As I walk into the moonlit space I look into the sky. Billions apon Billions of stars are scattered into the sky. And as I look, I whisper to myself "Dad, I know you are up there somewhere. Please help me. Remind me how to love. Just like I once did before you had to go away. I wish someone would love me..."  Suddenly i hear footsteps behind me. I was at the park my father used to take me to when i was smaller. So i knew no one would be here at this hour besides me. So I reach in my pocket and grab my Swiss army knife and flip it open. Waiting for the footsteps to draw closer I turn around and hold the knife up threateningly. "Who are you and what do you want?!" I demanded. "Alice, Calm down. It's just me." I heard a familiar voice say. "Oh, Sorry Jess." I say while pocketing my knife. "Did you need something?" I ask.   "Yes, I mean no.. I mean.. Not really?" She said a bit awkwardly. 

I looked at her and I could tell she was hiding something. " Jess, What is it?" I ask. "I-I have.. uh- never mind!" she said and started to walk away. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. "Jess, I've known you for 6 years. What were you going to say?" I stated. I looked in her eyes and her gaze flickered between both of my eyes and then landed on my lips for a second. "I like you Alice. I've liked you for a little while now. But i didn't know how to say it." I stood there astonished. I didn't know what to say. My best friend, Jess, Just confessed her feeling towards me.
