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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWSlvVxD0I
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g3KCKPalQ
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF2FUzWHM6
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASDoVoxMck
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD9T6fZahG
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2G90BCP42
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw6GFHPkQA
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofRnDh49PW
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuzCbqmJtt
Once I arrive to school she’s there waiting for me at the entrance 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6HDQYdnSI
As I walk up to her I nearly trip. God fucking damn it! Hopefully she didn’t see that. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpi65l6JTY
Looking at her she seemed to have noticed since she looked concerned.
Shit she saw it! 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwo9TLO2XT
Okay it’s fine just act like nothing happened. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3GzmlezWn
“H-Hey Naomi. Good afternoon.” Shit! “G-Good morning I mean.Uh lovely weather today isn’t it?” Who the hell asks that?! 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF0k5yKkak
The angel in front of me shyly smiles nodding and gives a small wave. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIF2ThsuZg
She’s so cute! Should I h-hold her hand? No, that's too much for me right now! 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3FuOYKHq4
Another voice snaps me out of my thoughts. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6GjkTnQ0R
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTczymhQqH7
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3eZmn3eQk
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnQ0rktg90
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUYQQRXvQ
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzrdqSj6xq
Turning around to said girl I notice she’s scared. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC8NjzP4jC
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9LgSigsG
I’ll protect her though. No matter what. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKilpolncB
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfNqn9zKw
A blush spreads across her face which is so cute. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mzw7YIjxL
An idea pops into my head. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy44p3CQyZ
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDP4LAOzU9
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUKefnqHVq
A huge smile appears on my face. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7zBEzfxLi
“Great!” She opens her mouth but before she could say anything the bell rings. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrCk8uRlB8
I wonder if she says anything to anyone else besides me. I’ve never heard her talk in class or to anyone else. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxwXMdD7J
What am I saying, of course I’m not the only one. Right? 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqDxBLel2V
(Time skip) 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFsQVx7BTr
Opening the door to the rooftop quickly then shutting it as I’m finally able to catch my breath. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFGpPkQjl1
“Jeez I’m starting to rethink coming back to school.” I look over to where Naomi is and see her silently laughing at me. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t2QSfPmyO
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpWkfjSHvn
A blush appears on her face. “I’m only teasing.” I chuckle a little at her reaction. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vVDFioQKF
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUwOiU6yYa
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr17zUHgsD
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzW0nXQQ9
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFd7F1ZzGo
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJhvHSe1vv
The wind blows as I put my hand on her shoulder.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryrKVNmEHg
“Naomi…” 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2Mv0df6vR
I faintly hear her mutter I’m sorry multiple times. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMrVSlSw9K
I hug and hold her as I try to calm her down. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeHVuz5DZU
“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.” 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQytsqO7YB
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zRk5x4Q9j
Everything was fine until I saw the drawing of me. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUnTjbqUDN
Deciding to figure it out later an idea pops into my head. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhrZ6DvOiM

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaME3CM9pj
Opening my eyes I feel that she’s no longer shaking and that she calmed down. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsPMgCuWWp
“Naomi, are you okay now?” My voice filled with worry and concern.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTgOgQ8HRI
She nods looking at me ashamed and embarrassed. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwpZofMGjJ
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQYQY29bNm
I lift her chin up gently so watery icy blue eyes stare into my emerald eyes. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6l80ibCKG
“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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn8RAJiUZ1
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66kiSOHTk6
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ZzGTQUXw
Oh Naomi. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRzJsWQRLi
I pull back, already missing her warmth. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKljtj948Q
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXoJLuMa5p
Her mouth opens but nothing comes out as she struggles to say something. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBO5wPukED
My heart aches seeing her struggle to speak. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Hlshpx9Y
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBabd9UWcjc
Grabbing her hand and holding it causes both of us to turn red. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQuerKHIEN
Whatever happened to her in the past I won’t leave her alone. I’ll always be there for her. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxyxUziklk
The bell rings, snapping both of us out of it.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVMqjeVHf
“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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi2VE7LTmv
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. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsUWe1zxHo
I’ll wait however long she needs. 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOx1l4wFv2
