Tom Kaulitz—"Your Ex"

You and Tom met through mutual friends. At first, it was just casual conversation and hanging out, but soon you started dating. However, calling your relationship healthy would have been a huge overstatement. Tom was insanely jealous. He couldn't stand it when other guys were around you—even his own friends. He didn't like the way you dressed sometimes, and the slightest thing could escalate into another argument. The last straw was a phone call in the middle of the night. Tom asked you to pick him up from the police station. When you arrived, the first thing you noticed was his bruised, bloody knuckles. Sitting next to him was your best childhood friend. Tom had beaten him up. Again. That day, you put an end to your four-month relationship. The only problem was something you had both overlooked: you shared the same circle of friends. Clubs, parties, cafes, the movies—wherever the group gathered, you inevitably ended up in the same place. You didn't speak. You didn't even look at each other. That’s how the four weeks following the breakup went by. One evening, Georg invited everyone over for drinks. Music filled the apartment, and laughter echoed through the rooms. You were sitting on the sofa next to Bill, laughing as he told a ridiculous story about something that had happened during one of their concerts. From the outside, it looked completely innocent—just two friends chatting. Then you felt it. A piercing gaze fixed on you. You looked across the room. Tom was sprawled in a large armchair, a beer bottle in his hand. He wasn't just looking at you; he was glaring. You knew that look all too well. Jealousy. Even four weeks after the breakup, he still looked at you as if you belonged to him. And the funniest part?

He was jealous even of his own brother.

What an idiot.
