Drowning in Love ~A Tom Daley FanFiction~

1 - Was I in heaven? Because this boy looked like my type of angel.

*9:00am*

"Soph! Wake up!" It was the firs day of the summer holidays and I was being woken up at 9. I sighed and opened an eye. "What do you want Kate?" "Mum can't make swimming, you're coming." "Take one of the boys." "Nathan's gone to Siva's and Jay's out with Lindsay." "Fine."

Typical of my mum. I hated her. That's why we all lived together, after she'd had Kati we all decided we had to leave, it was best for our new baby sister. Mum had been going out and coing back at 4 in the morning, me and Jay would be staying up worried sick; but when I was looking for a mascara and found a small clear bag full of white powder in her drawer that was it, we left. Since we've been trying to let Kati see her as much as possible but she keeps on cancelling plans. Today she was meant to go swimming with Kate, but no she cancelled. Again.

*Half an hour later*

We were in the swimming pool just messing around when Kate tried to get me on the inflatable obstacle course, obviously i didn't want to go on but she physically dragged me out of the pool and onto the stupid inflatable. I heard someone chuckle from the side of the pool and i prayed i wasn't being watched.

Around half way across the inflatable I looked up at Kati to see if she was okay and sheput a hand on each of my shoulders and gave me a quick shove. I flew off the asault course and let out a quick sceam before being engulfed by cold water. I was about to come up for air when I realised a few things; One: I was underneath the inflatable, Two: I couldn't see a thing and Three: my foot was caught on a rope holding the inflatable in place. I started panicking. I started getting light headed. I needed air. My eyes closed...

I felt something pull at the ropes on my foot, then i felt an arm around my waist, then I was pulled up above the water. Even though my eyes were closed and I was blacked out I could still feel things. I next felt myself being laid onto a cold tile floor, three pumps onto my chest then a pair of soft lips on mine, breathing air into me.

~LIFEGUARD'S POV~

She needed to breathe... I repeated performing cpr on her until around a minute later her eyes flicked open and she sat up quickly coughing and spluttering. The crowd of people from the pool who had gathered all clapped then went back to swimming. A girl who must have only been around 5 ran up to the girl I was still knelt over and hugged her, crying into her shoulder. "I'm sorry, it was all my fault.." I heard the younger girl say, the older just stroked her hair and told her it wasn't. "Can we go home please?" The younger said. After the older agreed the younger ran off to the changing rooms. That was when I was met with a pair of the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They were bright blue and all shiny. I felt like I had been could look into her eyes forever. She leant back against the wall behind her. "Thank you so much." she said. Oh my, her voice was almost as beautiful as her eyes... "Oh... erm... it was nothing, just doing my job," Just doing my job?! Why would I say that? "is it okay if I take you to the first aid room for a couple minutes?" "Why would yo-" She stopped mid-sentence as her eyes filled with pain as she realised her foot had been cut up quite badly by the rope. She nodded. "Can you walk?" I asked starting to get up. "I don't know I'll try.." She tried to stand up but collapsed into me. She gripped tight onto my work t shirt. "It's okay, I've got you," I picked her up bridal style and carried her toward the first aid room.

~SOPH'S POV~

oh my life. he was gorgeous. he was tanned and muscley and had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. was I in heaven? Because he was definitely my sort of angel. And he'd technically kissed me. Sort of... Now he was carrying me to the fist aid room, what if he thought I was heavy? "Do you eat anything? You're so light!" It was as if he read my mind. I really didn't want to look at my foot, was it bleeding? Oh god. Next time I'm in pain I'm not looking. I closed my eyes. "oh my gosh..." I muttered to myself, "What's wrong? Don't like blood?" "Hate it." The lifeguard kicked the door open and laid me down on a small hospital-style bed. "What's your name, love?" He asked, I looked up at him kneeling over me, his big brown eyes shining bright. "Soph, Soph Sykes." "Well Soph, Soph Sykes, I'm Tom, Tom Daley." He held out a hand. I shook it. "Nice to meet you Tom, Tom Daley."
