Obligations

Sometimes, friends can be stuck in the middle of a exchange of words. The friend in the middle is best friends with the two people exchanging words. If one of the friends says something bad about the other friend to the person in the middle, is the middle friend obligated to tell? Or is it the middle friend obligated to keep it a secret because he's friend with the other one? If all this seems confusing consider that I've been in this situation before. A very good friend of mine, Michael said something about another very good friend of mine, Leticia. Now I'm the middle person. Should I tell Leticia what Michael has said about her? Or do I keep it a secret from Leticia and save Michaels trust in me? In this situation I chose the first option and told Leticia. Of course, Michael was mad at me. As a middle friend its near impossible to win in my opinion because it seems like either way someones going to end up being mad at you. If you are a middle friend, what are your obligations?
