Sunflower. [Noah Centineo]

Thirty six

I went back to sleep peacefully that night. The next morning Noah and i went to the hospital to visit my dad, he was moved to a different room on a different floor. Room 86 floor 1.

Noah and I walked up to the room and i knocked on the door.

"Come in." Someone said, i slowly opened the door and saw my dad. Sitting up straight, no tube in his mouth, eyes wide open. I was overjoyed.

"Dad!" I yelled running over to him.

"Hey sweetie." He said,

"I'm so glad your okay.." I said relieved with tears in my eyes again.

"Who is that guy?" My dad said looking behind me at Noah

"Uh- dad this is Noah," I said looking at him and then back at my dad, "H-He's my boyfriend." I said nervous.

"Hi mister Renalds." Noah said politely but also sounding a little nervous

"Hello Noah. How are you?" My dad asked him

"Hi, uh Hello, hey, uh- i'm sorry i totally just said hi like a thousand times.. i'm so sorry sir-" Noah said, i giggled a little. That line reminded me of Jamey in the movie.

"Its okay," My dad said, "Sit down."

Noah and i both sat down on chairs next to my dads bed.

"So Noah, tell me about yourself." My dad asked and i looked at him firmly. I knew what this was, the approval interview. I rolled my eyes and looked at my dad angry

"I'm an actor." He said and my dad looked at him surprised.

"Wait- i know you! Haley always talked about you, you were on that show the monsters- or something." He said.

"DAD!!" I yelled. My face turned red of embarrassment so i covered my face with my hands. It made me think about the 'the fosters argument' Noah and i had a couple months back because of the hate account Penelope ran. Noah was so angry at me for liking him back then..

"Uh- yeah, yeah thats me, and its actually 'the fosters'." Noah said sounding embarrassed too.

"So how long have you two been dating." My dad asked. Noah and i looked at each other and Noah awnsered

"About two months-" Noah said but i cut him off

"But we've knows each other since March." I said and my dad looked at me confused

"Anywho, tell me about what i've missed." He said

"Well for one i got a lead role in a movie." I said smiling

"Thats great princess!" He said proudly

"Wow, you haven't called me princess since i was like 13.." I said

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom, i'll be right back." Noah said and left the room

"So how did you meet Noah." My dad asked

"He plays in the movie too." I replied

"Do you like him?" My dad asked very genuine

"Yes dad.. i really do, so please don't ask those stupid questions okay?" I asked

"Okay princess." He said smiling and i smiled back. "You know, when you were 14 and watched the fosters, you always said 'i'm gonna marry this guy later dad.' How do you feel about that now? When you actually know him."

"The same. Dad, i love Noah and i really want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know we've only been dating for two months, but they are the best months of my life." i said and my dad smiled at me.

"Princess, if he doesn't treat you the way you should be treated then he gets to deal with me okay." He said firmly and we both let out a little laugh.

We stayed silent until Noah came back. When Noah sat down again we started talking again. We talked about LA, the movie and i even told my dad about Penelope. Not everything, just that she was mad at me. Luckily my dad didn't ask anymore questions about my relationship that day. At 3PM we had to leave the hospital, 'my dad needed his sleep' the nurses said.

When we were walking back to the hotel Noah started talking,

"You know- princess is a pretty cute nickname. Maybe i should call you princess." Noah said and i laughed

"No not princess! Thats weird, my dad calls me that. I don't want to think of you as my dad.." I said and shivered at the thought of that. "But a nickname is cute. Maybe i should give you one too." I said with a smirk on my face

"What about 'my sunflower' then?" Noah said stopping us and looking into my eyes

"Yeah, thats cute." I said grinning and Noah kissed me.

"So what about my nickname," He asked

"Uh.. how about 'daddy.' " i said sarcastically. "No i'm just kidding! How about, Prince charming?"

"Daddy sounded even better than that." Noah said and we both laughed.

"Uhm okay, what about 'chef'?" I asked

"Why chef?"

"Because your a great cook." I said looking over at him

"No, thats stupid. You need just as cute of a nickname as 'sunflower' " He said

"Pfft.. okay, then i'll just call you babe." I said

"B-" i cut him off

"No arguing mister." I said

"You know-" He began but i cut him off again

"No." I said bossy

"Maybe i should call you 'sassy pants' instead of sunflower." Noah said, and i gave him a slight punch on his shoulder. "Ow!" He said and i laughed.

Back at the hotel

"So do you think we can go back to LA soon?" Noah asked

"Yeah, i guess." I mumbled.

"Haley whats wrong?" Noah asked lifting up my chin

"I don't know.. i feel like i need to change. Not me but something about me." I said

"Why?" Noah asked confused

"Because of my dad. He stayed in Oklahoma City his whole life, and look where that got him, in a coma for more than two weeks. Maybe that'll happen to me." I said

"Haley thats not gonna happen to you okay." He said

"How do you know?!" I yelled, "i'm sorry.. i didn't mean that."

"I get that your scared okay." Noah said streaking his hand over my cheek. "We will see what were gonna do tomorrow okay?"

"Yeah.. okay," i finally said
