Home and away:
Meant to be?
Chapter One: Excitment and being Anxious
The waves were crashing against the rocks in Summer Bay and most people were still asleep, as it was only seven o'clock and a Saturday morning. Dani woke up by the sounds of the sea and went downstairs to put the kettle on. She was wearing a baggy jumper and checked pyjama bottoms. Dani lived in the caravan park house, but not alone. She lived with her husband... Noah Lawson. Dani and Noah had got married two years ago and had their wedding on the beach.
Now your probably wondering, Dani and Noah? What happenend to Hayley? Well Hayley took off straight after her art exhibition in the city. The judges had loved her work and Hayley had been offered a scholarship in Paris to paint, for a couple of years. Nobody in Summer Bay had heard from her since except for Irene. But she kept in touch with Will in Queensland and Nick in the states. Dani sometimes wondered what would have happenend if her and Scott had stayed together and so had Hayley and Noah. But she was happy with her life; she was married to Noah and expecting a baby in three months. Dani found it strange having a bump, but was looking forward to the future.
Dani had left university and had started a paper in Summer Bay called 'Summer News' which she was the editor of. Noah had also left uni and had built another drop in centre which he worked in everyday with Dan Baker.
Dani and Noah's engagement had come as a shock to everyone in Summer Bay, especially the Sutherlands and Hunters. Jade and Kirsty were really happy though as they got to be bridesmaids. Dani had always wanted Hayley to be her maid of honour, but she hadn't kept in touch with her and Dani was married to Noah. So she thought that Hayley wouldn't want to go, after everything they had been through together. Leah turned out to be Dani's maid of honour. Noah was going to chose Scott as his best man, but after everything Dani and him had been through, he decided against it and Flynn was his best man. It was a really nice hot day and the beach looked lovely. Dani had a white dress and looked stunning in it.
All of the Sutherlands had gone to the wedding, including:
Jade
Kirsty and Kane (Much to everyones surprise, after everything Kane put Dani through)
Shelley
and Rhys
The Hunters went too:
Beth
Scott
Henry
Matilda
Robbie
and Kit
Dani remembered seeing Scott's face, he didn't look happy at all, even though he said it was a great day. Dani could tell when someone was lying. But Dani got fed up thinking about what could have happened. She was happy now. Her and Noah were good together and they were going to have a family.
But Dani couldn't help wonder, what was Hayley doing right now? Was she married? Happy? Painting? Dani had cried the day Hayley left. They had become friends the day the Sutherlands had first arrived in Summer Bay, and that was about five years ago! They went to school together and to uni together. They always said that they'd be bridesmaids at each others weddings. Hayley always thought that Dani would get married first. Dani felt a bit selfish and guilty, she should have asked Irene to phone Hayley, and ask her if she wanted to come. But she didn't. Dani knew if Hayley had come, it would be hard and upsetting for her, watching Noah marry Dani. Hayley and Noah were one of the best couples, but their relationship was a bit on,off, on, off. Dani was going to try and stop thinking about it. Today was Kirsty and Jade's 18th birthday party on the beach. Dani got a tray and put two cups of tea and some magazines on to it and went upstairs.
Hayley boarded the plane excitedly, today she was going back home, to Summer Bay! Her two-year art scholarship in Paris was over and she was returning home where she belonged. Irene had told her that today Jade and Kirsty were having a birthday party on the beach and Hayley could turn up and surprise them. Hayley liked that idea and smiled. She read several magazines and books, then ate lunch. When she had finished that she got out a purple diary and started to write:
