~Korosu~
I trust him, but I don't want to tell him. He'll be scared of me. If he finds out I'm dead right now, he will probably think I'm some kind of freak. I was sitting next to him on his bed, looking down. His hazel eyes were looking at my sides, that were shown due to my shirt. My skin was glitching, even beneath the concealer I put over my skin. He's just amazing. I really do like him, if not more. I'd ask him out, but I met him yesterday. I look at the clock at the corner of his room. 1:30. We were outside longer than I thought. Ashton spoke up. "So..." I looked up at him. "So you're part of five seconds of summer?" "Yeah, I've been the drummer for a while now." I wasn't sure what he played. "Nice." "Thanks." He smiled again. Ashton's smile is just so cute. It's nice to see. It's adorable. I smiled back, putting my hands down. Ashton put his hand on top of mine, and I looked down. What is he doing? He put his other hand under my chin, tilting my head up. "What's wrong?" Ashton began moving his hand, and I softly pulled it back, intertwining our fingers. "Nothing at all." I smiled again. He giggled a bit, and I couldn't stop thinking of what to do. Do I keep my hand there? Do I let go? No guys ever done this. I haven't had a boyfriend...or a friend...ever. I'm not really sure what to do. All throughout school, I was quiet. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.
~Ashton~
I'm holding her hand. Don't screw anything up Ashton. Her hands are cold, glitching. It's cute. Should I pull my hand away? I slowly pulled my hand back, and she let go. Korosu looked down, setting her hands in her lap. She sure is quiet now. There was a small crash downstairs. "Sorry!" It was Calum. Probably dropped something. It better not be my drums. I stood up. "I'll be right back. You can come if you want." She nodded slightly, standing up with me. Korosu was a bit shorter than me, not too much though. I walked out with her, and down the stairs. Calum was in the kitchen, and cleaning something off. "What was that?" I asked. "Oh just a pan...or two..." he turned around slowly, and saw Korosu by my side. I looked down at her, only to see the side of her head. She was looking down at the floorboards, her hair over her face. "Uh, ash?" "Yeah?" He looked at me. "Who's she?" "A crazy lady!" Mike called out. I was about ready to throw him through the window. "Shut it mike! This is Korosu, Cal." She waved slightly. He did the same. Well, now it's only Luke who hasn't seen her. Hope he doesn't end up acting like mike.
~Korosu.~
Calum seemed like a nice enough person. Mike, not so much. Don't kill his friend. Don't kill his friend. "Careful Calum. She might try to kill you." Mike just wouldn't shut up. I turned to face him quickly. "Like I'm going to do to you?!" I said sternly. Mike stood up, angry. Don't kill him Korosu. "Go ahead!" Maybe I should. {do it.} I was about to go after him, when somebody grabbed my hand. It was Ashton. "Don't. He's a waste of energy Korosu." I looked up at him, then back at the floor. "Sorry..." I said softly. Ashton looked down at me. "It's okay Korosu." Just calm down. Don't do anything rash. He guided me outside. I followed, and my skin continued to glitch. Ashton shut the door, and we stood outside. "Sorry about mike. He's just a little...hung up over that." "It's my fault Ashton. It's alright." I looked down at the ground, and he tilted my head up again. "It's okay. You're just doing what you're used to doing." I smiled a bit, as did he. He...he's not mad. Ashton Irwin, the first guy to really understand the place I've been put in. Yet, he doesn't know the full story. I don't know if he ever will, and that's kind of a good thing. I don't want to freak him out. I really don't, but I know I will.
