was my friend lying to me and why would she?

[Laila]

That is strange that she didn't call an ambulance if she could not breathe. That would be my first thing to do. Perhaps she just wants attention and she had already called all of her sisters, who might already know that this is the case. I think you were right not to go. Maybe call her back in a day and see how she feels, just as if nothing was out of the ordinary and see how she responds.
