Reach out to your friend and give them a sincere apology. Just be sincere, and try your best to make it right. If they're your friend they will hopefully understand that nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If they don't accept your apology, don't beat yourself up, what matters is that you've realized you made a mistake and have tried to make it right. Just have compassion, realize you hurt them, and give them an honest apology without making excuses. Nobody's perfect, and it's okay if your friend is upset but just do your part to make it right and you'll be okay! :)
Communication is key. If you want to mend your relationship with your friend, you need to talk through the situation. Put yourself in their shoes and listen. Try to understand what you did that made them angry, even if you feel as if they overreacted and are unreasonable. Often we don’t see the whole picture of how our actions or words affect others. By communicating, you can come to an understanding of what led them to be angry, express your intentions, and learn how your friend responds to certain things to avoid hurting them in the future!

It is hard to admit when we make a mistake, and knowing when and how to apologise can be confusing. We have to ask ourselves if the mistake was deliberate or intentional as this will affect our response and those involved. Either way apologising and explaining yourself to your friend about how your mistake came about may help you both move forward together. Depending on your mistake, this may take time but it may resolve itself sooner than expected. Accepting your friends anger and responsibility for your mistake is a positive step. Allowing yourselves to feel your emotions first will enable you to discuss the situation together with greater clarity.
Talk to him/her.
Communication is always the key. Try to make them understand that it was really a mistake and make them believe that you are sorry.
Tell them they matter to you that's why you regret doing it in a first place.
No friendships and no relationships are without fights but what matter is how you manage to come out of it, you must arise stronger and with more clarity. Just keep trying to make things clear and not worse. Have some patience too.
I hope if you are truly good friends then things will get better soon.
I wish you the best of luck!

Go and apologize as quickly as possible and in person if possible. Recognizing that you made a mistake is a great step in reconciliation and it shows maturity. Put your pride aside and redeem what is valuable your friendship. Not to many people have friends that can with stand ups and downs, making up with your friend build a friendship. Point out that you realize you made a mistake and that you are sincerely wanting to apologize and asking for their forgiveness. Most people who are approached with an apology will accept the apology and be reconciled. Sometimes replacing your fault with something like a card, flowers or dinner can help ease the situation.
