I'd say stay at your job, see out your contract but also immerse yourself into being the best damn employee they've ever had. Focus on doing everything they ask of you but then add some more, really act like you love your job. Whistle with joy as you leave your house every morning on your way to work. Be a joy to work with. Help people around you and go beyond what they expected from you. Treat your job as an adventure that you can't wait to start every single day. Volunteer for extra duties. Be the first one there and the last one out. Love your job every day.
This will have several effects. First, you'll be a joy to be around. Second, if you act happy you'll start to feel happy. Third, your bosses will feel like the trust they placed in you was well founded and they'll feel better about you and it'll make them look good which they'll appreciate. Edify your bosses to their bosses at every opportunity (with style and class - don't go overboard) You may even get promotion opportunities - don't take them. Explain that you're happy to do your best in your current job. Fourth, time will fly! And finally, when it comes time to leave they'll have to thank you and if the worst happens they'll welcome you back with open arms but the best effect will be that you'll feel like a stand up guy who honoured his commitments and made the best out of the situation (a handy skill to hone).
You'll also have a lot more money when your contract ends which isn't far away. Enjoy every day and notice that this will be the last June you'll ever work - savour that. It's the last time you'll have to hunt for parking or wake up early for a commute. It'll be the last time you have to put up with idiots at work with a fake smile. Just count up all your "lasts" and enjoy every last drop of "work" you have to do. You'll feel like a better person because you honoured your commitments, were a joy to be around and you acted honourably.
Trust me, it'll be time to say goodbye very soon and you would have done the right thing.
