Chapter 2
Pam sat in the front seat of her car. She was driving. Her hair was a mess, and her make-up was still smeared from crying. She had on her Keds, still as white as ever. She drove for awhile, till she pulled in the familiar driveway out in the country. She got out of the car, and she ran up to the door. She let herself in. She walked into the kitchen, and she saw her father.
"Pamcakes!" Her dad said. He got up and ran over to her, and he gave her a huge hug. "What are you doing here… Is everything alright?" He said, noticing her tears.
She nodded, and looked at her feet. "Yeah… is mom up yet?" She asked.
Her father shook his head. "She had to work the night shift last night… she should be home in a few hours."
Pam nodded. "I think I'm gonna just wait for her, in my old room. Is that ok?"
Her father nodded, and she ran up the stairs to her room. It hadn't changed since the day she left for college. She looked at the walls. They were covered with band posters, and photographs. In a frame next to her bed, were she and Roy's senior prom picture. She looked at it for awhile, and then she turned it around so she couldn't see it. She cried into her pillow, just like she did as a girl whenever her and Roy would get into fights. She cried for awhile, and then she fell asleep.

Jim was fast asleep in his room. He had come home and he had gotten drunk, and he had a killer hangover now. The streaming light through the blinds hit his face, and it killed his head.
"Ugh" He said, as he rolled over onto his back. He then got up out of bed, and he got some Asprin. He was now seriously regretting everything last night. He looked at his phone, just in case she had called. When he saw she hadn't, he threw the phone across his room. After that, he got into bed, and fell back asleep, thinking of Pam.

Rays of light came through the blinds and awoke Pam, around noon. She woke up, and went into the bathroom. After a few minutes of fixing her make-up, and brushing her hair, she went downstairs. She saw her mother, in the kitchen, washing the dishes.
"Mom?" Pam asked, exited to see her mother. She ran up to her, and she gave her a huge hug.
Pam's mother smiled. "Pam, it's so good to see you." She said, hugging her still. "Your dad said you didn't look so good this morning. Is everything ok?"
Pam paused for a moment, and then she shook her head. "I mean… nobody's hurt or anything… I just need advice." She said.
After a few moments, Pam's mother had made coffee for the both of them, and they were sitting in the living room. "So…" Pam's mother said. She placed her hand on Pam's knee. "So what's going on."
Pam explained to her mother in detail everything that had happened.
"Well…" Her mother said. "What are you gonna do?"
"I dunno mom, he's my best friend."
"Do you love him?"
"I think I do."
Her mother smiled softly. "Do you love him more than Roy?"
Pam paused for a moment. She put her head in her hands, and she started crying. After a few moments of tears, Pam nodded.
"Does Roy know how you feel?"
"No… if I told him he'd just get mad, and beat the crap out of Jim."
"Pam, you told me a long time ago how you had a crush on this boy. And if your heart tells you that he's better for you than Roy, then you should do something. Other wise, you'll just spend your whole life wondering if your life would have been better with Jim."
"Well what am I supposed to do?" Pam asked her mother.
"Tell Jim you like him back… and let love fix the rest."
Pam smiled sweetly and hugged her mother. A few minutes later, Pam got in her car, and drove back to Scranton.
