Tom was annoyed, he told himself he was bothered by the fact that he got backhanded by Andreas, but there was this voice in his head that kept nagging about one thing: Now Andreas is closer to Bill than you are, you're no longer no.1 in his life, and he chose the faggot's friendship over you.

Tom felt depressed, it was all too much, all the sudden he realized he isn't condition to function this way, he'd always had Bill to share half the worry, angst, blame, or whatever with; but now he's utterly alone and perhaps forever too. A shiver ran along his spine as he pushed this thought to the back of his mind: this was no time for backing off.

…

George Listing and Gustav Schafer were probably the biggest pricks in the entire school. They hated the vast majority of people, they were assholes, and they had levels of hatred to different groups. At the very top stand gays and teachers.

Tom was very much their type of guy, if it wasn't for Bill he might've become their friend, sure he's not a prick, but he was cool even in their standards, and he can always learn the art of being an asshole. Before, they've always been aggressive with Bill, which made Tom despise them, but now: things are different.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

Gustav gave Tom a sly smile and offered him a lighted cigarette.

"Nice to see ya Kaulitz."

He nodded at him.

"Say, I heard that you've been having a fight with your sweetheart, is that true?"

Tom snorted as he inhaled deeply with a smile.

"You know I never get myself one sweetheart, I like 'em quick"

The two shorter boys shared a look and gazed back at the dreadlocked head.

"He means your brother dumbass."

For a second there Tom felt severely sick, has he been showing the attitude of a boyfriend with Bill?

"Why would you call him my sweetheart?"

Gustav smirked while Georg couldn't compress a laugh.

"Dude, you cuddle during lunch, you hold hands, and you tell each other 'I love you' every five seconds!"

Tom looked down…that might've been accurate to a certain extent.

"Well anyway, I hate him now, he lied to me, he chose friends over a brother, and he's gay!"

Gustav raised his eyebrow and looked at Georg.

"I knew it!"

"We seriously need to teach the faggot a lesson."

Tom took a last drag from the cigarette before putting it away.

"I'm in, he was my twin once, but now he's just an abomination."

…

"I'm trying to figure out whether to impale you, hang you, or just decapitate your ass…"

"Oh listen to you!"

Andreas shoved a piece of grilled chicken in his mouth and chewed on it, annoyed.

"Just because he'd turned into a dick doesn't mean you have the right to hit Tomi…I still love him you know."

Bill mumbled the last part and his voice broke suddenly, it took a lot of effort not to cry and Andreas noticed that. He moved over and hugged his friend.

"I'm sorry that you have to go through this, you don't deserve this happening to you…I wish this had gone differently."

Bill collapsed then and broke into silent tears, Andreas felt him shake and heard his quite whimpers but no one else did, which they both were thankful for. Attention is the last thing they needed. Meanwhile in the other side of the cafeteria Tom watched as Andreas cradled Bill and comforted him, anger surged through Tom's body. Why was he jealous? Why is Bill replacing him with Andreas? They didn't even look right! Bill and Andreas just looked awkward while he and Tom were one, but the most angering thing was the fact that Tom cared, why couldn't he let go of the faggot?

"Dude! I just got an awesome idea!"

Tom tore his eyes away from the two guys in the back and focused his attention on Georg.

…

Bill rushed through the stream of students to his locker, he smiled to Lindsey who was a very nice girl in his history class, then he looked at his locker to see a banner hung on it: Beware, this faggot is probably HIV+ Bill rolled his eyes as these remarks never truly hurt him, but as he opened his locker a flood of sex toys fell all over him, different kinds, sizes, shapes, and purposes, but they all serve one goal. It was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to him. He stood there as people stared, whispered, laughed, and texted about this. Bill was all but happy.

He ran to the cafeteria and didn't find him, so he went to where his locker is and found Tom with Georg and Gustav, feeling the anger surge through him, Bill grabbed Tom by the arm and shoved him in the boys' bathroom locking the door behind him.

"And I'm the one who doesn't keep promises huh? Remember the guy who once promised that he'll protect his baby brother from anything and anyone? The guy who told his twin that nothing will stand between them? The guy who used to be the center of his brother's life, the pillar of his strength and the person he loved more than anyone could love? Yeah, well, congratulations, you've successfully killed that guy and turned him into a complete asshole…now that guy is bullying his baby brother."

Now tears were streaming freely from Bill's eyes as he spoke with difficulty. He reached out and ripped a locket off his neck and threw it at Tom's feet.

"You know what? Fine, let's have it your way. This is a game two can play, and you think you're so great? But now I know who my real friend is, while Andreas was there for me all the time…you of all people…"

He couldn't continue, so instead he just spat a "have a nice life" at Tom and ran away, all the way to the garage and got in his car. Meanwhile Tom bent down in shock and picked up the locket, he opened it to see his picture, with the words "My second half" scribbled on the back.
