Via silences her mother by ending their argument with, "You screamed first! Just leave me alone, okay? You've been really good about leaving me alone my whole life, so why you choose high school to suddenly be interested I have no idea. . . ."

Via's words are both honest and hurtful. and we can infer that her mother's silence comes from more than one place.... she is stunned, feeling guilty, and hurt all at the same time. Honesty can be hurtful.... and Via's hurt has been building for a ling time.
