Punk=Outsider

Chapter 18

A/n: this would be an extremely long chapter so I might make it into two.

Josh

We finally got to the mall and all filed out of the van. "Ok Izzy the guys are gonna go look around and ypur coming with me" I said. She looked confused and started to say something but I cut her off with an explination. "This is a belated gift from all the guys we might be doing the same thing but we wanna do it sepreatly" I explained and she just nodded before hugging and kissing Matt. We walked through the mall and she perked up around Hot Topic. "Ok so like I said belated birthday gift. I want you to go in here and pick out two outfits and nothing for work" I told her and she looked shocked but smiled and we went in. It took about a half hour but she finally picked two Band t's and a two pair of skinny jeans. When I went to pay for I got recognized by the cashier and I took a pic with her while Izzy waited at the door. I called Cody and told him to met us at Hot Topic because I knew there was more in there she wanted. "Cody is comeing next and you can either go back in here and get more or take him wherever but it looked like there was more you wanted in here" I said on a laugh. She smiled "yea I love Hot Topic all my fav bands and their merch here" she said as Cody walked up and hugged her. I took her bag and they went in.

Cody

"Ok I know this is suppose to be outfits but if there is something else in here like a purse of shoes or anything go ahead and grab that instead of an outfit" I said as we walked into probably the biggest Hot Topic I've seen. "Ok" wa all she said as she started looking and I smiled. The whole time we've been here I don't think I've seen her this content and happy without being near Matt. She's very introvered and I think she's scared of how many of us there are around all the time now because of her past I thought while she looked around. "Ok I'm done" she said hopping up next to me and I seen a purse and an outfit in her hands. We headed up the he counter to pay and of course I got noticed and asked for a picture. "Wait weren't you just here with Josh Ramsay?" The cashier asked Izzy. Sh blushed and nodded before looking away. "Your so awesome how do you both of them" she almost squealed. "We're all old friends she knows all of us from both bands. She's like our little sister" I answered for her hugging her to my side as we walked out of the store. "Ok do you wanna go back in here or have Mike met us somewhere else?" I asked her. "Um I think I wanna go back in here one more time then I'll probably go to Spencers" she said so I texted Mike and as we waited I got noticed and had to take a couple pictures and sign a few things.

Mike
I got to Hot Topic just in tome to see Cody dragged away from Izzy by fans so I snuck past them in rushed her inside. I've noticed a lot of Set It Off fans are into Marianas Trench as well. "Ok let's get to shopping" I mock squealed like a girl and Izzy laughed at me. Our little shopping trip didn't take long since shes already been through this store twice. "Got what you want?" I asked her. "Yep I did" she smiled at me and we went to check out. "Thank you guys so much you really didn't have to do this" she said as we waited out side the store. "Its our pleasure really" I said and smiled. "No I mean any of this. Comeing here and trying to help me through my problems and getting caught up in my fucked up life. Its bad enough that Matt goes through it with me. Now I've dragged two of my fav..." she said and started tearing up. "Izzy stop. If we didn't care we wouldn't have come. We all seen what Jodh went through with this and when we got here and met you something just clicked for all of us like you were suppose to be in our lives and I can garuntee the SIO guys feel the same. It feels like we've known you forever you truely are like family to us, and family means everything to us. We really do love you sweetie" I said and hugged her tight.

Dan
Mike texted me to met them in front of Hot Topic but let me know Izzy wanted to go over to Spencers which happened to be like kitty corner from there. When they came into view I could see Izzy was crying and Mike was trying to calm her down. "Hey guys what happend" I said as I walked up and rubbed Izzys back. "I think today is a little overwhelming for her since all of us are taking her shopping she just had a little bit of a moment" Mike said. "Yea I'm good though just had to get it out thank you though" said Izzy as she dried her eyes and hugged us both. Mike went back to the guys that were waiting in the food court as Izzy led me to Spencers. "So you can get whatever you want it doesn't have to be outfits" I said as we walked in she smiled and hugged me. I went to look at stuff while she was browsing. After about 20 mins or so she found me and had a purse and blanket with her. "All ready" I ask smiling and she nodds. I text Webb as we're checking out to met us over here and she stands by blushing for some reason. We walk outside to wait and I ask "why were you blushing in there?" She looks startled. "Um that cashier was my ex girlfriend and when she seen you buying things for me she kind of looked jealous" she said. "Wait what exgirlfriend?" I said and sge just laughed. "I'll explain another time" she said. I just nodded cause there was no time to baddger her about it now cause Webb was walking up to us.

Webb
"Hey guys" I said as I walked up to Dan and Izzy noticing that Izzy was laughing at Dan for some reason. "What's going on" I ask. "Something I'll have to explain to you later to the cashier in here is my exgirlfriend so she might give us a few dirty looks" said Izzy as we walked in the store. "Um ok...." was all I could say and it made her laugh again. I'm happy she's at least laughing at something and showing she's happy. She went to look at the clothes and pick out a couple outfits while I went and looked at the little trinkets and see what this cashier looked like. I was courious. After about a half hour she found me and we went to pay. She was right the cashier gave us a dirty look. What I wasn't expecting was what happened after we walked out of the store. "Izzy what the hell are you doing" said a femle voice. Izzy turned around and said "I don't know what your talking about and don't see how its any of your buisness" the other girl just got angrier. "You disappear off the face of the earth for almost a year and then show up here with Dan from Set it Off and Matt from Marianas Trench and don't know what I'm talking about are you you serious?" She almost screamed. "I was worried about you. You never called or even texted to tell me what was going on" she said almost in tears. "Look I'm sorry ok Ann but it was really none of your buisness what was going on" Izzy said. As they argued the rest of the guys were coming toward us.

Matt
When it took longer than a half hour we all decided to go see what was going on and it was a good thing to. When we walked around the corner Izzy was argueing with someone. I couldnt tell who until they spoke "are you fucking kidding me right now" the person screamed. "Oh fuck" I said and started to sprint towards them. "Matt what's going on" I could hear Josh yell to me but I couldn't answer I had to get to Izzy. I had to get her away from that controling bitch. I came to a stop behind Izzy that's when Ann stopped her fake crying and glared at us. "What do youthink your doing here with her?" She asked me. "For your information we are dating" I said loud and very proud of the look on her face. She tried her fake crying again "but Izzy baby I love you I always..." "stop right there why don't you just turn around and go I won't let you munipulate her. You did nothing but try to control and abuse her the whoke time you were together and its done your done" I said stepping between her and Izzy. "Izzy is finally getting better and I will not let a toxic bitch like you hurt her again." I said as I turned around and hugged Izzy to me. No expected what happened next we were about to leave when all of a sudden I was spun around and punched in the gut. When Izzy seen me double over its like she went crazy cause she jumped on Ann and jist started punching.
