Fighting for my life ~ dsmp

    "I knew it."

    I turned around in horror as I heard an all too familiar voice behind me.  I stared, my eyes wide with fear, at none other than Punz.

    "What?" Punz questioned, and eyebrow raised. "Thought I couldn't access Hypixel?"

    I didn't say anything.  I felt frozen with fear.  As if there were pounds of bricks keeping me in place.

    "Purp.." I heard Walli whispered beside me.

    "I knew something was up," Punz spoke.  "You seemed too healthy for a kid that supposedly didn't have a money.  Sapnap may be naïve but I'm not.  The only place you could possibly get money to live would be Hypixel.  Especially when you're as unknown as you are back home."

    "Why?" I managed to whisper out.  Why would he follow me?  Why didn't he tell Sap? 

    "Look Purp," Punz began, "I'm not going to stop you.  I'd be a hypocrite if I did.  I used to come here too before Dream started paying me for stuff.  I am, however, going to tell Sap so he can stop worrying about you so much."

    "No!" I yelled.  "Please don't tell him!  It'll make him worry more.  You and I both know he'll stop me from coming here if he finds out."

    "Maybe that's for the best Purp," Punz said calmly.  "You're seventeen and have more scars than I do.  Your body needs to heal and you need to stop being reckless."

    "What if we compromise?" Walli chimed in.  "I know Purp is going to refuse to stop coming here and you and Sapnap don't like him coming here.  So what if we set up a schedule?  Purp only comes here on certain days and then rests for the other days."

    Punz and I both thought for a moment.  It didn't seem like a terrible idea.  I knew Punz was right.  Puffy had told me the same thing. 

    "How many days a week are we talking?" Punz asked.

    "Maybe four days a week?" Walli suggested.  "I'm thinking Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday."

    "Three days," Punz said. "Monday, Wednesday and Friday."

    "Seems fair," Walli said.  "Purp?  What do you think?  Is that fair?"

    "Yeah," I said quietly, after thinking for a moment.  It would give me the ability to rest for a while.

    "Then it's settled," Punz spoke.  "You can keep showing up here.  As long as it's on the allotted days and you have to be with your friend here."

    "And if there's an event, I can come to you and let you know that I'm going a few more days that what is scheduled?" I suggested.

    "That seems fair," Punz agreed.  "As long as you tell me.  We'll talk about telling Sapnap later.  For now, let's go home."

    I nodded.  I said my goodbyes to Walli and walked out of Hypixel with Punz at my side.  We walked in silence for a while.  I was kinda dreading the moment that we would have an actual talk. You may be thinking, "But Purpled you already had a talk with Punz!  Back when you compromised with Walli!" That was only the "in front of people" talk.  The real one will be away from people.

    "Hey Purp," Punz spoke as he stopped walking.  Shit.

    "Yeah?" I whispered as I stopped next to him.

    "You wanna visit your old home?" He asked.

    "My ufo?" I questioned. "That got blown up, remember."
