FULL RECAP OF STORY:

Meet Invery Anna Blaze, age 16 and lives by herself after her parents died in a plane crash a year ago. She was already by herself before that because her parents were always gone and her siblings had abandoned her many years before. There were many rough patches in her life, but she always made it through them. Once her father died she only seen it as right to keep the Blaze name filled with honor and start her street fighting again. This isn't an easy job and can be very dangerous so she had to become a-nerd. This worked! She did what she needed and was unseen by the spying eye. Well, that was before she was paired with one of the Big Six in a class... That's were things get a bit complicated- with the Big Six hiding secrets too, and Invery trying to stay under the radar.

Meet the Big Six: They were the people who made our school the way it is. There is Cole Gray- The golden Boy, Blake Stone- The bad boy, Jordan and Chase McKinny- The heart breakers, Austin Jones, and Axal Ryder- The players... They can steal your heart without you knowing it. That just might be what's happening to Invery... Her best friend is back in the picture to- Yvette has an agenda of her own- including her eye on one of the six (just maybe)... A lot can happen in a year or so... Everyone has their secrets and dark past they haven't all come to terms yet. Don't worry- all done in the dark must come to the light. After a crazy turn of events Invery, Yvette, and The Big Six find themselves taking a vacation...

########

The beach... That's where I, Vet, and the guys are right now. I bet your wondering what happened. Well! After I so kindly told the guys why exactly I needed to see their beloved crazy ass brother they soon understood, and we all decided it's time to get rid of the drama and do something fun. So, we headed to Sun Kiss beach. The guys own a beach house here and anytime I ask how exactly they have this 'private beach house' they dodge the question. There not getting away with it that easy...

'I tell these idiots so much and they tell me nothing!'
"So, sweetheart did you bring a bikini? I really want to see you in that nice, tight-" Chase clears his throat cutting off Jordan.
'Thank God!
That would have been awkward. A slight shade of pink tents Jordan's cheeks as he looks down quietly toying with the end of his shorts... Now that I look at it- All the guys look like there matching with their basketball shorts and muscle-T's. They look like they could be six identical brothers. The only way I can tell the difference is that Axal is wearing a white Tee, Jordan in navy blue, Chase in light blue, Blake in black, Austin in gray, and Cole in a dark gray.
'Wow! Aren't they diverse...?'

The whole ride here they wouldn't shut up about all the 'good times' they had in that house. Talking about all the sex you had all over the house and in the beds I'm about to sleep in, doesn't want me to sleep there-Like- at all... The pigs they are. As we are getting our bags out the car to take into the house Vet drops her bag and have her clothes go flying everywhere. Don't worry! There's the "MIGHTY SIX" who came to help and rush to grab her- delicacies-of all different colors "Damn in Vet! Now they know you like silk the most..." I sigh as I look at my best friend turn 50 shades of red...

'Well, in this case... Red is always better then black'

After we get in the house and settle down some we can really take a moment and enjoy the wonderful beach around us. It really is quiet beautiful around here. The sun is about to set and the whole beach looks absolutely stunning. The sky is painted in much different shades of blues, pink, purples, oranges, and reds. In our small little town off the map you would never see such things.

At this moment, this every moment, I felt something I haven't felt in a while. I felt... Whole... I have my friends who care about me and I have this beautiful view...  Things like this don't happen. People don't get there fairy tale ending because life doesn't happen that way. It's when you get this idea in your head and you believe it won't happen till it does; only it was all a cruel joke on you in the end. I have a feeling that this, whatever I feel now won't last long... I will always remember that- all good things must come to an end.

~~~~

The next day the first thing we did was head out to the water to go for a swim. I had on my cover up over my royal blue bikini. I know if I would have come down the stairs with it on the guys would have went all 'brother' mode on me then go to the local store to buy me a granny swimsuit that covers more skin then a turtle neck. Since we got here the guys haven't said much... They haven't said really anything more than a mumble to answer whatever question I had asked. Vet was the same. This was supposed to be a fun time where we stay up all night then head out to the beach in the morning. Hope it gets better then what it is no-

My thoughts were cut off by me running into a wall.

'Oh! Not a wall, just a boy'

I look up and his face seemed familiar- just can't remember from where. "Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't see you there" I say as I look up to meet a pair of eyes I haven't seen in a while.

'It can't be...' I thought to myself as I looked more into the dark orbs I used to see every day. He must have remembered too because you could see the recognition flash through his features. "No-Problem" he mumbled as he slightly pushed past him and into the bar behind me.

'I knew things couldn't have fairy tale endings'

~~~

"What's wrong with her?" whispered Chase to Cole as all of them stood at the door way and watched me stare at the black TV screen. "Maybe it's that time of the month" whispered Austin "SHHH! She can hear you! If you value your balls you'll shut up!" Jordan yelled back. I didn't even have to look to know he physically grabbed hiss 'Down Lows' at just the thought of that.

'These people are idiots' I sighed to myself as I watched the black screen more. I can't believe I seen him.

'Him'

I haven't seen him in years yet he still has the same looks- just older and much wiser and since the boys came into my life nothing good can happen without there being some major consequence that follows soon after. I wanted to be mad At them, I wanted to blame everything on them, but I know that it's not their fault. That they aren't the reason my parents died, or why I had a jerk boyfriend. Plus, they tried to help me more than almost everyone else in my life. I can't ignore that fact. I think I'm just thinking about all of this because he showed back up.

'No'

He didn't show up he- quiet literally bumped into me. This vacation didn't start off to bright in the first place,but this... This was the icing on the cake. I just don't understand how things could get worse.

~~~
It's been a few days, and I think the guys finally got the idea that- I didn't want to talk. That's right- I haven't talked at all since the 'Mishap'. Vet tries, she really does, but sadly I've gotten used to staying quiet and tuning people out when I didn't want hear them... I guess that adds on to one of my many talents list.

Cole's POV

Somethings wrong man. Blaze hasn't said a single word since we came back from the beach. "Maybe she needs to get laid" suggested Jordan. The guys, Yvette, and all turn to glare at him "And who's going to go out and find the guy for her to do that?" said Blake. No one raised their hand, but I'm sure we were all thinking the same thing

'Why can't it be one of us?'

All that would do is make the rest stand in a line to wait for their turn. Lord knows she has us all rapped around her finger.  "Well, I did see her talking to this guy the day she stopped talking and after it she seemed- well, a little out of it". Explained Vet

'Hm, we are going to have to find this guy'

Us guys seemed to have the same thought at the same time cause we asked in unison "What did he look like."
~~~
For the last hour and a half we've been looking around for the guy Vet told us about. "'Aye! Cole! Who's to say he hasn't already left?!" shouted Austin at me.

'No, if Invery knew him... He knew her and he wouldn't leave'

"No, he's still here" no one said anything to me after that just gave me a confused stare but continued to follow anyway. Vet said the guy we are looking for looks a little like our angel. The save color hair and eyes. Invery has never mentioned any siblings or relatives. She is only-16? 17? She's too young to be living by herself, let's put it like that. We will have fun on this trip- I don't care what it takes.

~~~

We walk around the beach some more looking for this guy, and we were about to give up when we see a man that  fits the description walk out of a bar that has a very strict "MUST BE ABOVE 21" rule. I would know- I've got kicked out far too many times NOT to know that.

"Guys..." I say towards the tired looking teens "There he is" I say as I jerk my head in the guy's general direction. "Let's jump him" suggested one of the morons behind me.

"What about we just talk to him and see what he knows" Vet said seeming to be the only one willing to be civil. As we walk up to him we are a few steps away from him when he notices us.

"Hey man, we have a question for you" says Blake walking up to the guy. "How do you know our girl?" says Chase stepping up to Blake's side. "Who? There are a lot of girls out here- which one is 'yours'" the guy said with his hands up making the quotation marks as he said yours. The guys and I all glance at each other before coming to a silent agreement. So, all in unison we say "Invery Blaze". For a split second- if you blinked- you would have missed the shock pass through his eyes before his face went blank.

"I don't know who your talking about" he spoke low, with a leveled voice trying to keep it void of all emotion as he tried to push past us. With his head down avoiding eye-contact I grabbed him by his arm. "We think you do..." I said trying to make my voice low and mincing as the rest. With his swift glance at me he hesitated before answering "Look man- I said I don't know her now let me go"

'What is he hiding?'

"We will, just answer our question" I said one last time. With a huff of annoyance and displeasure he looked up "Okay, you got me I do know her- knew her a long time ago. She's only a part of my past" the guy concluded running a harsh hand through his hair "Is there anything else?"

"Yes"

"What?"

"Were you her boyfriend?"

"NO! Bro- no"

"Why do you say it like that? Do you not believe she is beautiful?"

"What?! I never- Of course she's beautiful"
"Are you sure you weren't her boyfriend" interjected Jordan from the side lines

"I'm positive- I would never"

"Ever?"

"EVER- She's my sister..." He said with another sigh.

"Sister? Invery said she didn't have any siblings" I mumbled low enough for only for the guys and Vet to hear as they nodded in agreement.

"She doesn't- that's all in the past" I could feel the anger radiating off him, then lastly in one swift movement he finally pushed past us all as he stormed off.

"WAIT!" called out Vet before he was too far out of hearing distance

He paused for a moment and turned around slightly "WHAT?!" he yelled back

"WHAT'S YOUR NAME!?"

"ALEC!" Alec yelled back once more before turning back around and continued walking towards a group of people.

'Alec'

~~~

JORDAN'S POV:

"Alec" I said softly as he walked off. "I never knew she had siblings..." Vet spoke with the hurt evident in her voice. Invery never says anything about her past and we came here to get rid of all her problems- all the stress yet she still has her past show up.

'She can never catch a break can she' I thought with a sigh.

This isn't the end- we will see him again and get more answers hopefully. "Is he her only sibling?" I thought out loud to the guys and Vet. They all seemed to think my answer over also- to see it there were any possibilities. There was a long pause before Chase broke the silence "We should head back to the house" he said and started walking towards the house.

'I guess my princess is hiding more then we thought'

~~~

When we get to the house we decided to slip in that we met someone- new- and see how Princess reacts. 'Cause if we are being frank- he could have been lying to get us to stay away. Austin walks in the door first and we find Invery- in the same spot she has been sitting in for the last day or so.

"We met someone new today-" started Blake. Inery made no effort to move- so we continued "Yeah-" said Chase "-He was real cool- what was his name again" He pretended to ponder some more. I knew for a fact his name was still fresh on our minds. "Was it-it Alex? No.." interjected Cole. I snap my fingers as if to remembered "I remember! It was- ALEC!" I said and stressed his name at the end. In a split second Invery snapped her head towards us.

'Gotcha'

"Yeah!-" started Vet "-That was his name! HE said he knew V too-" We all looked at princess "Do you know him Princess?" I spoke then raised my eyebrow. Her eyes started tearing up and right before her tears dropped she took a deep breath in and closed her eyes before answering " I knew him-" she said while glancing between us all "-That was many years ago so I can't say who he is now" she finished with the wonder in her eyes. Austin was about to speak when she added one more thing "I didn't want to believe it was him" she spoke softly.

"Who was he?" asked Austin. She looked at him- locked eyes and said 2 words "My past". Then she got up and walked out of the front room to her room and shut the door. A slight 'Click' was heard and the room fell silent.

AUSTIN'S POV:

We all stood in our spots taking in the information. Even though her answer was indirect- we all understood. One by one we all left the room. Each person claiming to have places to go. Me on the other hand- I was going to talk to Invery. We always have had a connection and I have a soft spot for her. What can I say- she makes me feel innocent again. When I walk to her door I knock- no reply- So I knock again.

"Who is it?"

"Austin" I reply

With a shuffle of feet on the other side of the door Invery opens the door and looks me up from my head to my toes. "Is there something you need?" she asked. I shook me head "Can we talk?" I asked. "I don't want to talk about what just happened" she started to closed the door when I stopped it with my foot "I just want to talk" I said softly. We brought her here cause we wanted her to have some fun- we care about her and all the stress on a 16 year old is never good. She opens the door and steps out of the way to let me in. "What do you want to talk about?" she asked "I don't know- tell me something I don't know about you" I said. She seemed to think it over- to analyze all her secrets to find the one she wouldn't mind telling. She started to smile and said "I never lose-" she started. I scuffed and started to think over all the games we have played and- shes never lost "I already know that Inv-" she stopped me by raising her finger and restated her statement "I never lose at- strip games" she smiled

'Me neither' I thought and started to sweetly smile

"Your going to lose this time"
~~~
We had went and found a deck of cards and decided we'd play BS- Strip. If you call BS and your wrong- not only have to take the cards- but take off a piece of clothing. Right now we are pretty much tied. Shes a girl so she has the advantage. I had on my boxers and she was left in her bra and underwear. I put down my cards "Two four's" I said. I was BSing but I was hoping she didn't catch my bluff, but she did- she did every time. Glancing over her cards she said "Bull shit" and did a once over my boxers.

'Shit, shit, shit!'

"Do you really want me to-"

"Yes" she cut me off

"Do I have to-"

"Yes"

"Wouldn't you rather ju-"

"NO- For the lords sake- just take it off already!"

I slowly walk to the bathroom and take them off. Looking in the mirror I sigh then walk out with my hands holding my JR.

'I can't believe she won'

"I can't believe you won"

Invery chuckled then took a picture of me. "AYE! Dude! you can't do that it's against the rules!" I shouted "No it's not" she laughed back. "Sweetheart- since I'm in my birthday suit-" I step closer "-What about you get in yours" In a short pause she was on her way to the door "I'll pass" she said then out the door she went. I was about to run after her when I remembered I was naked.

'Nothing they haven't seen before'

And I went running after her "INVERY!" as I'm running I yell. "What's going on?" ask Vet looking out her room then screams when shes that I'm naked. I pause fast to say sorry then I continue running.

'Damn this girl is fast!'

~~~~

I don't catch her... sadly- lets just say that

AXAL'S POV:

Once I left the house I went to go find Invery's so called 'Brother'. I went looking on the beach for hours and I couldn't find him anywhere. The last place I looked happened to be the bar and there he was sitting on a bar stool. I feel blessed that I didn't forget fake ID. "Hey" I say walking up to Alec. He turns and looks at me then rolls Don't you have a life?" he said annoyed. I shook my head and sat on the stool right next to him. "What's your story?"

"Ask her"

"She won't tell me"

"That sucks..."

"What is so bad about your past that you both won't say? Don't be a dumb ass- find your dick and answer the got damn question you dumb fuck" Alec paused stirring his drink before he ripped it up and took a deep breath in.

"We had shit parents- so I took myself and two of my younger siblings the fuck away from that hell hole and was forced to leave one behind-BUT! It seems like she's doing just fine"

Of course she does- she would never let you or anyone know she's dying on the inside. She's been through more then I thought. "If you don't mind me asking-"
"-Even if I did you would ask anyway you disrespectful fuck" Alec cut me off

"If your disrespectful piece of shit don't mind me asking-" I continue "-What happened after you left" Alec scrunched up his face and seemed to think really hard before answering. "When I left I wanted to find my sister- I knew she was out there-"

'There's another sister?'

"-After a while I had to stop cause I knew I had to other children take care of now and that I can't just waste time on a hunch. I finished school and got a degree with so much hard work and after my siblings got a little older I thought It would be a good time to move home-I had no idea Invery was still here- since then everything has been chill" Alec finished- he paused for a second then looked me in the eyes "How's my little sister? You treating her right?" I knew he wanted to know and he was concerned. "What about we talk about this at my house?" I say. Alec
