Scott presses the knife onto his arm, and muffles any sound. He breathes through the pain.
"Scott!" Scott hears and smells Isaac, Erica, and Boyd. That means Derek wants Scott to join his pack.
'Allison hates me, Stiles is pissed with me, Lydia and Jackson never cared. There's no other pack. Derek knows that I'll talk to Boyd, Erica, and Isaac. But I can't. I have to do this on my own. They're too important.' Scott thinks to himself. He pressed harder.
"Scott!" Erica's concerned voice fills the house. Meanwhile, the three can smell wolfbane, and the house is a mess. Boyd sees the fridge empty, and worry fills him. All three know that Scott hides a lot from everyone, even Stiles, but Derek seems to be the only one trying to break Scott's defenses. Derek's way of breaking those defenses is Boyd, Erica, and Isaac.
"SCOTT! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? STOP!" Erica screams. Both boys rush to see Scott having a knife in his arm. Isaac grabs Scott by the waist, and Boyd grabs the knife. Erica rushes to Scott and wraps a wet towel on the wound.
"What the hell, McCall?" Boyd questions. He can see why Derek is constantly worried about the younger boy. If the boy self-harms, what other secrets does Scott McCall carry?
"Why doesn't Derek just give up? I'm not going to join him." Scott's tired of this game. Suddenly, Scott feels tired. The wolfbane is catching up to him, which is what he wanted. Isaac catches him and tosses him over his shoulder.
"Let's go," Boyd tells them. The three left with the fourth were unconscious. Once back at the compound, they see Derek and Peter arguing. The uncle and nephew see the cubs and are worried. Scott is with them, hurt.
"What happened?" Derek growled. Isaac holds Scott closer. Protective.
"We found him cutting, and the wolfbane is taking effect on him," Isaac informs them. Both adults pale at the news. Derek bites Scott in the arm, hoping that they can save him.
"What are you doing?" Erica demands. She likes Scott and doesn't want him to get any more, so she is willing to go against Derek to protect him.
"Trying to help him," Derek told them. The four watch as Scott slowly wakes up. The boy groans.
"What did you do?" He questions the alpha. Derek smiles sadly at him.
"Healed you. Scott, you can't keep doing this. Please let me help. Join me," Derek tells him. Scott looks down, and Isaac holds him closer.
"Let us help you, Scott," The blond tells him. Scott looks at the five and breaks down. Erica rushes to hug her friend. After that, the three teens were always with Scott. At school, Stiles would try to be with Scott, but Isaac stayed close.
"Derek?" Scott asks the alpha. The man looks at him.
"Yes, Scott," Derek answers.
"You know what is between Isaac and I, don't you?" Scott questions him. Derek hums at the question.
"What do you think it is?" He asks the boy. Isaac stands next to Scott. The smaller boy looks down.
"Mate," He whispers. Derek smiles.
"Isaac is your mate," Derek agrees. The blond stands up taller, and closer to Scott.
With Isaac, Scott lets down his walls. Stiles and Allison tried to get Scott alone, but couldn't. Boyd, Erica, and Isaac are always with him.
"Scott!" Allison yells. She wants to know what happened to the boy that loved her.
"Allison," Scott greets her. Erica is next to him.
"What happened to us?" She asks him. She wants to know.
"You wanted to believe what you wanted to believe. You didn't ask questions, and I let you, because I loved you. Your mom tried to kill me, when trying to save Jackson. However, Derek saved me. He's been helping me recover since I got bit," Scott tells her. Erica holds onto his arm. Allison looks at him and sees him.
"Can we be friends?" Allison asks him, and Scott looks at her with sorrow.
"Someday," He tells her, and she nods in understanding.
After that Allison left him alone. Stiles glared at him and left, but that didn't surprise Scott. Stiles never understood why he would hurt himself. When home, Scott would curl into Isaac for comfort.
