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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ7whpB9S2
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyt9NawVn2
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32FTkZb4WR
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4clerUi7
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzjc3YDGc
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjFKJyJrGn
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfjcS7vBOO
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDxzzPTrV
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC2sK56YcC
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ2acNBs3Z
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikyRJKhe2W
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJwlHrpTOm
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEp2OZskHv
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhIu7GKYJd
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFhasVzJNt
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38pawoXvC6
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzENlgVqiT
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZUSjQ4isH
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0MZ6gXM4S
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXGUuRDeln
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ol9WnYzzh
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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX7f5VmJSK
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTYUCwsDlg
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3uEncgDU8
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Ol612GOH
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6yAn5OSxq
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuqGAahvM
An idea pops into my head. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfbPncLSrf
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0PPhz2OXV
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivWy4fmZM
A huge smile appears on my face. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzsv0suMC0
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAKWrJ5IFr
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XjwLfkJ3I
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4enb537nn
(Time skip) 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMZNuZWMMZ
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqep1ATyA2
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQc2gz1az7
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpmFJHrWVU
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEaDiYsCEq
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWEsE9DUtJ
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXue4M6mbA
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ284H8Zp5F9
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8iVE55Yhs
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu771jVJCzG
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxNxkhwR48
“Naomi…” 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxQMAMgJG
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQ8xUfzhq
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWJ9tDYR7C
“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.” 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8PLDAaFAn
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn3QDl0aBC
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRcqAS1q2s
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTA8iZtStL

319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqG7WrvIN5
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzCqRsUQ2T
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl0wQU6KB8
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERp0lmBZ7
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeon1oeog10
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfVs6AGnC3
“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.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjd34U95Id
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBfwfq3IF
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw87653oY7
Oh Naomi. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yBKss0IAv
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU5APHCGa7
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKvTZ6RTHI
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIrKrJdeBG
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUV7jhEBIY
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnkqQYxOy
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjeeGc3xG
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXJn5NyC09
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoSnTGFuBJ
“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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppOOMSbnvO
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. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDkjfaWuzO
I’ll wait however long she needs. 319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1dDRclx9g
