Tell Me Why - Anthony Trujillo

I glared at the back of Anthony's head, thinking of all the different way to hurt him right now.

He was good at 'our little game'. He was too good and that bothered me. Just seconds ago he made my knees go weak just by placing a simple and subtle kiss behind my ear. Nobody noticed of course. To them it looked like he was whispering in my ear.

"Are you trying to murder Anthony with your eyes?" I snapped out of my thoughts to see Kade standing next to me. "More like thinking of ways to physically hurt him." I corrected. "And why is that?" Kade raised his eyebrows. "No reason." I shrugged, an innocent smile forming on my lips. "If you say so." He chuckled, walking away to talk to Nathan about something.

"Rae, did you finish packing?" Jake asked. Us Ohio people and Nathan were leaving to New York soon for a little trip. Jake got the opportunity to do a song with Gucci Mane and I was having a photo shoot and an interview for a magazine. Chance just tagged along for one or two days since he got an acting role and had to return to set. Anthony would be in the music video. And well Nathan was the videographer.

"I'm ready." I told Jake and got off the kitchen counter and adjusted my black sweatpants. "We're leaving in an hour." He reminded and then walked upstairs to probably pack up some last things.

We just arrived at our hotel in New York. I've been to the city before but it mesmerized me every time.

I had a separate room from the boys which I was glad for. Being next door was enough. "Hey. Get ready, we're going out." Chance informed me, peeking his head into my room. "Okay." I nodded and then watched him leave again. I got off the comfortable bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Once I did that I applied makeup and curled my hair. Then I got out an outfit. A little extra as always but we were going to hit New York's clubs. Since Chance had turned 21 too Jake was the only one out of us four still under 21. To think I'd turn 22 soon was crazy. Time went by so fast.

I stepped out of the bathroom, mindlessly singing the words to Post Malone's Go Flex. "Haven't heard you sing live in a while." My eyes snapped up to see Jake, Chance and Anthony sprawled on my bed, Jake recording me on his phone. Nathan had to stay back, poor guy. "You haven't been around that much." I shrugged, offering a smile to the boys, adjusting my jumpsuit.

"You look great." Anthony complimented. "I try." I winked to him. I grabbed a little purse and threw everything necessary in it. Then I turned back to the boys. "Are we ready?" I asked with raised eyebrows. They immediately jumped off the bed and we left.

"I just got the message that we have some special guests in tonight!" The DJ spoke through the mic as The four of us just sat down at our little table in the VIP section to drink something. We had danced and yelled our butts off and the dance floor.

"We heard Jake Paul, Raegan Jesson and Chance Sutton and Anthony Trujillo are in the house!" The DJ announced. The four of us looked at each other not expecting him to mean us. I mean it happened before when we went out but in clubs in LA, where we were more often and more people knew us. We didn't expect it in New York.

People cheered even though I was sure not everyone knew who we were. A little spotlight came onto us. We kind of just waved and smiled. "So Miss RJ..what do you think? You wanna give 'em a taste of your talent?" The DJ asked. I was down so I stood up and gave him a thumbs up. "Let's go!" I shouted to the boys over the music that was playing.

We were escorted to the DJ and the little stage he had around him. "What do you wanna sing?" He asked. "Everyday..my song." I told him. He handed me a microphone with a nod. "Can I have another mic please?" I asked. I had a plan. This situation and the song were the perfect opportunity to show Anthony that I was just as good at playing with him. It was a chance to get back at him.

I stepped towards him and held the mic out. "You're a decent rapper and I'm hoping you know Landon's part in Everyday." I said into his ear so he could understand. He looked a little confused but nodded anyway. I gave the DJ the sign to start the song and do he did. We stepped to the front of the stage, standing next to each other. Anthony stood a little off the side though, not wanting to akwardly stand in the light until his verse comes. This was perfect.

"Anytime I'm alone, I can't help thinking about you
All I want, all I need, honestly, it's just me and you.." I was singing to the crowd making them cheer already.

"He giving me that good shit, that make me not quit, that good shit. He giving me that good shit, that make me not quit, that good shit." I glanced at Anthony, winking at him. I could see his lips form into a smirk. Oh he was in for a treat.

"Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
Oh, he give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday
He give it to me
Everyday, everyday, everyday" The beat went faster so I started dancing to it, making sure Anthony could see how I swayed my hips and moved.

Now, came the best part.

"Anytime, anywhere, baby boy, I can misbehave.Breathe me in, breathe me out, fill me up..Running through your veins." My eyes met his and I moved towards him as I sang. I reached him and ran a hand down his chest, my hand stopping by his belt and grabbing it before quite forcefully pulling him closer to me, making the crowd erupt into cheers.

Anthony seemed to enjoy it, thinking I'd finally want him. Little did he know..

I continued the song, playing with Anthony until his verse came. He actually killed it.

"I put that work on you everyday
When the night fall 'til the sun come
You done fell in love with a bad guy
I don't compromise my passion
It's not what you do for me, I'm doing the same for you
I don't be tripping or making mistakes
I made too many in my past
I fight for the things you believe in
I got your body and put it on drive and
I got the keys and
We about to take us a vacation
I'm about to put all this vintage loving on you
Baby like it was the late 80s
When you ride on me, baby rotate it." Through everything he was holding eye contact as he rapped and danced along with me. I occasionally threw in some background vocals. For once I could forget that this used to be about Landon. I could forget that he used to rap those words for me.

Then I sang the rest of the song, more towards the crowd this time but still making sure Anthony saw how I moved. I didn't know why but it gave my confidence some kind of boost, knowing he was watching me, wanting me. I was liking it, liking how I could play with him. Did that make me a bad person? Maybe, but I was enjoying the moment. I was having fun.

The club applauded and cheered for us. I was smiling widely at the people. I loved this feeling. The feeling of people liking what I did or performed.

For the rest of the night we were having fun, drinking and letting loose. I think that is what we all had needed. We needed time off, time to let loose of all the stress, the hate, the negativity.

But the next morning I was bound to regret it..
