Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 12

~Ashton~
After last night, none of us slept that much. Around noon, I woke up. My hair was messy, and the house was silent. They must be sleeping. I trudged out of bed, and took a shower. After I got out and dressed, I fell back onto my bed. Unsure of whether or not Korosu would come back, I took out my laptop. Everything was in order, no signs of anything or anybody inside. One question roamed my mind. Korosu told me she's a spirit. That means she's dead...right? And if so, how did she die? I decided to ask her next time I saw her, if I ever saw her again. Hoping I would, footsteps emitted from the hallway. Somebody had woken up. I heard a small groan. Mike. It's probably mike. I stood up, and heard my phone vibrate. Who's texting me? I looked at the screen, and saw an unidentified number. The text read:
"Hi Ashton. This is Korosu."
How did she get my number? Wait...idiot. She can go through technology, of course she'd be able to get my number. I responded.
"Hi."
She was quick about texting back.
"Do you want to hang out today?"
Hell yes. I'm glad she wants to see me again.
"Sure! Want to hang out here?"
I don't care if they don't like her anymore. She'll be with me.
"What about mike?"
"He won't mess with you. I'll make sure of it."
"Okay. I'll see you around 1:30 maybe?"
"Okay."
I put up my phone and walked out of my room. I went downstairs, and looked at the clock. 12:30. About an hour. I sat down eating some cereal, and mike was at the table. Luke was sitting on the couch with Calum, and they all seemed tired. "Hey Ashton." Luke rubbed his eyes. "Hey Luke. You sleep at all?" "Kinda." I shrugged, and ate for a bit. Calum turned the TV on, and the news had a segment on it.
"Numerous police officers murdered last night, one suspect." The top of the screen had the words in bold print. A news woman was speaking.
"Breaking news, a large squad of police officers were murdered last night around 11:30 PM. It is believed the suspect is a serial killer with many cases against them. It is also believed due to evidence gathered that the suspect is a female around the age of nineteen." Is this on... "half of the squad was electrocuted, the other half stabbed to death. The words "you died" were written in blood on the ground at the scene." That's Korosu. Mike, Calum, Luke and I were staring at the screen. "Told you she's crazy." "And I told you to shut up mike." Shaking my head, I turned around. "Ashton, that's..." "yeah, that's her." Calum clicked off the TV. Luke seemed pretty scared. "That girl...will she come after us?" "Doubt it, unless mike pisses her off." He looked at me. "In my defense, she tried to kill us." I put my bowl in the sink, and started washing the dishes. "Just shut up and get ready. We have to practice today. We've got some concerts to get ready for." Mike sighed and walked out, as did Calum. Luke was just sitting on the couch, terrified. "She's not going to kill us?" "No Luke, she won't kill us. I was just messing with mike okay?" "Alright." He left the room, and I did as well after finishing the dishes.
~Korosu~
Putting on a hoodie, I put the rings in my lip. I like wearing them, so I always put them in. Ashton said he'd be fine with me coming over, and I don't care about Mike anymore. I left my dagger here, doubting that I'd need it. I slipped on some jeans and converse, and left my hair down. Walking out of the apartment, I decided to go through the lights again, just to make them jump a bit. I'll tell ya, Luke's reactions are the best. I walked down the road, looking at the wires above me. I remembered that night, and thought of how I left the scene. Enough for the news reporters to make a big deal out of. Nearing the house, I went into the wires. At least he'll know I'm here. It'll still be fun though. I chuckled, and went towards the house. The lights weren't on, but something else was. An amp. That'll suffice. Going into the amp, I heard them playing amnesia. This song is everywhere. I distorted the sound, and they all stopped playing. Luke looked scared, and Ashton's eyes lit up. "She's here!" "Really ash?! Why do you keep letting your psychotic girlfriend co-" "she isn't my girlfriend! And deal with it mike!" I came out of the amp, and mike scoffed. Calum looked at me, and Luke was pretty scared. "It's alright Luke, I'm not going to hurt you." I smiled at him, and glared at mike. Ashton set down his drumsticks, and walked over to me. "I came at a bad time right?" "Actually on time. You can listen to us practice though!" He smiled, as did I. Mike shook his head, and I moved. Ashton sat down on his drum stool, and they began playing. I listened to them, and didn't recognize the song, until they sang the chorus.
She looks so perfect standing there
In my American apparel underwear
And I know now
At that I knew it was a song called "she looks so perfect." It was a good song I guess. Lyrics didn't mean that much, but they weren't garbage. They went on playing various songs, and sounded amazing. As they finished, I smiled. "You guys sound great." "Thanks!" Luke smiled, as did Calum and Ashton. Mike looked up. "Thanks..." "no problem." Ashton stood up again. "Well Korosu, I don't know if you've really met any of these guys." "Not really." I looked around, holding the bottom of my sleeve in my hand. "Well let's change that shall we?" "Alright." I smiled, looking at the rest of the band.
