Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 13

~Ashton~
I stood by Korosu, and hoping I'd be able to let her warm up to Mike, along with Calum and Luke. She seemed to be less shy around them now, so that's a start. "So...Korosu?" Just calmly ask her. "Yes?" "You said you're a spirit, right?" Korosu nodded. "So you died?" She looked up at me, and back at the floor. What is she not telling me? Mike, Calum, and Luke were looking at her, as was I. She had the sleeve of her hoodie in her hand, and her blue and green hair covered her face. I wonder why she doesn't want to tell us if she's dead.
~Korosu~
He'll just reject me...like everyone else. {who would want to be friends with you anyways?} I know, just shut up! I was looking at the ground. He just asked me if I'm dead...do I tell him? I don't want to scare him...or anybody else. Yet I can't lie to them, losing their trust would be worse. "Korosu? Is everything okay?" Ashton had been looking at me, so had the other guys. I tilted my head up, looking at him. "Yeah..." I quietly sighed. "Yes...I'm dead." And here comes the rejection. What happened next surprised me. Ashton smiled, looking down at me, and spoke. "That's pretty badass in my opinion." I smiled up at him. "Thanks..." Luke and Calum were both grinning, and Mike seemed intrigued slightly. They aren't pushing me away... "How did you die?" Luke asked. My thoughts turned, and I stood still. Don't think about it... Every time it comes up, my head decides to break me down, and I usually end up killing someone. "Uh...I um..." {she fixed her family. Tell them she did. Tell them.} no...just shut up. {she did fix her family. You were the mistake in everyone's lives. Just tell them.} no...shut it. Just stop talking. {Like I'll listen to you.} I looked down, straight at the ground. Trying not to end up killing someone, I was slightly mumbling. Ashton looked a bit concerned, and his band members were all looking at me.
~Ashton~
I don't know what's going on, but I have a feeling it isn't good. Luke asked how she died, and Korosu froze. I slowly took her hand, leading her outside. Once we were outside, Korosu was mumbling something. I'm not really sure what it was though. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" She looked up at me. Shaking her head a bit, she smiled. "It's fine." "Are you sure? Seems like something's bothering you." Korosu nodded. "I'm alright." I smiled softly, and hugged her. Her body is really cold, but not too bad. She wrapped her arms around me, and I kept mine on her back. She broke away after a minute or two, smiling. Mike called out from the garage. "And you say she's not your girlfriend." "Shut up mi-" "oh just get over here." I walked back to the garage with Korosu, and Luke looked at her. "I'm sorry. I didn't know-" "it's okay Luke. I'd just rather not talk about it is all." I realized I still had her hand in mine. I let go, and she smiled at me. Calum chuckled. "You guys are cute." "Cal, just play your bass." He shrugged, and went back to playing. Korosu looked up at me. She looks so cute. Wearing an oversized blue hoodie and two silver rings in her lip, she looks just adorable. I just want to ask her so bad. So damn bad. No, don't say anything... I really want to ask her, but I don't want to scare her.
~Korosu~
His friends are really nice people. Even Mike. They all didn't freak out when they heard I'm dead. Ashton actually likes that I'm dead. I really like Ashton, and I've fallen for him bad. Don't ask him out, you'll scare him. I think you've put a bit too much on him already. I didn't realize I was staring at the floor. I looked up, and Ashton was too. Should I go? "Ashton...should I...should I leave?" He looked at me. "Can you stay?" Mike wasn't saying I should go, Luke and Calum weren't either. "Uh...I guess so." He smiled, and nudged my hand. I could tell what he wanted to do, and he slowly grabbed my hand. Mike looked at Ashton. "Just ask her already." Ask me what? To go out with him? No...I don't think he would. He glared at mike, them looked back at me.
~Ashton~
Ask her. Do it Ashton. Just Ask her. If I told you I wasn't nervous, I'd be lying. Korosu looked up at me, and I turned to face her. I guided her out of the garage, and kept her hand in mine. "Is everything okay Ashton?" Just say it. Say it. "Willyougooutwithme?" I ran my words together. "I'm sorry, what was that?" I sighed. "Will you go out with me?" She looked down a bit. I know she's going to say no.
~Korosu~
Ashton just asked me to be his girlfriend. Should I say yes? I don't want to ruin his life... I looked back up at him. "Yes Ashton. I'd love to." His eyes lit up, and I smiled. He wrapped his arms around me, and kept them there. I put mine around his chest. Smiling, I thought of what the others would think. Will Mike still want me to leave? And what about Luke and Calum? I finally stopped caring and just hugged him. Ashton looked down at me, and I tilted my head up. "You look really cute." I chuckled a bit, smiling. "Thanks Ashton." "Call me ash." He was smiling. "Alright." He pulled away a bit, and I let go. This guy is just amazing. I hope that this goes well.
