Lauren Branning woke up the next morning she had a dream she was 25 had her own company that sold art for undiscovered artist she had a baby girl that was 1 year old but her little girl didn't have her father present she was a single powerful woman happy!

The dream bugged her all day she didn't attend college that day and she had been hanging out with Whitney just chatting.

As the best friends sat in Lucy Beales cafe having a nice cuppa they had the most enlightening convocation which made Lauren do a double take.

"Lauren babes what's bothering you?"

Lauren then told Whitney she had spoken to Joey the he said his kiss with Kim was just a party kiss that meant nothing but Whitney then reminded Lauren of her's and joeys party kiss a while ago where he made the move on her.

Whitney then said to Lauren "there's something else isn't there I can see it."

Lauren then told Whitney about her dream how she had become a powerful independent women and how this little girl her little girl had a father that was nowhere to be seen.

Whitney made a comment that startled her she knew she didn't say it out of jealousy but it made Lauren think "Lauren, have you ever thought what it would be like without Joey I know you love him but, if you stopped thinking of him and focused on yourself a bit more maybe that powerful independent woman could in fact be you"

Lauren had never thought of being without Joey he was her everything every decision she made she thought of him first he was the first thing on her mind when she woke up and the last thing when she went to bed could it happen and be a good thing Lauren without Joey?

Whitney saw Lauren thinking and she knew Lauren was impulsive and mad snap decisions and told her " Lauren don't make any snap discions babe, you love Joey and he loves you even I can see that you need to talk to Kim and find out the truth just go from there, just don't forget yourself"

Whitney then left because she had play centre Lauren admired Whitney everything that girl went through and now she has come out the side she had a fiancé that adored her, a job she cared about, and hardly any drama of her own Lauren then realised she wanted what Whitney had!"

Lauren left the cafe Lucy just giving her that same spoilt brat smile as she walk out and saw Kim walking down the market and went up to her.

"Kim can I just have a minute of you time," It seemed like Kim was in a hurry but she wasn't Kim was never in a hurry to do anything but, she knew why she was speed walking away from her.

"Lauren my lovely how are you I have been meaning to talk to you about the whole Joey situation I thought you should know the truth before he come up with some stupid excuse, you get me."

Lauren explained to Kim what Joey had told her and Kim replied with " Lauren babe don't even try to think that he doesn't love you he came up to me and said he was lonely and needed some love yeah he was a bit drunk he'd been depressed for months and I went gonna turn down that piece of candy."

Lauren smiled at Kim and walked the other direction.

Being the new Lauren she understood joey's actions she wasn't hurt at all but she did want to move on from this she did know Joey was completely in love with her and she loved him but, she had decided she had to start moving on with her life with or without Joey!

She was back at Joey's house and he opened the door embracing her in a suffocating hug exclaiming "Did she tell you the truth please tell me she did and tell me you don't hate me."

She replied "Joey babe she told me everything I understand it's okay I could never hate you."

He walked her to his Kitchen she sat at there dining table in his as he made her a coffee she started to tell him about her dream.

She was finished telling joey about her dream and he made a comment "babes a dream is just a dream they don't mean anything don't worry yourself I am here to stay."
