Takes place after 'The Burning Beekeeper' 7x15
Not very good, sorry! D:
"Lily, Lily!" Barney whispered into the cell phone which he had gripped tightly in his shaking hands. His eyes darted around the dark room, only lit dimly by the phone's glow.
"Barney..?" Lily replied, she sounded sleepy and Barney instantly felt a pang of guilt for waking her. It quickly went away when he heard somebody yell his - fake - name out from another room. He whimpered.
"S-she found me Lil," he whispered, his voice cracking.
"Who?" Lily asked, sitting up and fully awake now. Marshall, who had awoken at the phone ringing, leaned in curiously.
"Your neighbor!" he hissed softly, "s-she has a cheese knife Lil," he cried. Lily gasped, muttering a few curses.
"Stay there Barney, I'll call the police, I'll be there soon!" she said, hanging up soon after, leaving Barney sobbing softly in his suit room, in a closet hidden at least five meters back behind his suits.
"Lilypad, who was that?" asked Marshall sweetly, concern filling his voice.
"Out neighbor, she has a cheese knife and is at Barney's apartment," Lily said quietly, eyes wide with panic. Marshall gasped, grabbed the phone from Lily's hands, and dialed 911.
When the police arrived, they busted down Barney's front door to find the man curled in a ball at the feet of a read-headed woman. He had now shirt on a a few bleeding cuts covered his body. His belt was undone and she was screaming at him to take it off, kicking him and punching him. The police had her within a second, taking the knife and pulling her out of the apartment.
Lily pushed past the cops as they dragged the woman out, and as soon as Barney was in her sight, she ran to him. The man was shaking and sobbing softly, curled in on himself. Lily pulled him into a sitting position and hugged him, stroking his hair and whispering comforting words to him. Soon two more arms joined, and then another pair, and then another. Barney looked up, the rest of the gang had joined, seeing it on the news right away and seeing police cars.
Barney smiled a bit, he was glad to know that he had friends like these.
It was then that he decided that he was done sleeping with random women.
