Tom Daley Fanfic!

Part 9 - Bronze

Tatty’s P.O.V

We sat on the diving board for a while. ‘Do you want to get married?’ Tom asked me, ‘Yeh, do you?’ I answered. ‘Yeh, when though??’ Tom asked again, ‘Your curious aren’t you? And the earliest I would get married is when I’m 19, but I have to be with the person for a while, So if I was to get married to anyone at 19 it would be you TomTom!’ I replied. ‘Really?’ He asked, ‘Yeh! and come on you need to practise you have two hours left. After about and hour the likes of Qiu Boo turned up so Tom and I went to the ready room so I could get changed. ‘Tom’ I said sexily, ’Yes!’ He replied, ‘You know tonight, I kind of booked a hotel..!’ I said. ‘Hahah! , Okay! See you later’ He said and gave me a kiss on the forehead. ‘Bye Good Luck! I love You!’ I said. He had half an hour till they cleared the pool to thingy it. I went and sat with Jack, Tonia, Chris, Sarah, Monique, Alicia, Nick, Pete, Rebecca, and Stacy all of us sat in a line near Tom’s Mum and Brothers, all of Tom’s family was there.

I was embracing the moment because all of us here are going to be going home on Monday this will probably be the last time we are together in a while. I am going to miss them so much, these guys are my family. Jack will be gone to Harrogate, Chris will probably stay in London or come to Plymouth and Tom and I will be in Plymouth with his family. It’s going to be hard saying good bye but hopefully it’ll be quick.

The hour had passed quickly and now we had 15 minutes till his dive’s started. I was scared I admit it but I can’t just not watch him dive, I know he will be amazing, it’s Tom he is an amazing family man, amazing inspiration, smart, good looking and an amazing diver. He is just amazing, anyone who thinks different is stupid. I sat talking to his mum I just wanted to go down there and hug him, kiss him and dive with him. I wish he got a medal in the partnered syncro. At this point I don’t know what is going to happen, I just want him to do his best and not get hurt.

We all know he can out dive Qui Bo, and The other Chinese guy. And even if he doesn’t he can come 3rd or 2nd place. Before I knew it the 15 minutes were over. Tom was walking out in his TeamGB Tracksuit and His headphones round his neck. He looked relaxed and nervous but I think knowing he has all of us in the crowd is helping. He was the 9th diver in and we had 6 rounds to go. I must admit I am nervous. We had watched 3 divers and it was another 6 to go.

Tom’s P.O.V

I was waiting for me to be aloud up the stairs to get to the platform. I walked up, stood up and got ready. The flashes put me off, so me and Andy talked to the referee to have a re dive. The flashes put me off. I went to him and told him how annoying the flashes were and everything. The flash photography was banned.  I was aloud a re - dive. It was a better dive, I got 91 points. My head was out the water the rest of the team was standing up. The Chinese were after me, the first one came behind me but now it Qui Bo. He completed it so easily.

I was walking away from the water behind the judges to get away from the cameras they follow you everywhere. I guess that’s what happens when you’re in the home crowd. The scores had come in, I was in front of the Chinese Jack and Tatty couldn’t help hugging, it was funny. Because there was only 12 of us in the final every ten minutes I dived.  Before I knew it I was walking up the stairs again. I waved to The team and my family. I was scared, even though I’m a professional it is scary.

It was finally my go again, I did my little concentration exercise on the board.

A/N I don’t know if you guys notice that but he like touches his bum and then wipes his face and touch’s his bum again! It’s nice! Oh and readjusts his speedo’s!

I started my preparation and just did the dive. Again it felt like a good dive. I looked out the water and spotted the Beckhams. Knowing they were here for me felt good. I looked up to the team and my mum and brothers again they all had smiles on their faces waving flags or hugging. All of them.

Before I knew it again I was walking up to the platform again but this time I was in 5th place not second. I had to buck my ideas up if I want a medal. The Chinese were doing amazing but I wasn’t that far off them, 5 points. I know I can do this, I know I can win a medal, I don’t care what colour but it is for my dad.

I walked up on to the platform did the pre dive concentration exercise and got into my position,  the dive I was doing was the arm stand back triple somersault in pike. I felt the water basically suck me in like it was supposed to. I got 92 points I was proud of myself but I could do better I’m sure. I was in fourth place just 7 points away from a medal. It’s going to be hard because the diver after me is just doing better every single time I dive. He needs to mess up. The same as Qui Bo, I know its rude but if it’s going to get me a medal then I will want it to happen. It was my go again the guy before me just hurt himself. That makes me scared at what I can do.

I did my pre warm up excise and went to do my dive, this dive is going to change everything. I dived in and it felt good, like I said before I could do better. One of the Chinese just messed up big time, that’s good for me I thought. After my dive I looked over to Tonia, Jack, Sarah, Chris everyone they were all on their feet, I guess they thought it was good. Then I looked over to my mum, Tatty and My brothers they know I can do better but still cheered for me.

The scores came up on the board I was 3rd place, a medal position. I’m proud of myself but we are in round 5 and if I want to come higher I need to buck it up, I looked over to Tatty and she was looking at me she gave me a thumbs up and I walked away to the ready room area. Then I got told to make my way up the platform again, we were basically doing dive after dive. It’s hard but it’ll be worth it in the end if I get a medal. I walked up the tower waving at the fans awaiting my turn. This was my round 5 dive, I am still scared from my first one.

The called my name the crowd went mental, again. ‘I could get use to this!’ I thought. I did my touch bum exercise to get into concentration. I fixed my speedo and took my position on the edge of the board. I did quite well on that dive. The man after me Boudia keeps on matching up with me but on that one he got me 1.5 points in front.

The score board came I was first! I couldn’t believe it one more dive and I could be first on that podium after round 6. My family was in their feet, the whole centre was.  I walked past my team mates all saying well done! But let’s hope I can keep this spot. The crowd were chanting my name. I looked at my brothers and they gave me a thumbs up and I gave them one back.

My mum looked at me and gave me an air hug and Tatty blew a kiss. I am nervous but happy, hoping this next dive will be my best. Before I knew it, it was my turn again. I walked up the crowd cheering. My family, all cheering me on.  I did my pre dive exercise. I took my position on the board and set off. I got in the water and straight out the water with a huge smile on my face I went to the showers but just got out straight away Andy and Lindsey came up to me and gave me huge hugs. We were all ecstatic, so happy. Boudia has just qualified for gold and we have bronze. I’m happy I have a medal. Jack, tatty, Tonia, Sarah, Chris, Nick, Pete and I  all jumped in the water to celebrate. I couldn’t stop smiling we were all crying. Smiling none of us could stop hugging anything.

I had to go in the ready room to get ready for the medal ceremony. I am so happy. I walked through, I as I walked away I forgot to give Tatty a kiss I turned round and went ‘Tatty! Come here?’ She ran up to me and I spun her round and gave her a kiss, I bet the cameras we loving it. She had her legs wrapped round me and Chris and Jack pushed us in like they did when we all found out. I had my chamie in my hand still so that had to be rung out but I didn’t care. I was just so happy we both swam out of the water and we went into the ready room. I chammied my hair and put the tracksuit on over it, Andy walked in dripping wet ‘Well done mate!’ He started to sob. ‘Thank you Andy! For everything, you got me here!’ Then my mum and brothers walked in ’Well done!’ She screamed fighting through her tears.  ‘We love you so much!’ They added

Then Chris, Tonia, Sarah, Jack, Tatty, Pete, Monique, Stacie everyone came walking in. We love you too, they said while giving me a group hug. Then I was whisked away. To get my medal, everyone was crying tears of joy. I jumped up as soon as I got my medal. I actually can’t believe I got a bronze medal. I am so happy. I love how I won a bronze medal in the last event in the aquatics centre. I reached to were my family were and rushed up to them, most of them crying. I gave them my flowers and they gave me a flag. I am making sure I pose for every picture that’s being taken.

A/N This part is probably horrible because I was crying/ shaking and very nervous due to Tom diving in the Final’s im sorry! :P Xxx
