《Protect me (Frank Grayson FanFic)》S1E4
Advertisement
We were going on some stupid school trip. Frank walked me to the bus.
'Have fun, Beccs' he said. 'If anything happens, text me' He handed me some cigarettes and said 'it's something for you to do
'ok I will' I said, smiling at my protective boyfriend, 'I love you'
'I love you too' He said. We kissed and I got on the bus.
'Oi dickers, your sister is getting more than you!' shouted Mitchell. I high fives him as I sat in the seat diagonal to him, next to Jing. Alfie was trying to get but everyone was talking over him.
'can you listen to Mr Wickers please!' shouted Miss Gulliver.
Then the driver said something to Alfie then got a microphone and started to say 'what do you call a black milkman' Then Alfie grabbed the microphone out of his hand.
'Hello, everyone' said Alfie, some people looked at him. 'Welcome to the Abbey Grove field trip. Next stop, the Tring Ink and Petting Zoo' then he spoke to the driver.
Then the driver took the microphone, 'now, I only have one rule that there are no rules' he said
'Except, annoying all of the school rules. And one new rule, don't do anything Mitchell dares you to do' said Alfie, sighing. 'Joe?' Joe had a blue plastic bag over his head. 'Joe!' shouted Alfie.
'oh, cringe' said Mitchell, throwing a ball of paper at Joe.
'now, smoking is only permitted at the front of the coach so I can suck up all of your second hadn't stuff' said the driver.
I stopped listening at that point. During the trip, I took a cigarette out of the packet, gave one to Jing and we made our way towards the front. We sat on the stairs next to the driver.
'you smoke?' said Alfie, surprised.
I nodded and said 'Frank'.
'Grayson is such a bad boyfriend' he said.
'Says you. You've barely had one girlfriend' I said, 'and you don't know Frank like I do'
'thats the stuff' said the driver, heavily breathing the smoke in.
Alfie grunted an ugh and went down to check on everyone else. Mitchell ha dame miniatures and I think Alfie confiscated them.
Once we arrived there, there was this boring little man trying to talk to us. He showed us a worm and said 'now, unfortunately we have worms. I spent all morning fishing this out of a weasel' he showed us a a big jar with a worm in it. It was disgusting.
'It's an epidemic. so everything got them' he said, 'so it's a look-but-dont-touch policy. So, cups and, uh, girls, have you got any questions about animals?'
'Why do cows have so many tits' asked Rem Dogg
'Well, cows have udders' said the man. Then he was interrupted.
'how come you can all dogs "bitches" but not "bitches" "bitches"?' asked Rem Dogg
'Rem Dogg, behave' said Miss Gulliver.
Then Joe said 'Would you rather be a boy with a dog's head or a dog with a boy's head?'
'Well, obviously, a boy-' the worm man started to say.
' Oi worms' said Mitchell.
'his he talking to me?' asked the man
'my mate, Rasheed, yeah, said he found a beak in one of his McNuggets. See, I thought a chicken lays a nugget. Does it not lay the nugget then?' asked Mitchell
'When a female chicken is impregnated by the male chicken-' the wormy man got interrupted again.

Then Chantelle piped up and said, 'Old MacDonald, does the male chicken lie to the female chicken just to get into her pants and then breaks her heart with a text?'. She looked really sad.
'Guys, please. Can we show a little bit of respect to the farmer man? Ask some serious questions' said Alfie. There was a long pause.
Then Alfie said, 'do all meerkats come from Russia?' I rolled my eyes.
We then went to see all the animals. I could tell Mr Gulliver didn't like it at all. Then the worm man said 'Now, kids, prepare to be amazed by swinonus rhinonian, or the Rhino Pig' The other man opened the curtains on the cage to reveal a pig with a rhino horn strapped onto it. Veryone started laughing.
'your wife got a name?!' Mitchell asked the pig.
'that is disgusting' said Miss Gulliver , disgusted, 'I've a good mind to rip the bears to that cage and set that animal free. I've made a terrible mistake bringing us all here'
Then we went to the ink museum. It was so boring that I was practically sleeping while standing up.
Alfie and Joe went outside to look at the animals some more while we looked around. I kept an eye on them because they seemed suspicious. Alfie seemed a bit drunk, then he set the poor pig free. I stared, shocked with wide eyes. Then they came back and I lit a cigarette.
Five minutes later, Miss Gulliver was making everyone go back onto the bus. We started going back and I gave the driver a cigarette. Then he went on how we were lost and he would never use a satnav. We continued driving.
'right, little girl, take the wheel. Not sure I can trust this fart' he said to me. I hopped in the drivers seat.
'have you ever driven before?' asked Alfie.
'Nah' I said.
Then we hit into something. 'shit' I said.
'Alf, what did I hit?' I asked.
'The weird Rhino pig' he said.
'what the one you let out?' I said, smirking.
'please don't say it was me' he said, basically . I rolled my eyes.
Miss Gulliver came back with the Rhino horn. 'how do you think it escaped?' said Rosie to Alfie, 'oh god, do you think someone let it out?'
'maybe it let itself out?' said Alfie, nervous as fuck.
'doesn't anyone know about this? I won't be annoyed if you're honest with me' said Miss Gulliver.
'they always say that' said Alfie. He turned round to me for a sec.
'I did it, miss' I said, 'because it looked sad'
'well, thats stupid, but I admire the gesture' she said
'you stop my gesture' said Alfie, under his breath but I could still hear him.
The driver came back from the toilet and he was so drunk. Miss Gulliver and Alf sat him down and put his weird oxygen mask over his mouth. Then they had no reception. Alfie suggested that he take a few of us to the nearest town to get help. I said I didn't want to go because I wasn't bothered.
They were gone for all of 10 minuets when I saw an Abbey grove tie in next to a hedge by the side of the road. I was bored so I went to investigate. I looked around by the back of the hedge and it was someone with a mask on but an Abbey Grove uniform.
'very funny Mitchell' I said. Then I realise they were wearing a skirt. 'Chantelle?' I said. Then a person came up behind me and put a blind fold on me.

'let go of me' I screamed as they put me in a car. I was like that for an hour until they took me out . They lead me down some stairs until we got to a room. I tied to a chair and they took my blindfold off.
'right, who are you?!' I shouted at them, trying to seem scary but It came out more scared.
The person took their mask off. It was Abi. 'Abi?!' I said, 'why are you kidnapping me?'
She showed me her phone. I saw my number at the top. She was the unknown person.
'but why?' I asked, tears were running down my cheeks, 'I thought we were friends'.
'friends? haha very funny' she laughed evily. Then she went all serious. 'do you know where we are?'
I shook my head.
'we are in the schools basement' she said. 'there are security cameras all over this school and you're going to watch all of your friends, family and boyfriend move on without you'
'why are you doing this to me?' I said, with a scared whisper.
'because your brother has made me feel excluded and alone here at school. He only talks to certain people in our class and you were the only thing he cares about that I could get my hands on' she said.
She put a laptop out for me. It was connected to all the security cameras so I could see everything that goes on. it was connected to all the outside ones as well. There were microphones by all of the security cameras so I can hear everything. She put a bucket in the corner of the room and a bottle of water next to it as well. She pulled out a gun.
'now I'm going to tied your ropes now' she said. She undid the rope but still had the gun on me. I death stared her.
'Bye, "Beccs"' she said.
'don't call me that. That's Franks nickname for me' I said, pissed off. She just laughed, left and walked away.
I started crying and crying and crying. I looked at the laptop and the bus that my class was on came back. I saw Alfie get off.
'Alfie!, Alfie!!' I shouted at the screen. 'can you hear me? please.'
Then I saw Frank. 'Frank!' I shouted, hysterically crying.
I tried to get on to messages on the laptop but it was no use. That bitch only set it so I could look at the cameras.
I stopped to listen to what they were saying.
'where is she?' I heard Frank say
'on the bus' I heard Alfie say.
then he walked over to the bus door and shouted 'Becca! come out now' I didn't know what they were waiting for. I wasn't on that bus. Frank pushed past my brother to get onto the bus. He seemed to look threw the whole bus.
'she aint here' he said, worried.
'I'm sure she was on the bus' said miss Gulliver.
'well, when was the last time you saw her?' asked Frank
Alfie thought for a bit. Then he clicked his fingers. 'when she dove the bus into that pig' he said.
'but that was like 2 hours ago' said Rosie.
'shit, dad's gonna kill me' said Alfie, freaking out.
'forget your dad, I'm going to kill you' I heard Frank say.
'I'll call the police' said Rosie.
'shit, shit, shit,shit. I've lost my little sister' Alfie said, pacing.
Frank started crying. I was surprised. 'don't worry Grayson' we'll find her' said Alfie, soothingly.
I started crying. Frank crying made me want to cry. I watched as the police came, got statements from everyone on the bus and went. They said they would look do a search of several different places and they called the Tring police to start a search party for me. I screamed and screamed and screamed but no one heard me.
I screamed so much that I got really exhausted. I fell asleep on the hard floor. It was the worst night's sleep I had ever had. It was uncomfortable and cold. The only reason I fell asleep was because I was so tired.
I woke up to the sound of the bell and footsteps above me. The laptop was still on. Suddenly I heard a key in the keyhole. It was Abi. She had come to refill my water supply.
'please let me go' I whispered. Whispering was the only thing I could do.
She just looked at me and ignored me. I held the necklace that Frank had gotten, well stolen, for me for our 1 year anniversary. She noticed it and snatched it off of my neck.
'Give that back' I said, rising to my feet. Then I realised that she had one of those foldable batons. She hit my let and I feel to the fool. I started crying from the pain. I didn't think that I could cry anymore.
'bye, slut' she said on her way out, slipping the necklace in her back pocket with her phone. I looked at the laptop to watched her get out and a few moments later, there she was, walking towards the class I was meant to be in. She had almost got there when she took out her phone form her back pocket. Then I saw that the necklace fell out.
Suddenly the bell for assembly went. I saw everyone make their way to the hall. There were police there too. Once everyone was sat down, Fraser went to speak.
'Now, I have some rather shocking and sad news. Rebecca Wickers-' he said, crying when he said my name. I was crying now too. Other people had already heard the news and was also crying, 'has been kidnapped. We don't know where she is or if she is alright'. I heard a big gasp from the crowd of school children. 'Police will be conducting a search so everyone can go home early today. You must leave ASAP' he said. After that, I heard no more chatter. Everyone got their things and left. The only people that refused to leave were Frank, Alfie and Fraser. Stephen and Chantelle were reluctant to leave but Alfie said that he would text them if anything happened.
Frank and Alfie sat in the lobby for about half an hour when the police burst in. Alfie and Frank stood up immediately. 'Well, anything' asked Alf.
'do you recognise this?' said the detective, showing them the necklace.
'yeah, it's Rebecca's. She hasn't taken it off since I gave it to her last year' said Frank. It was weird when he used my full name because he calls me Beccs.
'we found it, outside of your classroom' said the police man to Alfie.
'but that wasn't here this morning when I came' said Alfie, looking surprised at Frank.
Fraser ran to the front desk. 'No one random has been here this morning' said Fraser, 'so that means the person is either at this school or she's being kept here'. I cried of happiness. They were finally cracking where I was. I screamed as loud as I could.
'wait, did you hear that' said Frank, 'it was a scream'
'Becca' said Alfie
'we have to find where that came from' said the detective
'Beccs, baby, if you can hear me scream again' said Frank, loudly.
I screamed again. They all rushed out of the room.
'Scream again' shouted Alfie. I screamed and they listened
'it's coming from underground' said Frank, then he turned to Fraser, 'does this school have basement?' he asked.
'yeah but its always locked. I'll go get the key from my office' Then Fraser ran off to get the key.
When Fraser came back, he lead them to a door. 'Scream again, Beccs' said Frank. I screamed.
'she's definitely in there' said the detective. Fraser quickly opened the door. Then the disappeared. There weren't any cameras in the basement but I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs.
'Becca, scream again' said Alfie. I sort of scream cried. I then heard a rush of footsteps coming towards me. Then I heard a bang at the door.
'Beccs is that you? said Frank. I started crying hysterically.
'right we need to break the door down or pick the lock' said Fraser
'Beccs, we're going to get you out' said Frank into the keyhole, 'get her out'
'we need to knock down the door' said the detective.
Then I heard a repeated banging against the door. Then suddenly it swung open with a bang. Frank ran over to me and I was still crying. 'it's ok, I'm here now' he said, softly. They took me up to the lobby and I was still crying. Crying of relief that I was out of there. The police took everything out of that room.
Once I calmed down, the police gave me back my necklace.
'do you know who kidnapped you?' said the detective, getting out his notebook.
'yeah' I said, in wobbly voice, 'It was that girl Abi, in my class.'
'she came in late this morning' said Alfie
'she took my necklace from me' I said.
'how could you hear us here from down in the basement?' asked the detective.
'Abi connected a laptop to all of the security cameras and she connected a microphone to each camera so I could hear everything. She wanted me to watch you go on without me. I was scared you weren't going to find me or you were going to give up' I said.
Then they went, Alf came and hugged me. 'I'm sorry that I left you with Mollinson on the bush's said.
'It's alright, big bro' I said, 'I'm just happy to be alive and out of there. She had a gun'
'oh my god' said Frank. He hugged me again. 'you could've died' he said. 'by the way, I would never give up on finding you' he said. We kissed. I missed his lips so much.
'I love you' I said
'I love you too' He said back, 'I couldn't see or contact you for ages and I know this is cheesy but it felt like a piece of me was missing' We kissed which turned into us making out.
'and now I'm going to call Dad to tell him that you're ok' said Alfie, awkwardly
We continued for a bit. Then we stopped when the detective came towards us.
'We're going to arrest Abi right now' he said. I tensed up at her name. Frank wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
'Before you go, she has a gun' I said, 'she pointed it at me when she untied me from the chair' I saw, out of Franks eyes go wide and he turned towards me.
'she's more dangerous than we thought' he said, then he turned to 3 other officers and said 'she has a gun, we need to go now before she hurts anyone else'
After they left, Frank looked at me and said 'you were tied to a fucking chair?' I nodded.
'oh my god, I'm so glad we found you' he said, hugging me.
Fraser came back with some chocolate for me because I hadn't eaten in ages. I walked up to him and grabbed it out of his hands. I ate it, grateful as fuck. Frank hugged me from behind and rested his head on my head.
We went back to mine and Alfies flat. Frank stayed over because we didn't want to leave me alone. We were lying in bed, just cuddling.
'I'm so happy that we found you. Our 2 year anniversary is next week.' he said.
'I know you cried' I said, smirking. 'it was so cute'
'I only cried because you weren't there' he said, smirking back. I started to fall asleep in Franks arms because I was so tired and I was comfortable. Then I heard 'goodnight princess, sleep well' he whispered, kissing my head.
