Titanic Chapter 2-The Ring

2009

The works of Dunder Mifflin eagerly board the Titanic. Michael was even pushing and shoving to get on first. Pam walked slowly, trying to avoid Roy's gaze. The night before, they had an awful fight. Roy didn't want to go on the Titanic and when Pam calmly told him she'd go by herself, he yelled at her and then finally agreed to go. Every few minutes Pam would look over her shoulder at Jim. He noticed, and smiled back at her. As soon as they got into the boat, they all had to sit in a room while the captain assigned them to their cabins.

Roy and Pam were going to room together, Michael was going to room with Carol, Jan and Holly. Apparently he had forgotten that he had three dates. Dwight was going to room with Angela, Jim was going to room with Andy, Phyllis and Bob Vance would room together, Creed, Stanley, Meredith and Oscar would room together, Toby and Kevin would be roomates, Daryl would room by himself. There were only 2 people left on the list. Ryan stiffened a bit as the captain read that he would room with Kelly.

"Ohmigosh!" Kelly squealed and jumped up to hug Ryan. "Ohmigosh we're roomies! We are going to have like the bestest time!"

Pam could see Ryan's tired face. Poor Ryan.

In Pam & Roy's Room...

"It looks really nice." Pam said, looking around.

"Yeah." Roy replied, obiviously not very interested. "Hey Pammy, I got you something."

He pulled a ring out of his pocket. It had a thick blue jewel on top of it.

"I know I forgot to buy an engagement ring when I proposed so I got you this one."

He slid it onto Pam's finger.

"Thanks." Pam replied.

"Now we truly are engaged." He said, kissing her lightly on the cheek.

Pam could only stare at the horrific ring in dissapointment.

"I remember the horror I felt, when he slid that ring onto my finger. It felt like the blood vessels in my finger had been blocked. And that huge horrible jewel... I hated that ring and I don't even know why I still bother wearing it."

"What are you planning on doing with the ring?" One marine explorer named Davis asked.

"Wouldn't I love to throw it into the ocean! I always despised that ring and the man who gave it to me."

Pam helplessly wandered the deck. She felt alone and somewhat lost. Roy always had his friend Daryl keep an eye on her.

"Pam!" Michael yelled. "Take notes of the beautiful ocean! This is a once in a lifetime oppertunity!"

Pam felt like her life was being controlled. Like she was a helpless insect trapped in a jar. Roy was always cruel to Pam. Michael always bossed her around and treated her like a slave. Jim didn't even talk to her. Pam could usually manage this stuff. But that was only when Jim was by her side. And now he wouldn't talk to her. Pam felt alone, lost and empty without him. Jim was the only thing that helped her when things were unbearable. She needed to see him. Hear his voice. But his cabin was far away from hers. Little did Pam know that Jim actually did care and he was watching her.

From the window in his cabin, Jim watched Pam wander helplessly. He avoided her because he couldn't stand seeing her with him. He knew what she was going through and he wanted nothing more than to run down there and hold her and make it all better. But there was an invisible line between them. A line called Engagement. Jim pressed his head against the window and watched Pam carefully.

One morning during the morning tea, Roy had flipped over the tea table and yelled at Pam. And Michael constantly tormented her with jobs. Pam walked outside and walked to the edge of the boat. She looked into the ocean and thought of how easy it would be to dive in and suffer a quick, painless death. Pam slowly and reluctantly climbed over the edge. Her heart pounded the whole way. Her hands were clammy and sweaty. Her eyes had terrible fear in them.

Pam leaned forward about to dive, end it all when she heard

"Pam!"

She turned around. And there was Jim, behind the edge.

Hey! I hope you like this chapter! I know Pam's "suicide" could have been better but what can you do? Please read and review! I do not own The Office.
