Hello Everyone,
I’m pretty exhausted from this overwhelming week. Exams are just finishing up, and all of these emotions are just having a drain on my system.
After sharing an intimate kiss with Brad last week, my expectations were proved very wrong. First of all, it wasn’t as intimate and private as I thought, as Colleen spread it around that she saw it. It’s my business, and I don’t want people talking or knowing about my affairs in that way.
Anyway, I was more concerned with how it affected Brad, seeing as he thought it was me who told the whole Bay about it. That kiss kind of tore us apart because afterwards he ended up standing me up at the counselling session. I was pretty embarrassed about it. It was difficult knowing how to approach him about it too. He ended up drawing lines in our relationship.
Maybe I was just too eager to see something that I knew could never work? The therapist made me start to think about my own intentions in the relationships and how it coincided with Brad’s. I’ll have a deep think about that this weekend I guess…
I’m not the only one who has to ponder how past relationships will move forward. Martha seems completely distraught over Jack’s waking. While everyone else is so excited over it, she seems confused. Maybe she realized how much he still means to her when he was ‘gone’…or maybe she doesn’t know how to express her excitement while Sam treats Jack like marked territory. We’ll have to see on that.
I’m quite proud of my students at the moment with Lucas accepting his scholarship to study in America and Belle being offered a cadetship in photography. They’re growing up to be such responsible, mature young adults. To celebrate the end of exams, Drew bought Belle a car! They seem pretty serious now, especially since they set off on a road trip holiday together.
While Drew and Belle seem to be smooth sailing, it’s pretty much the opposite for Ric and Mattie. The house has been buzzing with their drama. Viv is still in the picture, for whatever reason, and Ric seems like he's playing with fire. Mattie’s patience is really starting to run out with Viv, but she shouldn’t have to be concerned about it in the first place.
It’s definitely Ric’s fault that he and Mattie are on the rocks…I mean, how does he expect his girlfriend to react when he’s running leaps and bounds for this older woman who clearly has a crush on him? The stain didn’t come out of her shirt either from the wine spilled on her. Ric really should think about where his allegiances lie because it seems like he’s crossing lines now.
While I’ve been searching for advice from Leah about Brad, she’s also been asking about Dan. She’s been suss about him having an affair! I can’t imagine why he would want to cheat on her, it just seems so unlikely.
Dan could be changing into a different husband for Leah, and now Heather is struggling to change from her old colours. Leah told me how Heather stole money from the till at the Diner to satisfy her gambling hunger. I guess its proving to be too difficult for her to get over her addiction. They say that you only kick the habit once you hit rock bottom. I wonder when that will be for her?
I wonder when that will be for all of us? Me and Brad, Rick and Viv, Dan and this mysterious woman…
I’m having an early night now just to curl up with some popcorn and a movie. Sounds absolutely delightful.
Goodnight to all.
Love, Sally.
