I'm in love with my bext friend. But I really screwed things up...?

So about a month ago, my best friend told me he had more than friendly feelings for me. I had a crush on him for a while so I was so happy. Well we started like "talking". Pretty much like unofficially dating. He wasn't technically my boyfriend but everyone knew we were together. But, last Saturday I ruined everything. My drunk guy friend was texting me and anyway somehow got out of the conversation that I liked him as more than a friend and told everyone that I was with him now. My best friend heard this and broke up with me. I really hurt him. He won't even talk tome. He let me see him once but we both just got really upset and he had to leave. I really love him and I want him back. He says we just need to be friends right now and he's just looking out for himself. But I don't know how to just be friends with him. And I miss him so much. I'm trying to give him his space. My friends say he will contact me when he's ready but this is killing me. What should I do. I just want him so bad.
