LOVE IT. I like the use of the lighting to symbolize head lights. The saying!!!! My HEART!!!
Sweet and straight to the point. States the topic and states the problem.
Some few problems. If you want this to be in the present you can't use past tense words. (found closer to the end of chap one) I left you some comments on things you should fix/ suggestions.
I was very confused when he started yelling and he splatted about his dad. We never heard anything about his dad before. I suggest you take that line about his dad out or add some where before the yelling, about his dad. What did his dad do that he'll bring it up.
When you say "I obviously can't tell her that I was at a bar." I would change this to something else. Like 'I obviously can't tell her I'm losing hope, I can't get a drink and now I can't get my smokes.' I used the word smokes, but weed would be the correct term since smokes is mostly signified as cigarettes.
Watch your sentence flow. You seem to one moment go from telling a story to short-stab-by-sen-ten-ces; see what I did there?

I see potential with this story. At first when I was reading the summary I was scared this was going to be like a John Green book, but it's not. Which I like. No story will ever be prefect, but a few touch ups and I think it will be good. I really like how at the end of the chapter you stated how you feel about the topic. I actually might read on (if I find the time 😭). I'm a hopeless romantic.

Elizabeth, Elizabeth
An astroid miner encounters pirates attempting to commandeer his processing ship, Elizabeth, while he was away responding to other miner's mayday. The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer. Piracy and corruption are overly common, but Jeffrey, his team and his AI defeat the enemy, only to have it resurface shortly afterward. Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth. They secretly tried to manipulate humans to doing their will, and Jeffrey discovered that they were the organizers and force behind the piracy. Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology. This is the saga of a technically sophisticated man, his smart and loyal artificial intelligence, and the people he surrounds himself with.
