"We met in 5th grade. We'd been friends since. In high school, I moved away, and we were so close that our families discussed actually letting me stay and live with her family so I could finish high school. We both went to college in Atlanta."
Fast forward, her friend Lina (not her real name) became pregnant, and she was with her through it all. She even became the godmother of the child after he was delivered.
When it was time for Lina to get married, Khadijah was with her again throughout the period despite going through the worst breakup in her life.
A week after the wedding, Lina called Khadijah, crying and asking for money.
"She said she was facing eviction (which she never told me before even though I'm a lawyer and could have helped). She told me she would pay me back within three days," Khadijah said.
However, Lina failed to deliver on her promise to pay back after three days and suddenly developed a habit of ignoring Khadijah's calls.
For months, Khadijah had not hear from Lina, and that was how the friendship started breaking up.
Khadijah noted that in 2018, Lina's husband paid her back part of the money but never paid the remaining till date.
She said she later heard from her friend in 2020 when Lina texted her to apologise. In 2021, she saw Lina for about thirty minutes, and that has been it.
The situation, Khadijah said, has left her broken for many years.
"Honestly, the breakup of my relationship paled in comparison. I had been with him 2 years. I had been with her for life. I couldn't BELIEVE she would do that to me, and just cut me out like that. The money was one thing, but the ghosting. Whew. I spent TIME in therapy on this," she said.
