Hey y'all! :) Thank you for your patience. I haven't gotten many reviews on the most recent chapters of this story :( Thank you to those who have reviewed! Also, no one has guessed my age right yet (guesses- 16 and 17). Hint- I'm in college and I just had a birthday! Happy reading, hope you enjoy!
*Pam's POV*
I glance over at my phone as it lights up again with a text from Jim. My eyes are the only part of my body I move, everything else hurts too much. At the same time, I am numb.
Jim- Hey Beesly, how's your trip? The secretary subbing for you doesn't understand any of my jokes. Kevin doesn't like her because she let the candy jar go empty for two days. Michael is just as crazy as ever. He and Dwight are scheming something in his office right now. Angela has been talking about some guy she has been dating. I still think it is a coverup for her and Dwight. Not much else is happening here. Hope all is well with you. We miss you here Pam.
The corners of my mouth rise after reading this. Even after all that has happened, Jim can still make me smile, even if it is only a little.
I love him, I really do.
My stomach growls again. I try to remember the last time I ate, but the days have been a blur. I can't seem to remember eating at all. I've showered at least once every hour this week, trying to wash away what has happened to me. It doesn't work.
I slowly rise from the couch and walk towards the window. The light is so bright it hurts. It is amazing how being absent from the outside world for only a few days can affect a person this much. I see the birds bathing in my small bird bath outside, I see the squirrels chasing each other through the grass, I see one of the old women in my neighborhood walking her dog. My heart aches at the innocence and happiness taking place all around me.
The only stillness outside my window comes from a blue car parked across the street. I don't pay much attention to this, my neighbors usually have their friends over. My mind instantly turns to my wanting Jim's car to be sitting in front of my house. If only Jim were here, everything would be okay.
I walk towards the bathroom, yearning for another shower. I pick up my phone, look at the text again with tears forming around my dry eyes, then throw it back down onto the cushion. Jim is not responsible for me anymore, he has Karen. I ruined that a long time ago.
I trudge across the floor, all the while feeling a burning on my back as if someone was watching me.
*Unknown POV*
I watch her face appear through the blinds of her window. She is pale and dark circles appear underneath her eyes. Her lips are almost as puffy as her eyes. Her uncombed hair falls over her shoulders. The pajamas she is wearing, obviously a few sizes too big, hang on her fragile and small body.
She is beautiful.
She turns to walk away, and my heart reaches out to her, willing me to jump out of my car and chase after her. But a heavy hand rests over mine, anchoring me to my seat.
"Soon enough, baby. Soon enough," she whispers in my ear.
Hope you guys liked it! Please please please please pleeeaaassseeee review! I promise I will update faster if I get reviews (it motivates me LOL). Let me know what y'all are thinking! And don't forget to guess my age for the game!
