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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBUNvKNZF1
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwzB2zQZCi
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPran7xDXMp
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHMIYfjiWX
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MG3t0szXH
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2iAloJBT
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvd9UupgtK
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6aBXTxh4A
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFVCXwoMzI
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuUowcPet2
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GK7Oe7GQe
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7D62bZyR
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW9I4z2h0O
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIXIXGsV1G
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8OwSKiWxX
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamWPfObOP2
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMDfjthrwA
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MMVDpYT9a
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasMsOkmBH5
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpaYMHpIvO
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3cfysbth0
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCoipvvlX
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv1VEuCcEs
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXcoyn9hP
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao2yXnIePI
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIDUkX5xHb
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXGvTjqoFw
An idea pops into my head. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBm92Us9fv
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGcSYFi5US
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZjIznGI6A
A huge smile appears on my face. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalBuOmD2iq
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJVHnKtxc
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0VujIyb8O
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMNKZ2VtQx
(Time skip) 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF61E7WfZvG
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QvSnMfae3
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaqHPLzOcp
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAouiLNxD
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINhVc9C2gZ
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9wSXiVEu
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIvtxMgjRS
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fR6FZO9kN
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWhEy5b0rv
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZanSDUMJ
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujoZZoX7lp
“Naomi…” 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3w23RwK0P
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTlL5d3SBs
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0qnaK9hgF
“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.” 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgRyYVHhzC
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIIgvVv3yD
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin2sAXSq32
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJX8PYeqrD

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBhApDYxrW
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXHgKMKeV9
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA3KwuVfEt
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiwnMbyRQ
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqJpbH7pT7
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aMCc8UcS9
“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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSwE6uXN1
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu75Re2cz2
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EmoGwW8ur
Oh Naomi. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC00jeu3vL
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqPNrsujbD
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51E2x6mJ5n
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiruYWYgB0
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L46VeTbrF
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6dFvAFkJx
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YktFzVVAK
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkqw6YcWo
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEAmj8qaH4
“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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC4pmKNVDw
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. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxFyZmLYaO
I’ll wait however long she needs. 358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyPtJLMgZv
