With the "Enemy"

It had been 3 weeks since Steve had kissed Jackie and 3 weeks of unanswered phone calls and texts on Jackie's part. She just couldn't face the fact that she was-was in love with Steve Mason. The same Steve Mason she saw as another brother ever since she met him.
Add in the fact Jackie still wasn't sure about her feelings about Crosby and you got yourself one confused girl. Jackie didn't really have anyone who she could talk to, the Bruins would just give her crap and most of her teammates would just fangirl. There was one person Jackie could always count on: Hilary Knight.
That is how Jackie Giroux found herself wrapped in a blanket on her teammate's couch with a cup of hot chocolate. She was even more confused now that she heard all of this mess out loud.
"OK, let me get this straight. Flyers goalie Steve Mason kissed you and you did nothing, but you have feelings for Sidney Crosby? Girl, what have you gotten yourself into?" Hilary asked taking a sip of her own hot chocolate.
"I don't know!" Jackie cried "I always thought Steve thought of me as a sister, I didn't know he liked me that way."
"Maybe you should just him how you feel," Hilary offered.
"That's the thing Hill, I don't know how I feel. I always thought Steve was my second brother, never did I have a crush on him!" Jackie cried burying her face.
"Maybe you should kiss Crosby and see if it's the same."
"What?"
"I said, why don't you kiss Crosby and see if it's the spark is the same," Hilary said.
"Are you insane?" Jackie yelled, "I can't go around kissing guys all willy nilly. Do you have any idea how bad that would make me look?"
"Then get him to kiss you."
"How would I do that?" Jackie asked.
"Ask him on a date, make the first move. It's the twenty first century girl, go do whatever you want," Hilary said.
"I don't have time for this Hill," Jackie snapped, "We have that really important game against the stars coming up and I need to focus."
"Whatever you say Jack. I'm just saying the penguins will be in Boston next week so it's now or never."
"I really hate you sometimes, now let's go we have practice," Jackie said.
"Right behind you!"
After practice Jackie made her way to TD Gardens, she does have a job after all. She wasn't expecting much when she walked passed the Bruins locker. Jackie most definitely was not expecting Torey Krug to jump out in front of her.
"Sergei Bobrovsky."
"What?" Jackie asked.
"Sergei Bobrovsky, that's who you have a crush on," Torey said.
"Torey, honey. You're 24 and married, it think, why are you so interested in who I might want to date?" Jackie asked, very confused about the situation she was in.
"Hamilton has been trying to figure out who it is and I've been helping. Frankly I really want to know who," he said?
"Tor is it Bobrovsky?" Dougie Hamilton asked coming out of nowhere.
"I don't know Dougie, she never answered me," Torey said, looking right at Jackie.
"No! It's not him and Dougie, why are you so interested in my love life?" Jackie asked.
"Jack, you know you're basically my older sister and as your younger brother it is my duty to snoop around in things that are none of my business. As a sister yourself you must understand," Dougie said.
"I guess you're right, but it's getting very annoying," Jackie told him.
"See, you agree with me," Torey pointed out.
"I never said I agree, I just said I understand where you're coming from. Now if you two idiots would move I need to go talk to a certain Finnish goalie," Jackie said, scooting by Dougie and Torey.
The fact Jackie need a guy's reference in all of this, is how Jackie found herself banging down Tuukka Rask's door. She really didn't know what to do in this situation, but she figured Tuukka might know. After all she already told him he's a motherly figure and gives great advice.
"RASK! Open this door right now before I kick it down!" Jackie yelled still pounding on his door until someone grabbed her hand.
"JACKIE!" the person impersonated her, "Stop trying to break my door down."
"Tuukka I thought you would be inside," Jackie said.
"Well, I'm not," he said opening the door, "Now what do you want?"
"I really need to talk to you."
"Bout what?"
"Steve Mason kissed me," Jackie blurted out.
"And why is that important you had to try to break down my door?"
"Because I liked it!" Jackie yelled.
"Still not seeing the picture here."
"Tuukka I liked-like-whatever, I have a crush on Sidney Crosby. Now I'm not so sure about that," Jackie said, "SO I came here for answers."
"Why didn't you go to one of your hockey friends on the Blades?" he asked.
"I did!" Jackie cried.
"Who did you go to?"
"Hilary Knight."
"What did she say?"
"She said I should asked Sid out on a date and kiss him and see if it's the same," Jackie said.
"Why don't you, problem solved."
"I can't do that, he'll know something's up," Jackie said.
"Ask Malkin to set you two up, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to. Also you would know if Sid likes you back," Tuukka offered.
"That's perfect thanks Tuukka. I can always count on you for advice," Jackie said hugging Tuukka and running out of the department.
"You're welcome, I think!" Tuukka called after her, "She is such a strange girl."
