AN: Thanks Sammy May Cullen and Lachrimae227 for your reviews. I'm glad you liked it. I decided I would try to do one for Heart of Glass just because I just saw it on the marathon tonight. I decided to keep with the Clare/Johnny theme and sorry that Johnny is so OOC.

Chapter 2: The Back Field.

He was sitting back by the baseball field cry when she found him. She shook her head at the sight and wondered what Bruce and his friends would say if they knew. Clare sort of felt sorry for Johnny DiMarco as she watched the older boy sob. She refused to call him a man. He had to earn that and from her previous experience with him she was sure he hadn't yet.

She let out a sigh before walking to where he sat, her feet making light scuffing sounds against the grass of the football field. "The way you look you'd think that someone just killed your puppy" she said as she leaned on the red shed which housed the outdoor athletic equipment.

"Go away Clare" Johnny said trying to do his best tough guy impression and failing miserably.

"Please, that was pathetic" She said as she kneeled down next to him.

"I know you're hurting, it shows. Ali just broke up with you didn't she?"

"Why did you ask when you already know?" Johnny looking up at her, tucking his hair behind his ear and letting out a sigh as his red eyes met her brown ones.

"Because I love to see you squirm" she said in her best effert to channel Holly J. But frowned seeing the frown play out on his face. " I'm joking gosh. Look go talk to Ali if you're so torn up" she said trying to get him to react in any other way than with the frown that seemed to be glued to his face.

" I can't she made up her mind and I don't even know what I did wrong" he mumbled. He didn't know why he was telling this to Clare Edwards, his now ex-girlfriend's best friend but for some reason he felt like he could trust her. After all she hadn't spilled about their last talk in the hall.

" Look I know it seems weird but you didn't do anything. That was sort of the problem, but she is just freaked out" Clare said with a sigh wanting to take the boy out of his misery.

" Why would she be freaked out, she was the one who wa-" Clare cut him off

" I know she was the one that wanted to. But she wanted to because she thought that it would make you want to." she said and only received a confused look across the face of Johnny DiMarco. 'why is it every time I say something to him I get that look. For a "player" he knows NOTHING about women' Clare thought as she sighed . "She thought that you weren't interested in her like that because you hadn't made a move on her. So she figured if she gave it up then it would keep you around.

"But I do like her in th-"Johnny started but was once again interrupted.

"I know, Bruce knows, everybody can see that you're into her but you. Thing is she's heard about you and all these other girls and thought that there was something wrong with her because you didn't move faster with her. But then you guys moved too fast and now she's all screwed up" Clare finally sat down beside him and looked him in the eye. "You two really need to talk."

"Why didn't she just talk to me Clare. Why does she tell you everything and never tell me!" Johnny said his fingers digging into palms of his leather gloves. He hated that Ali never talked to him. She was just trying to impress him, sometimes it felt like she wasn't being real with him. He knew that it should annoy him that she was always trying so hard to make him think that she was something she wasn't but he knew it was his fault. He was the one that tried to hide her from his friends. He acted like he was ashamed and screwed up . He got it.

Clare smirked when she saw the look of realization cross his face. 'god he's so easy to read' she smirked. " Do I even need to answer your question?" She asked. He shook his head and got up. "Where are you going?" she called out before trying to follow him.

"To talk to Ali" he said sounding determined. "OH NO You don't" Clare said as she ran out in front of him and placed her hands on his chest in a vain attempt to push him. Needless to say it failed.

"And why can't I go talk to her?" Johnny asked curious to why Clare suddenly thought that she could stop him from doing anything he wanted. " Because stupid. I haven't gotten to talk to her yet" she said and he froze.

"What do you mean talk to her? Do you tell her about all the conversations you have with me!" he asked half scared and half angry. He grabbed the tops of her shoulder and pushed her against the wall of the red shed, his grip almost hurting her.

"No" she gasped out. "I don't tell her anything now let go of me." She said trying to calm down as she struggled in his arms and only succeeding in getting his grip to relax a little. " She doesn't know that I talk to you. Much less help you with your many Ali-related relationship issues. Its just that she's still mad and all jumbled up. I need some time to work my magic" she said and received a skeptical look.

"What magic dork" he said a smirk on his face. Only to have Clare glare up at him. "How do you think I get you to spill your guts. To me" she said as she pushed her way out of his arms "Magic!" her voice changed a little as she smiled and made spirit fingers. " But seriously she'll probably just ignore you if I don't talk to her first. So just be out front at the end of the day. Look pathetic, which won't be hard in your current state and wait for her to come back. To you."

Johnny smiled and for a second he debated over asking why Clare did this but decided not to. He had a feeling if he did he wouldn't have a chance to get to know Clare Edwards. "Whatever Dork, I'll be there" he said "Now come on lunch is almost over. "

AN: OK that was my attempt at Clare/Johnny for Heart of Glass. I don't know if it worked. But I think I've got a plan. After this the chapters will either be based on season 9 or for the gap between the series. If I do continue I don't know if it will work with the season. But I'll try. So Tell me what you think. I just like feedback. Thanks
