Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Employer Not Paying Money Owed
I was hired as a personal Assistant for a friend of mine . We have a contract that I had signed where explaines everything . Under Payment It just simply says I will be paid on every 7th and 22nd of each month , Each check to amount of $2000 . We had a trip to New York , Which she Left and went On without me for personal Reasons , So I wasnt able to really work since i was still in California . I was supposed to recieve an expense account credit card to along with many other items which i didnt reiceve , So everything had to go out of my own pocket , to get supplies or take her where ever she needed to go . She told me I wouldnt get the first check ,Id have to wait to the 22nd to get my first . So I contiued to do the tasks that she asked believing that I would recieve my first payment on the 22nd . Now she is telling me that I dont deserve payment ,even though the check is already made out for the 7th and 22nd each check is $2000 . Now I believe shes talking about Firing me , all because i asked about the contract . Which she has and I signed . Is there any Legal way of me getting the checks that where already made , plus The money i spent ??
