Hey everyone, sorry for the wait. Heres the third chapter, honestly I rewrote this chapter multiple times cause I didn’t like how it sounded. Hopefully it turned out okay and you all like it. Oh and the song in this chapter isn’t mine obviously, it’s from Angel Beats, Ichi ban no takaramono. One of my favorite songs honestly. Anyways hopefully you enjoy this chapter and again any feedback is a welcome.
Chapter 3
(Mei’s p.o.v)
It's already been two weeks since I started school and met Naomi. And it’s been a crazy two weeks, no surprise there. There’s not one time I had to myself, even going to the bathroom is a pain. I’m constantly surrounded by everyone, the paparazzi are outside the school waiting to take pictures and some have even snuck in just to find me. Even students and some teachers are taking pictures of me. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQiuSi7rUR
Actually there is one time I have to myself and that’s lunch but that’s only thanks to Naomi showing me her hidden spot. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCaZT67ukb
Okay it’s not so much hidden but it’s the only place no one goes to and that’s the school roof. So I somehow manage to sneak up to the roof everyday and Naomi is there waiting for me. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34lAevZf3n
Oh speaking of my Angel, turns out we have the same classes. People have tried to get me to hang out with them and stuff but I always reject them and come up with an excuse as to why I can’t. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbybklDZU0x
Despite all the attention I’m getting Naomi is very understanding when I’m late to lunch or when we both walk in the halls together.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2goke6BN
She doesn’t really say much about anything cause she’s very soft spoken and extremely shy. So it’s mainly me that starts conversations and talks. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have a problem with that in fact I find it very cute and part of her charm. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQef0JcVcTK
Although there is one thing that concerns me and that’s her arms are wrapped in bandages. She thinks I haven’t seen them since she always wears her hoodie but I see them briefly. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMevleIOer
As bad as I want to come out and ask her, I don't want to force her or make her feel like she has to tell me. When she’s comfortable and ready to tell me herself I’ll be ready to listen. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ328dcUfCYn
To be honest I'm already falling for her, like really bad. There’s no point in lying to myself. Which brings us to my current predicament. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuPoijbtpY
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeoDaKSRJ6
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGdbpaj4tt
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuVhP6xGd1
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH9M7sD9Rf
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0FheFtqFJ
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OQMeFHs8X
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWRaYFxQS2
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUF0Eg3teq
“Hey Mei, wanna have lunch with us later? I’ll save you a seat.” I turn around to see Heather, the most popular girl in the school and her group of friends. You probably already guessed it but she’s the one that mainly bullies Naomi and tries to get me to be part of her group. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgTSB2DRrI
No thank you, I have to deal with enough people like her. I see her glare at Naomi who is behind me so I step in front of Naomi giving a fake smile.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ54IOTFmGD
“Thanks for the offer again but I’m gonna have to say no. I’m already having lunch with Naomi.” Her face twitches as she fakes a smile as well. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafQ1gW4B6R
“Oh okay that’s too bad. Maybe next time.” With that she and her group left and I could hear her mutter something under her breath. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScThEsdVak
A big sigh escapes my lips. I wish I could just tell her to leave me alone but I have to keep up an image here.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8hee4lrwo
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL143MHx8z
Who can blame her though her biggest bullie glared at her. Heather won’t do anything to Naomi as long as I’m with her but if for some reason she’s not by my side, I’m scared as to what may happen. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81Cr1Tu2U
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAL6KDkv0t
Without realizing my hand is cupping her face. “Hey don’t worry about her okay? As long as I’m around you don’t have to worry about anyone doing anything to you alright?” My voice is ever so gentle and full of warmth. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDoowRMPm
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuMc4PBwl
An idea pops into my head. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnakh18mdCD
“Hey want a private concert? I know you’ve probably heard me sing but it’ll be just for you. What do you say? How about at lunch?” Her eyes widened a bit. Blue eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgbS4l1Pbd
“It’s because I want to, that's all.” I answer her guessing what she wanted to ask and looks like I was right cause she slowly nods. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSvunibTE9
A huge smile appears on my face. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PZTGTtlaW
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSas8EvTF6c
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeeDSgfsRI
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAa6uXtRhR
(Time skip) 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VIcXRXe5B
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwiAr0GxD
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWcGMF8tN8
I feel butterflies in my stomach and a huge smile appears on my face. “Well I’m glad to see my suffering brings you enjoyment.” I tease walking over to her and sit next to her. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj45XPA4pnO
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeAbpQCV1y
I noticed she was drawing as her sketchbook was out. This time it was a picture of….me? I feel my face heat up and my heart beat faster. It looks so real even for a sketch. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSydXFop0
“I-Is that me?” I gesture to her drawing to which her face reddens even more and she hides her face in her knees only slightly nodding. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHSJZ21M6N
Not knowing what to say silence befalls the both of us. Say something! Anything! Looking over to her my heart breaks at what I see. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVIKcveIKX
Her body trembling in fear and guilt. She thinks I’m disgusted or mad at her drawing me which couldn’t be further from the truth. If anything I'm touched and amazed. Her drawings are so realistic and detailed. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHtphie6CR
I remember telling her that she should post them on the internet but she shook her head no and told me that she’s not confident to show people and that she’s afraid of criticism. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYfxoKD954
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOikyXbbBA
“Naomi…” 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHPVeORtDB
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDmwrRMYET
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YLUF7Ha8Q
“It’s okay Naomi, I’m not mad or disgusted or anything. Promise, if anything I’m touched that you would draw me. Plus I love your drawings, you know that…” I chuckle lightly hoping to lighten the mood. “Your drawings are so beautiful and breathtaking. Not just anyone can draw like that, meaning you’re very talented and special. I don’t care what anyone says, you're amazing Naomi.” 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZD25eTBFb
Sadly Naomi only panics more as she covers her ears muttering I’m sorry and she didn’t mean to. My heart shatters not knowing what to do or what happened. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG6GjDBDI9
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXB2t5kWvX
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ze3k9oZE0

356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVyi9eDNCf
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpc708XKFn
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfXZgdnBkh
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUun8VMZQi
“Don’t worry I'm not judging, there’s nothing to be ashamed about.” It looks like she didn’t fully listen since she just stares at the ground. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSKTzqEe7y
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD320wyE3GE
“I’m not gonna ask until you're ready to tell me okay? So don’t worry. While I am worried and curious I’m not gonna force you to tell me.” Smiling ever so gently at her she gives a weak smile back.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEm3wpVsCd
I hug her again but this time I hold her close and I can feel her tense up but quickly loosen up hugging me back. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5KJk3dZwy
While I’m happy I was able to calm her down, something really concerns me and worries me. That’s what happened to Naomi to make her like this. I try my best to put it to the back of my mind but it’s gonna plague my mind for a while. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkgi6J1BJ3
Oh Naomi. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxEIHkMtGe
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusxZJNDgDR
“So what did you think of the song? It’s one of my recent songs I released but I’ve never sung it live yet.” Quickly trying to change the subject to lighten the atmosphere. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QOCLHHCM8
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdsFtB9g42
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceAFe8ZgMb
“It’s fine you don’t need to say anything. I can already tell what you think.” I smile to reassure her it’s fine. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OOLUDayya
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtruAFowjXo
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR3H4m2Qnf
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazkQ0lEghj
“We should get going.” I stand up with her still holding hands. I glance over to her and give her a smile full of warmth. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdYHLPyRFn
Naomi’s past may be a mystery and a lot of pain but hopefully one day she trusts me enough to open up letting me in. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06pHKSv6l6
I’ll wait however long she needs. 356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PGlIGgHPn
