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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYi5Xu0zU
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqgrLx3NNa
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sfPlERNVB
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRsExhP8F
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.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk1fCLPDRI
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLwd6ZJmI9
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pAYPLtlnX
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0X9stTkhL
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWHpi8Rb7x
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwBnWj6hZ5
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kYS2xWJQw
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cJkUuZfqv
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfeeImyfBu
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WkZhG48id
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtZIGgMIZu
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03u8tzUcx
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3jUIyTtMA
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JC24Ph398
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.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEpq7BUmEY
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6zkPEzmU5
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjftfLroSO
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.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VZ3QuAQu
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pCREYgczG
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDGTjdPLQY
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ex6C50euL
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqEAeP1mWc
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTeoCIBOxe
An idea pops into my head. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbHJwuzfk0
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwhkkVRko
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrRRGai28H
A huge smile appears on my face. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zqsmtya1
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePkBHqKQHj
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvNAVIL2P
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj2FyZKVVJ
(Time skip) 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV8bSTUABZ
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K20XhJqlh
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlKgNjMYrv
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ip6tD1c8
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3fpZnOb1
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTjRzlFaHY
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgzyhTu1iK
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97d6YAsSAu
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoxm2KqPgS
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rMisAqwYy
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6MBEkXcBW
“Naomi…” 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeePajQfhl4
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82ZrFiWQf
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUu3aiA3EL
“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.” 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdFrb4482T
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9ouK2UG3
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMkyyInKrB
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDHn2rabWV

296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TxP24vs7i
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAaQZjWJLh
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEc8NdwxH8
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwS0VxfWgr
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkjeInsRdb
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JDgvdrQWA
“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.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXPPZBe9xo
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaQlohA6on
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IFrf5WOnX
Oh Naomi. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvosknahgTX
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAcTk6UfjM
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxOYviHioi
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC0jxUb6ki
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qlmSL5po3
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLgfZhLUo
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGSsVVEmjH
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mC2REbFPV
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gl5NvrV6l
“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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ev5LlqscU
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. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0tDbC3ZD4
I’ll wait however long she needs. 296Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz9g6JX9YJ
