Don't dream it's over

Kevin felt uneasy, Kaitlin had just told him about her dream, about how in it he'd left her for another woman and she'd seen them kissing and canoodling outside Superdrug. She'd woken up in tears, and woken him up in turn to get reassurance. He told her not to be stupid, he told her he loved her and he was never going to leave her. He kissed away her tears. ‘Hey now’ he’d said, 'don't dream it's over.' She cuddled him and drifted back off, but he couldn't get back to sleep, Kaitlin's dream had been too close to the truth. He had been kissing Rosie outside Boots that very morning. Had Kaitlin seen him, had he been acting suspiciously and she'd picked up on the signs, was he giving off vibes? He was going to have to tell her the truth.

One month later:

Kevin looked at the text message again to make sure he had the right time; she was late. It had been three weeks since he'd told Kaitlin about Rosie and kicked her out of his flat, she'd not taken it well. This was going to be the first time he met her since then. He didn't really know why he had agreed to see her but she'd said she wanted to talk to him and it was important.

He felt a tinge of regret as he saw her swaying towards him. She looked good, she'd lost a bit of weight and had made an effort but all was well in his garden with Rosie. As he expected her ‘something important’ was a list of reasons why they should get back together.

'We could buy a house together and maybe start a family' she said with a hopeful smile on her face.

Kevin shook his head, she'd obviously spent the last three weeks listening to Adele, believing in miracles and playing happy families in her head. But Kevin was not to be moved.

'Kaitlin, you have to move on, we're are not going to get back together, don't dream, it's over.' With that he got up and left her sobbing on the park bench.

Kaitlin cackled, Kaitlin crowed, Kaitlin conspired, she'd watched Kevin's life crumble and would not stop until it had caved in completely. It was so easy, so easy, her job with Vodafone had given her the tools to get him by the balls and now she had them well and truly cupped in her hand. Who knew hacking phones was so easy? She'd managed to send a text to Rosie from ‘Kevin’. That had put pay to that relationship. The text she'd sent to his female boss pretending to be Kevin had seen him fired faster than you could say you are a cheating scumbag maggot. But she hadn't finished yet, she had other plans, she'd not let up until that piece of dirt came crawling back to her and then she'd squash him like a bug. She thought about him, he was probably hoping his run of bad luck would end, ‘don't dream it's over Kevin' she said to herself. ‘It's only just begun.’
