Could this actually be love?

More than friends.

Denise woke up on the hard floor, her body aching and her head pounding.

She knew she had to get up and get ready, but she didn't know how she was going to make it through the day.

She decided to go hang out with her friends, Hannah, Luhan, and Dylan at Hannah's house.

When she arrived, they noticed that she was acting differently than usual.

Hannah, in particular, was concerned.

She knew that Denise was going through something, and she wanted to help.

After some prodding, Denise finally opened up to Hannah about the abuse she was experiencing at home.

Hannah was shocked and saddened by what she heard.

She wanted to help Denise in any way she could.

"Denise, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. You don't deserve to be treated that way," Hannah said.

Denise looked at Hannah, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know what to do, Hannah. I don't know how to make it stop," she said.

Hannah took Denise's hand. "You don't have to go through this alone. We're here for you, and we'll do whatever we can to help," she said.

Denise smiled weakly. "Thank you, Hannah. I don't know what I'd do without you guys," she said.

As the day went on, Denise started to feel better.

She laughed and joked with her friends, forgetting about her problems for a little while.

Hannah couldn't help but feel drawn to Denise. She admired her strength and resilience in the face of such adversity.

She tried to ignore her feelings, not wanting to jeopardize her friendship with Denise.

They all continued hanging out together, but later in the evening, Dylan and Luhan had left the house, leaving Denise and Hannah alone.

The girls decided to have a sleepover and watch movies all night.

They made popcorn, got cozy on the couch, and started the movie.

As the night went on, they talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company.

As they were sitting around watching a movie, Hannah couldn't take it anymore.

She turned to Denise and said, "Denise, there's something I need to tell you."

Denise looked at Hannah, curious. "What is it?" she asked.

Hannah took a deep breath. "I have feelings for you, Denise.

I know it's wrong, and I don't want to make things weird between us, but I couldn't keep it to myself anymore," she said.

Denise was taken aback. She had never thought of Hannah in that way before.

But as she looked into her eyes, she realized that she felt the same way. "Hannah, I have feelings for you too," she said.

They leaned in and kissed, their lips meeting in a soft embrace.

After the movie, they started talking about their feelings.

Hannah admitted that she had been feeling something for Denise for a while now.

They were both scared of what their friends and others would say when they found out they were a couple.

"What if people judge us? What if they don't accept us?" Denise asked.

Hannah took Denise's hand. "We can't worry about what other people think. We have to do what makes us happy. And being with you makes me happy," she said.

Denise smiled, feeling reassured. They leaned in and kissed again, their lips meeting in a passionate embrace.

After a while, they fell asleep on the couch, with Denise's head resting on Hannah's shoulder.

Hannah looked down at Denise, feeling a rush of emotions.

She thought Denise looked so cute when she was asleep.

Hannah was scared of what their friends and others would say when they found out they were a couple, but she knew that she loved Denise and wanted to be with her no matter what.

Hannah slowly drifted off to sleep, feeling content and happy in Denise's arms.

She knew that they had a lot of challenges ahead of them, but she was ready to face them together with Denise.
