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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiaIekoV2S
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5A2J0Cusv
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdO73Tw1IL
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRbxOieUzY
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjgFMRqkVy
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfON7eXGvqy
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrMflU8dm9
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5HcTxBfzi
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74xLZ1dRF8
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxboQ2Hn5C
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcgWwt1lzF
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8mrZAwr0
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Fl72ldb3
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjTrOeJguL
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKFN7KpDV
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkwVrVL0n2
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z0EBcTCia
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrrRAdK69j
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo90ZcerGu
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheusROEod2
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsaEMTzvQh
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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39T621v0mN
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TJpdTQjty
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0s2W6ccAF
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Atlyno40x
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EPeAap5oc
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4wbv9iRWr
An idea pops into my head. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJNDhp8nSl
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uYO8B5kEn
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sDP7pboel
A huge smile appears on my face. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqx4NQqsUI
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBDFC4zQ4H
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERtdUG57F8
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs0Pf2bcSv
(Time skip) 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPlR9ngSz
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXwmIPqe9N
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJsQ1ePQDh
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA2OzvAq2R
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLN88ynTaw
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpqFIK4Q3
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpD9YsH8ik
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1F3SR8G80
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL5Hk5fSrB
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjdVURpDPo
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1fJxTlQNs
“Naomi…” 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQL6Jx3Sf
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblnzvC5CQ4
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjucBDoppdR
“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.” 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaqK00NW4K
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiOsXtDkpj
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbVDU7SH3y
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgGW8UbWy

595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YsxmcZqfT
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc34neMYfMW
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSklfnq21b
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mdi36tkjV
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjsYZd2Fyu
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRQfM6LHZf
“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.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5PSF5QbT
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARxAJUrvzs
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfSveiAoZR
Oh Naomi. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0A0oE86up
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJsbhXiDg
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdkdwA5wiA
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S8IzpzM0r
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1am0gcIXX
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxOuKFg4jt
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVupr1fgyeN
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15idd4tbf4
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QJBmCiQ86
“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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK7Z0IvzOL
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. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLya2G965z
I’ll wait however long she needs. 595Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6PZEVoVAj
