You were My Happy Ending

Chapter 7

Shock...shock was written all over my face.

"What do you mean by, baby bro?" I asked

"Oh didn't dad tell you, we are related. I am Toga by the way." She said

"I don't have a dad." I said bluntly

"Why?" She asked in a mocking tone

"Just because, he died when I was young. I don't have a sister." I said

"Why did your facial expression change? Do you find me intimidating? All I want is for you to acknowledge me." She said looking a bit hurt

"I don't want to acknowledge you though, dad hurt my mom a lot. We can't be hurt again, we already ran away from him. I don't care if we are brother and sister but don't tell dad about me." I said

"And you think I will, I won't ruin the relationship I am going to build with you." She said with what sounded like sincerity.

"I want to get to know you as well, but I have to trust you. I'm just scared of being dragged back to dad." I said and she hugged me

"I don't know what you went through, but I know from the looks of it, dad had hurt you and your mother. He wasn't the best to us either, he cheated on my mom after I was born. I was young to even understand why my mom looked so depressed, but then I found out why. Dad was having a long-time affair and the worse part none of us knew. We as his children were brought into unnecessary drama. I wanted to know, who you were. I saw your pictures before on his phone and then my teacher asked if I knew about you and our relationship. Dad has a good job, he is trying for us, and mom is becoming happy again. I know you see me with all these brands, but this is dad's way of saying sorry." She explained

"I waited for him, for years. My mom had to think of so many lies to tell the younger me until mom sat me down and told me we are no longer going to live with dad. He hurt her so much...so much and he hurt me too. I know he is becoming good, but he is becoming good for you and your mom. He is becoming good for the first family he betrayed and he is doing this now because he has the chance to forget about his mistakes. His past mistakes were us, me and my mother, I won't forgive him. He left me when I needed him the most, so I will act as if doesn't exist because it is fair...right?" I said

I didn't even notice the tears rolling down my cheeks until she dried them. I felt her warm hands against my cheeks

"It is fair, It was always fair and I am sorry that you had to go through a lot of things. I won't tell dad about you, but there isn't a day he regrets what he's done. He wears a gold locket around his neck and it is a picture of you and me. Every time he opens it, his facial expression change. I am not making excuses for him, I have no idea what he's done. I just want us to build a good sister bond." She replied

"Is this a prank?" I asked

"No, it is not." She answered

"And you will protect me as you said?" I questioned

"With my life. I will love you the way you wanted. I will be the best sister you've ever wanted." She said with a soft smile on her face.

I nodded my head agreeing with her as she wiped the rest of my tears.
