1 " Diane had always admired Kaci’s strength and outspoken nature. "
― Valenciya Lyons , Cami's Decision (The Crossroads Trilogy Book 1)
2 " The idea of becoming a mother at sixteen was the scariest thing that she’d ever thought of. "
3 " Leena and Kelly Davidson have always lived a comfortable life. Neither girl has ever held a job nor did they intend to get one. All they wanted was to live off their parents’ money for their rest of their lives. What could be better than that? "
4 " As a young sixteen-year-old girl, Camila “Cami” Alderson should’ve been worrying about finding the right dress for the junior prom and goofing off with friends. The possibility of being pregnant should’ve been the last thing on her mind but the scary thought was always there. "
5 " Just looking at her mother made Cami think about how having another mouth to feed in the house would be a huge burden. She was working her butt off at two jobs already as a registered nurse and a waitress. With a mortgage payment, student loan debt, credit card debt, and loads of other bills that she once did not think about twice, her mother was forced to work longer hours after her now ex-husband abandoned his family for another woman. "
6 " She and Kaci were as different as day was from night. She was sensitive while Kaci was more thick-skinned; she was more passive while Kaci was more assertive. She hated to think of herself as sensitive and passive but she knew that it was true. She yearned to be more like her younger sister but she just wasn’t sure if she had it in her. "
7 " She glanced down at the pregnancy test. Her worst fear has become her new reality. "
8 " Tammy dips her pickles in mustard and red dirt and everyone knows why,” she whispered as if someone might overhear. "
9 " He was her first. She loved him, and she honestly thought that they would spend the rest of their lives together. "
10 " She may have been only sixteen years old, but there was a new life growing inside of her. She fought back tears that she could feel forming in her eyes. She hated to admit it but she was scared since she wasn’t even old enough to take care of a baby. She wasn’t even old enough to take care of herself. She was just a kid who still lived at home with her mother, and this kid was not ready to become a mother. "
11 " Although she was older, it seemed as if Kaci was the one who was the older sister. She had always been more mature and was always taking the lead. Many older siblings would hate taking orders from their younger siblings but she didn’t mind. This had always suited her just fine because she didn’t like being the one to take charge. She would rather be the follower than the leader. "
