Sorry for not uploading for about a week guys, I have been incredibly busy and have struggled to find the time to write. In a few weeks however I will be posting much more often.

After I met your mother

Chapter XI

"I woke up instantly afterwards, with a throbbing headache and a strong, blinding light erupting in front of me. "Huh, uhh… what is going on?" I asked as I sat up, and realised that I was struggling to talk as I sat up.

"You got in a fight. Teddy boy, my man you had a fight. So how are you feeling, was it exhilarating, well I know obviously as I am a colossal bad boy." Barney listed.

"Barney the closest you have gotten to being in a fight was when I punched you punched yourself in the face. And by the way, I did not enjoy it, it was stupid and I don't know what happened. " I told him, tired.

"He kicked your ass, that's what." Barney fired. "This random taxi driver saw it and tackled Louis to the ground as he had knocked you out cold. "

"Where's Tracy?" I asked him, interested in where she was.

"She was here all of this morning, but she had to go to work, so that was what she did. " Barney informed me.

"What has happened to Louis?" I asked.

"Oh. Nothing all he did was that he punched you in the face, Ted grow up." He said matter of factly.

"Not if he is in prison you idiot, what happened between him and Tracy?" I asked eagerly.

"No need to worry bro, she slapped him real good, I played a guy who was at the scene to vine the slap as a slap cam vine, and it has now gone Viral."

"I didn't really need to know that last bit… But ok." I said.

So, Barney and me caught up from when we had seen each other a few days before. Barney had got a new job, something that he could do at the same time and also do his blog at the same time, which he was enjoying. He told me truthfully that he thought that Robin was turning into a workaholic, as she worked late nearly every night. It was early December at this point, and I asked Barney what he was doing over Christmas. He said that he was spending it with Robin's family up north in Canada, and he was looking forward to that. I did not know what I was going to do, as my dad had died a few months earlier, and I was still getting over it. In this situation I would have spent Christmas with him and his 35 year old girlfriend in Cleveland, so I decided right then to spend it with my Mum and Clint, as I had not really spoken to my mum in about a month.

I got out of the hospital a few hours later, and they gave me the thumbs up.

Work already knew that I was off work today as I was sick, which was not entirely true, but I spent the day watching Star Wars in Tracy's and my apartment. That evening, when we went out for dinner we decided that we should talk about what had happened with Louis. That is why I loved Tracy and I still do! (I finished when I got a frightening look from Tracy) we talked about this sort of stuff. In previous relationships like with Robin, we would never have talked about this, and it was great that we cared so much about each other that we both stimuloustainly decided that it was the right decision. "Ted, I never loved Louis. Sure, we went out for 3 years, but I didn't feel the sort of connection I feel with you. I am not going to go back to him." Tracy told me later that night.

I smiled then, the sort of smile, which you try and hide, to hide your delight, but I smiled fully at her, as I did not need to hide anything from her. That night is now a blur from my mind, of fancy food which we had gone for, but now, I don't know what the restaurant even served, all I remember from that night was that I was with Tracy, the woman that I loved and who understood me, where others did not understand me. She was my other half. I was never suspicious of her or Louis again.

Sorry guys for the short update but that is all that I have got for today. Leave a comment to help me improve, no flames please just give me some constructive criticism, which I could help, improves the series.
