What to do with manipulative friends?

Well so, i dont even think i have any true friends at this point. all girls are bitches, like **** i dont even need them. well i thought i had 2 bestfriends. friend number 1, friends since grade 5 (in grade 8 now) friend 2, known her since 6, friend 1 has known friend 2 since grade 6 too. well, we all have a weird relationship. friend 1 is like the leader, like me and friend 2 wouldnt even talk if it wasn't for her. we never hangout, all 3 of us. friend 1 & 2, or friend 1 & me. me and friend 2 always found out one of us was gossiping about each other, then we'd get pissed, and gossip some more. viscous cycle. neither of us wants to leave friend 1, but the more i think about it, it is all friend 1's fault... she's saying we said stuff about one of us to one of us that is not true. ive tried to confront friend 2, but the cycle continues, and friend 1... i thought she was my bestfriend... but this is like the 3863th time that one of us is left out or pissed. i dont want to leave 1, but i think i have to. i don't want to be her second option, when shes my priority. friend 2 is a complete follower of 1, but i think i might be a follower too... & i cant confront 1, she is soo manipulative & she can twist your words around to win. i mean... i dont have any friends. PLEASE tell me what to do, your thoughts, opinions, stories, i know im not innocent but i cannot put up with this! thanks if you read all this, PLEASE help me, im so lost, i mean: my "bestfriend" is a lying *****... :( sorry for bad grammar, really upset.
