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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFe1Q6IrlL
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwOjEin649
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMgSH1Fowj
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMSdsRyDb
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNWsGFFCIm
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTu6ho0e55
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPNVK40LxY
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEgXcmexyS
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlYinAfKzy
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT93z0wfC6w
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gCE3kex2v
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfqe5UB3aj
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMSQ7bJ8G3
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZSlHM7YOn
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzGGhowFks
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A7pmuuspK
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t03P8w8XY
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2qVKhwkT7
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4pvYzsJNn
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsxtIFk1nM
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjU6MZAcP4
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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmg16RyUcM
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtZ5GgPH8N
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZaiXNXS6K
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmxJRTOGFs
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyAqW5TcwA
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbehOkLd5fS
An idea pops into my head. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZlvGq7ivY
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyMeEpuzMS
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjkOsiWlih
A huge smile appears on my face. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEn4p5tozl
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIgnYzAYdF
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYpo5NSl1z
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKHnz3s37h
(Time skip) 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRuM2oxugO
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0bTy0Krm4
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHzOkpXvRx
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpayIiitsZ
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakqUAz1dBY
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9yHHOMqDN
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeElT1MzACm
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95lGJ8AlCZ
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4OzM00SNn
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKA4oRhBvP
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKukNlBruDZ
“Naomi…” 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKW8PkeWS
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVotwKwF6O
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7slJjpUMoG
“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.” 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aUGPj2pDa
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vlDfph5CJ
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb9GmlMOj3
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWuG7NrRr1

427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHLsHquCG2
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6qmYLrT8g
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSL4Irip6f
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3PYKvCXv0
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaf1Cv07pk
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9EKDpj3eN
“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.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj3D9RAeXA
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbIq8MoWR
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBik28e0GXX
Oh Naomi. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlh7X8FPL3
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B3yxIxJcH
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZRL2Ob2go
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRBfXThvm6
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfVnIKnJcw
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9GJVez6m
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HPk37oodL
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt7j2F7JuT
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORTweg0OD9
“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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3I2iGil9M
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. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkRgK0Vmco
I’ll wait however long she needs. 427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSzlyvKosL
