Home and Away Uncovered Secrets and Psychos
Chapter Ten
Hayley and Dani sat on the rocks at the rock pool talking. It was Thursday and every Thursday morning they got together and discussed the latest things at the rock pool. Today Sarah was their main topic but they talked a bit about Peter and Leah too.
"So do you reckon they'll get back together?" Dani asked Hayley whilst watching the waves move
"No I don't, I mean Leah has already moved in withJosie she's serious about it", Hayley said
"What do you mean?" Dani asked confused
"If this was only temporary Leah would have stayed with Irene or Sally or at the sands, butshe moved allof her stuff into Josie's, they splitting up I can tell", Hayley said
"Since when did you become the date doctor?" Dani said laughing
"Always have been, Dani Sutherland I see a bright future ahead for you", Hayley said joking around
Dani laughed "Seriously, though do you really think they'll split up?" Dani asked again
"Well yes", Hayley said again
The girls continued to talk and laugh for the rest of the morning
At Sarah's Michelle was cooking a special lunch for the two of them
"What's the occasion?" Sarah asked interested
"Well you've made some friends, which shows improvement", Michelle said happily
"Thanks Michelle, so what are we having?" Sarah asked nosing around the kitchen
"Ah it's a sursprise and I think maybe you should invite Danielle and Hayley for being so kind", Michelle said
"Sure and it's Dani not Danielle", Sarah told her
"Ok sorry!" Michelle laughed
Michelle hoped Dani's kindness and friendship with Sarah was real and not just an act.
Leah continued to serve hungry customers at the diner. It had been their busiest morning all week and Leah was getting extremley tired. Peter walked into the room and sat at a table with Dan and Sam. Leah went into the diner's kitchen at the back for a seconde so they wouldn't think she was watching them. Leah had made her decision about Peter, if she was going to stay with him or not. She'd have to talk to him in privately as she didn't want Dan, Sam and other customers watching. Leah walked up to their table and began to speak "Before I take your orders can I talk to you for a second Peter? In private"
"Sure", Peter said knowing what Leah was going to talk about
The couple walked to the kiosk and sat at a table "Peter i've made a decision about what's going to happen", Leah paused
"Ok", Peter said crossing his fingers
"I've decided that, um, that I can't stay with you anymore", Leah said quickly to get it over and done with
"Oh, Ok, but Leah can I just ask you something? Why?" Peter asked heartbroken
"I just can't deal with you knowing that Vinnie was alive for all these years i'm sorry", Leah said
"Ok well I guess this is um, goodbye", Peter said softly
"Of course it's not Peter, we can still be friends but in a little while, not yet i'm not ready", Leah explained
"I understand"
"Ok well I'd better get back to work", Leah said
"Yeah see you"
Peter watched Leah walk off back to the diner. He couldn't believe that his marriage was over. But there was no point in hassaling Leah about it. He had to stay strong, if he could. It was the end of a very happy five years with Leah Patterson, she was no longer Mrs Baker.
Josie sat at a table in the bar waiting for Briget. She was picking nervously at her nails. What if she'd been set up? What if Briget wasn't really meeting her there? Jesse saw her anxiety and told her not to worry. Five minutes later Briget came running in
"Sorry mum, Flynn was really busy today so I gave him extra help", Briget explained breathless
"That's alright sweetheart just catch your breath and then we can order", Josie said
"Oh! Right i'm ok now! I just ran from the surgery to here", Briget explained
Josie raised her eyebrows "What? You ran all the way from the surgery to here? Don't you have a car?" Josie asked
"Mum I work weekdays at a doctors surgery, I'm saving up", Briget explained
"Don't tell me your father makes you pay rent to stay with him?" Josie asked annoyed with Hyde if he did
"No of course not, but I do buy clothes and accseries", Briget said winking
"Of course! We should shop together", Josie suggested
"Sounds great!" Briget agreed
"So Bridge I was wondering and this is totally your choice, if you wanted to come and live with me", Josie asked
"Mum, i'm sorry but i'm really happy with dad and Beth and Jade", Briget said hoping her mum wouldn't be too mad
"I understand"
"But maybe one day i'll come and live with you", Briget said smiling
"Really?"
"Absouloutely"
Josie smiled, the biggest smile ever. Finally, after five or more years she had found her daughter. The thing that was the most important ever. She had learnt that a child was the best thing that could happen to you. Better than a job or a house. She hoped Briget felt the same. And knew that Josie loved her with all her heart.
"Thanks for coming", Michelle smiled and winked at Dani
"No problem", Dani said worriedly and anxiously.
She felt a bit guilty. Did Michelle take her seriously? No! She can't. Maybe she believed that Dani wanted Sarah to be her friend.
"Hi Dani! We're having Pasta", Sarah explained
"Sarah! Don't ruin the surprise", Michelle said
"Sorry!" Sarah said rolling her eyes, Dani gave out a fake laugh
"Right girls pasta's almost done so sit done and begin"
Dani took a seat at the dining room table and started to eat. She was quite impressed with Michelle's cooking skills as was Sarah.
"So what did you think? And truthfully", Michelle asked Sarah and Dani when everyone had finished their meals.
"Great Michelle", Sarah said
"YesThank You it was lovely", Dani told her
"No thank youDani for being such a kind friendto Sarah, she really appreciates it aftereverything she put you through", Michelle said whilst washing up.
Dani gave an unconvincing smile. Was Sarah really sorry? She couldn't be it was totally out of character. Or had jail taught her something? Dani knew how tough it was, being there herself. All her and the rest of Summer Bay's residents could do was wonder. Wonder what life had planned for them around the corner. None of them knew what the future held. They just had to hold on tight and wait and see...
