When friend group dynamics shift around unresolved conflict between two members

Our friend group used to do everything together but over the last year it's split into people who hang out with Jake and people who hang out with Sarah, ever since they had that falling out that nobody talks about. The rest of us are tired of navigating around it and having to choose sides for every gathering.
