Since Georgia is a one-party consent state, you may be able to use the recording of him saying he will pay you back. This would indicate that he agrees the money was a loan, as opposed to it being a gift.

The dollar limit for small claims court in Georgia is $15000 (that's higher than most other states, in some cases substantially!).

There is information right here which I think might be very useful for you.
