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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6qfp0jTqZ
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpOlLiIW0k
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjRx24JDMO
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmq7sC4trm
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.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOebGO44U3
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif7YGGlmAU
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUukWU1Utx
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN9tR2hFuZ
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92lSbMdFVW
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisAwbFX9Ek
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTzAyswWBZ
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7xrIM7Lx5
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCE5EY70NS
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHrtN7troc
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLLDFypmvR
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AmH22NyLW
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWeH2AuiH8
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Q43ESgGx
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.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0HIDhoN2
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAJIxYVuZ
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVFe6qniIa
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.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0Uki2xPE
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpoaqMktBX
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ934wDh5oqD
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIyzge0v4s
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa1lytQnOz
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXCy1aBnAh
An idea pops into my head. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuKu0aJuL7
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z3EhF6VHJ
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfJ9gIutAH
A huge smile appears on my face. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHF7zw4FSa
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf5woJCxyL
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh96ZbQGUH
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxCj2oQYQV
(Time skip) 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07jwGjf0FQ
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwdzMlrFDI
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWv2MYVYz4
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIk58ZH8b
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GlDQry5m6
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3HeilWV30
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t9HBoYNzS
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLImamxiMn
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSAEUcRfhN
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8M5rwRmCM
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGwcjDLFbH
“Naomi…” 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlciNS8NMC
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDSlJWXKzU
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQfoe44n05
“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.” 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU94MDfJfBO
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0IyYYXKan
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih2VtSiUzn
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE1hpEzxII

196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhJwueNtQE
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnzZ9Pcv7l
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucmeI0nFW
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaAlk8VkiG
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tx8VKXQuk
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6PLe8FWPL
“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.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2VtrwJyiO
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQl858kutN
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp11s7flaR
Oh Naomi. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroOYoTklNl
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxd7WArIHL
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LFNA2JYc7
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFtymeESRl
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K3wjqtZmm
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrnK58NuVu
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzJkTKx3yh
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsFnqjhxia
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Sfueh6fjs
“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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgfXQNz9DG
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. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaR8PuUbsN
I’ll wait however long she needs. 196Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8gIEsnoMF
