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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLsiGPTPm
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kx2dAH8MZ
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnJ39MutlZ
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12646GSv1W
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBfwxkXSgV
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7rr91z6T2
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIabDfBatS
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkHc9o3RMq
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrrCDbiZyG
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9OCRs1eEY
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1echZullqG
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwfNZpddU
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaTT7x7YqB
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGJUWiAg2D
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOYi22PitN
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv4gdM5gJY
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWBXHD4bj
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmrZ5tS245
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP98qegHmA
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1plBh8cGSo
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwnglfTi8
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNvVLUmNzS
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oisGLsrUb
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHJO6fos0M
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8pcdplBRS
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfffPHgrYYH
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1BB0IAeEc
An idea pops into my head. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdjA4csMl
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrfdUEBreU
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHnmG7djQb
A huge smile appears on my face. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqxEwmSoQG
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0qLkK0SjT
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4On5qSgW8
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8BuYnfIV1
(Time skip) 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpUr0nLlVL
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4VoIRpy9
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tbs6ZQTvc
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLXRsCswfc
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmgqLzqq9k
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMaKvRT7UI
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUvJSUilQh
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGMsihhZas
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5lnmcJq9p
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd6Ldf0QXE
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9fFAunjht
“Naomi…” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVU8sARpi
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MUpK6mMsW
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhjfvBP6OJ
“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.” 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexiukTAnD
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsq1TJCkGO
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquSZ1Rn2Yg
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Jrit2cyz

307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9sETrXY5X
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMsiA5CKla
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wZgvlf569
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXanL5A8xt
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKji1pw4xFO
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao4RrBUYfs
“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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxzwRBFgbd
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQf8VeRSkq
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8g8Ed5qbR
Oh Naomi. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsAvBNXS4N
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1WeGpNubM
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWXY1lg5f7
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz33R2qkuL
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI4BBXuHH4
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFJi9YXME
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk31y3srET
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iCyeYoCxD
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx9cCfjVmM
“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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP0klAaRY3
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhmVcOsYKg
I’ll wait however long she needs. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8jA6Tdp8S
