" Veronica what the hell are you doing " my father asked. I was playing in the dirt and I got my clothes all dirty. My dad comes up and yells at me saying " you don't know how to do anything " your such a dumb girl ".

End of flashback

Hi my name is Veronica Torrez and this is my story. Currently I'm 14 years old I have a brother, he is 9 years old. His name is Seth. I have 2 older sisters. Their names are Sarah and Maria. Sarah is 24 years old. Maria is 23 years old. I know that may sound with kinda nasty but that's my life so yea.
I have my mom and my dad. Both are still together unfortunately. I was just thinking back to when I was a little girl. I was just doing what little kids would do. Until my dad came and ruin it for me. I don't really like my dad. I mean it's just he really doesn't act like father. Like he doesn't care for me or my siblings or my mom.
I had found out my dad was cheating on my mom back in May or June. He would always saying he is going to Mexico or to some other countries but I don't believe it. My mom always has to work her butt off for me and my siblings. I will always love my mom. My mom pays for my education. She pays for my phone. She pays for my clothes. She pays for my glasses ( yes I wear glasses don't judge ).
My dad, he doesn't help my mom. He doesn't pay for the house we live in. He has so much money in his bank account. He gets so mad if we even spend like 30 dollars on stuff we need. Right now I'm a fresh man. I'm in a high school called Alabama high school.
My friends are Jessica, Grace, Amy, Annie, and Emily. I have met Jessica, Amy, and Annie in 6 grade. I have talked to Grace around 7 grade. Then I met Emily in about February in 7 grade too. It's about 10:45pm. It's the end of thanksgiving. I'm watching the office I'm enjoying my time before I have to go to bed.
I miss my friends. On May 21 I meet this girl online. We have became best friends very fast. Her name is Karla. I have told 2 out of my 5 friends about my situation with my dad. Karla lives far from me. I like her. Btw I'm bi I just haven't told anyone yet. Well only the same 2 friends who know about my dad know about me being bi too. I don't know if I wanna tell anyone. I feel scared. But that's for a different day.
Let's just stick to this day where we talk about my dad. Living with him it's not great. I mean he doesn't abuse me ( I'm not trying to make abuse seem like a funny thing it's not so please don't miss understand me ). He would like hit me like every once in a while when I don't do things right. I'm the only one in my friend group with stayed together parents. I would love it if they got a divorce tho. Right now it's Friday and I'm just in bed thinking right now when me and my family went to Cali and when we came back how my dad hit me.

Flashback

I was getting out the car and when I was getting out the bags. My dad notices how tall the grass is and he wanted me to cut it. So he is like "go outside and I'll show you how to cut the grass" he said with anger. So I went outside, he had brought the lawnmower for me. He was telling me how to do it, but i accidentally let go of the handle that keeps it on, which got me a hit to the arm.
" why did you turn it off, who told you can turn it off, watch what's gonna happen if you keep acting stupid" he yells at me.

End of flashback

My mom and my dad they have gotten into fights before. Some where he has hit her. Some where we had to call the police. My mom she really can't do anything to help us. I mean she tries too.
But anyway, I tell y'all how I look like. I'm 5'2 or 5'3. My hair is kinda long. It's brown, but I want to dye it purple. I wear glasses ( as y'all saw earlier hopefully, this story isn't boring y'all ) I'm the second shortest out of my friends. I'm the second oldest out of my friends. My birthday is May 20 2004. I have 5 dogs right now. I love them to death.
They are my kids to me. Let me tell you a bit about my self. I'm not the smart. But instead of being smart, I'm funny. I love to make my friends laugh. I like to tell jokes. I'm the crazy one and weird out of my friend group. I don't care tho because I know I'm a good crazy and good weird. The job I want is to be a vet. I love animals so I want to be a vet.
I love Pretty Little Liars. It's my favorite show. My favorite holiday is Christmas. I feel bad for my friend, Emily. She doesn't celebrate the holidays or her birthday because of reasons I don't know of. I have family around the world. I kinda like to read. Like I love reading the diary of a wimpy kid books. Those were my favorite books.
Now let's talk about my school.  There are 8 hours in the school day. Some might have 9 too. So it's alright. I mean I thought high school would be different. Your allowed to be on your phones. You can listen to your music. Yea it's cool but i miss Grace. She went to a different high school then me Jessica, Amy, Annie, and Emily. I don't like my 8 hour. I don't really know anyone in there. It's algebra, and it's kinda hard, considering I'm not that smart as I said.
But back to the subject. We are here to talk about my dad. I know you guys might be annoyed but bear with me please. I mean yeah when me and my brother were little, he would pull our ears or our hair. My sisters would sometimes hit us too. Maria doesn't live with us anymore.
All my dad does is he makes us do slave work even when we have school. He doesn't care as long as we get the work done. When it's really hot outside we still do yard work. When I got homework, he still makes me and my brother work. Like dude, I got stuff to do. Seth ( my brother ) is only 9 years old. You can't just make him work in the heat. He would always call me stupid or dumb or a failure. He makes my brother cry sometimes. I don't want him to live with my dad if he gonna be scared of him. He is always telling your getting no where in life. Your always gonna stay here and do this for the rest of your life. He would get mad at me because I can't understand him.
Both of my parents speak Spanish. Me and my brother, we speak English and we are learning more Spanish. He gets mad tho if he wants something from us and we can't understand. He would be like " are you stupid, go get me what I asked for, if your gonna keep being stupid watch what's  gonna happen to you". 
He is just not a great person. He talks trash about his kids. Who does that??? He does this with our aunts, his friends, my friends. It's seriously annoying. Then he is cheating on my mom just ughhhhh man. I hate people who cheat.
Your probably wondering why I haven't told my mom. Well, my siblings know he is cheating but no one is telling my or our mom, because we are afraid that she might confront him about it. We think it's gonna lead it up to a fight, which we don't want. He gets mad when we don't help with anything that has to do with technology.
Like it's not my fault. Your the one who wants to use it. You can't expect me to use your phone. Your the only who had a galaxy. The rest of the family has IPhones. So I need to tell you guys something. I should've mentioned this in the beginning.
I have asthma. I've had it since 5th grade. Once you have it for so long, you just learn to live with it.
My so called dad, he doesn't pay for my description. He doesn't pay for my medicine. He doesn't pay for my inhalers. That's all my mom. He really doesn't care if I do anything. So time for a story, yesterday it was like at 8' 0 clock at night.
My sister, Sarah, she has a car and she asked me to get something down from her car that she forgot to get down. So I was wearing a tank top and some grey shorts. Yes it's December, but it wasn't really that cold. And I been wearing shorts in the cold since November. My dad was doing something with his little white pick up truck, and he happen to go outside when I went outside.
He started to yell at me. " why are you wearing shorts outside, go back inside and change!!" My dad said. So I went outside and I changed. My sister asked me did I get the thing for her and I said no. And then I went back outside. " watch what happens with you go outside like that again". He started to yell at me in Spanish. And then he asked me do you understand and I yelled saying yes.
I don't understand why it bugged him so much. My mom didn't care. She let me wear what I want. As long if I wear a sweater if I go outside. I can go outside. I just wish sometimes I had a different dad. But life is unfortunate. You don't get what you want for most of the time. I just hope my parents get a divorce and fast.







And this is the end of day 1.
