I am a terrible writer so bear with me.

About a year and a half ago me and our close mutual friend (who I'll call Will to avoid confusion) had a fight over a girl. It was childish, High School drama bullshit, however we went our separate ways for a while and our friend (Jake?) was caught in the middle. After a couple of months Jake had told my girlfriend at the time (the one who split up the group) that me and him don't have the same connection as our mutual friend. This upset me because we connected instantly when we first met. We were the only awkward dudes at this party, I cracked a stupid joke, and he loved it. When the night was over, I knew this guy would be my best friend. Through him I met Will and we all connected like brothers. We all spent almost every night together. You could imagine how this would hurt my feelings. I mean, I kind of understood though. It was somewhat my fault for the split, I was spending more time with the girl than with either of them and I missed a lot of memories.

Fast forward to today. Me and the girl have broken up and all three of us are friends again. Jake's been out of the state for college, but came back last week. This isn't his first time back and I never was really bothered by his comment when he was here before, but lately I have been. It just kind sits in the back of my head when we are all together and I start to worry that there really is no connection. Even when we are joking around and I feel the connection I'm secretly really anxious about it. I feel like I should just talk to him about how I feel, but I don't want to open any wounds.
