~~JOULES POV~~

"I CAN'T DO THIS AHHH" I yelled. "I'M SO FRAKING NERVOUS."

"Calm down." Tom laughed.

"Wasy for you to say." I laughed. "You're used to this stuff."

"It's still not easy. Babe. You'll be fine." he reassured me.

I smiled. It as nice having Tom here. Made things easier. He always had that camling effect on me, and boy was I greatful for that right now. The doorbell rang.

"Shit." I mummbled and Tom chuckled.

"I'll get it!" Dad yelled.

"I took a deep breath and fixed myself in the chair I was sitting in in the kitchen. Sidenote: I'm so glad Dad got rid of our wooden chairs. Having cushioned chairs in the kitchen was so much better. Tom came and sat next to me and we listened as Dad greeted the crew and then we heard Addy asking tons of questions like "Who are you?" and "What's that?" Tom and I looked at eachother and laughed.

Four men holding large fancy looking equiptment walked into the room and greeted me. "You must be Joules." A tall blonde man approached me with his outstretched hand.

"Yes sir." I smiled firmly shaking his hand.

"And you're Tom?" he asked looking at Tom.

"Yes!" Tom stood up and shook his hand.

"I'm James. I'm the producer! This is the crew. This is Nick, Mike, and Jordan. They're going to set up while I prep you on how we're going to run this. So Oprah will be here in about 20 minutes. And we're going to run it like this. First we'll start off interviewing Joules alone. Then Dad we'll get you and then we'll have both you and Joules. Then we'll have Tom and Joules for a short segment and finally the whole family including you Tom." he smiled. "Does that sound good?" he asked.

I took a deep breathe and nodded putting on my best fake smile.

"Don't be nervous. You'll be great!" James assured me.

~~30 Minutes later~~

Here I was, sitting in my den right across from Oprah. THE Oprah. This was crazy.

"So Joules we all saw you capture the hearts of America when you pulled Gold in the Olympics. Tell me how that made you feel." she asked.

"It was amazing. I went into the competition just wanting to do my very best and make my Family and my Country proud. And by the time we got to the 4th dive that's when I started to realize. Hey, I could really go Gold on this. And form that point on I just pulled my best dives and did them how I practiced." I smiled.

"And after you won your gold you said that every dive you performed and even the Gold medal was all for your Mom. Tell me about that."

"Well from the second I started diving my Mom was always there routing me on. Making sure I was always happy and she literally came to everything. When I lost her I knew that she would want me to keep going. Not to quit just because she was gone, so that's what I did. I worked my hardest so that I could get the highest medal of honor. And that was an Olympic gold medal."

"I know she'd be really proud of you." Oprah smiled.

"Thank you."

"Now let's talk about your accident. What exactly have the Doctors said to you?" she asked.

"Well, I broke both of my legs and I'm basically having to learn ho to walk again because the injuries were so extensive. I also hurt my lower back, Luckily not doing anything to bad. But it's going to take a lot of ork to get back to being independent."
