Surely that's an injustice. Of course he cares. He simply holds you accountable for your actions, while you indicate that your other acquaintances 'accept' your bad behaviour. But I believe that what you interpret as 'caring' for you on their parts derives from not recognising proper conduct in the first place, nor how to advise you to comport yourself appropriately, which does nothing to improve your relationships with those who should be in your cohort.
It might help to recall that he has had good reasons to behave as he has done. Consider as well that he has had his own worries to be going on with, now as well as then, and may not have had as much time to spare to cater to you as you would have wished. Also, speaking as someone who once was one, boys tend not to be highly sensitive to the needs or sentiments of girls their own age. I rather think you give your Weasley too much credit in that regard. Certainly I cannot imagine he has provided much in the way of mature emotional support, let alone insight! Indulgence, perhaps, but that is not the same thing.
It does not surprise me in the least that Draco withdrew from you during the bizarre turn in your first year, nor ought you hold that against him. Regarding Regulus, he expressed his sympathies, but it is understandable that at his age, he did not wish to dwell on the loss. And surely it was more appropriate for someone like Perks to provide you with your assignments while you were in the hospital wing than to expect Draco to take time to see to you during what turned out to be a minor issue, easily remedied. Moreover, did you ask it of him? I rather think not.
If you compare his friendship to the others', then clearly, the actions they perform to court your favour will inevitably appear more solicitous. But on the whole, it appears to me as if you have moved away from Draco, not the other way 'round.
You have observed the effect of his being embarrassed and ashamed by you. Have you taken into account why you have brought him that shame? Have you followed his line of reasoning or done anything to avoid repeating those actions which earned his contempt? Most importantly, have you listened to what he has had to say? Or do you merely ignore it, as you do my advice, in the surety that you and you alone can correctly assess the characters of those about you?
In any event, I have not the time to act as referee between you or to broker your reconciliation. If you truly are interested in maintaining your lifelong connexion, then you will afford his argument its due weight and see the situation from his perspective. Doing that, it is easy to see why he has acted toward you thus.
