You guys don't know how much I love you! I love reviews. You make my day! I literally get home, and one of the first things I do is check for reviews. Thanks for the billionth time for all the lovely reviews.

I don't own the Office. NBC and all them do. I have to admit, I am totally and insanely jealous.

This is a short chapter... kinda. And I definitely stole Jam moments from office episodes in this (( since it takes place before all those moments happened )) Let's just say they are a small tribute to a couple of my favorite Jam moments.

...

The sun was shining, making Pam's normally dull curls glow. Jim was standing against Meredith's car. His arms were crossed and he was staring blankly into space. The thought of Roy, a strong, full grown man, laying a hand on tiny, innocent Pam, the woman he loved... It was a little too much to handle...

Jim thought Roy was a scary guy, especially when he was mad. He didn't want to get into a fight with Roy, because, honestly, Jim was afraid that Roy could kick his ass. And to think of Pam, trying to fight back as Roy physically harmed her... It made Jim more mad then he had ever been in his life.

And she still was standing up for him. She was still saying it wasn't a big deal, and that it was only once... Trying to make Roy look like the good guy... It made Jim sick... and to think, Pam still agreed to marry the guy after he hit her... It wasn't the abuse that split them up, it was Jim...

...

Pam was in the small, public bathroom of the cheap hotel. She was sitting in one of the stalls. She had her face in her hands and she was crying. She could feel her tears dripping onto the end of her skirt. She didn't know why she stood up for Roy. He was a jackass... He didn't have an ounce of an excuse as to why he would hit her... Jim knew it wasn't just once. Roy wasn't a full blown wife beater... He only hit Pam a couple of times. Only one of the times he hit her he was sober, and it was after a huge fight... Pam couldn't help but feel like her blood was turning to ice. She felt like she had majorly disappointed Jim... and that feeling was too hard to bear.

After a little while, Pam walked out of the bathroom, smoothing her skirt, and fixing her simple long sleeved, burgundy t-shirt. She looked in the mirror. Her face was red from crying, and there was a bit of black under her eyes, from the small amount of mascara she had put on that morning. She furiously threw water on her face, and she used a paper towel to wipe under her eyes.

'It's better than before.' Pam thought to herself. She took a deep breath. She knew she had to go outside... Life wasn't something you could hide from in the bathroom forever...

Pam walked outside. As she pushed the door open, she could noticeably feel that she was weaker. Her eyes searched around for Jim.

Jim had never felt so mad in his life. He was sure if anyone could see him, they would be scared. He wasn't mad at Pam now... barely at all. He felt bad for her... He was furious at Roy. Jim couldn't remember a time in his life when he had felt more angry. If Roy at that moment walked up to him, Jim probably would have choked him, and that is the non graphic version of what Jim would do..."

Pam felt her hand shaking against the side of her leg. One of the locals who had stopped by when Michael was screaming for help told him that there was no way that the office would be able to walk all the way down to the diner, for it was at least five miles away. Michael was arguing that if they all sprinted if they would make it in time... Pam didn't even smile at that.



She looked around for the moppy hat of hair that she was just minutes ago running her fingers through. She walked around, asking people if they had seen Jim, but everyone either said 'I don't know' or 'I figured he was with you.' It stung Pam a little bit, but Pam was worried. Jim was pretty mad... she didn't know mad Jim...

Pam, out of the corner of her eye, saw a flash of brown hair- Jim's brown hair. She quickly walked behind Meredith's van and she saw Jim sitting there, a look of intense staring on his face. He looked up at her.

"How could you stay with him?" He said, with a smile of disbelief on his face. It was kind of an awkward look, but a wounded look at the same time. (( picture the look in casino night. the 'I wanna be more than that' look. ))

Pam slid down on the ground next to him. She put his hand in his and she realized, he was also shaking. "I don't know... There was every reason to leave."

Jim didn't say anything. He could feel Pam's pain in the air. This weekend was intense... too intense. Not at all what Jim had expected. He had wanted to prove to Pam he was a fun guy... Somehow that plan was not something Jim was thinking about anymore... It just seemed like a childish thought at this point...

"I was scared. Scared to be on my own... I was scared to leave him, what he'd do to me... I was scared he wouldn't let me take my stuff... I was scared my parents would be disappointed and that they wouldn't understand... There were a lot of reasons to call of my wedding, but the truth is, I didn't care about any of those reasons until I met you. I always figured that Roy would grow up..."

Pam sighed, and she shook her head. "But he's never gonna change... I just needed someone to help me accept that." Pam said. She took a deep breath and looked away. "You saved me."

Jim felt a smile come across his face... "Wow Beesly that was deep?"

Pam couldn't help it, but a smile appeared on her lips and she let out a giggle. "Oh, go suck it Jim." She quickly let go of his hand and Pam joking around punched him in the arm.

Suddenly, an "Oh my God" look appeared on Pam's face.

"What?" Jim asked, with a smile.

"I shouldn't have hit you! It wasn't funny... after what we were just talking about... I didn't mean to, I swear."

Jim shook his head. "Nice going, Beesly. Way to bring that up. Now I'm upset again."

"Jim I'm really-" Pam said seriously...

"I was kidding Pam..."

Pam wrapped her arms around Jim's middle. "So everything's cool now."

"I guess... Cept I'm gonna kick Roy's ass when we go back to your house to get your stuff..."

Pam paused. "You're serious?"

"I know it's hard to tell when I'm kidding and when I'm being serious..." Jim said with a smile. "But Roy's not gonna get away with that." He said with a 'that's just the way it is' look.

Jim squeezed her hand, and walked away, towards Michael who was back on the megaphone, yelling for the employees for a 'big disappointment announcement.'



Jim looked back at Pam, "You coming?"

Pam half smiled and ran to catch up with him...

'Oh my God.' Pam thought. 'Jim's really gonna fight Roy.'
