When unresolved conflict threatens group dynamics

My closest friend group from college has been planning this big reunion trip for months, but two people in our group had a falling out last year that they never really resolved, and now we're all pretending it's not awkward while secretly taking sides. The trip is in three weeks and I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster if we don't address this.
