~Ashton~
Okay, now I'm worried. Kor-um...Yasmin is keeping something a secret from me. She told me she's busy, and when she came over, her nerves were getting the best of her. Yasmin kept checking her phone, looking back at me, then check the time again. What's going on? Is she cheating on me? I took her out of the room where everyone was, putting my hands on her shoulders. "Babe, what's going on? Why won't you tell me?" She just shook her head, avoiding my gaze. "It's nothing." Her voice wasn't glitching as much, neither was her skin. Something's going on, and I need to find out what.
~Korosu~
I'm running out of time. It's almost 5:28, and Ashton keeps getting worried. "Look, I'm not doing anything to worry you baby." I lightly hugged him, tapping my toe against the ground. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, rubbing my back. "I'm just worried is all." I can feel the pain in my forehead, and damn it's strong. It's started. I have to leave now. "Um, I've got to go baby, I'll see you later!" Hand on my forehead, I tried to leave. Ashton grabbed my hand, pulling me back. "No you're not, tell me what's going on!" I shook my head, hoping my forehead wouldn't bu-
Crack
I felt the warm blood against my hand, knowing it had cracked open. "Bye Ashton!" Almost running, I went out the door, keeping my hand on my forehead. He followed me, grabbing my arm from behind again. "Please tell me what the hell is happening!" I slightly turned towards him, but kept my body facing forward. "Let me leave ash, please." My hand was starting to shake, my skin a solid color instead of glitches and a pale white. "Fine. Go." He reluctantly left me, going back into the house. I got out of the yard as quick as possible, holding my hand to my forehead. The bleeding wasn't subsiding, it seemed to be getting worse each second. The pain is a completely different story. My head feels like it will crack apart any moment, blood practically gushing at this point. My body is shaking, blood running down my face. I can barely take this anymore, but a completely different hell is waiting for me.
~Ashton~
I'm pacing in the kitchen, deciding what to do. She won't tell me, but I know whatever's going on is happening now. I can't take it anymore. Picking up my phone, I dial her number and wait for her to pick up. When she finally does, relief and worry wash over me. Her voice is shaking, no glitches present. "Hello?" "Yasmin, where the hell are you? Please, let me help you with whatever's going on!" She pauses for a minute, then replies. "O-okay...can I meet you outside the house?" "Yes, I'll be out in a minute!" She quickly hangs up, as do I. Running out of the house, I stand in the yard, seeing Yasmin. She has blood running down her face, brown hair replacing her long blue and green locks. Her skin is different, along with her eyes. They are hazel instead of red. Something else is different about them. They have something within them. Fear. I pull her into a hug, the blood didn't matter to me. "I'll help you with this, I promise." She nodded, keeping an arm around me. We began walking down the street, the bleeding getting worse as each second passed. I quietly whispered reassuring words in her ear, rubbing her shoulder. I don't have the slightest clue what's going on, but I know damn well it's terrifying for her.
~Korosu~
The memories flood back into my mind, voices taunting me as each excruciating second passes. My mother pushing me from the window, my fathers harsh beatings, the large gash on my back, everything. The blood won't stop flowing, running down my face and neck. I don't care about the blood, the pain is even worse. It causes my body to shake, arm wrapped around Ashton. He continues to stay by me, not leaving my side. Through everything that's going on, the image in my mind is clear.
"I deserve this." My head hits the ground, but I don't die. I'm just unconscious. Dad is laughing, looking down at my bleeding body. My parents drag my body to the field, burying me in the cool earth. As I wake, I crawl from my grave, but somebody stabs me from behind. The knife rips apart my body, causing it to drop. Ashton stands there, expressionless.
~•~
Eventually, everything came to a halt. The pain, bleeding,visions, appearance change, all of it. Ashton looked down at me, slightly smiling. "Thank you for staying with me baby..." I was still frantic to leave, knowing what was going to happen next. I didn't want to hurt him, even if that meant leaving him.
