"Me and Nora broke up" Of course I couldn't tell them why we broke up, that would mean Lily would try and get involved and I really didn't need her trying to 'help'. They all said their condolences of course, I mean it was a unwritten law that when someone goes through you try and make them feel better, but I didn't need that. When the clock hit midnight Robin would walk through that door and we could start the amazing night I had planned.
"Hi Robin" Ted shouted signally her arrival. I immediately looked up the see the only woman who could ever make me want to settle down walking through the door.
"Hi Kevin" Ted added. I was puzzled at first but then I saw why, following Robin was Kevin. It was like someone had thrown a rock at my heart. Kevin and Robin were still together. Robin had chosen Kevin over me. Who could blame her? Kevin hadn't slept with over 200 women. Kevin hadn't lied his way though what could barely resemble a love life. But Kevin would never love Robin like I did.
As she went to sit at our booth she turned and looked at me and simply shook her head, a simple gesture which made my life grind to a halt. Everything froze as I realized that any hope I had of a future within Robin was pointless, and would never happen.
I quickly left. I had to get rid of all of the evidence that I had planed a special night for me and Robin. When I got up to her and Ted's apartment I quickly unlocked the door and stepped inside Robin's room and using the bag I had bought them here in I started to pick up the rose petals that littered the bed.
I started the blow out the candles I had spread out the room. As I blew them out I realized that me and Robin were never going to happen so I should just give up and let her go.
Of course if I had really given up on Robin I never would have ended up on the roof that fateful Christmas night. But that was still to come.
