DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING
CLARY POV
    I sigh in exhaustion. I lean down into my chair and look at my office. I'm twenty eight years old, and I have an office that looks like this. A spacious room with a white wall; a pink thick stripe at the bottom and a green one at the top with a complimentary green ceiling. I had hickory wooden floor. The comfortable chair that i usually sit in when I'm with patients was a soft small chair that was black and made a U form. Then a cliche psychology couch in front of it. It was also black. And then my desk across the room from the chair. It was a white desk with a golden wheel chair that I am now sitting in.

The door was to my left, and the huge windows that showed the city was to my right. I look at my clock that was at the edge of my desk. 11:47 PM. I sigh and get up off the chair and go stand at the window, looking down at the city.

     I had a perfect view of the Washington monument, it was absolutely beautiful

     I had a perfect view of the Washington monument, it was absolutely beautiful. After Jace broke my heart I gave up on being a pediatric surgeon. I felt so helpless. But in the end it was worth it. I earn only a little less than a surgeon, and I have the view, the office and i still get to work with kids. I sigh and look down at the Starbucks across the street. It's open 24/7. I had a small brown dress that hugged my body.

So I go get my black coat and walk out of my office

~*~*~*~*~*~*
I walk into Starbucks and go to the cash register. "Give me two big cups of black coffee with extra caffeine no sugar," I mumble. Jenny smiles at me and starts making the coffee.
     "Two instead of three? You trying to cut down the coffee?" Jenny asks.
      "My Doctor says I have to stop," I say with an eye roll. Jenny giggles and charges me.
     "Good for you Fray," She says. When the barista knows you by name and last name, is when shit gets real. I sigh and take both cups of coffee. You would think being a  child psychologist I wouldn't have a lot of work, but I do, I have to keep taking classes, even though I already did my masters. I sigh as I walk out of Starbucks. The coffee on my left hand then bumps into someone, getting coffee all over them. I gasp as the cup of empty coffee falls to the ground.
     "I'm so sorry!" I say as I grab the empty paper cup and throw it to the trash. "I'm really sor-," you know....I would usually be mad at the other person for bumping into me, but I learned that if you go off on random people they could end up being your client. I look up and see a blonde who was too familiar. Anger gets the best of me. "I take that back!" I say as I take off my coffee cups lid. I then throw the other coffee on Jace and then throw the cup at him. "Go to hell!" I tell him as I walk past him, my shoulder bumping into his.
