You're exactly right. I would have called a cab, but you definitely did the right thing. However I would talk to her afterwards and explain that she can't do that again. You won't be rushing to her assistance every time she feels low, and that (maybe) if it's real next time and she does kill herself, then she needn't blame you and come haunting you. You've done all you can, been burned by it, got in trouble with people INCLUDING HER and you're done.
