November 15th 2024, The accident.

Barney stood outside his. He jumped at the sound of Robin slamming the door, and saying she hated him. Should he go back, tell her the truth. Tell her everything.

"No." He said, he wanted that makeup sex. He yelled back into the door. He would tell her, but he wouldn't face her, not now.

He wouldn't ever tell her, but those words hurt him a little.

"Check the suitcase." He jumped in his car and drove towards Ted's house. He lived on the other side of town. He would take a short cut, it was a dirt road, that not many knew about.

One other person had that short cut in mind too. Barney had been driving for almost 10 minutes now. He picked up his phone, and found Robin number. He would just send her a text.

He just looked down at his phone for a second, he didn't even have time to move out of the way of the guy in front of him. The man who was on the wrong side of the road, swerving back and forth.

Barney didn't see the bright headlights until it was two late. He hit Barney at full speed. Barney lost control of the car. He felt it flipped, then it flipped again and again.

The car stopped when he hit a tree down a hill that led into some woods. Barney try to get free, but he was in to much pain.

"Help." He tried to mumble out. He knew no one could hear him, he wondered if the guy was ok, he knew that highway was just up the road, he probably didn't make it that far. Barney was right, the driver that hit him had ran into a light pole right beside the highway.

Barney hope help would come soon, but he was down in the woods, how would any find him. He doubt the other guy would tell the cops about the guy he hit, no. He wouldn't be found. He thought.

He looked around for his phone and saw it on the ground of the passenger side seat, but he couldn't reach it, he was pinned down by his seat belt.

"Dumb things." He said he tried to get free.

He could feel himself growing weaker and weaker. He thought about Robin and his kids. Wondered if they would ever see them again.

Tears filled Barney eyes when he heard his phone go off. It played the song what I like about you.

It was Robin, she was only one in his phone with a special ringtone.

"Robin, I can't." Barney said reaching for the phone.

He whinched back in pain and cried out.

"Please, someone help."

Barney heard the phone again, he slowly fell to sleep from the pain.

"Hey, is someone down there."

Barney barley opened his eyes, he knew he heard something. He tried to look around, but he couldn't move or feel his legs.

He heard the voice again.

"Hey, anyone there."

It was man.

"Yes, yes. My name is Barney. Please help me." Barney cried out, he hurt so much to say those few words.

"Alright, we will have help down there soon.

It was a few moments later when Barney saw three men at his car.

"Hey man your safe now." Said one as he tried pulling on Barney's door. It was stuck.

"Where going to have to cut you out." The man said as he grabbed a tool from a box and began to cut Barney's seatbelt.

Once it was off, the two men slowly pulled Barney out, very carefully. They carried him up the hill, and got him in the abulence that was parked a little ways up.

"Hey, there was another guy, did he." Barney mumbled out.

"Yeah we got him, if we didn't see your paint on his car, we might not have found you until later. You've been out there for four hours now, your lucky to be alive."

Lucky, he wasn't lucky. He felt so much pain.

They loaded him in the back, and were about to close the door, when Barney cried out,

"My wife, please call her. Robin Stinson, her number is in my phone, in my car. Passeneger side."

The man nodded and grabbed out a walkie talkie, and told the other guy on the end about Barney's request.

The man said he would as soon as possible, he was walking to back to Barney's car now.

"Thank you." Barney said as he slowly past back out.
