I (18f) have known my best friend (24f) and her boyfriend (26m) for years. For a bit of backstory, I live in a very small town where most people know each other. I got to know them both separately and didn't even know they were in a relationship until a few months after first meeting them.

We met through a book club, and for the longest time those meetings were the only times we'd "hang out" since the age gap was pretty big, and with how young I was, only seeing each other when there were other people around was just what we defaulted to to ensure everyone's safety/comfort. I first met my best friend (we'll call her Maya), and then I met her boyfriend (we'll call him Jake) at another book club meeting, and I was unaware they were in a relationship.

About two years ago, Maya and I grew closer, and started hanging out outside of the book club as well, and for a good few months we didn't go a day without talking. We don't talk every single day now of course with life happening, but when we do talk it's the same as it's always been. I'm not as tight with Jake as I am Maya, but he's still someone I would've considered a friend.

Now here comes the issue. A couple of months ago, they broke up. I've never hung out with both of them at the same time (unless it's in a larger group setting like book club meet-ups). It's either only Maya and I, or only Jake and I. My friendship with one has never been affected by my friendship with the other, to me the two have always been separate. When they broke up, neither of them told me, and because it was never the three of us hanging out I didn't necessarily notice a change in dynamic either, so I wasn't aware of their breakup.

Last night Maya was hanging out at my place, just chatting, and as I was checking the time on my phone, she saw a text notification I had gotten from Jake. The text in question was just his response to my last text about the colleges i was considering applying to, but Maya got really angry. When I asked about it, she told me that they'd broken up and that he had SA'd her, and then stormed out. I was genuinely horrified to hear what he had done, that's not something I would wish on my worst enemy, and I didn't hesitate to cut him off. Maya is still angry at me, but I don't know what I could've done differently since I had no idea anything had happened. I sent her a text explaining and letting her know I'm sorry, that I'll give her the space she needs and that I'll be here if she wants to talk it out, but I don't think she wants to forgive me. AITA?
