Is NOBODY wrong in the post ? POST : This story is actually extremely long on it's own, and full of twists and turns. Because of this, I'm going to start in the middle, so feel free to ask about anything that might not make sense.

There's this guy that I liked for over a year, who we'll call Austin for the sake of this story, but I always knew the crush was unhealthy. I couldn't stop thinking about Austin and would even stop paying attention in class to daydream about him. I only had one of my class periods with him, and it happened to be seventh, so I had to wait all day to see him. Because of this I would force myself to stay at school while sick just to talk with him. So yeah, pretty unhealthy.

However, when Summer came around I lost some feelings for him because I never saw him, and when school rolled around we had no classes together, so my attraction just kept growing weaker. I assumed that Austin never even had a crush on me to begin with, so I felt it impossible that he liked me now. But one day while I was walking out of school, one of his friends came up to me and told me that Austin did, in fact, like me! This made my heart ache because he had been such a big part of my life that I didn't want to hurt him. At my school, we have a dance every month, and that happened to be the Friday before one. I go to all of the dances and Austin had only ever been to one, but of course he had to show up that night. Of course I played petty and avoided him, and I thought I was safe from any confrontation. Because of this I let my guard down, and when I was sitting alone on the bleachers he cane up to me and asked how I felt about him. I told the truth; that I liked him a lot but not in that way. He walked off solemnly, but I thought I'd gone about it correctly. That is, until one of my friends who had been sitting in front of me turned around and said, "That was harsh."

Because of that I felt the need to make it up to Austin and asked him to the next dance. I tried to make it clear I wanted to go as friends, but apparently he needed me to blatantly state this, because two days later he asked me out. I knew at this point I had been unintentionally leading him on, so I felt obligated to say yes. However, I ended up breaking it off less than a month later, and I feel like such an awful person. I want to make it up to him but don't want to make things worse. 

I'm already pretty convinced I'm the asshole here, but I want some more opinions.
