I did not know my gf was my sister...

the first time I met Sarah was at a college party I was helping myself to some fruit punch when she approached me I have no clue why she walked up to me I was this shy awkward kid who had barely even spoken to a girl before but then we started chatting and next thing I knew we were dating it felt so right being with her she was so kind and funny and I loved her it was towards our last year at college that I really started to think about marrying her now Sarah wasn't exactly the open type of girl she never told me about her past or about her family all I knew was that she grew up in Kansas like me and she went to college because that's what her mom wanted her to do and that was about it I didn't even meet her mom until our second year anniversary of course as soon as my own mom heard I managed to get a girlfriend she immediately called insisting we have dinner together we all had dinner together myself Sarah and my mom my dad had left the family long ago all I had of him was this old picture I was only six years old and he was holding me in his lap he always wore a suit and tie and his black hair was peppered with gray he looked so big and protective he held me so tight but my mom told me he had cheated on her and had left her to raise me as a single mother I always hated my dad for that Sarah and I lived happily together for a couple of years we had all the same interests painting hiking watching movies late at night but no matter how close we got I always felt she was holding something back every now and then I would slide in a question casually to try and pry at least a little bit of information from her where's your dad how come you never talk about your family but I would always get the same sly response I'll tell you another time she would tease I loved her so much so I learned to live with all the secrecy and then came that fateful night I had bought her a ring I was broke so I could only afford a small diamond ring but still I was going to propose there was no doubt in my mind I wanted to marry Sarah I planned on proposing to her at her house we normally had date night at hers since her mother never seemed to mind we ordered pizza put on a movie while the ring rested in the back pocket of my pants I was so nervous I couldn't even focus on the movie while cowboy strutted around and gunshot sounded I was imagining how I would get down on one knee would she say yes would she get mad at how ordinary it was I wasn't the romantic kind of guy surely she would appreciate the sentiment as these thoughts raced through my head Sarah leaned against me oblivious then the movie came to an end this was it this was my cue my hand fumbled in my back pocket and I was about to pull out the ring when Sarah spoke I want to tell you something she said nervously what is it I asked I was slightly annoyed by the interruption but I could tell this was serious it's about my father she said I felt my stomach jolt in the three years since we'd been together she had never mentioned her father before not a single word and now she was going to tell me something something important I focused all my attention onto her I know you want to know said Sarah and it's not fair that I kept this from you for so long but it's time I told you what I said curiously my father lapped us years ago my mom still doesn't really know who he was he just sort of came into her life then left as soon as I was born I remained silent for her this was a lot to share Sarah leaned over rummaging through a drawer in her desk she pulled out a photograph its edges rough with age this is the only picture I have of him it was taken on the day I was born she flipped the picture so I had a clearer view of her father and then you asked because in the photo holding a seemingly newborn Sarah was my father he had the same peppered black hair the same suit in time he looked younger than in the photo I had of him but there was no mistaking it this was my father which meant Sarah and I were siblings well half siblings but still this changed everything my girlfriend was my sister obviously I had not reacted as Sarah had expected me to I probably looked crazy as this realization struck me but I couldn't help it and this was a crazy discovery Sarah was my half-sister what did this mean should I tell her I immediately shrank away from the thought as I knew our relationship would never be the same if she found out but I had a duty to tell her this was life-changing but I loved her so much and I knew this would damage the love we shared all thoughts of proposing went out the window I had to think about this I gotta go home I told her abruptly oh okay she replied in surprise I hated the hurt look on her face but I had to get out of there my mind couldn't process it all at once I left her house quickly yelling a short goodbye the way I saw it there were two choices tell Sarah and ruin our relationship or keep my mouth shut and live a happy life with Sarah the latter was much more appealing but then I realized I was panicking over nothing Sarah didn't have to know why should she we never grew up together we met when we were in our 20s and fell in love who cared if we had the same father I walked back home with the decision sat in my mind I would keep this little secret to myself it was for the best a year passed and nothing came up about the incident Sarah never mentioned it and I gladly remained silent I wasn't ready to propose but we were doing good but then things got really bad I was studying one day when my mom called and asked me to meet her for lunch as soon as I saw her I could tell this was big news she hugged me and we sat down at a table what's wrong I asked her she seemed slightly agitated but then she spoke I've started dating someone I was shocked at first but then I smiled that's great mom it's time you met someone yes but it's someone you know she said mysteriously I found as I thought over who it could possibly be who your father I choked on my cup of water the panics seeping into me all over again he's coming to the house tonight she said we're all going to have dinner together what I shouted this was insane things couldn't get any worse my father who had been absent for most of my life was coming to meet me for dinner tonight and what did that mean for Sarah would I have to hide my girlfriend from him how could I possibly do that why are you with him I asked my mom well we started talking and it feels like the right thing to do she said but he cheated on you and left you on your own I said my mom nodded yes but I still love him I can't help it you can't do this I said angrily my mom found in her voice rose as she spoke I'll do what I like you're going to meet your father tonight and you are going to be civil she stood up from the table and walked out of the restaurant I had no choice I had to do what she said I was going to meet my father tonight whether I liked it or not later that evening my mom and I sat at home as we waited for my dad to arrive it was seven o'clock at night and he was due to arrive at any second my stomach was full of butterflies I didn't know how I felt about meeting my dad my thoughts were solely on Sarah I didn't know what this meant for us eventually the doorbell rang and we stepped up to greet my father my mom swung open the door only it wasn't my father it was Sara what are you doing here I burst out I left my jacket here replied Sara I just wanted to pick it up I hope you don't mind oh not at all said my mom oh this isn't a great time I said oh stop it Brad scolded my mom she pulled Sara in it's quite a special night Brad's father is coming to visit I felt anxiety rise up inside me if Sara saw my father and recognized him as her own everything would fall apart I needed to get Sara out of the house before he arrived uh can you come back another time I asked urgently nonsense said my mom I would love it if Sara Met Your father yeah I'd love to said Sara I could feel time slipping through my fingers and then dread course through my veins as the doorbell rang for a second time oh that must be him said my mom she sounded so nervous I felt the same but no wait I said but too late my mom opened the door and sure enough there he was that peppery black hair the suit-and-tie he stepped into our house and looked first to my mom than me then Sara wait whispers Sara I didn't look at her Brad she said he is your father yes he is replied my mom instead she looked confused why Sara gasped this can't be happening and what is it my mom asked still puzzled I turned to Sara she seemed to be having a panic attack Brad tell me what's happening said my mom we have the same dad I snapped I breathed heavily slightly relieved as the truth came out my father is Sara's father my mom raised a hand to her lips and surprised and my father similarly looked taken aback Sara paused for several seconds but then she darted out the door past her father past my father and disappeared out into the street I rushed after her ignoring my mom's pleased to stay inside finally I caught up to her and pulled her to the side Sara wait I said we are half-siblings she said in a dazed state I nodded yes but this doesn't have to mean anything she pulled her arm from my grasp you knew she said in disbelief I nodded reluctantly but this doesn't change us right we still love each other I don't know said Sara and hesitation fear shot through me oh come on Sara I said you don't mean that Brad she said we can't be together this isn't right no I cried who cares I do she said Brad I'm breaking up with you it has to be done I protested begging her to take it back to think about how much I loved her but she raised her hand no Brad she said firmly this is over wait I started but she caught me off I've made up my mind she said we're through without warning she bolted sprinting off into the distance I rushed after her but she had disappeared down an alleyway lost from sight that was it sara was gone fast forward to now five years later I've graduated college and I'm working as the manager of a sports equipment store after Sarah broke up with me I called and called her for weeks but she never picked up and just as quickly as she came into my life she left it seemingly without a trace my mom and dad tried dating for a while but it didn't work out and now he's back to doing whatever he was doing and my mom is at home home but I think that's probably for the best Sarah was my first love and she was my only sister when I look back on it now I always wonder what would have happened if Sarah had never shown me that picture and if my mom had never gotten back together with my dad what Sarah and I have stayed together would we have married every day I wonder what would have happened but I guess I'll never know thanks for watching if you enjoyed my story leave a like subscribe to this channel and check out
