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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhUmJhM7aQ
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTcRGYBZUd
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLg7SBVINa
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8aNsLZ57
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTNUlxrC4O
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDpklcxwFU
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGevcOVQGA
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TIM4hdqO
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gNxzndRbE
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBrQH6pzn2
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZunEzCN0nU
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmExMGgT3C
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P2wI44fPV
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBmAxfXSuy
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCPIMbqse
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XLz16hA2b
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKKZpaKXaD
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkthXkerT2c
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcebJPoYv0
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMMqWUtn7d
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG6t4VTn0w
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7yISwNit9
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNkjxRkeRl
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYzm6KNV5
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm2QwTL4c8
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yc70xFFdy
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLklz6bwSy
An idea pops into my head. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAp8B37eVi
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s3xNSQqW7
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR3a9vtnwP
A huge smile appears on my face. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnDz7lclaR
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7P2epjyXe
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksLYmCsPvS
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuAujWhtb
(Time skip) 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ3Tq2Xoqb
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ3Aj3b0CB
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeGEraMny3
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIck3Fttbo
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgl2taHB6M
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamLxlN8wc
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZNaHkMDU4
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy8e80Fe3l
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgtPkGZwAT
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEX82LqEZe
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVKe7IUoDr
“Naomi…” 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGaukVBAjD
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bE8XW2Zjt
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f4FJgf2zI
“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.” 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVc08H1oc2
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYNXKCbg5r
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxF1rtEHt
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxw7ziZb7J

287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNwxQcJCLk
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeQdyyf2Bu
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyrsupNMa
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiG9A8QB9A
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfD3vqRY4X
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtYr1c5KZi
“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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaOAVty9Sl
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00Gr5598DG
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FVFeZpZuN
Oh Naomi. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZHwHemtOP
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs3kOfpkVC
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNz3YxwIh
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJSzHnBaBk
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQTsW0mZBd
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvVPYly4xY
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iFeo8sMpF
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEyUYi1fkk
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkZ0HuI2GX
“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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVZIQplh6x
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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrIxculmEb
I’ll wait however long she needs. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhGHk2OiFU
