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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hyF4AjGgD
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevJ9U77anJ
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhsTjZ2P1b
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1DlBI4CLw
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSytC4KUXr
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7sYfAV04v
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPKhvDYchP
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzFfCDRQeb
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwku5zP6Rz7
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG7cqaaE5j
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVUleC3USl
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaHT9PjbpT
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jKcyH3WUC
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnXewkfsTV
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEGYrtc3C
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYbmQtslaV
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrCFjnv94t
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBIAN3IzO1
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKzoCBSz79
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGKSdw3KEs
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWDnrgDsS
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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp0anGXqoC
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7kgOpZFMa
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlytTluh36D
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Hjs9wqZ4
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjAflqkbXy
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcS2rFrfNv
An idea pops into my head. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iSX71WYD6
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTjIzK0Rpf
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6CSwvcq6r
A huge smile appears on my face. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGhBrIaKiH
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvymTO9E44
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWrtt3eCj
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtj36bTqS7
(Time skip) 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nDhP6USY
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEBKLln8iy
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN0ZoR4aBg
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD98cVkzBF
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SChHBigtl
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jk8YWCkHt
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDHtjJTNGN
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYSqtuKBcW
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MXXfq6BOv
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnjgVRSq8B
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4qPJEgKL6
“Naomi…” 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHaOvBhwv
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWVs9TcOTD
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGLkwEFZ3H
“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.” 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKasJ4IHZT
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4KB7MxE3J
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMsXlMxWH0
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafaaUjhp0r

330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fmMReyC5f
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5N8aIGjAJ
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2k077hCsx
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qi8KCRTTC
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC6reqk1WU
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbplSrVp3p
“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.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76W8Ggwxa
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdCpt4mY0D
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBDeJHP2ZH
Oh Naomi. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytm8DdEMQ
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiNyC1IUNZ
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdDG07ljTi
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYRzgxBrnn
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpg0YihtM4
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oaMxZgzHQ
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUJw6XI4Xr
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yqDHPdl1U
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf31KB2YCF2
“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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsDzhYVANV
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. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBhd00wRNP
I’ll wait however long she needs. 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT5xHmuDd1
