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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjdb6E5XTt
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQodl4Q9rm
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN5kL0XMki
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI7hRZKo5r
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wTCQrNQK
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh4KdRYkY9
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0hPrrXbGC
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHY4hdNOex
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVzta01lDF
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVvX30EkNw
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05qbecbgKL
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cMGhfxELA
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Myj7XktAy
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyYVd5KADN
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hD9vt2V3G
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvddexg3rKw
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8W6iOh9Ia
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDk3bSV1K8
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3znHW2N1aU
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8iEdWzNPd
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWLl7lrVcg
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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLbLDJGWw
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uwMiKtPUo
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPJh1Q2ZXt
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKWoUrnDe
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3u72aI6Nk
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlw7lr3Oq5
An idea pops into my head. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHLOBmH6h
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI24YC4nbit
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QhylvHAhA
A huge smile appears on my face. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvZuCeQ0jc
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1CkvUoVaY
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9EUHNE7fW
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Vmr7IF4m
(Time skip) 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HUbkdkV0G
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiuXBexUgj
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwK7lo0qxi
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFTrYNO89t
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0vfdOUT95
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAukWWziDl
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTQa4ez0q1
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHuEf8t4Nh
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZuExndtzE
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFU5LSG3vF
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5tp5jkjR9
“Naomi…” 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYEv7CPz9k
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6h5STtfPR
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTucnea1xS
“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.” 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhFpBLMH2o
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutzsoI93U7
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6wTH2lGML
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstFZvPQkcK

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYdPqjrtqw
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpFFHGXUg
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2hfqXtJTp
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N6ixLBQUq
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuEyJ6deS0
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZs0T1BNQ8
“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.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthKOM3ScuS
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYSg2TS3jm
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptvBbX2Xh6
Oh Naomi. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDtRI6pOR
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIM5fot6p8
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY3TEypbKz
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4topSwE4oY
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGNb23sa0D
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHHPEIWDI1
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyQrYoYYkk
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9AHTak7gh
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEa6hZtQy5
“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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXQIVSFaX4
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. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVHNmWJZQM
I’ll wait however long she needs. 247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbS1NERNoY
