📝 AITA for rekindling a friendship with a girl that all my other friends cut off?

I need help on this. Backstory is: there were four of us in a friend group, 3 girls and 1 boy. We were best friends, things were fantastic throughout our high school years but then in the last few months before graduation one of the girls started to change (let’s call her G3). G3 got into an abusive relationship and it was very evident that her personality started to change. she’d either blame her faults on birth control or little things. she didn’t do terrible terrible things, she just had a knack for always wanting attention and making something out of nothing. i could go into the knitty gritty details but that was take up too much time. it was just a bunch of little things that irritated the rest of us. the friendship seemingly dissolved in our first year of university. G3 and I go to the same one, and the other two attend another university together. the two at the other university are roommates, and i haven’t talked to G3 because on St. Patricks Day, she got into a fight with G2. G2 has a knack for always somehow getting into these close friendships and then having her friendships breakup and I subconsciously always start drifting along to her side. It’s very draining though, i’m tired of saying goodbye to people who haven’t done me wrong, or anyone for that matter. these situations were never big enough to break friendships over yet they always seem to happen with G2. so G2 and the boy go to school together, I have nobody here because she expects me not to talk to G3.

However, I hit rock bottom in February. I lost all my university friends that i worked so hard to build up within the past two years. I lost them all. My roommates ditched me. I lost every part of my social life. Then G3 called me. I was crying in my room at midnight studying for an exam and she called me crying on her behalf. She missed me, she wanted to desperately make amends. I felt so guilty, but I gave in. Why? because as I’m chatting with her I realized i have ZERO support system here. I can’t confide in my two friends because they’re so far away and are busy little stem majors. I had nobody. I needed somebody desperately so I gave in. We met, talked, cried, she apologized for everything. She really looked like a different person, so much happier and healthier. We became friends again because we were both alone. Hell, we almost became roommates (that didn’t go through though, but we’re close still)

G2 texted me and confronted me on why i’m following G3 on socials. I don’t know what to do. G2 tends to check who I’m following, sometimes my location too. I don’t know what to do and I feel scared. I’ve tried to emotionally check out. If anything I’m just worried about what she’s gonna tell our guy friend. He means so much to me, she fed him false information and now he doesn’t like G3 either. I can’t cut her off though, I need someone. I can’t keep saying goodbye to people for situations that were never in my control.

AITA? what should i do?
