Default A full tank never comes free

So today my aunt wanted me to drive her somewhere and was going to pay for a full tank of gas. On my way to the gas station, I'm at a red light and hear an odd sound but thought it was the car next to me. About half a mile later, my temperature shoots up and I lose power steering. My water pump went out and took my serpentine belt with it
