One Star Night

Hannah is lying on her bed next to her best friend Caroline. They talk, because that is what best friends do. The only strange thing about it is, Hannah never talks.
Caroline is stunned that she has never talked to anyone in the past seven years. But they talk about everything. Wouldn't you if you have never talked before.
They talked about dreams, they talked about life, they talked about heaven, they talked about angels, they talked love (boyfriends), everything imaginable.
Then Caroline asked her why she had never talked to anyone until now. And Hannah replied " I no longer want to live a one star night". Caroline was puzzled by this answer, she wasn't quite sure what she meant by "one star night"?
Hannah explained it to her. "Some people live a ten star night. Surrounded by a few friends and family. Others, might live a hundred star night, a little more out there. A lot more family and friends. A lot of people though, live a thousand star or more, they have neighbors, friends etc. And some of them believe the world revolves around themselves, some the other way around. "
She concludes "But there is one more life among them, a one star night. They're usually shy, have some disability, or something that makes them think they're either too good for the world, or feel unworthy. And that kind of person is me."
Caroline felt sorry for Hannah after hearing this. She tried to comfort her by saying "no, you don't live a one star night. You said people who live a one star night live alone you have me and the whole world to help you, all you have to do is trust, believe, and jump."
Hannah felt both happy and sad, she felt glad to have her best friend with her, but sad because she didn't think she was ready to jump into the world again.
But then Caroline held her hand out to her and said "don't worry I'll help you, you're not in this alone."
