Chapter 1
I've worked at the scrapyard for over a year now and I love my job. I love the people I work with. One of which I have a crush on. He's quiet and smart but doesn't see me the way I see him. His name is Johnny Coco Cruz. He is absolutely beautiful but he doesn't know how I feel about him. It's Friday night and I am hanging out at the clubhouse for yet another party and I am sitting at the bar with Gilly. I am six shots and two beers in and Gilly asks "You planning on getting drunk?" I laugh and say "That's the plan." before taking another swig of my beer. I look around and see one of the sweetbutts sitting on Coco's lap and turn back to the bar, taking another shot. "You okay?" Gilly asks. "Yeah. Why?" I ask. "Because your whole mood just changed." he says. "I'm good Gilly. Promise." I tell him. I take my beer and head out the door and to the cage to watch Creeper fighting a hangaround. I sit on the picnic table and just watch. Taza takes the seat next to me and asks "Having fun?" I look at him and smile and say "Always." before laying my head on his shoulder.
A little later, I am back in the clubhouse, sitting with Angel and Gilly and see Coco over to the side making out with a girl. I look away and say "I think I might head home." I tell them. "You don't need to be driving Princesa." Angel says. "I'm fine. See you guys later." I say before heading out the door. "Where are you going?" Bishop asks. "Home. See you guys later." I say and Hank says "You don't need to be driving." I roll my eyes and say "Angel said the same thing. I'm fine." I tell him and stumble to my car. Before I make it there, Bishop has my keys and says "Head to your dorm." I shake my head and say "I really want to go home." He looks at me concerned and says "You're not driving. Go to your dorm." he tells me and I finally nod my head and head to my dorm. Walking by Coco's dorm, I hear a woman moaning and walk into my dorm with tears in my eyes.
I wake up the next morning and get showered before clocking in and heading to the office. I start working on paperwork when Coco walks in to clock in. "Morning Lea." he says. "Morning." I say but I don't look up. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just trying to read Angel's chicken scratch." I say and he laughs a little. "Good luck with that Princesa." he says before walking out the door. Once he's out the door, I sigh and put my head in my hands. Chucky looks at me and asks "Are you okay Lea?" I look at him and smile softly and say "Yeah. Just a little hungover I guess." I tell him and he nods before we both go back to work.
That night there's another party. "You staying?" Angel asks. "Nah. I think I might head home." I tell him. "Come hang out with me." he says and I shake my head. He leans forward and whispers "You want him to notice you don't you?" he asks and I look at him shocked. "Don't worry Princesa. I won't tell and I'm the only one that knows." He tells me and I nod. "Hang with me." he tells me. "For a little while." I tell him.
We head inside and to the bar and the bartender places a beer in front of me and Angel. "Why don't you tell him?" he asks. "What would be the point?" I ask. We go on talking and I see him head to the dorm again with yet another sweetbutt and I can't handle it anymore. "I think it's time to head home." I tell Angel. He walks me out and says "You should tell him." I nod and get into my car. "Text me when you get home." Angel says and I just nod. A few minutes later, I pull into the driveway and head into the house. I send Angel a text letting him know I made it home and head to bed, thinking about Coco.
