fancy new beesly's fancy new life, pt 1.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT
Set in season 3
no smut in this part, but possibly in future chapters!

Pamela Morgan Beesly had been driven to the edge. Not the suicidal edge, fortunately enough, but an edge of some kind. She was so sick of watching Jim and Karen smile and simper at each other across the office, eating lunch together, kissing each other. She missed Jim's friendship so much— he would barely even look at her unless he had to. She had no friends in Scranton, and her relationship with Roy was far too toxic, even she realised that.

So one day, rather like a fraying rubber band, she snapped.

"Pamalama-ding-dong!" Michael's annoying voice crept into her ears. She looked up, jaw clenched. "Yes, Michael?" She muttered.

"I'm just surprised that you haven't given me my expense reports yet, you know, since I am so desperate to fill them out for the company." He said. Pam blinked, shaking her head. She had forgotten to hand them over to him first thing this morning. "Sorry, Michael, it slipped my mind."

"That was very unprofessional of you, Pam." Angela chimes in, in the background. Pam swivels to look at her sharply. "I don't think this is any of your concern." Pam snaps loud enough for most of the office to hear. All eyes turn to them, including Jim and Karen. 

Angela scowls deeply. "Pam, I really don't think-"

"You know what?" Pam rose from her chair, staring daggers at the rest of the office. "I quit. That's fucking it. I quit!"

Michael's eyes widen. "Pam, you can't quit without handing in a 2-week notice-"

"I just did." She said fiercely. Pam slammed her hand on her desk, then began to gather up her things. Jim rose from his chair, looking worried. Karen scowled at him, clearly warning him. Jim didn't look at Karen, though. Pam looked at him, and for a moment, her heart stopped. It had been ages since he had looked at her like that. It was only then that she remembered that he wasn't hers, and he never would be.

Pam glared at him, then at the cameras, before continuing to gather her things. The whole office was silent. She slid her coat over herself, trembling, though she attempted to hide it. She knew the cameras would probably follow her all the way to the parking lot, but she didn't care. She began to walk to the door, but before she left, she turned to look at the office. "Goodbye." She just said, and walked out, tears in her eyes.

Pam sobbed for a few hours when she got home. What had she done?! She had just quit her job for such a small reason!

But slowly, she realised that it wasn't a small reason. It was many huge reasons, such as her terrible boss, her strange coworkers, the boring work, and most importantly, having to watch her ex-best friend and the man that she loved be with another woman. Pam closed her eyes and collapsed onto her bed. What would she do now?

Pam racked her brains. She thought of nothing. After a while, she decided to pick up her phone. She switched it on and saw a 10 missed calls from Jim, and 14 messages from him. Reluctantly, she read through them.
