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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWiPliFEYI
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPLWbERUhN
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpH301l28i
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PcBqKnXak
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2YC8tk6TN
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQROWgU6j75
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqcZRarZqI
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5WnLvubQ3
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLMQYJd56v
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUQPblNvym
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoH2irolC
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwShNb8sD
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o4twC85ye
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAZXpO5bNG
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7PPJMkXwv
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6EtYSyVsO
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQK3T7HHpM
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtTEw5s9Kq
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAnqSo2aFI
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmwh39tZJ4
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCiUVS7mvl
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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj6xBmKes3
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WZ1o7SM3T
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsX2Uc0zfe
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmPL45M3mT
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZRQcBs70f
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon86sU7kqm
An idea pops into my head. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bt5RgdzOg
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5q0SXdiLX
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdbgXjWM7K
A huge smile appears on my face. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNVrnWp23M
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUTkAbbvoj
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordvixLVfi
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvz56j84Ke
(Time skip) 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032Gu1bqqa
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjIdDgjRWP
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBUKL1bJ0g
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s9QvSjYnW
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mstxNu8rs
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZjhUjYTot
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJzmgKBSjZ
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kdzdBFKxS
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy37FueQF9
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lGoji17ag
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL8AEKYAD
“Naomi…” 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDzBsuZdja
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHa0zHRl1L
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZi4TesqH
“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.” 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgTSgG5vNL
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3dE6XXnIq
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10kaFNWXl6
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqSLgYEaQv

Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zKaXrtEsI
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyto4DZaWK
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdXvTVNoAh
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQMwQhRHX8
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbKbKE5qIM
“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.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHBGKks3WT
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkyLnBoN4M
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QFBEpDANS
Oh Naomi. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBCgKPk9zL
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUChX5ryBJQ
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRKv56QBA6
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCenOcSbpnd
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqIxUajTOm
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0yQ2EaSre
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPzwBCskfk
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSnL7ikhr5
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXD52F8gPP
“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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHncY7xjz8
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. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELKrlinXNy
I’ll wait however long she needs. 324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYIwu6L82Q
