Would i get my money back


I leave in Ohio! My question is would I be able to get a good lawsuit after i explain wht happend? While I was stayin in New York my friend called me several times asking me if I can go 2 Georgia with her. She plans 2 graduate in June, so she wanted me to accompany her while she looked for houses in GA! She then said that I wont have 2 worry about anything because she wiill be driving her car and when we get to our final desination the hotel was already taken cared of. After hearing that, about a couple days later i told her I would go!
To make a long story short, while driving from the club on the highway to the hotel one night, we got into an agrument. She ended up dropping me off at an abandoned gas station in the middle of no where and left. After that happened, I made a couple of phone calls and ended getting picked up by my cousin about 45 minutes later, I had to put gas in her car!!SO she ended up kicking me out the hotel room and also said that I need to find another way home because Im not getting in her car. Keep in mind that it is about 6 am.
I checked myself into a hotel room. I had to check out at 12 because the room was reserved for someone else. I then checked myself back into another available room so that i can get myself to figure out how Im going to get back home.
I ended up paying for a shuttle to take me to the airport. When I got to the airport, I had to pay to ship my stuff to myself through the post office because the airline that I was flying with,AirTran, only allows one personal item and a small luggage. Then I bought my flight ticket back to Ohio!

I just feel like I shouldnt have had to pay for my hotel room, gas, shuttle, postage, and airline ticket because she went back on her word! LET ALONE SHE DROPPED ME OFF AT AN ABANDONNED GAS STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! MY ONLY THOUGHTS IS, "WHAT IF I GOT KIDDNAPPED OR WORSE.
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE HANDLED?

You are posting in the wrong forum to begin with. But honey this isn't a place for drama. If you're that ticked off at your "friend," sue the "friend" in small claims court for your actual money losses and call it a day.

Your name befits your ability to follow directions

Personally, I would have avoided pissing off my ride and the provider of my lodging...but that's just me.
