"What do you mean, 'No'?" Liam snarls as he stomps towards Scott in anger.

Scott gestures at Hayden, "Liam, look at her. She's too weak. It will kill her. We don't even know what the mercury's doing to her. We don't even know if it is actually mercury. This can't be the only way to save her life." He says. Liam looks over to Hayden who was in Theo's arms. Her face scrunches in pain and whimper escapes her lips. He turns back to Scott, still determine for the bite.

"It saved mine." Liam points out.

"You know, that was different. You were hanging off a ledge." Scott says.

"You promised

"You promised." Liam grits his teeth at Scott. "You said you'd do everything you could."

"Which is why I'm not going to do something I think is going to kill her." Scott protests.

"You would do it if it was Josie lying there." Liam snarls.

Scott sighs, that was true. He would in a heartbeat, but, he can't do this till he finds another way.

"You would do anything to save her. I know you would." Liam adds.

"Yes, ok?! I would do anything to save Josie, but if she was full of mercury, I would do something different to save her. I would find another way." Scott snarls.

Josie looks down, hugging herself to keep her warm from the cold.

Scott starts gasping for air, "There has to be...There has to..." Scott wheezes out air.

"Scott...." Josie grabs his arm to help him.

"Scott." Theo calls out and throws him an inhaler. Scott catches it, shakes it and inhales the medicine deeply.

Sighing in relief, he turns back to Liam, "There's another way to save her." Scott says.

"Guys, I don't know what the statistics are for surviving a werewolf bite, but she's definitely not surviving this. We need to do something." Theo says.

Stiles drives his jeep, going anywhere, to just think. He couldn't keep his eyes off the wrench though, the blood dripping from the head. Mixed with the rain. He should have told him. He had plenty of chances. He could have told Josie. He was just scared. Suddenly, smoke begins to come from the hood. Sighing in frustration, Stiles hits the wheel.

"No."

He begins to cough as the smoke comes back into the jeep, suffocating him. He begins to pull over, but the lights begin to flicker then the jeep finally dies. Stiles stumbles out of the jeep, gasping for air, coughing up a storm. He slams the door shut. God, he was tired of this. Tired of everything breaking down in front of him. Everything was going wrong. His plan was failing. His dream was going down the toilet. He just wanted a normal year with his friends. He goes to the trunk and grabs his toolbox. He throws it to the ground as he moves around to open the hood. As he gets the hood open, he grabs his toolbox and places it on the edge of the hood. He opens it and sees the large wrench missing. That damn wrench. How could Scott just look at him and judge him without evening know what happened? He just looked at him like he was a cold-blooded murderer. In a fit of rage, Stiles throws the tool box across the street, hearing the distant clattering of metal. He slams the hood down and goes to the passenger's side and gets the other wrench. He turns and gets ready to throw it but stops and turns to his jeep. His crappy jeep. His jeep that he had for years, breaking down on him every five freaking minutes! He takes the wrench and throws it as hard as he can into the window.
