They stayed there for a few weeks without the investigation moving anywhere.
"I'm off to work I have to get to the studio by 9."
"Ok love you babe."
"You too"

In L.A:
"Seriously Josh! I'm don't with your crap, this isn't ok! You can't follow me!"
She turned to leave but he grabbed her arm.
"Remember what we discussed."
"What?"
She was tempted to walk off but was curious as to what he meant.
"If you EVER leave me I will find the bitch you seem to love so much and I'll end her."
"You not serious." She almost laughed
"I know where she is staying. I know how to get in. I know what time she falls asleep."
'Jesus Christ. He was fucking serious.' She thought
"Your insane!"
"And your not going to leave."
She stepped back inside.
"Have you already done something?" She didn't want to know the answer.
"I've let her know that I can get in."
"Oh my god."
"I'm going on a work trip tonight by the way."
"What? I thought you said-"
He glared at her and she stopped
"Ok."

Two days later joe opened the door to find a few letters and boxes addressed to both of them.
"Taylor! Mail!"
"Any for me!?"
"Two!"
"Can you open them!" She shouted back from upstairs.
He opened the first letter which was just a business proposal. And then he cut the tape and opened the next package. He dropped it on the floor when he saw what was inside.
"Joe?!"
"What are the packages!"
She came down the stairs and saw him try to hide the box.
"What's that?"
"Umm uhh... it's... it's just."
"Give me-" she jokingly grabbed it from behind its back but let out a small gasp when she saw what was inside. It contained a series of photos of her sleeping, changing and in the bath, Taken from inside, a lock of her hair, the necklace that she thought was downstairs, and a framed photo of her and joe from her bedside table and 3 bullets.
"Joe I don't know what to do!" She sobbed into his chest.
"We will call the police and double the security. We can even put some outside our bedroom."

After another police report and a dead ended search they tried to get back to normal but Taylor's anxiety started to take a toll. She would wake up sweating and pale, she would loose her appetite, throw up almost daily and shake whenever Joe left the room.
"Are you going to go and do your shoot in London."
"No babe I can't leave you alone."
"I don't want to-"
"No way I'm never going to let you get hurt ever again, every time your in danger I will stay by your side."
"I love you" he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her tightly.
"I think we need to keep medical supplies in our room just to be safe."
"Yeah babe."

Karlie walked up the stone steps to Taylor's penthouse. She got through the security easily as they knew who she was but hadn't heard about her fight with Taylor, she ran the door bell and waited for an answer. She HAD to warn Taylor about josh and her number was blocked.

"Hello?.. KARLIE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE! DID YOU FLY HERE TO SEE ME! GET AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE AND DONT COME BACK!"
"......babe?" Karlie heard from inside
Taylor slammed the door in karlies face before she had even said a word. She banged on the door and shouted but Taylor was gone and her security were now walking over.

"Babe?"
"It was Karlie!"
"What!"
"I know. I can't believe she had the audacity to show up here."
"What did she say?"
"Nothing. I told her to leave before she opened her mouth."
"Good. We don't need her stirring up trouble."
He kissed her on the forehead and they went up to bed.
