With You PT 2 (Sasha Banks x Dean Ambrose)

11

"Alright, are we ready?" Jacob asked as he and Callie were in Los Angeles for a quick trip. The two were going to be performing at the VMAs, but in a different way. They were going to be dancing at the VMAs instead of Callie singing, which is what she usually did there. It was nice for the two of them to do this together and a change of activity at the award show.

"Yep, let me just touch up my lips a little and then we'll go." Callie said as she had her now dark red colored locks down and curled, her makeup already done. She had her hair dyed for her character on London, but would go back to her natural brunette locks before her and Jacob's wedding in nine months.

"You look beautiful, baby girl." He grinned as Callie came back out, dressed and ready to go. 

"Thank you, baby. Let's head out." Callie beamed as the two lovingly kissed and left their hotel room to head to where the VMAs were being held in LA.

The two headed out to the VMAs, catching up with some peers in their respective industries. It was nice for them to be able to do all the things, but Callie was still ready to be done and take the step back after she and Jacob made that decision last month. For now, she'd focus on the job at hand. Luckily, it was just the routine and she and Jacob didn't have to do anything extremely crazy with the award show.

After getting to talk to everyone backstage at the VMAs, the two began getting ready in their costumes. Their performance was first as they'd be dancing while the artist sang. They knew they were dancing contemporary and got to choreograph the routine themselves, which the style was their favorite to do together. They knew it would be great, it was just a matter of time before they would get to perform.

"Oooh, look at you." Callie grinned as she saw Jacob dressed and ready as she was too.

"Like what you see?" He chuckled as she came over and kissed him.

"Of course I do, you're about to be my husband." She winked as the two kissed again before heading out on stage.

The two of them headed out to the stage once they found one of the backstage workers to direct them on where to go. They got to their marks on the stage, seeing the artist come out and they prepared for the routine. The host of the VMAs announced them on stage. Just a few moments later, the music hit and they began performing.

Callie and Jacob were enjoying the routine and performing for everyone on stage. Dance was and always would be their first love with their careers, given it's what made them fall in love six years ago. Everything was going great until the end. As the two were finishing the routine, Callie felt a sharp pain and they heard a loud pop coming from her left knee. They finished the dance as Callie looked up at Jacob with tears in her eyes.

"Something's wrong with my left knee." She whispered as the show was on commercial break and they were trying to exit the stage.

"Is that what the pop was?" He asked, picking her up and carrying her off the stage.

"Yeah, it hurts really really bad." She winced, clinging on to her fiancé.

"Okay, let's get our stuff and get you to the hospital. There's no trainers here or medical staff, so let's get you to the nearest hospital baby. It's okay, I got you baby." He promised, kissing her cheek as they went to their dressing room and grabbed their belongings.

Without luck with having no medical staff at the VMAs, the next best thing was Jacob rushing Callie to the hospital. All the pain was in her left knee as it began swelling pretty quickly. He was able to make some make-shift ice bags and keep that over her knee in the back seat of their rental car while they got to the hospital. Callie was in a lot of pain and extremely annoyed with another injury in the books for her.

"Fuck," Callie gritted her teeth as Jacob parked their car and they arrived at the hospital.

"I know beautiful, I know. It's okay, I got you." Jacob assured her, carefully helping her up and carrying her into the hospital given she could not put any pressure on that leg.

Jacob quickly got Callie into the hospital as they got her back to a room. They immediately took her back for x-rays on her knee while Jacob waited in her room. They were both anxious and she was irritated with the pain she was in as well as dealing with another injury. She had her own ideas of what this injury would be, but for now went through all the protocol to get checked out and looked at.

Callie came back an hour later into the room where she saw Jacob waiting for her. They gave her some ice to put on her knee for the time being while they waited on her results from her x-rays. She was exhausted and in pain, Jacob holding her hand and keeping her as calm and comfortable as he could.

"This is so annoying and I know it's gonna be a rough injury." Callie groaned while Jacob was holding her hand.

"I understand, baby doll. It will be okay either way. I'm here baby, it will be okay." He promised, kissing her forehead while keeping her as relaxed as possible.

A little over an hour later, Callie's doctor and a handful of nurses came in with the results of her x-ray. The nurses came in to hook Callie up to an IV to give her some extra fluids and to give her some pain medicine through the IV. However, her doctor came in with unfortunate news.

Callie's doctor came in with the results from her x-rays after the nurses got her hooked up to the IV. She informed Callie and Jacob that she did indeed tear her left ACL. Luckily, it was not as bad as the tear Callie had nearly six years ago with her right ACL, MCL, and meniscus.

It was her left ACL that was torn with some slight damage done to her left MCL and meniscus. She couldn't help but get emotional when the doctor informed her. However, she was relieved to know that this would be a six month recovery compared to her twelve month recovery with her right leg injury just nearly six years ago.

"I hate this, I fucking hate this so much!" Callie cried as the doctor and nurses walked out of the room. Jacob held her hand, wiping some tears away.

"I know, baby, I know. I'm so sorry that you're hurt. I know it sucks, but the good news is that it's not as bad as the right knee injury. We will get you through this, back and better in no time." He calmly said, moving her dark red locks from her face and kissing her cheek.

"I just need you." She croaked, reaching up to hug him as he carefully held her close to him, rubbing her back and showing her the love and comfort she needed.

"Callie, baby. I'm here, I'm always here, okay? I'm always here and I'll get you through this. You're okay." He sympathized with her, helping her through another rough injury right as the chaos was ensuing within their lives.
