Letting out a little sigh of relief, Sloane felt a little lighter at making some progress with Sisse. Some. "It's not that I don't trust you," She did, implicitly, and she'd regretted what she'd said before storming off after their argument, but trust wasn't the factor here. "I do, very much so." Sisse hadn't told anyone about the reason behind the argument, about her and Cam, though she had admitted to Alice that they'd argued, from what she could tell, Sisse had been vague as to why, which proved she could be trusted. Not that Sloane had really doubted her, but the reaction at the time had been so fresh, stung so much, she wasn't entirely sure until proven otherwise. Sloane was pretty sure she'd never forget the sound of the words how could you?

"It's just," She sighed, trying to breathe and prevent another cough before it could take hold; she hadn't done this much talking in quite a few days. "It was mine," And Cam's, obviously, but for once, as the youngest of five, in a dorm full of girls who shared everything, she'd had something of her own just this once and she'd wanted to keep it that way for a little bit. "Something I've never had before, truthfully something I didn't know if it would last or not, so I wanted to keep it to myself, just for a little while." Could she really be at fault for that? "What would have been the point in sharing if it was gone within a week or two?" If she and Cam had tried it and decided it was better being friends? It would have been so much more awkward with everyone knowing.

It had barely been a month and a half and with the fear hanging over their heads, propriety and everything else, they hadn't even been able to enjoy it much. However they'd handled a lot in that short time, ups and downs and round and rounds, it made her head spin to think about it. However, they'd made it through, really talked about it and made decisions together like you were supposed to and gotten through it all so far. "I really care about him, really I do." She admitted, for the first time, to anyone other than Cam. "And I care about you too, so I'm sorry you got hurt, and I'm sorry for what I said." That was her biggest regret really. Sloane had a sharp tongue when angry or upset, it was one of her worst qualities, but she was also capable of knowing when to admit she was wrong. They may still not see eye to eye on secrets between friends, but at least maybe they could get past this. "I just need you to understand that I'll tell you things in my own time, not because I don't trust you, but because I'm not ready yet. Which is all I'd expect from you too, or Alice or anyone for that matter." Sloane would still be guarded with her secrets, but eventually things would be shared on her own time, if she decided she was ready.
