Sorry to see you were screwed over by your erstwhile friend but frankly, this stuff happens.

Often, when you do favors and the other person can't pay you back or return the favor (or doesn't want to) they get defensive because they know they're wrong but need to make you somehow the 'bad guy' in order to justify screwing you and to feel good about it.

Yeah, I had it happen to me, too. Almost everyone does at some point.

I now choose my friends carefully and although I know a lot of people I only have a few friends that I totally trust and only because they've proven themselves to me over a long period of time.

I almost never ask anyone for favors and I don't do many, either. It works fine. I pay for what I need or do it myself and when I need help, I only ask those who I know I can help back in some way at a later time.

Live and learn.
