Victoria Garcia went on a two week vacation to Mexico with her family before her mom and younger brother made a move from Illinois to Texas.
Victoria Garcia did not get on the flight back home.
Victoria Garcia has been basically AWOL for the past year.
Now, she was on a flight back to her home state, to her dead end midwest town, to spend a summer with her old roomates before she took off on a cross country road trip- final destination, Hawaii. She dreaded this summer though, being stuck staying in a small town full of people who looked down on her for dropping out of college, people who laughed at her because of her weight, and a smaller group of people who kept a heart shattering secret from her for months.
Something happened to Victoria Garcia that caused her view on the world and everyone in it to change. When she left the states, she was weak and broken, naive and sensitive. Now, she was bold and wild, free and fierce, and she was stunning. Her new philosphy was this: don't let anyone get too close, do not get attached, and don't plants roots. Tori had vowed to herself that she would never let another man or woman close enough to hurt her, no matter what the cost. Love and trust were two words no longer in her vocabulary.
That is until one drunken night when Jordan Wells came into her life. An old high school classmate, but they were never in the same circle. He was the typical boy next door, and Tori was, well, not popular then. But, after a few too many drinks and a long conversation full of laughs and some tears, Jordan Wells now had one goal- break down Victoria's walls.

It's just a small bruise, though, so I guess it's okay?" "Thanks, Doctor," he teased, and she pouted, the warmth of her skin leaving as she settled back into her seat. "How is it my fault you like to fight?" She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and he fully leaned in. His hand was no longer on the edge of the back cushions; rather, it had moved to her thigh.

Chasing Charming ✔️
Complete! "You know I really like you, right?" He was definitely drunk. "You do?" I asked. My voice was supposed to be teasing, but I think it came off as a bit startled. He laughed, "Yeah, why else would I trust you with all my secrets?" -- Betty was many things; a romantic, a fashion designer, a bit more jealous than the average girl, great with a camera, a helpful daughter and a good friend. But she was best known for being nice. And usually, the boy did not want the 'nice' girl. But this summer she was going to prove to Mike, her crush since FOREVER, that nice was enough. She was going to have an amazing summer, a perfect Junior year, and finally have her first kiss. It was a foolproof plan. Moving from her childhood home in Arizona to New Mexico at the start of Junior year was never a part of Betty's plan. But sometimes when parents are involved, plans change. So now the nice girl had to start over at a new school in a new State. And when the (maybe not so bad) bad boy, Eli, gets involved, it might be hard to be known as 'the nice girl'.Complete
