Office bully
Sandy was getting coffees she saw Fred in the break room reading over the newest script. "Hey Fred!" She had become much more friendly with her co workers recently. "Have you met Diana's temporary replacement yet?" Fred said, he sounded scared. "No, who is she?" Sandy asked. "She's Diana's sister, but she's pretty rude." Fred said. "Oh…well I'll look out for her." Sandy said filling the last coffee cup.
Andy came into the break room. "Hey what are you doing here?" Fred asked. Andy spent most of his time in the writers room or his office. "Trying to avoid Diana's sister!" Andy grumbled. Sandy pased him his coffee. "Thanks kid, you know Diana only gave her the job because she's unemployed!" Andy grumbled. "When will Diana be back?" Fred asked. "Next week."
The door swung open. Andy faced the wall clearly praying the person would not see him. "I'll help you with the coffees Fred said leading Sandy out of the room. "Was that her?" Sandy asked. "Yea." Fred said. "Should we leave her alone with Andy?" Sandy asked. "I think it's best to just stay out of it." Fred said.
Andy came into the filming room. "What's the problem with my script!" Andy yelled. "Well remember this character is pregnant she can't get drunk!" Joy said. "Then just make it a different character!" Andy yelled. "Alright."
Andy was stopped by Diana's sister. "I remember you … from my sisters wedding!" She said annoyed. "Listen she's forgiven me OKAY!" Andy grumbled. "After she helped you pay your alimony all these years!" She said shaking her head. "Get back to work snob!" Andy yelled. "You know she keeps helping you threw everything! What do you do for her!" Her sister yelled. "I do more than you do!" He yelled. "I introduced her to Ryan!" She said proud of her self. "What good has that done her." Andy yelled. "Well they did just get married." She said confidently. "I don't see it lasting." He grunted. He tried to walk away. "I guess Ryan was right about you!" She said with an evil look on her face. "I don't give a shit about that little PANSY'S opinion!" Andy yelled. "He's ten times the man you will ever be." She said. "A REAL MAN DOESN'T TREAT WOMEN THE WAY HE DOES!" Andy was about to swing a punch at the girl but Fred pulled her out of the way.
"ANDY!" Joy yelled. "I'll be in my office…" Andy said trudging away. Joy took a deep breath this time she would need more than a newspaper. "Let's take five!" Joy said walking to talk to the sister.
One hour later Joy couldn't avoid the topic anymore, she walked to Andy's office and knocked nervously on the door. There was no answer. She opened the door Andy was standing by the window, she saw him smoking. "Andy you know you can't …" She stopped he had enough problems. "I know why you're here … how long is my suspension this time?" He asked, it was almost becoming routine. "You're not getting suspended this time." "Fired!" He said nervously. "No, you have to pay so we don't get a lawsuit. And you will be going to anger management again." Joy said as calmly as he could.
He rubbed his face. He mumbled something. "What?" Joy asked. His face was bright red. "I can't afford it…I'm already living paycheck to paycheck. I got a bit of debt." Andy said quietly. Joy stayed silent. "The anger pills cost so much and I can't quit smoking and my damn ex wife! … Emma left me so I guess I don't have that to worry about that anymore." Andy sounded embarrassed. "Andy I am so sorry! Maybe you should go to a therapist?" Joy suggested. "Now how the hell am I supposed to pay for that!" Andy yelled.
Joy just stayed silent for a bit, watching Andy smoking on his cigarette. "Andy I hate to bring this up but … you still have to pay…" "Just take it out of my paycheck!" Andy interrupted. "Andy …" "I'll figure something out okay!" Andy yelled.
Joy just sat there to shocked to move. He broke the silence. "Have you heard from Diana?" He asked awkwardly. "No." Joy said confused. "She hasn't answered me back and she hasn't been on social media in three days … it's her honeymoon and she suddenly stopped posting pictures?" Andy said conspiratorially. "She's probably having to much fun!" Joy said excited. "Or he cheated on her again!" Andy grumbled. Joy had wondered this question ever seine Sandy brought it up at the restaurant.
"Andy do you want to be more than friend with Diana?" Joy asked nervously. "You kidding me! Can you imagine being that girls boyfriend! Youse would feel like a servant." He was telling the truth. He wasn't jealous of Ryan he was the one who knew the full extent of all the terrible thing he had done to her and he hated that Ryan.
