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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM69q1hxrZ
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQEqBv9UYx
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdgCAFa45A
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGMqHzrOrz
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlqZaDQVQ6
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2OnkXfh5M
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0fTlJV3PE
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0f3a5fzhu
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqyngRnzYv
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0clvkCmzHx
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPrqaz7Uuv
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIzfyK6drD
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYkm4CCO8U
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JcG1WhBMn
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3tgak1cpk
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0812eAgN6Q
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipdSxSBSGE
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecWF43qCT
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNUYBnLjFp
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDXSXSFRHO
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bx2SYvXCt
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIbTNuZ4b
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDLqDmKsSm
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTri85qeQXz
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCiNxp9nX
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG8wFSquoj
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrnWJL2oUh
An idea pops into my head. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPysGdoPXM
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ42d0aP42n
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLT2I6ehC
A huge smile appears on my face. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRh0g9ieFS
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDtHwn5QJT
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oDoNWpqHH
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzah70IfTO
(Time skip) 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn18Fx3uzp
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZVJLjkxwt
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD9kqxxtve
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3AIMYnBbN
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ksr88j5K
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHCk4YTy6P
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffjWO4hMh5
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIlbKuwNW4
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMD9AMmZym
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiKWj5psxZ
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxHjOLJlJR
“Naomi…” 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2QID9Y1m
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce2kJKT6mq
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX6XeJGXHL
“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.” 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XaFu7YhEj
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7puYwgntr
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00g6YuILM9
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgP12WOzxL

293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsmi4o124Y
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgJEYxN2Ry
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfMUs58fH
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJpLFmxLf
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgUew5aMkw
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMFKu2qEez
“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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FI53mHJrh
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIFFvc1Imu
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lfLrPfxha
Oh Naomi. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSygBrUCflV
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4tTeNhq5E
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxF2bzmgts
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gFLbgs9bG
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu8tNHfw5Y
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSHmyOfGzU
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre88ltmOIK
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsX0N42Gmi
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfT80zQsAg
“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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnJp3zsB8c
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. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3076ez5HL
I’ll wait however long she needs. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfsyK3aZd7
