Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

an ex friend gave me money too pay a fine, she stated I did not need to repay, we aren't friends anymore, now she is threatening too sue, she has nothing in writing about repaying and I have nothing stating it was a gift, what will happen if this goes too court, doesn't she have burden of proof?
