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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhZtzGXvX
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiI989cCGq
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLePOgyp5o
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC5CeI5edj
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.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30XUkdJSy
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBFfAR4fmJ
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3zxpciy4b
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSwjQnvBrS
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2XHEOylcx
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvKNJcdkq
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZllRcBMwv
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqgmDLuNX4
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcgRe0mHRI
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78p54V4s06
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyFs4GhJp3
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElhf22o9LP
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ZIsNcL3M
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwY9AFPNhd
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.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLAmL5g1Xb
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzTaXH1d4A
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQZ6Yxg0z3
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.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yf7iTkQjO
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBYTPCcl02
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTrubwEzJB
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpYGePLPpv
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjq6V1TX06
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f1yvKW1qf
An idea pops into my head. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnJ88khssN
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTrPZavIM
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswLo67uWk5
A huge smile appears on my face. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFkHbX2aW
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKRTCG2Uza
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvSMxQKghM
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXcN18Qc0
(Time skip) 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbFIbX8txh
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCuIHgTMO2
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmUgNjrqDd
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYX4fLUdYr
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES7VcdEXAO
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UQ27Sxkwu
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCHeUhCuey
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bpDy8FZbr
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjSKzgupp
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9IzOUaY8Q
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVp7GsgHy
“Naomi…” 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhHpsVhzQj
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ295As7us1R
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwFP5Zwl4A
“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.” 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvpAVJhgsx
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxrCu7EaDJ
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMruHSyISUL
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg9KVCTZ5M

329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WYsuP8zU
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4B7wxuZzp
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOwhcIFvMd
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimgoSKR3r2
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqnuqOiQoA
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVre7n0OqT6
“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.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdLmDzjVV
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAgBbILSVP
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oL4ek4zQL
Oh Naomi. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKfRaTjiAp
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4djm0BHrBg
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz5kxsrptk
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqWcOUtePG
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAfd3dBA39
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf8YPpVUgB
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCi2SGwmBf
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy3EfBPKsc
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtr73X7Fuk
“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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEXzRiDBAM
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. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HE09Wztdd
I’ll wait however long she needs. 329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz41r6Kzjuw
