Conflict Between Two of My Best Friends

B and S are two of my best friends in Singapore. They are my secondary school junior. Maybe because we are from same city of china, we've hit it off ever since our first chatting to each other. S is a very pretty girl with a mild look, but a impulsive character. B used to be a bit tomboy look, and with a strong character as well. (She looks very girly now) There is one fact I must admit, S and B got along with each other better, they were so close that even S's mum once suspected that they were in a girl and girl relationship.

After graduating from secondary school, each of us was busy with own things. Although we didn't meet so often, we never drifted apart. Things changed in last year, my second semester in university.

That time, three of us shared same unit. At first, we were so happy that we could chit chat till very late and we could help each other dress up again. But things didn't turn out to be so nice. One night, S told me she don't want to be friend with B anymore, she think that B changed a lot and now B only knows how to use people. I was very stunned after I heard this, as to me they were always soul mate. I continued to ask S why, she said B was avoiding her and purposely never invite her to her birthday party and the only reason B called her was asked her to settle university administration problem (that time B was in China). And even worse, B deleted S from her Facebook contact.

I don't know what happened between them. The only thing I know is after that I cannot mention S in front of B, and cannot mention B in front of S. And I am always obeying this rule; because I think something bad was already happened and I don't want to hurt them twice. It was like I almost lost two very good friends. I want to solve the conflict between two of my best friends and until now I still cannot figure out a good way. Can anyone help me?
