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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwEMIjBv5D
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1A9GfTHHI
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexUQDxmJWt
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOdj7gMNcV
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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO90dQdTz8
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4niN2GnBnh
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bYh7uX9CC
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDytLTFs0di
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6xpiUOURf
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpAjVpXAZB
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZNhjfzINL
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPqRQLeVQ
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywoYXJkoko
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGRZLfBKA
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudKCZO1kvm
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0xTkY4XDd
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnvrPI2t7t
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xirxaGGBE
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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtMStlpTi
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdCdnP2HIX
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWevIRARw3
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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSnJLFDScE
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckprxUuRbr
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTzHGxM76Y
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNYKxwm1mV
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k6Pz07qjL
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPHA1oqVXx
An idea pops into my head. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oG0s5K9iJ
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYuU5jiMB0
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqm81aR724
A huge smile appears on my face. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa4q1rxE1U
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJb1g5w00e
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMgmh5Rs2
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6C4357DEy
(Time skip) 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnNgFSJJTW
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZ2g4ivPd
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtcHlBixY8
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKWREHVOwa
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgdlEJaemV
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitOT5KN9c
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUx9BMIRD7
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb6wuRfIJP
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89DGNyvnR5
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1VyeuqMOY
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkgAmd4EBu
“Naomi…” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXxtVfFpNb
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfNbgVBwgN
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWflZAtE1Q5
“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.” 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFQ3F0IYJC
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhSR5fSChv
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupQvJzdQ8O
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcke1H0UCgR

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtGmb8DPN5
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2sap4Fsmy
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIcPCUi3HQ
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuEWs4Iw2z
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrVcWehbQh
“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.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoWD22sdo3
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnJkWe13xB
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ93ADUKVe
Oh Naomi. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvqsKZQUZ
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuc1YzPVwk
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP05WJsDUpY
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVBhbAmZea
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI7eGZ6QQH
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf3i00JLS0
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4itmOZHmuj
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ucf4uSicS
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF9KjWUF4c
“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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E0Ri4Q63f
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. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgs1WtX5im
I’ll wait however long she needs. 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUd4aszoD
