Cross Roads (/'krôs rōdz/):
A point at where a crucial decision must be made that will have far-reaching consequences.

They were two individuals, both mad at the world. 

Both teenagers: Beatriz and Kareem, seem to have something against the world, something against the way their lives turned out to be. Being from two different sides of town, you would think they'd have something against each other as well. However, when these two teens cross paths, it turns out to be more than "fate" that lead them to one another.

[# 88 in TEEN FICTION on 14/3/18.] [#5 in angerissues on 10/05/2018] COMPLETED!!! No matter where you come from, your dreams are always valid. RULE 1: Never let anyone under estimate the power of your dreams. RULE 2: Always follow rule one. These were the only principles little Ria lived by. Her devoting and protective nature always came out as harsh and bitch-y. Everytime she felt threatened, her claws came out, ready to defend...to destroy. It's only you who knows the value of your dreams. So, what will she do when her exterminator walks into her life, ready to ruin everything she lives for. She fight's. A fight between two souls. ________________________________ "Who do you think you are?" she asked, bravery seeping through every syllable leaving her mouth. A devil carves fear, and when you don't give him that, he is agitated. "Your nightmare baby." he smirked as he leaned closer to her. They say never look into his eyes...he is evil. Don't cross paths with him...he is unforgiving. Never challenge him...he is destructive. But what did she do??? Every damn thing she wasn't supposed to! Add a punch to the already shaky equation and you'll find yourself amidst drama...teenage drama. Is it right to let these two souls collide? "I am not your damn servant whom you order around, get that straight through your thick skull!" with that she walked away like a pro if I may say so...leaving him staring at the place where she previously stood. When an ego is hurt, revenge is born. "Come on guys. . .we need to sort out some things," all his friends could do was watch; watch helplessly, as destruction planted it's ugly claws into their lives. A tale of destruction, misery, loyalty, friendship, trust and betrayal. "If you call yourself a dreamer, I call myself a dream-snatcher. You won't even know what hit you, little girl," he thought, as he smirked wickedly at her retreating figure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Has mild cursing be warned!

23 parts Complete Mature

Ri'Kina couldn't tell up from down. Her Mother kicked her out when she was 15. She was sent to live with her other family. Family that she did not know. From one abusive situation to the next. Ri'Kina was forced to navigate her life. A life that she did not want. She quickly learned that being light skinned wasn't cool. Where was her acceptance? She had always felt like a outsider regardless. Unwanted and barely tolerated by both sides. What was so bad about being mixed, she often wondered. Why was that a factor in her life? Ri'Kina was a shy, obedient teen. She did not understand why she was treated like trash. Her new lease on life was to fake it until she made it. She was continuously, broken, battered and berated. Love and support were non existent. Ri'Kina's naivety lured her into the streets. And baby how they did talk!
