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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcvOQRJslH
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62QLvws4gF
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Gqlwc8wH
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH954mPl4Z
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdqFnN8Trf
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoGpyhFpS9
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtRfFQtfh
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskIAlXNx50
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnWGT6FUQz
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzvdzUlAmI
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan6PVWgcgL
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr38pj1PSc5
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCsQDsK3ZU
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd4XxMu4m8
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi0lkJ2L6P
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt91cZQFEpi
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlWLVI2JaG
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCOPw6Sfml
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPk4hz15C4
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSr3vWC1Uo
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa58Yb3jEei
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvgAKVE95W
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK7eiZWHK1
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoOyXDT5iK
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Hi9L25Kc
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnNQdpfe1W
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRZFNMdcr
An idea pops into my head. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSTI0QHcjA
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLs773LRSs
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3awkfsaoQ
A huge smile appears on my face. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXstQEgeBOh
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIdh0PCGTc
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzbRTMc89P
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqWb68JG1H
(Time skip) 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMmS7AoNaO
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4xN8MPkGg
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7dwohy8hr
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTLnaaa71I
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHba1X4142
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy9gBtoknu
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafrkKQgdbM
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XnNkMKjWx
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kivTxMRzv
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu95j05Mfc
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHmfPdUPTY
“Naomi…” 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EpxmVrG4C
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnMhrA8Rcn
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI72XZLUP7
“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.” 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD1UZH4sNo
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGRKJaksT9
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWsAh8RQOU
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7TikdcNl

380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWUKliTPsD
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuPF71doME
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzqeAjTPLX
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKl0fwJpTo
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAaxDyFcy4
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjFDmspJP2
“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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEul9QkGqD
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO3F24VCaK
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvGh8EQbS
Oh Naomi. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYtEWnCKD9
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGgx85Xypk
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BWQat1ua5
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9m7xgx4kS
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SrkKi4xx6
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb26aH88eAv
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXre3VrktC
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiPUn8geOI
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7lpLLTmuY
“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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjlCyAfjNZ
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. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufusuuNmuC
I’ll wait however long she needs. 380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQseVlhlqk
