In the hospital room its quiet and awkward. Myself and Liam standing beside Scotts 'so called' dead body.

For a while I just stared at his chest, which wasn't moving. From the corner of my eyes I notice Stiles staring at me.

"Are you scared?" he asks, giving me a small nod.

I return the nod, my eyes still fixated on Scott's chest.

"I'm just worried." I reply quickly, glancing to Liam, who's eyes were set on me.

Stiles presses his lips in a thin line, leaning against the metal bed that Scott lies on.

"You don't have to be worried. We can do this."

Veronica looks to Stiles, putting her hands on her hips.

"And what exactly are we doing? Are we going to run into some...vampires?"

I laugh, and so does Stiles and Kira. Liam nods.

"Yeah, do they even exist? Man. I've always been scared of Vampires"

Stiles stops himself from laughing and looks dead-set into Ronnie's eyes.

"Look, we might. It's just important you keep the garlic nearby" He says. Veronica nods. Then looks to her duffel bag sitting by the far wall.

"I don't have any. Can I borrow yours? Wait...why are you guys laughing. Come on guys"

I smile at her, shaking my head.

"It's alright Ron, don't worry" She sighs. Then the room goes back to the same awkward atmosphere. The same silent air. Nothing but the sound of breathing and the fidgeting of a nervous Liam.

Liam turns to me, a really worried look on his face.

"Can I- um...talk to you outside?" He asks. I nod, quietly whispering yes. He pushes open the doors and walks outside. I follow. When we get outside alone, he bows his head.

"Sorry." he replies. I raise an eyebrow.

"For what?"

He looks to me, running his hands through his hair.

"For making you come out here with me. I just needed a breather and I didn't want to be alone. I- I- I'm scared"

I wrap my arms around Liam, squeezing him lightly. Taking a moment to smell his cologne, to feel him wrap his arms around my waist.

"It's gonna be okay." I whisper, attempting to pull away but Liam doesn't release his grip on my body.

"No- just...stay with me for a second"

I smile, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Just promise me this, Jo, whatever happens, you'll stay by my side." He softly says.

"Of course I will Liam." I reply. He pulls away, only to connect his lips with mine.

When he pulls away, I take his hand in mine.

"I have your back Liam."

"No matter?" He asks. I nod, smiling at him, my eyes set on his beautiful amber ones.

"No matter."

He smiles down to the ground.

"I won't let anything happen to you? You know that right?" He says. The butterflies in my stomach refuse to settle, fluttering at an even faster pace. I feel my cheeks burn. All I wanted to do with Liam in this very moment was to be close with him. For him to hold me, and never let me go.

"I know that."

I don't let go of his hand as we walk in. Stiles smirks at us as we do so.

"Thank god you guys left before you- um- made out" He sarcastically replies. I poke my tongue at him, then wink at Liam.

"Please, the vibes I'm getting from you and Ronnie are just as bad. Maybe you two can get a room after tonight. Get all the feelings out in the open."

Stiles and Ronnie both go bright red and Kira does as well. Taking a step from the two.

Just as we settle down, Kira's mom enters from getting a coffee.

"Get your coffee?" Kira asks.

Her mother nods, primping herself and standing next to Kira.

"Where's Melis-"

Just as she begins, Melissa McCall opens the door, wiping tears away as she approaches the bed with her son lying on it. She takes a moment to wipe fake tears. Settling down. She fixates her eyes on Scott and opens her mouth a little.

"I still hate this idea" She says. I nod, looking down at Scott. I hated it as well. The chances of it working were just as bad as the chances of Scott living after this. Not to mention, how incredibly dangerous screwing with the benefactor may turn out to be.

"I mean this is pretty significantly terrifying. He looks dead."

Kira's mother sighs. "Give me your hand" She says to Melissa. Melissa gives her a look of uncertainty, then looks to Stiles.

He nods. "it's okay."

Melissa then passes her hand to Kira's mother, who places it down on to Scotts heart.

"Wait for it"

A minute goes by before Melissa gasps, having felt a heartbeat. Except a look of worry spreads over her face as she looks to Kira's mother.

"Is that enough to keep a werewolf alive?" She asks. Kira's mother gives Melissa a small smile.

"Enough for an alpha."

Melissa nods. "How much time do we have?"

I notice the look on Kira's mothers face, the look of weary and worry.

"Forty-five minutes." She replies, gritting her teeth.

"And after that?"

Kira steps forward, smiling re-assuring.

"I bring him back the same way."

Melissa raises her eyebrow.

"No. I mean, what happens if he stays like this longer than forty-five minutes?"

A silence spreads across the room as every one of us hesitates to open our mouths.

"No ones told her?" Kira's mother says, a very concerned look spread across her face.

"What?! What happens after forty-five minutes?!" Melissa yells.

Kira's mother scowls at Kira, returning her gaze to Melissa.

"He dies."
