Read, "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" and you will see Fannie Flagg juggling 5 or 6 plot lines at once and doing it beautifuly.
That is how it is done.

Write it through the friend's perspective--if the main character has yet to arrive. (But in most instances, this is a very bad thing--seeing that the "friend" could be mistaken for the main character, and the main character, vice versa.)

Have each chapter of the different world, so it goes back and forth

it could be that he can tell there's something going on with his friend and is trying to figure out what it is.
