Dunder Mifflin, This is Pam. Please Hold
She was bored. There was nothing to keep her busy. Jim and Karen went off for their interviews in Corporate. Michael was repainting his office. She had nothing to do. She decided to think of a few moments. Mainly heart-breaking moments in this office. She didn't like her job much, so why not think of completely heart-breaking moments that left her almost in tears most of the time? Everytime she answered the phone, she thought.

She remembered the time Jim came back to the office. How she put on more make-up than usual, made herself look pretty. All just to win him back. She was on a mission to bring him back, the man she loved. She remembered his first step in the office. He just gave her a hug and said nothing extremely important to her regarding Casino Night. She knew nothing would ever be the same once he stepped into that office. She felt a silent tear fall down her cheek. He had moved on. She had to accept it.

She remembered the day she saw Karen rubbing his back. She put 2 and 2 together and figured out that they were dating. She was not really happy for him. Later on, when they were leaving, he told her he was seeing someone. She actually told him the opposite of what she felt. "You can do whatever you want." she said. They had kissed. Why couldn't he just talk about it to her first, before seeing someone else? Right when she entered her car, tears started stinging her eyes and before she knew it, tears came streaming down her face like a waterfall. She had to accept him not wanting her the least bit. She had to accept that their friendship was, from then on, extinct.

She remembered when Michael came back from Jamaica. She remembered Jim coming to her with his problem. Also, it was the first time in a long time that they talked more than usual. She gave him good advice too. But, she was the reason that they were together again. Now, he'll never be with her and they'll never talk to each other like they did. She ran out of the warehouse. She sat down and she took out her hanky. She cried. She could only do that. She realised that she had to accept that they weren't friends anymore but just colleagues.

She remembered Phyllis' wedding. She had gone home with Roy. How stupid was she? She broke up with him. Why get back together with him? It was all because of Jim. He talked to her. They had a nice conversation too! He said that her being a dorky dancer was kind of cute. She had that small glimmer of hope. But, when she saw Jim and Karen, slow dancing, she couldn't take it. She just fled from the ballroom. She learnt to accept that he wouldn't want to dance with her, or even have anything to do with her.

She remembered Beach Day. She had given that speech about missing Jim. It only came up because of that day. She saw Jim and Karen having so much fun and she was just left alone. He didn't come up to talk to her, not even a bit. Not a 'hello' or a 'how are you'. He was having fun with Karen the whole time. She was so incredibly lonely. She was taking notes. On beach day! Everyone had fun, but her. Then there was her speech. The speech that had spewed out all her thoughts without thinking. As her burning feet were on the cool sand, she turned to Jim, and had said, "I called off my wedding because of you." She ran after her speech to the sea. Her feet felt better after soaking them in the salty, cooling sea and then Jim met her. They had become the close friends they were after Pam said "Well, I wish you would." Though, not as close as before, she was pretty happy. She accepted that maybe her lack of courage was the reason for every heart-wrenching moment that happened to her.
She thought about all these moments. She never had looked back but now that she had, she realised how everything that happened was her fault. But just as she was about to think about it more, she was called into the conference room. She was asked who she thought would get the job.
She knew Jim would. He was smart and ambitious. Just as she was stating her reasons on why he would get the job, someone came barging into the room.
"Pam. Sorry. Um, are you free for dinner tonight?"
"Yes."
"All right. Then... it's a date."
"I'm sorry, what was the question?"
Just as she was about to accept that maybe they have no future, he asked her out. She was just glad she didn't accept it just yet.
