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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HhXWth8bF
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsAbCrJikO
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk2WvlpnVk
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv7047rZ8y
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDyDQtFZ2
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TDRHBbsib
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2fJb8zxAo
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCF0DVp04
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtl2lcKsuc
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH4QtfNWrM
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYZ8e1DSla
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiXfi1DDib
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJ9hXVrr4
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy7tRdqiV9
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9wNiqJHtz
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVUYvwoBdw
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI6jd1TIqd
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQE1UVrjDO
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDB1GlgOs5
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmwjquDnCO
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiH2F4NfeI
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zEQzDzEsY
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZrQp6ZMO
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nu4zu9amC
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPm4PfqEv
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cG4cpSZwQ
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVdBLsSDPa
An idea pops into my head. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWHAqXGDP
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Ht1idsY2
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg74IjnCxn
A huge smile appears on my face. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCEyTfFhJ6
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZ6d7GwBL
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGx7MBWXlO
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGwcENY7ST
(Time skip) 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxsl9WeZcT
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw55TJwJHr3
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVTB894vzW
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4ChQxEw6
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZxtxFs2AW
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcxs3k7o1f
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTw2QOSJ32
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMnx48aI3Z
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIx30c7bXk
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ229GIOwP6T
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxdPprOpmT
“Naomi…” 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hM4WIGFR0
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnpD8KcJr
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AmpZq39zi
“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.” 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPZ3zB03iI
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8qO3uTpN
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAMrjNqgQD
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X2jjYKehg

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGAHVxzZob
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vybVy0TZQ
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea9EF6nj29
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1C5vKFAN5
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqfeAHD56b
“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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIr8RXnthG
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWh2RUuMGh
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4W3DYF94B
Oh Naomi. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET0z8k53ux
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oVJIYMEON
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rh6f9H0Ne
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDFft8uIqe
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOQeZIF2PN
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b5QUgEvyK
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pdxu5wUgm
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU8tI5LR1k
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPlL7Wb9j8
“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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoQxQocjyX
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. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd71FRySCNk
I’ll wait however long she needs. 375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wsKNcNCK
