Confronting Pam

2009

Pam may have had a most amazing time with Jim last night but the next morning at breakfest with Roy, she deeply regretted it. As they sat down to eat Roy asked her "Where the hell where you last night?"

"The Dundies party, remember?"

"No, you weren't there. I had Darryl go and see."

Pam was annoyed at this statement. She couldn't believe Roy for doing that. He didn't trust her by herself so he sent his friend to go spy on her.

"Pammy, where were you last night?"

"I was at some other party."

"Don't lie to me, Pam!" Roy's voice was starting to have a hint of rage in it. Roy took one look at her face and immediatly knew what had happened. "You were with Halpert, weren't you?"

"No." Pam said, immediatly denying it. If she told the truth, it could mean trouble for Jim. And she didn't want Jim to get involved in this.

"You're lying. I know you were with him." Roy's voice grew more angry by the second. "What is about him that draws you to him? What does Halpet have that I don't? You spend more time with Halpert than you do with your own fiance!"

"You're the one always ignoring me!" Pam snapped back. She didn't want trouble but she had to defend Jim and herself.

Roy was really quite infuriated now. He flipped over the table in a rage. Pam fell off of her chair from the commotion. Roy stepped in front of her and yelled.

"I'm not yet your husband but still your fiance, and as your fiance, I order you to stay away from Halpert! I don't want you two together! I don't want you cheating on me so stay away from him! Or there'll be trouble for the both of you!"

Roy stomped off in a rage. Pam could only sit and cry. Not for herself but for her best friend. Jim was the one person who kept Pam from falling apart. Pam knew that sneaking off to see Jim wouldn't work. Roy would have Darryl keep an eye on Pam and then Darryl would tell Roy what Pam was doing. Pam made a decision right then and there. She would have to avoid Jim to keep Roy away from him. Roy was brawny and Pam feared what he would do if he saw Jim and her together.

All day Jim had been trying to see Pam, to talk with her. He saw her twice but when he went to talk with her she acted like he wasn't there. Jim finally saw Pam through a window. She was in church, singing with everyone else. Jim went to the door of the church to open it but Darryl was in front of the door.

"I need to see Pam." Jim told Darryl.

"You can't see her, Mr. Anderson doesn't want you near her."

"I just need to talk with her."

"I'm sorry, but you can't do that."

"But I have to talk with her! I have to say something to her."

"Thats too bad."

Two men came up behind Jim.

"Mr. Halpert, we're going to have to ask you to leave now."

"I can't leave! I have to talk with her!"

Jim was then escorted away by the two men, yelling the whole time in hopes of Pam hearing him.

Inside the church, standing beside Roy, Pam thought she had seen Jim being escorted away. She wants to see him but decides against it.

Later that evening, she walked down the deck chatting with the ships designer.

"Ms. Beesly, there is no possible way the Titanic can sink."

"I know but if it does, would there be enough lifeboats for everyone?"

The ship designer laughs. "Of course." He replies with a smile. He walked off chuckling to himself. There is no way the Titanic could sink.

Earlier that day when an old man was playing with a little boy, Jim noticed his jacket and hat sitting on a seat and swiped them to use them as a disguise to confront Pam.

As soon as Pam passed by, he gently grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. She took one look at him and knew who he was. Jim lead her into a nearby room. Both of them stood there, just staring at each other. Jim finally broke the ice.

"Pam, why have you been avoiding me?"

"Have I?" Pam asked. It was best to play dumb, she hadn't forgotten Roy's words, and she did not want Jim involved in her business.

"Pam, I was going to see you, but Roy's friend Darryl had two men escort me away."

"What do you want me to do about that?" Pam asked.

"I'm just worried about you." Jim said softly. "Does Roy have anything to do with you avoiding me?"

"No, Roy wouldn't do that."

"Pam, I know you're lying." He looked straight into her eyes and for a second she was tempted to admit everything.

"So maybe things aren't perfect, I don't need your help, Jim. Its not up to you to save me."

"I know." He said softly. "But I want you to see that hes got you trapped."

Pam opened her mouth to protest but Jim stopped her saying "Pam, I know you love him, but hes restricting you. You almost commited suicide because of him. You need someone to help you."

Very light tears were starting to gather in her eyes but she didn't let Jim see them. In a very quiet voice Pam said "That someone isn't you."

"I know." Jim replied, and Pam could see tears in his own eyes. "Its you."

With that, Pam walked out of the room, feeling more empty than ever. She wanted to cry but resisted. Jim however, actually let his tears fall. Pam needed to understand. If she were to commit suicide because of Roy, Jim's heart and his mind would snap in two. Unvoiced love had never been more difficult for him than this very moment. And he longed to tell her everything. But he couldn't.
