At times people find it difficult to forgive when you cross a particular line.They are human beings too.
Please make sure that you don't do this to any new friends that you will make in the future.Consider it a lesson learnt.
You have extreme reactions to this situation.I don't think that's a good sign.You have mentioned that you cannot live without them.If I were you I would see a Psycholoist/Psychiatrist.Apologize from the heart and let them go.If you trouble them further,they are going to get irritated with you.Life is never easy.Sigh.

 For one thing I wouldn't grovel and beg as that puts them in the power position of being able to be more abusive to you. These people don't actually sound like very kind people and by the way they are treating you I don't quite understand why you can't live without them. All three?
Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. Fate and destiny are beyond our control, as the same with others emotions, needs, reactions, perceptions. Very sad when we make a small mistake and others act so cold and unforgiving.
I am in a situation that is a little like this. Not spying but someone I care for so much allowed his best friend to influence him negatively against me and since they are best friends, and I'm just the gal who has sex with my friend... he rather believe the worst about me. I have no idea what the creepy friend of his even says. But this guy is in the closet gay and wants to possess my friend. It is so sick! My friend refuses to believe his friend is gay and has gay feelings for him! You should see the looks the creepy guy gives me as he knows my guy believes him and he is so happy he has managed to ruin things between me and A.
As much as I tried to defend myself, against things I still don't even know , it just made my friend mad at me for saying things about his friend! Horrible!
Basically, people are going to think and believe whatever they want. Even if you are of pure heart, these things are beyond our control. Sorry. I wish I had an answer for you.
Soon enough you will meet new people and hopefully they are more loyal to you!

Love makes people do really stupid things! LOL All of us have done something we regret in the name of "love."
You didn't say what happened that would result in them not wanting to talk to you. Did the one friend betray your secret?
Is it okay to apologize to them all and say that your insecurities got the best of you or would that only bring humiliation?
Can you ask your parents for their advise or another caring adult? Hope this turns out okay for you!
