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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQODrwptW8K
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMskkGRksw
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIpgZNJIGY
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf0LJWsYzX
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.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJtChiWC5V
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0SXzAmQ9G
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rFwmjtML
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2seALfqDW
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWFZTfuZ6e
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT6IazZZFu
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1Kihhn0AM
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLpZl1eZ2
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT20qNWfxF
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUbckuZ6h6
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2U5KN6ldH
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1tuFOXgE6
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t9UyXDrxv
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsWnHHpmOW
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.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jQffjqbw
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpGB3InJ7O
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaIjYRwdRo
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.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0FqOZERNU
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwhUIY2sNW
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QW1dKLJzz
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnKjoVmdp1
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEdN4h1ulC
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUuAIU7Wp8
An idea pops into my head. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuuM74CNNw
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPksk4f4o4l
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHYpgU1p2z
A huge smile appears on my face. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXM0pmCU41
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iQVKXnJtT
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JaVIO7RbT
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T5j73Aj88
(Time skip) 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQB2iX15ca
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u1CQ80HJM
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZdzMK85QM
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmemQ0hLVV
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp48sZOmVxl
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPMubCQy0H
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcMh0oeUIb
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kxBudZZkD
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WJxRiXaOE
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6pB22I321
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ccIrqNuI
“Naomi…” 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqWYtwtnUg
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt6fNi53iO
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtud2097R9W
“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.” 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGQgkVvluV
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkaqSvdeDi
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMI7dvA5g4
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBtVU5N79

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcEqtPzS8B
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyOP5ZqlA8
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtJk3mTm2J
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGprbJupu5g
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaYnpCv77M
“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.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdngaOG3A
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhV64e3jGk
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NDs5Et18
Oh Naomi. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG8CLWxsnm
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhSP1MW6I1
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhywgg3qdv6
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbbO2VEwBS
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECWj36qndo
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r2trc2Sfq
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZS4ahvCdp
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAg12p5kQF
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURWVOIUVKc
“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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUsthkFem
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. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdi5eYy6ZB
I’ll wait however long she needs. 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrapeAYMxk2
