A little drabble of Robin's POV on Barney's engagement to Quinn.
"We are engaged!"
Those words cut through her heart like a bullet but she put on a happy face anyway. She wanted to be supportive, for Barney because even though I do love him I want him to be happy.
"I'm happy for you."
Yeah, I really am but am devastated because I lost my chance with him.
When he asked me to run away with him I just had to smile because if I had the guts to, I would have ran off into the bright sunny day with the man I love. However, I was still serious when I told him that I am happy for him because really I am.
This little conversation, I wish I could tell him I love him and want to run off with him because it's the only thing I truly want. Barney. He's my whole life, now i'm losing him to another women. I can't believe this is how I thought my life would be. Last year, I thought for a while that I was over him. Truly over him. Then, I realized that I wasn't. And, then we slept together, my god how did my life become a crazy drama? I should have told him how I felt sooner and now he's seemingly happy with someone else. Someone who isn't me... I love you Barney, it's all I want to say but when Quinn reappears in the living room smiling and kissing Barney I knew I just had to let him go.
