**| Sang's POV |**

Silas was sitting next to me on the couch, watching Nathan, Gabriel, and Kota play a racing game. North was on the other side of me.

Not long ago, everyone showed up at Nathan's house and then they sent me a text asking if I could come over. I was more than happy to come play with everyone. It was better than staying in my room, trying to use Tylenol as a way to get rid of the pain in my ribs and the irritation from the bruises from the rope.

I felt hot and irritated but I wanted to see everyone so it was an easy decision to make and made easier when Maria was off at her friend's house again and Diane was sleeping in her room.

"Where are Luke and Victor?" I asked North.

He glanced at me and then at Silas before focusing back on me. He shrugged. "They're busy today."

I nodded and turned back to the screen just as Kota's car bumped into Nathan's, forcing him into a spin. I giggled as Nathan glared at his friend, allowing Gabriel to speed past them both.

Silas leaned into me and I shifted around until he leaned away to give me room to move around. After a few minutes, he leaned into me again and I did the same thing again.

"Are you feeling alright, Aggele?" he asked.

I looked over at him and gave him a smile. "I'm fine." I turned back to the screen feeling two sets of eyes on me. Silas lifted his arm and rested it on the back of the couch. I stiffened but didn't move. When his fingers started playing with my hair I wanted to lean into him so badly. Instead, I jumped up.

"Can I get a drink from your kitchen?" I asked Nathan.

He nodded and smiled at me. "Of course."

I returned the smile and retreated into the kitchen, trying to breathe through my racing heartbeat.

I found a bottle of water and when I closed the fridge door, I jumped in surprise. North was standing in the doorway, leaning against the wall, a scowl on his face.

"North? Is everything okay?" I asked.

His frown deepened. "Do you hate Silas?" he asked, his voice deeper than normal. My eyes grew wide when I realized he was angry. At me.

I looked around the room, starting to feel trapped.

He just loomed over me, waiting for an answer.

"No," I croaked out.

"Bullshit."

I clenched my teeth in fear. "It's the truth. I could never hate him."

"Then what the fuck was that?" he asked, his voice getting louder. He pointed back towards the living room and stepped close to me.
