Hey everyone.

I know I haven't updated in a while, but here it is, I hope you like it.

And I will try to make this chapter longer than the others were.

Enjoy!


Ted's POV

I am really glad everyone managed to make it, it's not a lot of people, just me, Robin, Barney, Lilly, Marshall, a couple of my friends from work and surprisingly Talia, I didn't expect Talia to agree to come, but I am glad she did.

Talia looks so beautiful, she's talking to Lilly and Robin, I wonder what they're talking about, they're laughing and for some reason Robin is showing Talia my cool red cowboy boots.

I dont have time to think much about that because I see Marshall in the kitchen taking some strawberry laces out of Talia's handbag.

I walk in and tap him on the shoulder.

He jumps and turns around, hiding the packet of sweets behind his back.

"I didn't touch the sweets!" he shouts, of course no one in the living room can hear him because of the music playing.

"You know, Talia won't be happy when she finds out you have been going through her bag and eating her sweets, Marshall" I tell him, grabbing the packet from his hands.

It's just my luck and Talia walks in and see's me with the sweets in my hand, I'm actually putting them back in her bag, but to her it must look like I am going through her bag.

"Ted! What were you doing going through my bag like that? Give me those, if you wanted the sweets you could have just asked" she shouts at me, taking the sweets from my hand.

I try to explain to her that it was Marshall who took her sweets, but she grabs her handbag and just walks off.

"Dude!" I scream at Marshall, now Talia is mad at me and it wasn't even me who took them.

"Sorry Ted, I'll go explain to Talia that it was me that took her sweets" he says.

"No, dont worry about it, I will talk to her after the party" I tell him, walking out of the kitchen.


I dont see Talia anywhere, I hope she hasn't left.

I wonder if Barney knows where she is.

I see Barney standing by the fireplace, chatting to a girl from my work, what's her name again?

"Hey Barney, and..." I say, hoping to get her name, how do I not know her name?

"Jemma" she says, smiling, not looking affected by the fact that I didn't know her name.

"Got it, Barney, do you know where Talia is? She hasn't left yet, has she?" I ask, I grab Barney's attention when I mention Talia.

"I dont know where she is, but I dont think she's left yet, we agreed to split a cab" Barney tells me, before going back to talking to... I wanna say Jane...


Talia's POV

I can't believe Ted was going through my bag, why would he do that?

I run into the bathroom almost bumping into Robin on the way there.

I get in and slam the door.

I look in my bag, there gone, my scissors are gone, oh my god, Ted took them, I just know he did, oh no.

I knew I never should have put them in there!

Damnit!

I punch the mirror, bad mistake, crap.

I search through the medicine cabinet, come on, bandages, where are the bandages!

Ah! There it is.

There are some splinters of glass in my hand, I use some tweezers out of my handbag and carefully pick out the glass, luckily I can deal with a lot of pain, I grab the bandages and wrap them tightly around my knuckles.

Damn, I'm crying, now I have to redo my makeup, I can't look like I've been crying, to many questions.

I hear Robin calling my name.


Robin's POV

Talia's been acting strange all night, apart from me and Lilly she hasn't spoken to anyone that I know of, I saw her go into the kitchen I think that maybe she talked to Ted or Marshall, and she ran from the kitchen and into the bathroom with her handbag, she's been in there for a while now and I think I heard the sound of broken glass, maybe I'm wrong.


"Is Talia alright, she's been in there for a while" Lilly asks, looking concerned, or like she needs to pee, or both.

"I'm sure she's fine Lilly, probably just sorting her makeup out or something" I say to her.

"Yeah, probably, but I really need to pee" Lilly says.

"Talia, you okay in there? Lilly needs to use the bathroom" I say loudly, trying to be heard by her over the music.

"Er, yeah! I'm just sorting my makeup out, I'll be out in a sec" Talia says back.

When Talia walks out she looks a little pale, and she looks nervous.

"You sure your alright Talia?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine" she says smiling, but it seems forced.

I notice her holding her hand, why is it wrapped in some bandages?

Before I can ask, she interrupts me.

"I'm just going head outside for a bit, it's getting a little hot in here" she says, running outside and up the stairs to the roof.

I see Ted walking over to me from Barney.

"Robin, have you seen Talia?" he asks me.

"Yeah actually, she just went up to the roof" I tell him, he quickly thanks me and heads up to the roof.


Lilly's POV

Ah, that's better, hang on, why is that mirror broken?

There's a packet of bandages lying on the floor and there is some blood on the broken mirror.

Talia.

I think I saw some bandages wrapped around her left hand, but why would she punch the mirror?

I need to talk to Barney.


Marshall's POV

I wonder why Talia had these scissors in her handbag, I need to ask her about this, I think she's left though and if Ted is talking to her I dont want to interrupt.

Maybe I should talk to Lilly or Robin, or Barney! Talia's his best friend, he knows her better than anyone!

"Barney! Barney!" I shout running towards him, he's talking to a girl, and I am surprised he's not making out with her or something.

"What is it Marshall?" he asks, looking slightly annoyed.

"It's about Talia" I tell him, this interests him and he is now paying his full attention on me.

"What about her?" he asks looking concerned.

"I found this in her handbag" I say pulling out the scissors.

"Barney!" Lilly shouts, running up to us, before Barney can respond, but the look on his face is something of realisation and worry.

By now the girl Barney was talking to has left, actually so has everyone else, some party this is.

"I think there is something wrong with Talia, I think she punched the mirror" Lilly says, holding an opened pack of bandages in her hand.


-To be continued...-
