Yes there is a thing like second person. but i can explain to you from different point of view.

First person point of view: Narration from the perspective of "I" or "We." Narrators may be involved with the action or may simply observe it; they may also be reliable or unreliable

Second person point of view: Story told from the perspective of "you" (uncommon). Example: Lorrie Moore's "How to Become a Writer."

Third person limited omniscient point of view: Point of view in which one third-person character's thoughts are revealed but the other characters' thoughts are not.

First person refers to yourself as 'I' or 'me' or 'we'.
Second person refers to the person you are talking to as 'you'.
Third person is a person you are talking about as 'he', 'she', or 'they'

1st person = "I go up the stairs"
2nd person = "You go up the stairs"
3rd person = "He goes up the stairs"

Second person is by far the least common.
