You may not like my answer, but I am going to be completely honest.
I can see why you are upset- she broke "promises" and flaked on you a couple of times. But the only reason you are hurt, is because she is not acting like she cares about you. You defriending her is simply lashing out at her to get a response. She cried in response...do you really feel careless about that? Truthfully the situation is pretty common but if handled in a more mature fashion I'm sure would have had better results. I think you should tell her that you are sorry for over reacting and telling her you didn't want to be friends anymore. (even though I understand why you would want to act that way) You will look like a much wiser (and a more attractive adult) if you handle the situation in a mature way. Don't make plans with her anymore- unless she asks you to. You going out of your way and being disappointed is only going to hurt you. So basically, be the bigger person, apologize, move on and see what happens after that.
