~Ashton~
So far, things have been going smoothly. Korosu warmed up to the guys, but Luke is still a bit scared of her. We sing amnesia together, joke around with each other, and went on walks occasionally. She didn't tell me how she died though. And I don't think she will. Korosu seems pretty shy sometimes, and others she's a pretty fun and sarcastic person. A week after we started dating, we were walking around the neighborhood once again. Korosu and I had been talking about different things like music or animals or something, when out of the blue she turned to me and spoke. "Ashton, can I show you something?" I looked at her. "Sure." Korosu took my hand, and walked towards a large empty field. I wasn't sure why, but she walked towards the middle of it, and I followed. We got to a large cement block. What is this...? It's probably something sentimental. "Korosu, what is this place?" She had a serious look on her face, and was looking at me. I wonder what this is.
~Korosu~
I took Ashton to the field, and he was right on the cement. He might be kind of frightened, but this is a pretty important place to me. "Ashton, do you know what's beneath that cement?" "No..." I looked down at the cement, then back at Ashton. "Me." He stepped off of the cement. "I'm sorry...I didn't kno-" "it's okay. I just wanted to show you this place. I come here to think when things get to me." He took my hand in his, and held it. Ashton's skin is warm, unlike my own. He looked down at me. "I just felt like you should see this place." "O-okay." I wrapped my arms around him. "It'll be alright Ashton." He put his arms around me, and I was smiling beneath his jacket. Ashton relaxed a bit, and I looked up at him. "Well, let's get out of this field." He nodded, and we walked away from the cement.
~Ashton~
Korosu and I went back to the road, walking along the side. We went back to talking about music, and ended up singing amnesia. Again. Her voice is just amazing, glitches and all. Korosu is a wonderful person, and I'm glad to have her in my life. I don't care if she's a killer, I love her. I really do. I hold her hand as we sing, and intertwine her fingers with mine. Korosu smiled, and we finished the last verse. She smiled, as did I. We continued to walk until Korosu and I reached the house. We went inside, and Mike was sitting at the table. Her eyes were a pale red, and Korosu waved. Mike smiled. "You guys have fun." I took her into my room, smiling. I sat on my bed with her, and put my arm around her. Korosu wrapped her arms around me, and smiled. She was cold like usual, yet I was too. I laid back, and brought her down with me. She put her head on my chest, and I kept my arms around her. Her chest would rise and fall in synch with mine. I really love her. So much. I've said it a million times, but it's true. I really love her.
~Korosu~
I lie on a bed with Ashton, our arms around each other. He was breathing at the same time as me. It was pretty cold out, so I guess I'll be taking the power lines home. As we lay on the bed, my skin warming up a bit, I couldn't stop thinking of how much I love him. He's amazing, and I love him so freaking much. Ashton sat up, as did I. "I better be getting back, I've got some things to deal with." Earlier that week, I met a man by the name of "slender man" and had to meet with him today. Ashton nodded, but seemed a bit sad. He always is when I leave. "Sorry Ashton, but I'll see you later okay?" He smiled a bit. "Okay." I hugged him, and went through the circuit.

Walking through the woods, I kept my dagger at hand. Slender man said I'd work for him, but I denied being a proxy. I was just another killer, yet if I found anybody that had potential as a pasta, I'd bring them back to him. As I walked back, my head decided to mess with me. {you're going to do horrible. You won't be good at this at all.} shut up. {you should just leave everybody. They'd be better off.} Worst part is, they're right. I'm not worth anything. I went back to my apartment, and into my room. I sat in the window pane, and pulled out the flask I keep on the desk. I twisted the top off and drank whatever alcohol was in it. I usually forget what I put in it, but it's most likely vodka. I went on drinking, until I'd forgotten what I was even doing. That night was like usual when the voices and I agree, filled with alcohol and blades. By 2:00 am, I was asleep in the pane with the empty flask next to me and the white paint spotted with blood.
