Type: Songfic (Mind you, kinda suck at these but…the idea just popped into my head)
Pairings: Clach (Claire/Zach; minor implied), Waire (West/Claire)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HEROES!! If I DID then Claire wouldn't have met West. AND SHE WOULD HAVE STAYED IN ODESSA AND FALLEN FOR ZACH!!! I do not own any music in the story either.

Zach sighed and checked his watch as the cashier gave him his movie ticket. It was a truly boring day and that was why he left Odessa for the weekend. Okay, maybe Odessa was boring. Zach rolled his eyes and lazily walked inside the movie theater, feeling the cold air conditioner wash over him. And maybe California wasn't so bad after all.
The steps that I retrace
The sad look on your face
The timing and structure
Did you hear he f***ed her
A day late a buck short
I'm writing the report
On losing and failing
When I move I'm flailing now
Zach frowned as the mention of California in his mind reminded him of his once great friend, Claire. He smiled to himself. Claire lived in California now. What if he saw her and they caught up? It was something worth thinking about anyway. As he stood at the snack counter, buying a bag of popcorn, he spotted her. Claire. His face lit up…only to fall when he saw the guy next to her. That she was leaning on.
And maybe I'll see you
at a movie sneak preview
you'll show up and walk by
on the arm of that guy
And I'll smile and you'll wave
we'll pretend it's okay
The charade it won't last
when he's gone I won't come back
Claire noticed Zach and waved at him, still her happy self. Zach faked a smile and waved back, getting a glare from the guy Claire was with. He scowled and went the way he had just come in. Movie theater had seemed to be a great idea. And now it wasn't. Zach angrily muttered, "God dammit, Claire." He groaned and remembered back to Odessa. When Claire had found out that she could regenerate. Ms. Miracle-Grow, Zach has said. That was a whole entire world away.
Well I guess this is growing up
His phone vibrated in his pocket, startling him. Pulling out with his free hand, Zach looked at the text message on the screen. "His name is West Rosen." It was from Claire. Now, it was VERY clear that she had gotten over whatever feelings Zach had for her. He scowled again and tucked his phone back into his pocket. Munching on his bag of popcorn, Zach grumpily strode down the street.
