  disillusioned.

  struggling single parent family. Perhaps its to

  up his dark side with cocky confidence in himself

Relationship with Bridget Parker

• Relationship with Bridget
• He has developed feelings for resident tomboy
  Bridget Parker. He and Bridget had been having
  fights because of Declan getting Mickey
  (Bridget's cousin) to steal, however Bridget
  later forgave him. At a rock-climbing excursion,
  Bridget accidentally lost her grip on a rope and
  let Declan fall from a great height, rendering
  him unconscious. Declan and Bridget have a
  fun-loving relationship, but it's clear that
  their feelings for each other are more than just
  friends.
• When Bridget was accidentally hit by Susan
  Kinski, she became paralysed down the left side
  of her body.
• While in Rachel Kinski's (Caitlin Stasey)
  swimming pool alone (Rachel went inside to find
  some food), Bridget slipped and almost drowned.
  However, Declan heard her cries for help and
  rushed to help her. While they almost kissed
  after this, Bridget resisted as she felt
  humiliated for being disabled. Eventually, Declan
  asked Bridget out on a date, to go see a movie.

More Declan/Bridget Stuff

• Feeling disappointed for not receiving a kiss on
  the date, Bridget asked him out again. However,
  Declan stood her up, but later apologised saying
  he is not ready for her disability. Bridget then
  revealed her disgust with him, and refused to
  talk to him for a short period.
• Soon after, Bridget began seeing a boy she met at
  her rehabilitation class, Josh Taylor (Liam
  Hemsworth), and the two shared a kiss (which
  Declan jealously watched).
• Declan later put a CD in her locker "Declans mix
  of sorry songs". He tells her to think about them
  after one of their classes and kisses her. She
  tells him she's met somebody else and he tells
  her "Drop him." However Bridget refused to leave
  Josh for Declan, despite the fact that she still
  had feelings for him.
