A/N: Ok, I'm FINALLY back with an update. I hate computer problems! Enjoy the new chapter, and as always, please read & review!

"Thank you Officer," Ted said as he walked a local policeman to the front door.

"We will let you know when we know something," the officer said before he walked away.

Ted sighed as he shut the door. The officer basically said the same things as they did a few weeks before. No fingerprints, no witnesses, and the only thing Ted could remember from his attack was the person was wearing all black. Carly instantly tried to pin point Justin, but just because she thought she saw him on the tv didn't automatically mean that he was guilty...and Carly wasn't even for sure that it was him that she saw. When Ted walked back into the living room, and saw Carly staring out a window with tears in her eyes, it broke his heart.

"Carls..."

Carly then turned her attention to Ted, who was still standing in the middle of the room. "It's never going to end is it Ted? It's not going to end until someone is seriously hurt."

"You don't know that. This could be some crazed psycho fan..."

"Oh come on Ted, be serious! Whoever is doing this...it has to do with me," she said as she sighed. "I think its best that we spend some time apart."

"What?" Ted exclaimed as he kneeled in front of Carly. "Do you honestly think I'm going to leave you all alone during this ordeal? Whether you like it or not, I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere."

"You still want to be with me even though this person is out to get me?"

Ted then got up from his place on the floor, and moved to the couch, pulling his girlfriend close. "Baby, I love you. I've loved you since we were teenagers. Now that we are offically together, I'm not leaving you during this frightening experience, and allow the person to get to you. Your stuck with me!"

Carly smirked as Ted pulled her even closer, pressing their foreheads together. "Ted, I'm sorry. This person just seems psycho, and I don't want to see you hurt as well."

"Your battles are now my battles. Like I just said, I'm not going anywhere," Ted said as leaned in and kissed Carly. "I love you," he whispered as he began to caress her cheek.

"I love you too."

The next afternoon, Ted and Carly had Ted's entire immediate family over for a barbecue. As Ted and his brothers continued to work the grill, he glanced through the glass sliding door. Ted noticed Carly and his mom, Jan get some food ready, and he was glad to see Carly smile. He was glad she was feeling better...and if she wasn't, she was certainly hiding it well. His thoughts were then interrupted as he noticed his brother Brett wave his hand in front of his face.

"Earth to Ted!"

"What? Sorry sorry," Ted replied as he waved Brett's hand away. Brett could tell something was up as Ted continued to grill some burgers.

"You look like you have something on your mind. What's up?" Brett asked.

Out of all his family members, Brett was the only one who knew of Ted and Carly's recent troubles. "I just wish whoever is stalking Carly would go away. I get more angry each day this jackass is still out there."

"Any ideas of who it is?"

Ted only shook his head. "Carly still thinks its Justin. I certainly wouldn't put it past him to do something like this," he said as he placed some cooked hamburgers on a plate. "Anyway, lets change the subject. How long did you and Jill date before you thought about getting engaged?"

A small smile crept across Brett's face. "Oh, only about 6 months. Are you starting to think about it?"

"Well, we've only been 'offically' together like 2 months, but I know I love her. I know that I want to be with her. Am I thinking about it to soon?"

"Not necessarily," Brett said as he shook his head. "You both have loved each other since high school, and if you feel you are ready, then congrats to you bro," he said as he and Ted bumped knuckles.

"Thanks man," Ted said as Carly walked out on the deck. "Those burgers smell sure smell good! Are they ready?" she asked.

"All ready," Ted said as he placed the last of the burgers on the plate. Carly couldn't help it, and wrapped her arms around Ted's waist from behind. He turned to face her and softly smiled. "What was that for?"

Carly shrugged. "I just felt like it."

The next morning, Carly was finishing up washing dishes when she noticed Ted come into the kitchen, chipper as could be. "Where are you off to this morning?" she asked.

"I am actually going to run some errands real quick. I won't be gone long."

"Ok," Carly said nodding her head. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, that's ok. Like I said, I won't be gone long. When I get home, I have a nice surprise planned for us."

"You do, huh?" Carly asked as she wrapped her arms around Ted's neck. "Will I like this surprise?"

"I think you will," he said as he quickly kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you," Carly said as she watched Ted walk out the door. As soon as she finished up in the kitchen, Carly made her way to the living room.

There really wasn't a whole lot she could do considering she was still on crutches. She made herself comfortable on the couch with a good book. A half hour past, and just as Carly was getting to the good part in her book, she heard the doorbell ring.

"Ugh!" she exclaimed. Carly then turned the book over so she wouldn't lose her place, grabbed her crutches and headed toward the front door. When she did open it, she instantly wished she hadn't.

"Hey babe, you miss me?"
