This is short but I started this last year and never finished. I plan to though! I needed something to help me with my writers block so I decided to work on this again!
This is not meant to disrespect any of the people who lost their lives this day 14 years ago.
Enjoy!

South Tower 8:25 am
21 minutes till impact on North Tower
Clary stepped out of the elevator onto the 77th floor of the South tower and walked down the hall to her new office. She worked for Baseline Financial Services and had just been moved to her new office in the World Trade Center. She opened the door to her office. It was big and there were about 3 or 4 other desks around the room, only one had a person sitting at it.
The woman had caramel skin and dark curly hair, she was fairly tall compared to Clary, but then again, Clary was only 5.2 feet tall. "Hi!" she said turning around on her chair. "You must be Clary." Clary nodded and took the woman's out stretched hand. "That's me." She said smiling shyly. "I'm Maia."
"Your desk is just over there, by the window." She said pointing to the small, dark wood desk and office chair in front of a huge window. "Thank you." She said and looked towards the window. "Wow." She breathed walking towards the window. She looked around, smiling at the gorgeous view she had.
"You won't be starting work till tomorrow so you can set up and get comfy." Maia said with a smile. Clary smiled back. "Thanks." She said walking to her desk, as Maia kept typing. Clary sat down in her chair and opened her bag, pulling out a framed picture of her and Jace at Christmas last year. She had a Santa hat on and had jumped on Jace's back, holding mistletoe above his head as she gave him a kiss on the cheek. They were so happy that night.

South Tower 8:41 am
5 minutes till impact on North Tower
Clary had just finished setting up her desk and sat back in her chair drinking her coffee that Maia had brought her. There was a loud knock at the door before it was flung open, and her two old friends, Isabelle and Simon walked in. Izzy raced over to Clary and attacked her in a huge hug. "I missed you SO much!" Izzy squealed. Clary laughed and hugged her back. After Izzy finally let Clary go she walked over to Simon and gave him a hug. "It's so good to see you." He said.
Clary smiled, and then pulled away. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked. Simon smiled. "Izzy got a new desk in her office upstairs for FCB and I was helping her get it setup, then I heard you were downstairs in your office and once we finished we raced down to see you!" Clary was about to respond when her cell phone rang. She picked it up and the caller ID read: Jace. She picked it up.
"Hey Jace!" she said sitting down in her chair.
Hey Clare-Bear. He replied. It sounded like he was in the car, probably headed off to his shift at the Fire department.
"What's up?" she asked, switching her phone to her other ear and grabbing her coffee.
Just wanted to see how you're doing. And to ask for your office phone number so I can call you at work if I need to. He said, the noise of the car rumbling in the background.
"Ok. It's (A/N: Just doing random numbers here :P) 905-345-1938." She replied taking a sip of her coffee.
Ok, I'll… "Hi Jace!" Izzy yelled, cutting Jace off. Clary heard him chuckle on the other line. Hey Iz. He said.
Clary held the phone away from her ear and put her hand over it. "He says hi." She said smiling up at Izzy, who had been pulled into a one arm hug by Simon.
I'll talk to you later. Love you. He said.
"Love you too." She replied. "Bye." And she hung up.
Simon looked away from Izzy for a minute and up at Clary. "Wanna come up and check out our view of the North tower?" he asked.
Izzy just looked at him. "Si, its literally a wall!" He just shrugged. "There's a pretty good view around it though." He implied. "Plus it looks good at this time if day."
Clary chuckled. "Sure! If its ok with Maia." Maia looked up from her work and smiled. "Go ahead!" She said shooing her with her hand. "I'll meet you up there in a few."
Clary smiled. "Thanks Maia!" Clary called as Izzy pulled her out the door to the elevator.

South Tower 8:45 am
1 minute till impact on North Tower
Clary and Izzy stepped out of the elevator and hurried into Izzy's office. Simon slowly followed behind them before turning into the break room for some coffee.
As soon as Clary entered the office, she was blown away by a huge window, bigger than the one in her office, that took over two walls. One side had a view of the city from behind the North Tower and the other, that had a breathtaking view of the city skyline.
"Wow Iz..." Clary breathed. She could get used to this view. "Pretty amazing huh darling?" A voice said from behind. Clary turned to see Magnus Bane himself. "Magnus!" She squealed giving him a hug. Her and Magnus were close friends until him and his boyfriend Alec, who worked at the Police department and was Izzy's older brother, went on a trip around the world and lost contact with, well, everyone.
"Its been forever! How've you been?" She asked letting go of him. He smiled. "I've been good little red." He said shoving his hands in his pockets. "The view of your office is amazing!" Clary said looking back out the window. She then squinted and moved closer to the window.
"Is that a plane?" She asked pointing at the white line that kept coming closer, and closer, and closer.
Izzy screamed and then...
The plane was flying too low.
The North Tower had been hit.
