With You (Sasha Banks x Dean Ambrose)

"Alright, everyone ready?" Jacob asked as he, Callie, Claire, Asher, Aria, and Dante arrived at a local CrossFit gym in LA before Callie had rehearsals later that Wednesday morning.

"Yep. My legs are gonna be on fire after this and dance." Callie replied as she was doing more of a leg workout in preparation for the semi finals in four days.

"Are you adding more to your workout?" Claire asked as the six friends were inside, drinking their own individual pre workouts that they enjoyed.

"Yep, gotta do it for the win." She replied as everyone got set up to do their own workout.

Callie grabbed her headphones and weight belt, going off into her own world for her workout. She was focused and prepared for the semi finals. She was going to do whatever it takes to win. She was on a mission to regain everything she lost, no matter what it takes. She had one final shot to make it into the finale and that was on Monday.

"Good job, baby." Jacob smiled after quickly kissing her on the lips once everyone was done with their workout.

"Thanks babe, we ready to go eat?" Callie asked as everyone nodded their heads, the six heading out before a long day ahead.

Four days later, Monday rolled around. It was the semi finals as Callie made it to the top four. She was having a lot of emotions going into it, but was determined to make it to the finale the following week. Tonight especially would make or break her.

Callie had three duets, all within the same styles. Two were with Jacob and one was with Claire. Callie was relieved to be dancing with her boyfriend and best friend once again as they provided a level of safety, comfort, and calmness on the floor.

Her first duet with Jacob would open the show. It was a contemporary routine to the song I Almost Do by Taylor Swift. Their story with the dance was that the two were engaged, falling off the wedding as Callie would have regrets about it. It would be too late in the dance as they'd have to go their separate ways. The young couple were excited to dance this beautiful routine.

The two had another duet as the third dance of the evening. It was another contemporary routine, but no story behind it. Just a beautiful routine that the two would do together. It was to the song Stargirl Interlude by The Weeknd and Lana Del Ray.

Callie's third duet was with Claire. They were second to last on the show. Their routine was an acrobatic and contemporary mashup. It was to the song Eternal Youth by Rude. Their duet had a story as well. They were going to portray living in their own animatronic world and their journey through it. The routine was filled with spectacular choreography, even lifts for the two girls. Callie was ready to leave it all on the floor, in hopes to make it to the finale yet again.

"Callie, you look absolutely gorgeous!" Brittney grinned as she, Liam, Taylor, and Jeremy walked in to her dressing room.

"So beautiful, sissy! You're gonna do amazing tonight!" Taylor beamed as they hugged Callie.

"Thank you! I'm just really, really nervous. I wanna win but the stakes are high with a double elimination tonight." Callie gritted while sitting with her older siblings.

"Callie, you got this. You know that?" Liam assured his youngest sister while hugging her.

"You weren't even supposed to be cleared to dance again, let alone on a huge show like this in the semi finals. You've overcome a lot of obstacles in the last couple years sis. We all believe in you. You need to believe in you, Cal. I love you sis, you got this in the bag." He encouraged her as she listened attentively and gave a soft smile at her oldest brother.
