Bianca very nearly just waited in silence, but there was something prodding at her. Justin was here standing up for her. She couldn't very well just let him deal with this, could she? Besides, she wanted to know why Lavender thought what she did. When else would she get a chance? When else would she get a chance to stand up for herself for once?
"I...I think we are," she replied, her own voice startling here. "Going to do this now, I mean. Lavender, I came to you because I thought you'd understand, that I'd have someone to confide in. Next thing I know I find you you've been telling people I'm a...murderer. I know now I should never have trusted you, but what I don't know is why? Why suspect me when I was every bit as scared as you?"
Once she started talking everything came out in a rush, and when she'd finished, she looked even more startled than when she'd began. Had she actually said all that? Had talking to herself in the mirror to bolster her courage like Jayne suggested actually worked?
