<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

A Little background, I have know her my entire life (yes all 16 years I know I'm a bit young to ask for "relationship" advice but I wanted a second opinion). We have only been close for the past three years or so. She was the only person to saw me not a fat, unhygienic, antisocial person I was but as a goofy kid with problems of my own. We grew very close other the years and so did my crush on her. 

So this started a few days ago. I was getting pretty down on myself; It's mid summer vacation and I've only seen her a handful of times. She is really the only person I talk to outside my family so I was feeling pretty alone. So I text her asking what's happening between us and why she hasn't wanted to see me. To make a long story short she told me that she was getting uncomfortable around me and was getting harassed by other telling her, "He's SO in love with you, when are you going to start dating?" She then asked if I liked her because she didn't feel the same about me. I said yes of course I love her.

She then said I should take a minute to get my emotions in check and to text her "when I was ready". So after a couple hours of self loathing I realized I probably have just ruined the best thing to happen to me. I just want things to get back to as close as it can to normal. But I still love her. She's is most likely the reason why I haven't hated my life for a good long time. I don't want her to leave. 

Should I try to stop loving her or should I just try to go back to the way things were? How do I even stop loving someone when I want them to stay in my life? I know the whole, "When you leave your high school nothing with matter" but that's not now. I'm scared of losing what I have now.
<bot>: I told my best friend that I love her. She said no and now I don't know how to fix the situation.
