Mirrors Lie To Me (Marianas Trench)

Chapter 1

Dani's P.O.V.

I mess with my hair in the mirror for what seems like the billionth time tonight, trying to get the red to show through the black. Generally, I wouldn't care. I'm not a model, I don't need to look good. It's not my job to impress you.

That being said, tonight I'm going to a Marianas Trench concert.

My roommate Andy runs into my room and throws me over his shoulder. Yes, roommate. You tend to friendzone people you've seen wearing their underwear on their head (him) or puking after seeing who could eat more oreos (also him). I know it sounds like we've been friends since birth, but we've actually only known each other since high school. I'd rather not tell you how recent the events mentioned took place.

"Andrew, you ass, put me back on the floor!"

"Nooooo, you're taking too long. We need to go soon."

"Well sorry for wanting to look tolerable. Damn." He sets me back on the floor and I turn to the mirror to make sure I still look ok. I smooth out my black v-neck and white skinnies. I know, boring, but I don't really like attention. Maybe that's why I'm 25 and single. Or maybe it's because I'm the height of a prepubescent boy and have curves that don't exactly suit that stature. That might have something to do with it.

Confident that I don't look too horrible, I shove my wallet and phone into my back pockets, start chewing a new piece of cinnamon gum, and slip on my converse. I punch Andy in the back and we head out the door.

Once we get to the venue, I look around and immediately start feeling violent. There's a group of girls next to all dressed like skanks that keep giving me snide looks. Yep, because Josh is going to see you from on stage and think 'Wow, what a lovely, respectable woman. I'd like to spend the rest of my life with her.' Obviously.

I'll fast forward through the concert itself. Not that it wasn't amazing, I actually almost started crying during Alibis. Andy did, but his favorite movie is A Walk To Remember. I'll also skip After spending what seemed like forever in line, Andy actually leaving me because he wanted cookies, I finally got up to the band. Well, Matt, Mike, and Ian. Josh was busy talking to a fangirl who wouldn't let him go.

"I will never understand the appeal in his whole vampire thing. I keep expecting him to start sparkling or burst into flames or some shit." I said, earning laughter from all three of them. After they finally calmed down Mike reached out to shake my hand.

"I've been wondering about that for years. Hi, what's your name?"

"I'm Danielle, but if you call me anything other than Dani if will cut your nose off with a rusty spoon. And don't think you're getting away with anything less than a hug." He chuckled and gave me a bone crushing hug. After he let go, Matt and Ian followed suit. I had them sign my phone case and they decided to also sign my face. So naturally I took the sharpie and drew hearts all over their faces. Fairness, children.

We talked some more and I took my phone back out to take selfies with their new beautiful makeup. I posted it to instagram and noticed we had been photobombed by a certain lanky douche. I guess he finally got rid of the fangirl.

"Hey, why don't I get hearts on my face?" He asked, mock pouting. I smirked at the guys who handed me the sharpie and grabbed Josh's arms. I covered his face in hearts and wrote 'I <3 Dani more than coke zero' across his forehead. He squirmed and protested the whole time, but nobody really cared. When I finished my masterpiece, I took another picture. I looked back up from it to find Josh smirking at me from nearly a foot above my head,

"So I'm guessing you're Dani?" Sarcasm.

"Yep, what made you guess that?" Back sarcasm.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just a psychic. But now I think there's a phone case and face that need to be graced by my signature." He signed my case with a heart next to his name and wrote something across my forehead that felt longer than a signature. I looked at myself and he had written 'Josh is way sexier than me!'

"We all now that's a fucking lie," I smirked, making Josh pout and the rest of the guys burst out laughing again. We took a few more pictures together, seeing as the guys all wanted one for their phones and the photographer for their tour wanted one to use on the website. Then Andy called me and told me to get my ass back to the car.

"Sorry guys, I have to go. Andy is being an impatient little bitch. Meeting you was a dream come true." I said truthfully. I had wanted to meet them since Fix Me.

"Aww, It was awesome meeting you too!" Mike.

"You were the best fan today. I love my face." Matt.

"You're cooler than butt stuff," Ian.

"You're almost better than coke zero. And who's Andy?" Josh.

"Aww, is little Joshie jealous? Andy is my roommate. Just my roommate. Now I seriously have to go before said roommate throws a tantrum. Goodbye guys." They all gave me hugs, Josh kissing the top of my head.

I hate being short.

Whaddup, teacups?

This was actually typed on a laptop, if you're wondering why it was actually semi- longish. Heh. But don't expect this, I was just feeling generous. So, uh, yeah. I'm not gonna set an update day yet because I don't know if I want to do all of it on Friday or space it out through the week. But I'm still doing Running Out of Deyes.

That's really all.

Comment and such then.

Until next time, teacups! I love y'all!

Biyeeeeee!
