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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3ji7gCey3
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj87k9PqIOK
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasfNjVGEUi
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsqETk3cD
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eIYvOKTdC
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FZIfz471Q
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9FC6v0Tj9
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSDTALewEt
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqiCGcNSug
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65jsz3K9DN
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMXNWJfb9y
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6F3QrmuT8
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZLOhfwgg
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyn0OqZYw
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3tB5GDbBr
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejyvCLwt3
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjVytvARn
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0TVjR72Zo
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae6jw28RPw
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yD67yej5u
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ji5L6b486
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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOfS1Ms8H2
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi7OptHIfO
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CNau2khNC
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCggZr9tBo
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvX60085W1
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDmcMBpRq
An idea pops into my head. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgcePsbn5i
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSxuMbKOtu
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkfPH2Tw47
A huge smile appears on my face. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXC6XvhU39
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSLBIcWNM8
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v5J9LoYeD
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JV9GDDwcV
(Time skip) 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I6kEHLIgT
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqY2cux6h
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePMW4iJHd
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQM7GG8QZ8
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlnknEkL1r
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnq7g0jFY
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8WRvonfiV
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUNRJw4XLQ
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYvSa0E7Tm
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vgUWzSrnb
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKLQJaRrW
“Naomi…” 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4bI7Yc0A
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oNmN0aysZ
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dSnSwFsh
“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.” 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPESS6qLy7
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz4CpxnCy8
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfw9A1LiAB
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6NZ2r6LJ

236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68adaLp5GV
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dyAlmr4jz
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yIl2A80BN
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZV0t9Bz4F
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz286rD9W63
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE7MzaTxvI
“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.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZmgZDqH2D
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqsZ5P7dej
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUadBZObU0
Oh Naomi. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTwyL8596r
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5I662HjLD
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7Q11MLntj
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FMNf5Dptf
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdG61oICQi
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrxu1sgkW
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqRoQLZA46
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzOUmwHoyp
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWgUlfmVCG
“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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZubC0PsC3
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. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjHP6eglmA
I’ll wait however long she needs. 236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTzfSsJxg5
