DISCLAIMER: I don't own The Office. It pains me to write that.
Thanks so much for reviewing guys! It encouraged me to make this chapter. Mkay, so I wasn't exactly sure how to handle this chapter, but I've done what I can. Please let me know what you think, enjoy!
Jim had been sitting on the couch when he'd overheard the fight on the phone. At the first crash he had leapt up. At the slap he was grabbing his coat and keys and by Pam's scream was out the door and in the car. He was driving (alright, maybe even speeding a little), eyes wide. He was still in shock from what he'd heard. He'd always know Roy had a temper but how anyone could ever hit someone so…so innocent, so gentle as Pam was a mystery to him. He sped up.
He saw immediately that Roy's car was gone and he didn't bother knocking on the door. He pushed it open and ran straight to the kitchen.
"Pam!" he cried out, seeing her on the floor, unconscious. "Oh no, no, Pam stay with me!" He leapt over a fallen chair and knelt by her side. Her brow was furrowed and already he could see black-blue bruises flowering up on her arms and face. A stream of blood flowed down her cheek where a flying shard of glass had sliced her and her lower lip was cut too. Jim gathered her gently in his arms. He stared at the mess around him. Broken glass, chairs knocked over, food everywhere, a tangled tablecloth and water from the vase drop, drop, dropping in an even rhythm. An almost eerie sound. Suddenly, Pam made a small noise. Her eyelids fluttered a couple of times and she slowly opened her eyes. Jim's brown eyes stared into Pam's green eyes. He felt his heart breaking into a thousand pieces as he watched tears pool in her eyes and spill down her cheeks.
"Oh Jim…" She sniffed. She sat up a little and buried her face in Jim's chest. He wrapped his arms around her, feeling like his chest might explode at any moment. His heart hurt.
How could Roy do this to her? She felt so broken in his arms. He rested his head on hers and leant against a cabinet. They sat like that for a long time until the water stopped dripping and Pam fell asleep.
Okay, so this was a short chapter but I've already started thinking about the next one, so chapter 3 should be up by tomorrow! Thanks for reading! xx
