"Ted told you the big secret?" Marshall asked me when I walked into their apartment.

"Yeah. He also told me she ran out on him." I groaned.

"What's the matter with you?" Lily asked.

I looked at Ted. He hasn't told them. Thank god.

"I really need a drink."

"It's almost midnight, Aria." Lily replied.

"Ted?"

"Coming." We walked downstairs.

"Hey, so thanks for earlier. You're a good friend." I said and then I walked inside the bar.

Inside were both Robin and Barney. They both looked at me. "I can't." I muttered and turned around upset.

"Aria!" I heard Robin's voice. "Let go of me, Ted. Aria!" She catch up with me.

"Leave me alone, Robin."

"I am so sorry."

"I so don't care."

"Please. I didn't mean that. He was being nice and I just..."

"I know exactly what happened. Because this is exactly what happened with me, Robin. I know how charming he is. I just thought you'd have some respect towards me."

"I do. Aria, you're my best friend."

"Friends don't do that to each other." I walked past her and got into a cab.


The next day I opened the door and Robin was there. "What are you doing here?"

"Aria, I am truly sorry. And I can't do this anymore. I wanna be your friend again. And I'm sorry I won't do that again."

"Robin..."

"Please Aria. I miss you."

I looked at her before pulling her tight and hugging her. "I miss you too." I whispered. "Barney found out."

She looked at me. "What?"

"Yeah..."

"What did he say?"

"What do you think? He acted like Barney."

"I'm sorry, Aria."

"Whatever."
