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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidIYbwjbOi
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDO75OhZw3
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHjgDNu9DY
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT5RzqQzQe
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9YCJ9oxUp
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGCo4KR6ay
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE6ep4kKsD
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKK1wFpopa
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9NAq0vn0V
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D44jNY8mb
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7tGDncHGA
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEs4MQuy5l
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpBYUEICl3
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55DYjwnMsc
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq0RKgwxhj
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn5w0UKcYP
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkQeTXx97
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqK8s0LnZa
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOFozvnVd2
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPuKCot7FM
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR48a8tdCv
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8FZ4PUPOz
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDO2gDoGI
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS36T7CrrtM
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO70CHJ00CF
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5oj7nXIyo
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuCfIHobgm
An idea pops into my head. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyN2M8nI0
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Ccf5jIMx
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzSfnUKmoJ
A huge smile appears on my face. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzHIK1fh7T
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUohMBjYfY
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo32rGQmZDW
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4BY9Zu7aJ
(Time skip) 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSet4ay3syf
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz9aBCLWHn
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyOose07v6
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2rFo14lMP
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3on6CMtPF
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fT5uaG6a
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWqr608Yc
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwecBUh89L
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxD1z9lccy
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj61zVr7zP
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh7lO0BYnH
“Naomi…” 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8wLIozgG
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMJoWb3Gto
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnYbxJfGog
“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.” 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcQQl37Jkm
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo37IgkDcL
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbfG0yeKk
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1okHkxbTW

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLenOxuweYh
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsO1Uca2ap
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQhREvX80K
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2EHfiahNA
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlueKXBTaTd
“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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhikmf4m9Lo
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaYhrJZZzU
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKKdsLFXI3
Oh Naomi. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPvyMBeIY
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyURpPM4Z44
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUdAOMXq8E
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjSW5m0mIO
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hnyHsfUnf
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aLMmkzjBz
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj12j5nD6vz
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcrkJRUkOI
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7X9sm70gk
“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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqENCfksxK9
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. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0jytZm6pk
I’ll wait however long she needs. 234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6Vfa8MbS
