The Barrier in between

Technically I'm NOT cheating. part 2

Previously on the barrier in between:

Frank rushed into Victoria's room, he told her Andrew disappeared.

Victoria panicked after she was told the news, and immediately sent out search parties.

-part 2-

(With Akko and Andrew)

They walked along the sidewalk side by side, not knowing where they would end up, they just followed the sidewalk and hoping for the best.

Soon, without noticing, their hands interlocked with each other. It didn't feel awkward, it didn't feel weird, it felt comfortable, like they have held hands for years. Andrew looked at their hands and noticed they were intertwined, but he didn't do or say anything. He wanted this to go on forever.

"Where do you think the road ends?" Akko asked breaking the silence between them.

"Who knows? Who can say where the road goes? It's full of twists and turns, surprises every once in a while while, maybe it has been the same for so long but then something special comes and changes it forever. Life is an endless road, until we die and are forgotten one day, not really changing the world but hoping for the best, the road is it's own thing, but still follows others and is to afraid to speak up, even though it has a time limit before it disappears, and has wasted it's time here, doing absolutely nothing, because all this time it was afraid, alone, scared, and can't speak its mind, so it crumbles in the inside." Andrew went into deep thought.

Akko thought these words were a bit personal, but she knew Andrew had to get his troubles out... with using road metaphors... Then Akko found herself doing the same thing.

"Yeah, and throughout time it just gets worse, it always tries to help and insists that it's fine, but inside, every road has something wrong with them, something they have to deal with that no one else understands, so they get angry at them cause they are so messed up, but honestly, we all have issues." Akko vented as well.

Andrew tightened his grip on Akko's hand.

"It's ok Akko, the road will be fine if they just get back up and keep going on." Andrew tried to make Akko feel better, and it worked.

The two stopped at a little ice cream shop called 'Wrecked up roads'.

(With Victoria and frank)

"I need every single person I can get to search for him, and you WILL follow my commands, I'm the daughter of Mr. Sakimoto! I will get MY way, or I'll have you all fired!" Victoria said with the power of a million flames in her voice.

"I think you might be going a bit overboard.." Frank said softly.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Victoria has gone completely crazy at this point.

"I said... you tell that girl! Put her in her place!" Frank said, it was not the best time to not side with Victoria, even if he sugar coated it.

About 150 guards had gone out to search for Andrew, they spreader all throughout the city.

(Back with Akko and Andrew)

"Sooo.... what's the story behind the name?" Akko asked the waitress after ordering.

"Well, it's a metaphor, but I don't think you would get it, not many of us do." The waitress said, walking away.

"Ok then.... so..... what's the story behind your name... Andy." Akko giggled.
