The Francos (Dave and James Franco Fanfic)

Dave's P.O.V

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love,
I'll pick you up when you're getting down,
and out of all these things I've done,
I think I love you better now"

I sat with my head rested against the seat in the car as the music played.

Beth loved Ed Sheeran. I was just praying she was okay. I'd never forgive myself if someone hurt her.

"Just two more miles and we should be at the correct location" Paul said to me. I nodded in understandment and carried on staring out the window.

"You know she's tough, I'm sure she'll be okay" Paul spoke up.

"You don't know that, what if....what if she's hurt" I answered him.

"Just don't think like that, we're going to save her, she's going to be fine" he replied and I rolled my eyes.

Another reason why he's no good for her. I'm worrying like mad while he's all calm. I could never trust him again.

I sat and thought about all the time me and Beth had previously spent together, from the first day I met her till the day she disappeared. What if then was my last chance to see her. I wanted to push the thoughts out of my head but I just couldn't.

"Dave, we're here" a voice said. I looked up to see we had arrived at the exact abandoned factory/warehouse the locator had found. And there funnily enough was the black SUV Beth was shoved in.

We had climbed out of the car and began to walk towards the abandoned building.

"Wait guys, we don't know what we're getting into. If there's armed people in there we're gonna need backup. We should wait until they get here" the chief policeman spoke up.

Like hell I was. I waited until he turned round and started talking on his radio before bolting inside the building.

If Beth was alive then I was wasting no time in getting her out of there.

"Dave wait!" I turned round to see that Paul had followed me.

"What?" I asked.

"You're gonna need help, I won't let you save Beth alone" he answered with a smirk. I chuckled as we began walking through the building.

He was never going to give up.

Beth's P.O.V

I was left alone again to my thoughts. Well if I was going to die today I might as well make my last thoughts good ones.

I thought back to the day me and Dave first met.

I remember being so scared living next to him and James. All I wanted to do was impress them.

And luckily for me it worked.

But what If I had never plucked up the courage to speak to them. Me and and Dave would never be as close as we are now.

I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes...only to be interrupted by the door opening once more.

I know what you're thinking, my rescuer! However it wasn't who any of us thought it would be.

"Thank god I found you" he said as he ran over to the cell I was trapped in.

"James??? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. He fumbled about with the lock on the cell until he frowned and looked at me.

"Dave called, he told me you were missing. I spoke to your mom and she seemed to know exactly what was happening. She told me about your brother. Beth I'm so so sorry for your loss. She knew it was your Dad that had caused this, she knew he'd come back for you. A few weeks ago he escaped prison and he's been wanted ever since. We contacted the police and have been tracking where he was last previously seen. I'm here to get you out. Don't ask how I found you. Let's just get out of here." He explained.

I couldn't help but smile. But now James knew my secret. He needed to hurry and find a way to get me out of here before my dad comes back.

"James you need to break the lock, it's the only thing keeping me inside, you should hurry, if my dad-"

Suddenly the door slammed open and my worst nightmare had returned.

"Who are you?!" He shouted. I placed my hand on James' through the bars.

"Please, please don't hurt him. I-I'll stay, just let him go" I begged as James looked at me.

"No, Beth I came here to save you, I'm not leaving without you" he stood his ground as my dad walked closer to him.

As they began squaring up to each other my heart beat so fast I felt as though I would throw up at any moment.

"Please, please just let him go, I'm the one you want, not him!" I begged once again.

"That's true, but who am I to let some idiot pretty boy escape when he could bring unwanted attention. I'll just kill you both" he said as he pulled out a gun from his back pocket.

"No!!" I screamed as James put his hands up in surrender.

I watched as my father whistled with his left hand and two other guys came running in each grabbing either side of James and throwing him in the cell with me.

I couldn't help but let the tears fall. I'm not a strong person, not after what had happened in the past. But I couldn't let him do this. I couldn't bare the thought of Dave finding both me and his brother dead.

He would be heartbroken.

And it would be all my fault.

My father chuckled as him and the two guys left the room. How could he do this, he was never as evil as this.

"I'm sorry, I just thought I could help. I know how much you mean to Dave. We may have times where we don't get on but I know how upset he'd be if anything happened to you" James explained as he placed his hands on my shoulder.

I felt my bottom lip tremble as I crashed my head against his chest and wrapped my arms around his back. His arms soon enough embraced me into a huge hug as I cried.

"I...I don't want to die James" I sniffed as he stroke the back of my head and placed a gentle kiss there.

"I promise...nothing will happen to you" he answered.

"B-but I don't want you to die either, we need to get out, somehow. Dave can't lose the both of us" I pulled away to look at his face.

"We'll find a way" he answered as he held onto my hand.

I really hope so...
