My Parents Used My Body To Keep Their Daughter Alive!

hi I'm Annie and I can't recall a single moment of my life without being with my sister my sister Emily has been sick since she was a child even though our family can afford a full-time caregiver for her I was the only one who took care of her you might be wondering why my sister could just drop down and die if I left her side while she has chronic kidney disease and severe anemia there requires constant blood donations and the only person she can get that blood from is me I'm surprised I've got any blood left to be honest and let's not get started on the number of times I've fainted but I never complained about it not once emily is my best friend and I would do anything for her but sometimes it was a bit weird because to put it bluntly she was my only friend I don't even know what it's like to have friends people thought that we were weird like that first time I took her to a support meeting I was holding her hand non-stop and when she stood up to introduce herself I stood up with her I heard someone whispering that we looked like a couple and the others started laughing after the meeting we went together to the toilet and the same people were watching us she's my sister alright I shouted when I looked at Emily I noticed she was crying my sister was very sensitive that night I hugged her and promised that I would never leave her side no matter what the next week at her meeting I left Emily to go to the bathroom for one minute but on my way back I got the fright of my life my sister had disappeared I started screaming her name everyone looked at me like I was insane but suddenly I saw her body lying on the floor in the next room was she dead Ben the guy in charge of the meeting was sitting with her he told me to relax and that she was okay he called an ambulance and said it was on the way it took us to the hospital and he came along Ben was very sweet actually he waited in the room with me and never left our side the doctors told me that my sister's blood pressure had dropped and that she can be released in a couple of hours Ben invited me for a cup of coffee while we waited he then asked me so what's the deal with this weird relationship that's going on with your sister I didn't feel like answering his question so I put my head down and tears started running down my cheeks then I felt his hand touched my chin he lifted my head up and dried my tears he said it was okay if I didn't want to discuss it and he just gave me a hug he cheered me up and we started chatting about random stuff he was actually very cute and before I realized it he was flirting with me and I kinda liked it I felt him leaning in like he was about to kiss me but then I heard a voice shout what do you think you're doing young lady ah it was my mom I was surprised that she remembered she had a sick daughter and came to check up on her I told Ben that I'll see him later to save myself the embarrassment and I went with my mom she seemed more upset about seeing me with a boy than the fact that her other daughter was in the hospital but I was used to it for some reason I wasn't allowed to date and my parents were very strict about it after that I thought about Ben the whole week and eventually I couldn't take it anymore I googled his name found his number on the chronic kidney disease Support website and texted him I had to do it when my sister was sleeping or otherwise she'd asked who I was texting I hid my phone under my pillow and waited for a reply I could barely contain my excitement when I heard my phone buzzing we started texting back and forth and he asked me if we could meet for a proper date I so badly wanted to say yes but I couldn't go without my sister but then he said he'd make a plan so at the next meeting there was a guest speaker and Ben asked me if I could help him prepare some tea and cookies for everyone my sister said she'd be okay and so that's how I found myself alone in a kitchen with Ben the moment we were alone he didn't wait and just leaned in and kiss me I felt like I was in a dream we started talking and I felt like I could open up to him I told him about my situation what my parents had taught me that sisters should be there for one another all the time and how that's the only way I know how to live Ben just looked at me and said but what about you when do you ever do anything for yourself but I couldn't reply I had never truly thought about myself before because thinking about myself felt selfish the following day I woke up to some bad news that shattered my world my sister was transferred to the hospital and the doctors told us that her kidneys were not responding to the medication anymore one had completely failed and if she didn't get a donor ASAP she will die i sat there holding her hand sobbing our parents on the other hand smiled calmly and said why we already have a donor and he will happily oblige and give her sister one of her kidneys want you dear they went on and asked how soon it could be done I was gobsmacked they didn't even ask me for all I knew they might have signed me up for a complete organ donation sure doc take my kidneys take my liver what else do you need my mom wasn't even looking at me she just asked what I needed to sign and when they could schedule us in but the doctors stopped them and turned to me and said Annie is this okay with you do you agree to this my mom butted in and said yep of course she agrees and then I just lost it for the first time in my life I stood up and shouted no I don't agree I don't agree at all you never ask me what I want then I stormed out of there shaking in a fit of tears my mom shouted after me that I was a selfish brat but I didn't care that was the first time I'd really left my sister and I almost turned back to get her but I wanted space actually I wanted to see Ben I called him and asked if we could meet I didn't even look back to see if my parents were coming after me I met Ben at a cafe and told him everything on the one hand I wanted to save my sister's life but on the other hand what about my life it felt like all I did was look after her Ben said he'd never come across any case like this before and that my parents weren't treating me right he said he felt suspicious about it all he started asking about how my parents treated me when I was a kid I told him that I thought they were like all other parents super strict and not particularly interested in me then I mentioned that they never even kept any photos of me that I'd looked but only found photos of my sister he said that something seemed wrong he's been working in this field for a while and he never encountered such a weird family he said he could look up my sister files and find out what was going on I asked if I could come with him because I didn't want to go home well I was in for a shock he looked up my sister on the records and then said something weird to me Annie your sister's file shows no sign of her having any other siblings it's like you don't exist on her records you're definitely related right I assured him we were but then he looked in my records and from the expressions on his face I knew something was wrong Annie it looks like it looks like you're not her biological sister you're adopted I couldn't believe it that had to be a mistake all I knew was my family I had no memory of being anywhere else or living with any other parents I felt like my world was crumbling around me he showed me my file and sure enough 17 years ago when I was a one-year-old I was adopted I wanted to puke how could my parents lie to me all these years Ben drove me home and as I walked up the path my mom came running out and asked where the heck I'd been and said my sister needed me I just waved my file in her face and said explain this she looked like she wanted to faint then the truth came out after she gave birth to my sister and realized she was sick they decided it was too dangerous to have any more children as both their genes meant their kids were at a higher risk of having a chronic condition so they decided to adopt a baby so their little girl wouldn't be all alone in the world because they were so rich and donated loads of money to the orphanage they were allowed to choose which baby they wanted their only request was that the baby has the blood type oh ah yes now the truth really came out they adopted me to save their precious little girl's life they've used me all these years and didn't care if I got sick from donating a kidney as long as their own flesh and blood daughter survived I couldn't bear to stand there another second I ran out in a rage and my sister sat crying on the sofa Ben said I could stay with him and we could even file a report about my parents I was so angry but all I could think about was my sister what if she died was I really the only suitable donor now that I'd had a taste of freedom I didn't want to go back to being with her 24/7 but the thought of life without her was unbearable I knew what I had to do but the following week I got a text from my mom saying your sister is about to die she won't accept you as a donor you are the most selfish person I know so I called the hospital and asked them to pretend I was an anonymous donor and try to get my sister to accept it that way they said she'd refused mine because she'd felt so guilty for everything I'd been through but maybe this anonymous one would work the surgery was set up for the next week but then a shocking event took place the hospital called and said that my sister's body was shutting down and that she needs the donation ASAP I hurried to the hospital my sister was already in the operating room unconscious they prepared me for the surgery and after a few hours it was done I asked the doctors to put me in a separate room because I didn't want her to know that it was me the surgery it left me very tired I don't know for how long I was sleeping before I opened my eyes and saw my sister in my room sitting in the hospital chair it was you wasn't it they told me it was an anonymous donor but I know you too well says I started crying immediately I've never been so happy to see my sister in my life the transplant was a success and I don't regret it for a second Ben and I have said to my sister she can stay with us whenever she wants and the best part I can finally go to college knowing that I saved my sister's life and of course now I never have to see those nasty people who raised me ever again
