Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 37

~Korosu~
Ash and I were at the park, holding onto each other's hands. It's almost been a year since we started dating, and I'm so happy to be with him. Ash makes me feel something so incredible I cannot explain it in words. We were sitting on one of the benches, at least until he picked me up by my waist and set me on a swing. I giggled softly, watching him smile. Don't freak out. It's okay, you're okay. I'm not going to lie, heights scare the hell out of me. When you fall from a building, you don't exactly think damn, that was fun! Before I even realized what was going on, Ashton had pushed me by my waist, the air surrounding me. I was giggling, his hands grasping my waist occasionally. He won't try to hurt you. It's okay, you're okay. "Wanna go higher?" God no. "Um...why don't we switch, hm?" He nodded, stopping me by my waist. I grasped his hands, looking down. He didn't try to kill me, ash just hugged me from behind. You're okay. You're okay.
~Ashton~
Korosu stood up, leading me around the swing. I kept my hand in hers, sitting down. She crouched down to my eye level, smiling softly. God she's beautiful. Her bright blue and green hair hung loosely behind her head, the ripped jeans she always wears hugging her waist. Korosu's eyes stared back at me, locking her gaze in mine. Without warning, she slowly and passionately kissed me. I pulled her closer, moving my lips against hers, smiling beneath them. I didn't care how many people were watching, Korosu was all that was on my mind. I broke away, breathing deeply. "Ashton..." Her low, sexy voice lured me closer, hand on her neck. "Korosu..." A smile spread across her lips, eyes bright. "Call me Yasmin." Yasmin...her real name? It's so...beautiful. I nodded, still smiling. "Yasmin...such a pretty name." "Thank you ash. I thought you would like to know since it's almost been a year..." I nodded once again, still amazed at how long it's been. "I can't believe it's almost been a year since you tried to kill me." She kept her hands on my waist, rubbing my hips. "I'm sure glad I didn't though..." "Me too! I'm special!"  A giggle escaped my throat, earning one from her as well. "Yes you are baby. Yes you are." I'm so happy I'm still with her. I can't imagine my life without her.
~Korosu~
That night, I managed to fall asleep, unlike usual. My mind raced with dreams, everything blurring together. Old bullies, the lake, murders, but something stopped the slide show of terror. It was Ashton. Not just Ashton. It was his screams. A deep, fearful scream, something all too familiar with me. It's the sound someone creates on their death bed.
"Please baby, don't do this!" Somebody is on top of him, threatening to kill him. I know the face, the hair, everything.
It's me.
I'm the one killing him, tearing apart his muscles, ripping out small and non-vital organs. My dagger plunges into his heart, screams filling the air.

"Ashton!" I jerk awake, breaths unsteady and shaking. I'm not on him, I'm not killing him. Ashton is still alive. Still thriving. If my heart still worked, it would be pounding out of my chest right now. "A-Ashton..." My skin and voice glitch more than they should, then I remember why I was so scared to date him this long.
It's almost April.
No...it can't be...he can't see me like that...
Ashton can't see me when I'm...like that. I could snap, I could kill him. He has to stay away. I can't let him near me. I'll kill him. Then I'll kill myself.
