Golden Love ~Tom Daley~

London.

TOM'S POV

"Are you sure my wheel chair will fit on the plane?" Joules asked.

"Yes, I called the airlines twice to double check. We'll be in forst class so you'll have plenty of room and then they'll store your wheelchair." I assured her.

"I hate being crippled. It sucks." she pouted as we waited in the terminal for our flight to London.

"Well you're getting better! I mean look at the progress you've made. Your Doctors say you're ahead of schedule." I tried to cheer her up.

"I know. But still, I can't walk for long periods of time."

"Joules. You'll get there. Rome wasn't built in a day."

"Wow, you're really a smooth talker." she said sarcastically.

"You know I mean that with love." I patted her shoulder.

"Yeah yeah. Have you spoken to Michael?" she asked.

"Yes, I did. He and Gianna are going to meet us in D.C. on our layover."

"Yay, sounds good!" she smiled.

"You excited to see Gianna?" I asked.

"Yes! She's cool, you'll like her."

"Her and Michael seem to be happy." I noted.

"Yeah, she makes him so happy. Happier then I ever made him." I stiffened a little. "Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"No, you're fine." I smiled.

"FLIGHT 67 TO LONDON IS NOW BOARDING" we heard over the speaker.

"Leggo!" I popped up and grabbed our luggage and helped to wheel her to the desk.

~~2 hours later~~

We waited on the plane until Michael and Gianna boarded. Joules was fast asleep and I was not about to be the one to wake her up.

"TOOOOM!!!!" I heard Michael. He was carrying 2 bags and stopped right next to me. "Ho's it going man?" he asked.

"Good!" I smiled. "Where's your seats?" I asked.

"Uhhh" he looked around. "Right here!" he exclaimed setting the bags in the over head carrier over the seats right across the isle from us. "Tom, This is Gianna my girlfriend." Michael introduced us.

"Hello." I smiled and got up to hug her. "It's nice to finally meet you, I've heard a lot." I told her.

"Oh, All good I hope." she laughed and hugged back.

"Of course! Joules has been excited to get to see you again!" I explained.

"O my god that's all Gianna has been talking about." Michael rolled his eyes.

"Oh stop it. You've been talking about this trip non stop." Gianna laughed.

"We've been excited as well." I assured them.

"See, Now where's Joules?" Michael asked.

"Sleeping. She's been exhausted from therapy and all that."

"Well I don't want to ake her and I think the plane is about to take off. We can chat later!" Gianna assured.

~~The Next Day~~London, England~~

"You sure you got it?" Michael asked.

"Yes, We'll be fine. I know my way around. I have been here once or twice" I winked. "now go be all lovey dovey with your girl." I shooed him.

"Alright man. Call me if you need me." he walked off. I headed out to the cool March air and met Joules who was sitting there.

"Ready?" I asked.

"Yupp." she smiled and I hailed a cab. I lifted her up put her in the car and folded her wheel chair and put it in the cab with us. I climbed in and sat next to her and she leaned her head on my shoulder and I then leaned my head on hers and held her hand.

"I'm excited to see everyone." she said quietly.

"Me too." I whispered.

"When did you see them last?" she asked.

"September."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah, I started avoiding them when I went into my dark times." I said shamfully. "I hope they still like me."

"They do. I was talking to Tonia and she said they couldn't be more excited to have you back."

"Really?" I asked.

"Mhmm. You're Britains golden boy remember?"

"Not so Golden anymore." I mummbled.

The car stopped and we both sat up, Joules grabbed my hand. "Stop thinking that way." she kissed me and I continued to get her wheel chair and help her into it. "Ready?" she smiled.

"Ready." I took a deep breathe.

We walked in and were escorted to our seats. I got numerous stares and a few people stopped and asked for photos which I took with them.

Joules and I sat down and began chatting.

"EEEEEP TOM!!!" I heard someone squeal and then I felt my shoulders all wet. I looked up to see Tonia. "I'm so happy to see you." she sounded genuine.

"Hey Tonia." I said aprehensively. It was still weird for me to be around everyone.

"Seriously babe. You need to be more excited." Joules said louder then I would have liked.

"She's right you know, we're all super excited to have you back around." Tonia noted.

"Well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see my big sis again." I cracked a smile.

It didn't take long for the entire girls team to come over and say hello to me. Tonia, Alicia, Hannah the whole gang. They all chatted with Joules and I. It was great seeing them again. We all settled in to watch both Chris and Jack dive. I got a wave from Jack but Chris looked at me and looked away...O god, I knew this wasn't going to be good.
