"A" Let's be clear, A isn't your friend and hasn't been for a long time (if he ever was). Putting up with A so as not to upset B was never a good idea, and now you've taken a stand, it shows. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
'B" This is a little more difficult, as you don't really explain your relationship with him. Specifically, you don't explain why you've put up with a jerk (A) all this time just to please him.
Fact is, if B is a mature adult, he's quite capable of being friends with both of you, with - at worst - minor inconvenience.
If he feels the need to choose, and chooses A, then let's face it, he wasn't much of a friend, was he? And I suspect you know that, which is why you've put off the inevitable showdown for so long.
Be clear, A is no loss. If B chooses to be collateral damage, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it, it's his choice, not yours.
Without A in the picture, I suspect you'll find it much easier to make new friends. Real friends.

A would argue i am overreacting and B likely to agree with A. But you aren't. You too have the right to choose your friends. Let B think on it for a while, and - if he gives you the opportunity - explain that you've simply put up with A long enough. If he's a friend, he'll respect that.
