Hello Everyone,
I had to get my head around saying goodbye to Brad this week, it is hard but I’m happy for him, he is off to start a new life for himself with his new family.
Brad accepted a teaching job in Tasmania and was all set to leave when Tam got herself in big strife with Aden and his mates from school. She was feeling bad about Brad leaving so was coerced in to drinking alcohol by Aden. He's such a bad influence. Poor Tam was taught a big lesson when everything backfired and the boys played a horrible trick on her. She was already feeling terrible because Aden showed his true colours and dumped her the day of the formal. Then to make matters worse he circulated photos of Tam making out with him on the beach after he'd plyed her with alcohol. He had taken total advantage of her. Brad confronted him in the corridor at school and I was really worried Brad might do something he could regret so I had to step in and take charge of the situation myself. I gave Aden a fitting punishment and showed him whose boss in my school. I don't think it's the last time I'll have to deal with Aden though, he's a real bad egg that one.
The outcome of all of that was that it bought out Brad's protective instincts towards Tam and he asked if Heather and her would like to move to Tasmania with him. They were over the moon about it. It's really nice to think Brad won't be alone down there and will have the love of family around him. I will miss him so much though.
The formal was a great night, although not for all. Ric had been behaving fishy before the formal and showed up really late. Poor Matilda, she's really been patient with him. She decided to put it all to the side for the night until Viv's husband showed up revealing what had really been the reason for Ric being held up. It was a shock to all, especially Matilda. Ric's really made a mess of everything. Matilda is devastated. She spent the rest of the evening in tears. I hope they patch things up and Ric stays right away from that trouble-maker Viv.
Something is going on between Cassie and Ric though. The day after the formal there was just so much tension between them. Cassie can't even look him in the face. She seems so down. I just don't know what's happened or how to fix it? They are both very tight lipped about what ever has gone on.
I'm also worried about Pippa. She's talking about Brad as if he is still here, even though I've explained to her that he's left Summer Bay to set up home elsewhere. I think she's too young to understand. I hope she gets through it and it doesn't affect her negatively in the long term.
Rachel was pregnant with Lewis' baby, but lost it. I'm sure it's for the best, Lewis didn't turn out to be the man she wanted in the end. Rachel needs someone sturdy and strong. Someone who will look after her and never let her down. Lewis just seemed too young for the responsibility of family and what Rachel wants.
Tension keeps mounting between Sam and Martha. It's awful for Jack, I can understand how pressured he must feel right now. To make matters worse Sam's wedding dress ended up in Martha's hands and stupidly Martha tried it on... and got caught.... by Sam! How terribly embarrassing for poor Martha. I can understand the desire to try on something so beautiful to see how you look in it, but being caught! I can't even begin to imagine how humiliating that must've been. Sam was reeling. She's taking the dress back. She said she can't marry Jack in it now that he's seen Martha wearing it.
A few people left Summer Bay this week, apart from Heather, Tam and Brad leaving for Tasmania we also said goodbye to Ryan who is going to live with his mother while Dan and Leah move to America. I'll miss his smiling face too.
I just found out that Martha got attacked last night leaving the hospital. She's ok thankfully, she managed to fight him off. Who is this person? I hope the police find him soon so there are no more attacks, otherwise it may be quite serious the next time around. I don't want any of my friends to be the victim of this nasty person. Please catch him so we can feel safe once again.
Love, Sally.
