Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 91927" data-attributes="member: 57167">A little bit later, in Bobby and Pam’s room. Bobby had gone out for the afternoon’s work and Pam was sitting alone on the bed, looking at her mobile. She was really not looking forward to this as breaking up with someone was never easy. But since her life was here in Dallas with Bobby and Christopher she knew what she had to do. She sighed before she speed dialed Richard. He picked up after two rings. “Pam finally!” He answered the phone. “I mean it is really you this time isn’t it?” “Yes Richard, it’s me,” Pam confirmed.  “Good, why haven’t you called me before?” Richard asked. “I’ve been worried sick about you!”“I know Bobby mentioned it…”“Bobby?”“Yeah Rebecca’s spent some time getting to know her father this summer. Didn’t I mention that?”“No you only said that you were going to Dallas to visit your brother and try to patch things up with your son. You never mentioned anything about Bobby…”“Well he is Christopher’s father. So I assumed you knew I’d be seeing him…”“This is just great,” Richard snorted. “Here I am in LA worrying about you, while you’re patching things up with your ex…”“I’m sorry Richard. I really didn’t think you’d be worried about me. I mean I told you that Rebecca and I were going to Dallas over the summer…” “Yeah, but I thought you would call me while you were there. I mean it’s been two months Pam!”“I know I should have called you before. I really didn’t mean to worry you,”  Pam apologized. “But so much has happened since I left LA.”“Too much for you to pick up the phone and tell me you’re ok?”“I’m sorry Richard, but there were some things I needed to straighten out on my own, before I talked to you…”“Things that involves your ex-husband?” Richard asked jealously.  “Yeah and Christopher,” Pam said.“That’s right, how did things go with your son?”“Better than expected,” Pam smiled. “He’s forgiven me. So I have my son back now and it feels wonderful.”“Well I am glad for you. I know how much you’ve missed him,” Richard offered. “So how did Rebecca take it?”“Oh Rebecca’s fine. She’s charmed the whole family and she spends a lot of time playing with her cousin Margaret. They are about the same age so…”“And Rebecca and Christopher, how do they get along?”“Fine,” Pam replied. “At first I was worried that Christopher would blame Rebecca for my leaving him. But he’s been really mature about the whole thing. Then again he’s not really a child anymore, as he’ll be 14 in two weeks.”“You’ve missed a lot of time with him.”“Yeah, too much but I won’t miss anymore. He’s gonna be a part of our lives from now on,” Pam said meaning her and Rebecca’s lives.Richard however misinterpreted it, “Good, then I’ll look forward to meet him when he comes and visits you in Los Angeles.”“Um…” Pam hesitated, before she went on. “Richard I don’t think Christopher will come to LA.”“I don’t understand, why not?”Pam sighed. Alright here it goes. She worked up the courage to level with him. “Because I’m not going back to LA, Rebecca and I have decided to stay in Dallas,” Pam finally dropped the bomb and as she did Richard could feel his heart sinking.“Oh I see,” Richard said, trying not to show how much this news hurt him. “So where does that leave us?”“I’m sorry Richard, but it’s over.”“Over?”“Yeah. I mean you’ve been really good to me and I do love you but…”“You love Bobby more, is that it?”“How did you know?”“Pam, I’ve always known that you weren’t completely over him. I mean most people don’t have pictures of their ex-husbands all over their houses,” Richard pointed out.Pam smiled, “I guess you’re right. I hope you know that this has nothing to do with you. It’s just that I’ve loved Bobby almost all of my adult life. So when he forgave me for leaving him things just worked out between us…”“So you are back with him then?”“Yes,” Pam confirmed. “I’m sorry for cheating on you. I know I should have ended things with you earlier but…”“You don’t have to make up excuses Pam. I understand.”“Good, I’m glad that you’re taking this so well. I mean a part of why I haven’t called you before was because I was afraid you’d get angry with me…”“Well I’m not angry. I just wish that you’d leveled with me before. It’s been hell not knowing where we stood.”“I can understand that and I’m really sorry for putting you through that.”“Well at least now I know,” Richard replied sadly.“Yeah so I guess there’s really not anything left for us to say,” Pam said.“You haven’t mentioned the house!”“You want my house?” Pam asked.“I might be interested in it, if you’re planning on selling it that is?”“I haven’t really thought that far ahead yet. But I’ll let you know once I’ve reached a decision ok?”“Okay,” Richard nodded.“Oh and Richard?”“Yeah?”“Thanks for being such a gentleman about all this.”“You’re welcome, oh and Pam?”“Yeah?”“Give Rebecca a hug for me and tell her that I’m going to miss her,” Richard said. “Will do,” Pam said, as she was trying to keep her emotions in check.“And take care of yourself.”“I will. Bye Richard,” Pam said and hung up the phone. She then wiped away a tear from her cheek, as it had been hard breaking up with Richard. He had been really good to her at a time when she desperately needed a man in her life. But she’d known that things were over between them the moment Bobby had asked her to return to Southfork. So it really was better having made it official, so that she was free to marry Bobby.</blockquote>
