May 2012!
It was the night when Barney announced his engagement to Quinn. Marshall and Lily had just put little Marvin down for a nap and after Marvin was asleep they all went into the living room and talked. Of course, both Marshall and Lily were happy for them, they opened a bottle of champaign which Ted had given them in honor of their son being born. The night went pretty quickly, everybody wondered where Ted was but Robin well she had to leave because this news was too much for her to handle. So, she headed down to the bar and spent four hours drinking and talking to this guy who was sitting with her at the bar. Robin was so drunk that the guy was nice enough to help her get home, the guy was not only nice but handsome and looked a lot like Barney. He had blue eyes and blonde hair, he was tall and slender and he was wearing a suit. She thought great, just when she wanted to completely get Barney off her mind this man comes into MacLaren's wearing this dark navy blue suit and looking really handsome and just like her Barney. "Oh, great" Robin said out loud so the good looking man could hear it even in her drunk stooper she was loud enough for at least 2 or 3 people sitting around the bar could hear her. "What?" The man said sitting next to Robin at the bar. "Oh, nothing." Robin said going back to her almost finished 3rd shot of Scotch. "You know, a lady shouldn't, no let me start that over. A, beautiful lady like yourself shouldn't be in a bar at 1am." The man said wondering why Robin was all alone drinking by herself and all ready seems a bit drunk. "Don't, don't be that person I don't need a shrink I need another Scotch." She said loud enough so the bar tender could hear her. "Um, do you really need that Scotch?" The man said taking the shot glass away from Robin's grasp.
"Look, I don't know you, you don't know me and I just want us to stop talking long enough to have that Scotch you're holding." Robin wasn't having any of it, not right now. All she needed was to whip Barney off her mind but this man who looked a lot like Barney wasn't helping her pathetic state.
"I' I am sorry but I can't let you drink yourself into a stooper. You're much too pretty to be at a bar a 1 in the morning. You should be home in bed sleeping." The man said and Robin just shock her head and started crying. Yeah, Robin Scherbatsky gave up the fight with this man over some drink she desperately needed and decided to go home. But, when she got up from the chair she had been sitting on she almost fell onto the floor but the nice, good looking Barney man helped her up before she could fall flat on her face. "Okay, I will help you get to where you're going." The man said before asking Robin for her address. The man took out his cell phone and called a cab, he didn't want Robin going home alone without supervision so he left the bar and got into the cab with her. They went to her new apartment that felt really empty and lonely but Robin knew that because it was her own doing why she is alone.
"Hey, I want to thank you for helping me get home but I really don't need you anymore so you can go to wherever it is you came from." Robin said as they walked up to her front door.
"It's no problem." The man said smiling lightly at Robin who now has her door to her apartment open.
"Okay, so thank you again." Robin said as she stepped inside her apartment before closing the door behind her.
June 2012!
After a few weeks had past Robin felt fine with Barney's engagement so she tried her best to be happy for him but it was harder than she thought because everytime she saw Barney or something that reminded her of Barney caused her relapse into that crazy drunken lady she was just weeks ago. So, after another week had past Robin focused on her work. She was really starting to love her job and after becoming famous for that one mishap with the helicopter everybody loved her at her job.
So, another Friday night rolled around and the gang plus Quinn was at MacLaren's talking about Barney's wedding and once again Robin was back to be a mess over Barney's engagement. She tried so hard to let him be happy but she wasn't happy. She knew that. Robin isn't the one who would try desperately to win Barney back (oh right, she is that person or at least was that person) but she wasn't that person anymore and she tried not to be because look where that got her last year. Barney was like a drug to her and a drug that was so addicting that she couldn't stop using it. Picking another man over Barney was the worst and most wrong choice she ever made and she regrets even more now that Barney is engaged to someone else who she tried to like but just didn't.
That night at MacLaren's was the worst night of Robin's life well one of the worst moments/nights of her life. She decided it'll be best for her to leave and go home but all she did was start drinking wants she got in her door. She never was the type to drink so much that she would get drunk but lucky for her she was at home. Home, alone with nobody to talk to and that was more painful than watching the two engaged love birds talk for hours about their wedding.
The next morning came and Robin woke up with the worst handover of her life. She felt like she had been hit by a truck so she went into the bathroom took some Advil and water and then had to put up a big pot of coffee. The Advil and coffee helped her hangover and then she went to take a shower and got dressed. She didn't know what happened the night before exactly all she knew was that she was at the bar but then went home because she didn't want to know about Barney's up coming wedding. Later that day, Robin was walking down the street and literally ran into the guy she never thought she would see again.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Robin said looking up to see the man who helped her home that night at MacLaren's.
"Hi" Robin followed up smiling at the nice guy who helped her get home safely that crazy night.
"Hi there." The man said smiling back at Robin.
"I want to apologize for being drunk off my ass that night." Robin said laughing and shaking her head in embarrasment.
"Oh, no need to be embarrased it was my pleasure to help a beautiful woman get home safely after being drunk off her ass." He said laughing and winking cutely at Robin.
"I wanted to ask you that night but I was too drunk to get out the words smoothly. But, what is your name?" Robin had been thinking about that night and about this man who helped her not get killed while being sticken drunk.
"Rob"
"Robin"
They shook hands and after Rob asked for Robin's number and after a few hours of not calling cause he was going to work when they saw each other but he did call later that night to ask her out on a date and Robin excepted.
