Update: Woman gets ghosted by new roommate 12 hours before moving from New York to California: 'I genuinely have no idea what I’m supposed to do.'

This woman's "friend" completely ghosts her right before a huge cross-country move, leaving her without a roommate.

This person is truly in a worst-case scenario, and it's not her fault at all.

Imagine: You and a friend plan to take a cross-country trip together. You're both so excited. It's going to be so fun!

You plan it out. The two of. you will travel from New York to California. A road trip after a college graduation, but it's also a move. This 2-in-1 is like a girls' trip with a purpose. How wonderful!

But now, this woman is utterly perplexed, as she shared over a series of text exchanges between her and her (former?) friend.

It's 12 hours before the trip… and this friend is ghosting her.

She is totally uncommunicative. Except, she knows her friend is okay, because she has the audacity to post on social media!

Ready for the messages?

Wow, look how excited both of them are

A month ago, they seemed super excited still...

And now, as this woman puts it, she is stuck in a "horrible horrible position"

At this point, the roommate/former friend must know what she's done. For whatever reason, she has backtracked so hard and is probably just avoiding accountability.

I can't wait for another update from this person, because this story is so bonkers.
I also hope this woman can enjoy her solo road trip! Although it's not what she planned on, solo travel can be a lovely time. You'll meet lots of new people, and though you have to be a little extra cautious, you'll find that a lot of locals get very excited to show you around their town.
The money aspect is such a shame, too. I think that's probably why the friend is trying to avoid this so hard, too. She knows she's wrong. She knows she's costing a friend thousands. And she seems stuck somehow, convinced that if she just ignores this, that it'll go away.
This person is far nicer than me, because if I was in her shoes, I'd start messaging this woman's friends and family, to “make sure she's okay,” but really trying to dig into why she's ghosting. And maybe even mention that she owes money here, because now this woman is left without a roommate!
But you know what? At the end of the day, this is a fresh start, and hopefully this woman and all her cute pets can find better friends who will actually show up to their shared road trips.
