” or wasn’t outright accusing me of anything and she really didn’t know how to feel about it because she didn’t remember the majority of the night. I decided to give her space and backed off, but feel like shit right now because I don’t know what to do and didn’t mean any of this to happen. I feel angry but also very guilty. I just really wish she would remember, is there anything I can say or do in order to get my friend back?
TLDR: my best friend accused me of sexually assaulting her while we were both drunk, and told all our friends and cut me off, what can I do to fix the situation??
