<div style="text-align: justify;">Becca felt her heart race and her palms sweat. How the hell would she explain a werewolf to her roommate? Sure, Sarah was a great person and a good friend, but... damn. No matter how good of a friend someone was, you couldn't explain away a... creature that shouldn't exist. So, the only way to make this situation at least salvageable was to get Ash out of the living room. Right away.<br/><br/>As soon as Ash was out of sight, Becca took a deep breath. Everything was fine. Sarah wouldn't see him, at least not in his other form. She wouldn't have to drag anyone else into this already complicated situation. She was so relieved she didn't even notice the scratch on the carpet. <br/><br/>When her roommate finally made her way in, Becca was in the kitchen, drinking some water to try and calm down. She turned around and smiled, still a bit tense. "Hey, girl", she greeted. "Thank God you brought food, I hadn't had the time to go shopping. Let me know what my share is", she carried on, moving to take the bag off her friend's hands. "Here, let me take care of this, while you tell me what you have been up to".<br/><br/>Becca's roommate voice sounded afterwards. She had a firm, but friendly voice when she spoke. "Not much. Visited with mom, then dad, then my bro...".<br/><br/>Sarah's voice disappeared, and Becca, who was busy placing bags on the kitchen counter, froze.<br/><br/>"Uh, Becca... what's that?", Sarah asked cautiously, pointing at the clothes on the couch.<br/><br/>"Nothing", the word popped out of Rebecca's lips before she could even think. Nothing? Of course it wasn't nothing. There was something on the couch. A male's clothes. And she would really have to figure out a way to explain that. "Yeah, I, hm, I should take these to my room. And we'll just pretend this never happened", she stated tentatively, with a nervous chuckle.<br/><br/>"Oh, no, we won't", her friend replied, much to Becca's horror. "I want to meet Mr. Naked Guy... as soon as he has his clothes on, of course".<br/><br/>Becca kicked herself mentally and cursed Ash's distraction, before picking up his clothes and forcing a smile. "Okay, fine, I'll... er... yeah, I'll take these to him". As she finished her sentence, Becca was already marching to her bedroom, her heart nearly jumping out of her chest. Entering her bedroom, Becca closed the door and looked at Ash, tension clear both in her expression and her scent. "You need to... you know... change back, and get dressed", she murmured, despair filling her voice.</div>
