Silver's POV

The drive home was silent. I remained still, tugging at my fingers nervously. Once we were home, Elliot waited for me to get out of the car first. I quickly walked into the house, carrying some of my bags while Leo carried the others.

Elliot walked inside after us and he gave me a quick look, uncertainty in his face, before he walked up the stairs and out of my view. I was left staring up at him feeling a little crushed by dismissiveness. I thought maybe he would yell at me or say something in regard to the Gavin situation.

But he didn't.

He just blatantly ignored me and, in some ways, that hurt even worse.

"Everything okay?" Beta Leo asked when he came back into the room.

He put all my art supplies in the living room so I could sort through them later. Elliot still hadn't assigned a room for my studio; so until he did, my supplies had no home.

I don't really talk to Leo often, but so far, he's been nothing but kind to me.

"I think Elliot is mad at me," I confessed. "He won't speak to me."

He shook his head.

"He's just stressed. He has an important meeting this afternoon that he needs to get ready for. He was coming to see you because apparently you calm him down but when he saw you with your ex..." "He was jealous?" I asked, my brows raised.

"Not jealous... just not pleased," he said, a bit hesitant on what to tell me.

This confused me even more.
