Veronica Ashley Diaz... She isn't perfect, no one is, but she was going to explore her imperfections. She was always a weird one, never being fazed by gore, always had a strong stomach and always protected those in need. She was the type of girl that if a bully was picking on some kid she didn't know, she would step in without hesitation. Growing up she had a rough childhood.. And she remembers it all...

At the age of 3 her biological parents split up, her mother having full custody, with only seeing her father every other weekend she was confused on life, her parents would talk bad about one another, fill her head with different things, she never knew who to believe out of the two. She felt alone in the world and had to figure things out on her own by listening in. This is why she is an ease-dropper.

Becoming 10 was a big age for Veronica, she was finally in the double digits! She felt like a young lady!. . Well apparently so did her older cousin Cassandra.. Cassandra and Veronica were close, almost like sisters. They would have sleepovers as often as they could. The night of Veronica's 10th birthday she stayed at her cousins house. It was late in the night, the two shared a bed, but this time.. It was different.... As Veronica was getting in bed, she pulled the covers over her, yet only to be pinned down to the bed by her cousin, who was 14 at the time. Veronica was confused and thought they were wrestling, so she struggled. Cassandra had something different in mind.  That night Veronica was silenced by her own underwear being stuffed in her mouth as her cousin took advantage of her body.. After then Veronica became sensitive to people.. Didn't matter who she never wanted to be alone with just one lesson.

At the age of 12, spending the summer with her oldest sister Annastatia, her two nephews Antonio and Alex, ages 5 and 4, her niece Aaliyah not much older than 7 months, and her sisters babydaddy.. One day Veronica came home from taking her nephews to the park nearby the apartments her sister lived. Unlocking the door she heard Ana and her Babydaddy fighting, not wanting Antonio and Alex to see she told them to wait outside by the door. Slipping in without being noticed Veronica went to check on her niece.. Only to see her niece floating in the tub full of bath water faced down...... That scene she can never erase from her mind is followed by these scenes. Veronica filled by rage she went and grabbed Ana's gun from the hiding spot only her and Veronica knew. Loading it she rushed into the living room and shot the Babydaddy in the knees, Ana screamed and looked at Veronica, asking what she was doing. Veronica drops the gun and points to the bathroom before dropping to her knees and crying. Ana soon did the same, whaling in sadness the two hugged, not long after police arrived. Luckily an officer Veronica knew due to her father showed up, Officer José Luna was his name, pulling Veronica aside he heard her story. He took Veronica, Ana and her sons to the station to stay for the night. Soon after Ana was separated from her sons, and Veronica was sent back home to her mother, unaware that Officer Luna wouldn't inform Veronica's mother. That's when Veronica was diagnosed with PTSD.

Years after Veronica turned 14 and started high school. Freshmen year was a big deal to her, thinking it was a new chapter in her life. She was exquisite to start the new chapter off right... That was until the ending of August. As Veronica grew up more and more her relationship with her biological father became fragile. She would do her best to go and see him, but as high school was around the corner then she couldn't. So at the end of August, right after Veronica's birthday, her Marching Band was headed to a game, not to far from where her biological father stayed. She called him and offered a ticket to him, he accepted and came to that night, but the thing was. He thought his daughter was ON the football team, seeing there was a female player on the team, but soon enough his image of his daughter was shattered. He saw she was in the band! This isn't how he raised her, she should be on the field, not playing for it! He would think to himself. Once the band members received their break she met up with him, only to be stopped. Her father called her a disgrace, a disappointment to the family. Veronica ran away from her father and cried the rest of the game, but that wasn't the end of her bad luck......
About a month after Veronica sat at home with her mother and step-father, she was currently in her room studying when her phone went off, showing an unknown number. Answering the phone the other person on the line spoke.. Veronica's heart shattered. The person on the other lime worked for a hospital near where her older brother Xavier lived.. They informed Veronica that her brother passed away from stage 4 cancer. Hanging up the phone instantly she shut herself out of the outside world, her life having no color, no sun, just an empty void. This is where her depression begun.

Over the years Veronica had developed Anxiety, luckily her mother told her how to handle it, but on her worse nights.. Veronica turned to the blade.. In middle school it only started as a few cuts, but once high school came the cuts multiplied as well as well as became deeper, on some nights she would make from 15-27 cuts in her left arm. Her friends found out and attempted to help her stop, she went to therapy, she took medications, but all were only short term.. At the age of 15 she felt she would lose the battle.. On January 12th, 2019 Veronica was home alone, this would be the day she ended all her pain once and for all.. Grabbing a kitchen knife she held it to her throat and made about an 6in cut.. Going light headed she fainted on the floor, the world around her going black... Once she woke up she noticed she wasn't in an unfamiliar place. She was in a hospital. Hooked up to an IV and everything. The Doctor, her mother and step-father and grandparents were in the room, the Doctor explained that the cut she made was deep enough to leave a scar, but not deep enough to bust any major blood lines. A few days later Veronica went home and believed she was alive for a reason, she knew she hurt the people around her so making a vow she would never have an attempt at suicide again.. But that didn't stop her cutting her arm gently every now and then.

Veronica has a very messed up childhood, and yet she still was able to stay strong and become the woman she is today. Now that she graduated high school and finished her community college she's off to Boulder Colorado to presume her dream and be the best she can be!
