Why don't you talk to your once "best friend" anymore?

I had a long-term boyfriend, we (he) decided the relationship wasn't working out, and booked a flight to leave and permanently return to his home town. I was pretty devastated, and my friend offered to come up to my city to visit the day he left, and we'd hang out. All I had to do was text when I was home from the airport and she'd come over.

Come that day, and I text about 8am. Nothing. 9am. Nothing. Around 1pm I get a reply saying that she'd decided to hang out with her roommate (who had traveled with her) instead.

I've not spoken to her since.

Why? Because it was the first time I ever really needed something from her in a friendship. We'd been friends for 27 years at that point and it was the first time I'd asked for something. And she wasn't there at all and had no interest to be. Looking back, she talked a lot of shit about her other friends (who I never met) behind their back. It made me think what she was saying about me.

It's not the first time I've re-evaluated a friendship because I realized I was just someone useful for them, and they couldn't reciprocate when I needed it. But that's the one that hurt the most. My partner and my best friend left me on the same day.
