<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

As the title says, I have a crush on this girl I've been friends with for maybe 9 months now. The thing is, she was together with a friend of mine from last summer to sometime around December where he decides he didn't want to continue anything with her any longer. She didn't take it well, and I was pretty much there to help her out to make her feel better. 

We stopped talking for about a month, because I felt that I couldn't keep helping her get over my friend anymore because it was bother me since I had feelings for her. She doesn't know that, as far as I know. We started talking again not too long ago and all those feelings came back. I really like this girl, but at the same time, I'm afraid that if I try anything with her, she'll shut me down and I'll lose her as a friend. It's happened before, and I can't see this time being any different from other times. 

I'm going to keep this short. I like her and I want to be more than friends, if not at the very least hook up with her. I just don't know how I should go about this, and as pathetic as this sounds, I would really appreciate someone's take and advice if they have any. Lay it on me; be as brutal as need be, but please help!
