things that go bump in the hospital

so, i totally am completely at a loss about what to do about the whole Eric situation...i want to do something, but i don't know that i can because he's really the one who needs to come out and be like "i said some shit about you guys, and i feel really bad about it, i just wanted you to know" he doesn't need to specify what it was, he just needs to apologize, and then he needs to make things right with Ryan because that was a really shitty thing he did to him. I just don't know that he's even considered a friend anymore, and i know deep down, that he's not, and maybe he never was, not to me at least, i mean...just one of those people who you always think you're close to and then one day it hits you that you're not really...and then you don't know what to do about it because how can you make something that was never there better...and does Rachel know about him making out with Lacy while or just before they supposedly started going out? i feel so bad for that girl because i'm sure that he thinks he loves her until something better comes along, or something shiny and new...i just don't think there's really anything i can do about the whole situation except watch it implode at a distance...and then maybe try to help pick up the pieces, if i'm even allowed
i just want to sit him down at coffee and tell him everything that we know that he's said because of various people having a big mouth...and i want to tell him not to get mad at him because someone would have told us eventually and he should realize that's true about everything that he says...but i miss the boy and i don't really know what to do about it...i feel so helpless in this situation...agh...
