"Jake?" Someone whispered.

I groaned and rolled over. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and opened one eye. It was Avia, peering around the lump of sheets and pillows on my bed.

"Mmmm" I moaned softly.

I rolled on to my back, and stretched my arms. The light flickered on, and I recoiled.

"Sorry." Said Emmi, from the doorway, her hand on the light switch.

I nodded my head, and sat up.

"Morning." Avia said.

"Good morning!" I replied.

My name is Jake Belanger. I play Center for the LA Kings of the NHL. The Butler family, (better known as the Shaytards on youtube) are my billets.

I patted the bed to either side of me, gesturing to Avia and Emmi.

"Come sit with me. I can't move yet." I told them.

They came and sat down on either side of me, Avia on the right, and Emmi on the left.

I reached over Emmi, and grabbed the remote off of of my bedside table.

I flicked the TV on, and changed the channel to hockey highlights from some Swedish league.

"Are those the teams you're gonna play against?" Asked Avia curiously.

"Nope." I replied. "I'll show you some highlights later from the players and teams that I'm playing."

"Ok." Avia agreed.

"Girls!" Colette called from the kitchen.

Both Avia and Emmi went running out of my suite, and down the hallway. A second later, they returned, each carrying a platter of food.

"Breakfast in bed!" Avia announced, smiling as she set the plate down on my bedsheets beside me.

Emmi put her platter down as well, and I groaned.

"I don't think I'm gonna be able to eat this all. Think you girls can help me?" I asked.

They nodded, and I gestured toward the food.

"Dig in!" I said.

I grabbed a pancake from the first plate, and poured a bit of syrup over it. I smiled with satisfaction as I bit into it, and lay back in bed.
