It has been a year, and what a year it was. Robin had been through hell and back and still came out of this nightmare unscathed and trying to start a new life after everything had happened. Ever since her court date last week she couldn't even begin to know where to start over again. This whole thing with Ted had gotten pretty bad right before she was supposed to appear in a court room after months of being harassed and threatened. She had thought that Ted was her friend but obviously he wasn't and when she finally realized that he wasn't a friend she almost could have died. Thanks to Barney, he had been so great to her. Helping her through this in the last year. She never thought that Barney would be this guy, this amazing, sweet, caring guy who helped her through this nightmare that she seemed to not wake up from.
Barney has been so wonderful, she couldn't ask for a better friend or roommate. In the last few month she really had gotten to know him more better. She always knew he was a good guy, he has shown to be there when his friends needed him and for the last year he has been the only thing in her life that keeps her from falling apart.
After a year, Robin is here about to find out the fate of Ted after he finally shown his true colors and almost, almost raped her again.
Two month earlier!
"Robin, hey I'm heading out I will be back a few hours just make yourself at home." Barney shouted before leaving the apartment.
Robin had just moved in permanently, she was at first was just going to stay here until she can find a place better for her than the apartment that now scares her to even think about. She hears Barney shouting from the other room as she comes out to get some coffee. She is supposed to go to work in an hour but ended up calling in sick because she wanted sometime alone to think and get comfortable in her new home. This place, Barney's apartment has been something she admired. About a year after she met Barney he had invited her back to his place just for a night cap to get to know more about her. The night had gone great and they had some drinks, talked and ended up watching his big TV until it got too late and she left to go home. She had just broken up with Ted at the time and she was a little bored on this night so Barney came to the bar and they talked for a bit until they went back to his apartment.
After Barney left, Robin had made a cup of coffee and decided to make some breakfast when she heard a knock at the door. She put down the mug she was holding to answer the door.
"Ted, what are you doing here?" It had been five months since she had seen him. Ever since everything had happened they tried to stay away from each other but after months of not seeing each other this is an unexpected visit and one she didn't want to have.
"I found out that your were living here, now permanently. It was a shock, I wanted to stop by to tell you to come home. I am so sorry for hurting you Robin I truly am and I want you to come home." Ted has been thinking a lot lately about what happened between them and he's truly sorry for what he put her through and wants to have her come back to his apartment.
"Ted, listen I am happy here. I just moved in and trying to get settled in. I'm happy here, I'm not coming back to the apartment." He doesn't understand why she's here, why she's living with Barney of all people.
"I'm not here to tell you, you have to come back to my apartment but I want you to. I miss you, I know things haven't been good between us but I am sorry and I'm truly being honest here. You belong with me at my apartment not here with him." That wasn't supposed to sound the way it came out but she saw from that point on that he isn't being sincere about her going back to his apartment. It's all jealousy, it's always been this way when it comes to Barney.
"No, I'm sorry but I am happy here and I'm staying. I like it here, I feel safe and Barney's been so great to me. I was going to move to a new place but Barney convinced me to stay so I am." She hoped he understands, she isn't going to move back to his apartment and that's her final word on this.
"No, Robin you have to come home. This isn't a place for a woman like you, I don't trust Barney and I want you to come home." Ted's voice had gotten a bit more louder and annoyed every time she told him no. She noticed right away.
"I am home, this is my home Ted I am not going anywhere." This is when he started to get mad, his temper had overcome him and it truly caused his mood to change quite fast.
"No, you are coming with me." He said, his voice getting louder, spitting as he says each word.
"I don't like your temper, I'm not going anywhere. You need to leave. I'm done talking to you." He didn't leave, his mood and temper got worse from there.
"You are coming with me." He said, pulling at her arm pulling her towards the door.
"No Ted." She says trying to pull away then slapping him with her other hand.
"Yes, I don't care what you say you are coming with me." His grip on her got tighter as she tried to pull away. It got so tight and strong that her arm was starting to turn red as his nails began to dig into her skin.
"NOOOOO." She screamed. She couldn't pull away from his grasp, it only got tighter as he dragged her towards the door.
"GET OFF ME." As she said this she could hear the elevator ping and stop at the floor of the apartment.
"STOP IT, TED LET ME GO." She says shouting as he pulls her out the door of the apartment.
"Hey, what is going on here?" Barney had finished up what he had to do and came home early just in time to see Ted angrily dragging Robin out of the apartment.
Her tears started to come as Barney came just in time to see what Ted was doing to Robin.
"I'm taking her back to my apartment, where she belongs." Ted says still holding Robin's arm which started to bleed.
"Absolutely not, get your hands off her now." Ted didn't let go so Barney ended up punching him in the face to get him to stop hurting Robin.
"Oh, my, god are you okay?" Barney asks pulling Robin into him as Ted laid on the floor holding his face after Barney punched him.
"Yeah, I'm fine just glad you came when you did." She looks at him and he pulls her more closer to him as she rests her head on his chest.
"Yes, I need the police here asap. Someone didn't respect a restraining order." Barney called 911 and the police were there in the next five minutes taking Ted in handcuffs to the local station.
That was the final straw, Robin took out another restraining order and Ted got sent to jail but only for a while until the trial which is now.
"You okay?" Barney asked rubbing her leg worried that this might be too much for her to handle.
'Yeah, I'm fine just nervous about what's about to happen." Robin doesn't know what will come out of this but she hopes that something happens that will put an end to this situation she's in.
"The court now will rise, the court is now in session for the next case." The judge came in and sat behind his desk and then everyone sat down to begin the case against Ted.
"Okay, we have here an assault and stalking. How will you plead Mr. Mosby?" The judge asks as Ted is standing letting his lawyer take over that answer.
"He pleads not guilty." She knew it, she knew he would do this it was just a feeling she had since yesterday.
"As I see here, Robin Scherbatsky is suing you for claims of physically assaulting her and stalking her for months. Is that correct?" The judge asks Ted and Ted nods.
"Yes." He responds.
This is not going to go well Robin thinks. The judge looks over the case once more and concludes.
"Ted Mosby, I hereby sentence you to a year in prison and I order you to stay away from Ms. Scherbatsky." Robin's relieved as she hugs Barney.
"Oh, my I can't believe it. It's all over." Barney tells a shocked but relieved Robin who hadn't said anything since the judge gave his verdict.
"It's all over." She finally says smiling as he grabs her hand and kisses it gently.
They walk out of the courthouse hand in hand thrilled that this whole situation is finally over for good.
