Mirrors Lie To Me (Marianas Trench)

Chapter 5

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER SUCKS

but I don't have the time or motivation to edit right now so...

Dani's P.O.V:

"Fucking hell, Andy, what do you think you're doing?!" I shrieked, shaking the water from my eyes.

"Happy birthday! You weren't waking up, so this was clearly the best option. Now wake up, we have celebrating to do!" I got out of bed, hit the back of Andy's head, and walked into the bathroom.

I took off my batman pajamas and turned on the shower, letting it warm up a bit so I wouldn't freeze to death. Shut up, I'm allowed to be overdramatic. I'm the queen. I put my music on shuffle and smiled to myself as Horseshoes and Hand Grenades started. What, I like songs that say fuck.

Go ahead. Judge me. I dare you.

I stepped into the shower and winced as the fresh cuts started to sting, quickly maneuvering them out of the water. Genius.

I worked the shampoo through my hair, which was black and silver as of last week. The red was getting kinda boring. I'd always really liked silver though, it's such a universal color. Black is for emos, pink is for preps, yellow is for people who don't understand what colors look good- but silver? Everyone can like silver.

I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I never really could understand why people liked me.

First off, I was short. Which I know that doesn't necessarily make me unattractive- a lot of people can be short and look fantastic- but I didn't really have the body type for it. I was curvy, but still really flat chested. My face was fairly round, making me look somewhat childish. My nose was slightly crooked from where I'd broken it as a child.

I closed my eyes, trying to get the image of myself out of my head. I walked back into my bedroom and picked out my outfit. I quickly pulled on a Blink 182 shirt and skinny jeans. I quickly brushed out my hair and left it to air dry. I did my eyeliner and ran downstairs.

"Andy? Bitch, where you at?"

"Aww, I was hoping you'd dress up." I turned around to find Andy smirking with 24 pack of Monster in his arms.

"I fucking love you."

"I know. But for real, you should dress up a bit. The guys want to hang out and they actually invited me, so we're not fucking this up."

"Dude, they already think I'm cool. It doesn't matter if I look good."

"For me? I bought you Monster."

"Fine. I'll dress up."

"Ooh, yay! Can I help? Please?"

"Simmer down, Andy. Your gay is showing.

Mike's P.O.V:

I winced at the sight of the needle.

"You sure you wanna do this? You seem kinda nervous." The woman asked me.

"Yeah... let's do this."

I bit my lip, and felt the sting of metal bite into my arm.

There was no turning back now.

Dani's P.O.V:

"Okay, how about this one?" Andy held up a simple red dress.

"My hair is black and silver now dude. I got that to match the red. So no."
