The diver boy - going for gold ♥ (OLD)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

I was up early and butterflies were already forming in my stomach, but this would be my last time competing in the Olympics I can’t believe how fast it’s gone and how things have changed in a way it feels like I have been here for months or even years; because before I came here Tom and I weren’t together and neither were Chris and Stace. I hadn’t won any medals and yet I had 2 now. After today our team had one more event tomorrow which was Chris and Jack in their finals. Which the whole team were going along to support like they were tonight for me and Tom. I rolled over in bed and grabbed my phone from the side *3 new messages* I opened the first one from Dad.

‘Hi darling just a text to say good luck for tonight I will be watching and how proud I am of you again. Also the swimming centre is showing your’s and Tom’s event and everyone is going to go and watch you both to support yous.  Speak to you soon! Lot’s of love dad xxx’

I decided that I would call him back later so I didn’t need to reply. I opened the next message from Stace.

‘Morninggggggg I’ve got my ticket set for tonight look out for me again and yeah me and Chris are together! He is so lovely I’m so lucky to have him. GOOD LUCK! and say it to Tom from me I know you will be amazeballs! ;) miss ya xxxx’

I smiled and replied:

‘Can’t wait meet you after kinda nervous :S yeah I will tell Tom miss ya moreeee call you later xxxx’

I smiled as I read the next message from Tom

‘Hi ya bbe our day today! Get your arse down to breakfast now sitting by myself like a loner #depressingtimes ;)  then we can go and meet Kat and Andy for training love you lots xxx ♥’

‘Heyya weirdo seriously hash tagging in texts, someone’s a little addicted to twitter ;)or maybe I’ll leave you sitting like a loner ;) xxxx’

I clicked send then I got up and walked into the bathroom and got ready. I got changed into my GB tracksuit and trainers. Then I tied my hair up into a fixed bun; walked out of the bathroom quietly and quickly not wanting to wake Katie. I sat on my bed and smiled as I saw I had a new message from Tom

‘you know you want to ;) xxx’

I smiled and placed my phone into my pocket; I grabbed my keys and made my way down to the food hall. As I walked I noticed how quiet it was, normally when I head down for breakfast everyone from all countries and talking in all different languages are making their way down to the food hall. I clicked my phone for the time ‘5:45am’. That would be why it’s so quiet. As I entered the hall there were more people than I expected talking and eating their breakfast, I noticed that most of them were people who had competitions today like I saw Usian Bolt with Blake laughing as I knew it was the 200m final tonight and they were keen rivals. I grabbed myself an apple and looked over to our table, I saw Tom starring at his phone while eating a bowl of porridge. I made my way over to him and sat opposite him. He looked up; smiled then leant across the table and kissed my cheek. “Tom people can see” I whispered “No one’s watching don’t worry” he winked I shrugged and took a bite of my apple. “Anyway I decided to stop you from being a loner because I am such a good girlfriend” a broad smile appeared on his face “What” I laughed as I took another bite of my apple “I like it when you say that your my girlfriend” he took a sip of his tea. “Tom you’re so cheesy”  I smiled.

“I can’t believe it’s going to be our last event tonight It’s gone so quick” I said “I know but you know what they say, ‘save the best until last’” he said “It’s going to be tough competition though” “Not if we do our best like we have been doing in training trust me babe we got this” I laughed at him “Is your family coming?” “Yeah my mum 2 brothers, both sets of grandparents and my auntie and uncle yours?” “My dad, Stace grandparents” I smiled “We should all go out after for a meal or something” “Yeah good idea” “And… maybe we could tell them about us” I said he snapped his head up “you know we can’t” I sighed because I knew he was right “But why I just feel like we are hiding stuff from them” “You know I want that more than anything but let’s just wait a bit, at least until after the Olympics” he said and he rubbed my cheek I smiled “Come on let’s go Kat and Andy will kill us if we are late especially today of all days” I smiled and throw away my apple core. “Don’t you want anything else to eat?” asked Tom “Na I’m not that hungry anyway” “Ok if you’re sure” we both stood up and walked out of the food hall towards the aquatics centre.

As soon as we arrived Kat had rushed us off to quickly get changed so we could get as much practise as possible and for the next few hours that’s exactly what we did. We went through all of our dives and did them all well. According to Kat which to make her happy took a lot. As we took a break Tom and I actually talked diving tactics and being the usual Tom he managed to crack a few cheesy jokes. Andy told us about the plan for after our event that straight after our event we had to talk to BBC news which would be aired on TV and say how we felt ect. Then we would have time to get changed, then we would have our photos taken then we had a small press conference. Then finally we had to make our way to the BBC studio and we would both attend the interview which would be live on telly too. Then we were able to do what we like. I just hope we do enough tonight.
