    I woke up feeling decently fine.  My head wasn't pounding but my side and my stomach was hurting.  I looked around not knowing where I was.  Then I remembered I was at Puffy's house.  I heard a soft knock the door and went to open it.

    "Good morning," Puffy said with a smile.  "I made breakfast if you'd like some." 

    I gave Puffy a small nod then closed the door.  I got changed before I left the room.  I walked into the kitchen with DogChamp at my side.  Puffy was sitting at the table and waved me over.  I sat down, telling DogChamp to lay down.  In front of me was a plate with toast, eggs, and bacon on it.  I noticed that I had significantly more bacon than Puffy did.

    "I'm not to sure what you normally give DogChamp so I made some extra bacon.  I hope that's okay," Puffy said as if she had read my mind.

    "Thanks," I whispered.  I'm not used to this.  Normally I eat a piece of bread or something like that.  I'm going to have to repay Puffy in someway. 

    I gave DogChamp the majority of my bacon as I ate the toast and eggs.  I finished eat but Puffy was still eating so I waited for her.  The least I could do is help with cleaning up.  Puffy finished eating so I got up and grabbed both our plates and went to the sink.

    "I can get the dishes Purpled," Puffy spoke.  "You don't have to worry about it."

    I didn't say anything and continued to wash the dishes.  Puffy tried to help me but I shook my head.  She finally agreed to let me wash the dishes.  I finished the dishes and walked back to my room.  Before I opened the door Puffy spoke.

    "I have to run a few errands, I'll be back soon though." I nodded my head and went into my room.

    The room Puffy is letting me use is actually quite nice.  There's a bed, a nightstand, a dresser and a desk with a chair.  The walls were a basic cream color and the white curtains covering the window complimented it.  I decided to just lay back down and shut my eyes.  I didn't mean to fall back asleep but I ended up doing just that.

    I woke up feeling slightly better than before.  My body wasn't hurting too bad so I took that as a win.  I got up and walked out of my room.  It didn't sound like Puffy was back yet so I went to the bathroom hoping to find where she kept the bandages.  Luckily I found them in one of the cabinets in the bathroom. 

    I took off my hoodie and changed the bandages on my wounds.  While I was changing them, I took a second to see just how bad I had been hurt.  There was a decent sized scar on the right side of my body that reached from the front of my body to the back.  Luckily that one hadn't been too deep.  I had another scar that was more of an oval on my stomach.  This one wasn't too big but it had hurt like hell when I got it.  I reapplied the bandages then put my hoodie back on.

    I walked out of the bathroom just as the main door to the house opened.  I walked to the living room and saw Puffy standing there with a ton of bags in her hands.  She noticed I was standing there and smiled.

    "Hey Purpled," Puffy greeted.  "Would you mind helping me with the groceries?"

    I walked over and took half of the bags she was carrying.  We walked into the kitchen and set the bags on the table.  Much to Puffy's protest, I helped her put everything away.  She had bought enough food for us and DogChamp to last at least a month.  I tried giving her money to repay her but she refused to take it.

    "You being here is payment enough," Puffy told me. 

    I kept trying to pay her but she was insistent on me keeping the money.  Eventually I gave up and went to sit on the couch.  Puffy put the last bit of the groceries away then came and sat on the couch as well.
