The next day was pretty much the same routine as yesterday. Get up and dressed, go to ALDC LA and audition. Abby had eliminated about half the dancers yesterday, Jazzy, Cami and Daylyn being some of them. Jenna, Brooklyn and I were still in.
When my mom and I arrived, Jenna was in a class. She was performing a contemporary number to the song 'The Hanging Tree' from The Hunger Games. One girl in a bright blue leotard did a front aerial and fell to the floor, and we all knew Abby would eliminate her. Tears welled in the small girls eyes as Abby looked at her.

"You can go now." Abby said waving towards the door.
The girl ran out of the room crying. I felt bad for her, yet I was relieved I was still in.

After the routine was over, Jenna came out of the room. She tightened her ponytail and walked over to where she had set her bag. I sat down next to her.

"You did really good." I said.
"Thanks! I feel bad for that one girl." Jenna mumbled.
"Same here, do you know her name?" I asked, examining the room to see if the girl was still there.
"I think it was something Hanna or Hailey or something like that." Jenna replied.

I nodded and took out my phone. I opened instagram and scrolled through my notifications. Jenna and I watched a few video edits and scrolled through a few fanpage profiles. Soon, it was my time to dance.
I got up and walked over to studio A. Jenna walked with me and sat outside the room to watch.
Abby came to the front of the room and told us that we would be doing an improv routine to 'Stitches' by Shawn Mendes. The music started and we started dancing. I saw one girl slip on a turn out of the corner of my eye, and felt sorry for her.
After the music stopped, Abby sent home the girl who had slipped, and a small girl in a yellow leotard. They both ran out of the room devastated.
By the time it was 3:00, about thirty people had been sent home. Jenna and I were beginning to get much more stressed.
When it was around 8:00 my feet were beginning to blister. Jenna and I were still remaining, yet Brooklyn had been sent home a few hours earlier.
Jenna went over to studio A for another audition. It was a improv dance with the song 'Demons' by Imagine Dragons, which was a contemporary type song. The music started and Jenna began to dance.
She was doing amazing until the chorus. She did a leg hold turn, when a tall girl ran into her while doing a leap. Jenna and the girl fell to the ground. Abby stopped the music and walked over to them sternly.

"What was that?" she barked.
"I.. I.." stuttered Jenna.
"That was not acceptable. Goodbye." Abby said looking down at them.

Jenna got up and ran into the bathroom, brushing past me. The other girl got up, a blank expression on her face.
I turned and ran after Jenna. She was standing at the sink, crying into her hands.

"I did awful!" she cried.
"No you didn't! You did amazing. That other girl messed you up." I told her.
"I shouldn't of gone in the middle of the room. That's why fell." Jenna said, scolding herself.
"Jenna you did fine." I repeated.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yes!" I cheered.
"Thanks." Jenna said, trying to blink away the tears in her eyes.
"Let's go watch auditions." I told her.

We then walked out of the bathroom. Abby called for the last 10 girls who were remaining, and I was one of them.
I walked into studio A, ready to dance for my life. The music started, and the last audition began.
