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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IR1vsylc0
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSyP2WX3b
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvP9ITnwFe
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6jXHPCLnh
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQ0thvK6M
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxyePktWR
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqoK7RKstY
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wLQSIo3HV
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXt0KWulU9
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf31kseQeR
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVne0uKnTiT
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBdH1OkDQz
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxVmQ9HtkR
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbErsCEqpT
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93SMfQfrxg
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilmgcriIAS
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3MgmItffc
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zUKSUB7oL
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1adbOmDRF
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t96zgyGaZ
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UyDLdPyPB
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMmkKQyutT
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMqKzRCxSW
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXicHuMrY8
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCZteZ5NfO
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEuhDJUxwr
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OQALP6kis
An idea pops into my head. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQEjon1HI
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdBNDY9TtT
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xw1ZJn2IO
A huge smile appears on my face. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7WNffvoS
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDFASpq5KH
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL9FdPCtp4
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WFsEYM2Dy
(Time skip) 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvS1cLFvqp
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44DgGvZ6X
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zp1csF4N7
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkQuokmrvO
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4AvmZmaIb
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqU5VkHGwa
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5dFKXI9SE
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdR26EI5ko
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIE6JOH8me
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffkWsZnkQY
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCN7z9vnCO
“Naomi…” 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkY95Of33R
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa87HVzi4lZ
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTJZg7N1kO
“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.” 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHuvp2nT8Q
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V0I7mgKi4
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg1gGck3aG
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQAAKi0H0f

405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggP9IZhG7D
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hrM4HDEA4
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgNGUXATlM
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNIJKipreL
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdbjMZqiz
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1KtPYeeoi
“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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50NefyngnU
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHN7nWMIL
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16JA5ZjOg
Oh Naomi. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc6nyetQFE
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WfL00p4gk
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObm97lNQGc
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG29ewSQ4dJ
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMXf3woC6p
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49rBvCGeKd
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2EZcXGM0s
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCQZ5OG7qT
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Yx7HHVke
“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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXoagxpD7
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. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsQyBGCzZF
I’ll wait however long she needs. 405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLlujEz2EX
