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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGRqDVSlII
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZjv80SWGq
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYxLnZVnj1
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxAo18SsG
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9F9EnKy9x
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhoKxJhh86
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2cymL2l3I
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOTz8SoQIq
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZXgeQWZzc
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FLtVR6B8S
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzPqZnWqd
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkSjYj2Ca0
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuzXLzd4m9
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAATtKGERl
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasJdAf2cFR
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQZy0LjEM
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUo5SeunM7
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5qN0kGqCp
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgRmuAQOMS
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhoJL1tWAE
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ztVrbM6q8
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5NlIrqTW
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj5nvjEcZC
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EaX8b3RIZ
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJGAt4zd3
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQISiEtY79E
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPDRLcaS3y
An idea pops into my head. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzBJLtX1cH
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLJ1DZ8Bh7
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFromfh2M
A huge smile appears on my face. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbVhIUKffr
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7juhUei1rE
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJAzhC3Mtx
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38DMLdZPHt
(Time skip) 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Pae7YHhS
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZibbSHrB12
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHp5tpnc6
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBVec8Z3I
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8bYCkMqoa
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Ltz4Njoy
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGKvCT0ONg
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRK8Nr8rKm
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJoJihEBoo
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzC78E7aII
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEyGAbf0j
“Naomi…” 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqppaxjUta
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbIjBXOD5P
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRqoKB7PDc
“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.” 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt3qYJmtG5
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJm1G8tO6
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXjMOYMSGD
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9P8tIJarM

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nXzX9jtdn
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCILHTKRDtv
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ5kquCerP
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmaluZlV4y
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB2OoJ0cMB
“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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgrHUnsbk
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjerBQkPjhl
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5KwfVHijM
Oh Naomi. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVSdykjwrq
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5fwxWNULZ
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU50Ne22uy
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dOoEJsXsu
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j7hObNCpA
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYujL4Dq8b
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU4V11O1h5
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXNV3TtlH
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh6pRUHSU0
“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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YA0girfhg
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. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY2cNPTT4n
I’ll wait however long she needs. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfwi1Qsa2P
