This is my submission for the Literotica Halloween contest! It's a love story between a guy and a girl who grew up as neighbors and were always been attached at the hip. Although they see each other, almost as siblings, there is absolutely zero incest in this story! The two main characters are not related in any way!

There is a long backstory but the actual event takes place during a Halloween party and on Halloween. Also, though the backstory involves the characters when they were younger, there is absolutely no sexual acts taken until the characters turn eighteen.

I hope you enjoy the story, and I thank you for taking time to read it!

The Costume that Revealed it All

"Jacob! Jacob! Jacob! Jacob! Jacob..."

For as long as I could remember... that was all I ever heard... Various voices, calling out my name, because they wanted something from me. It was never about what I wanted for myself; it was always what they needed from me.

The voices... the various voices... My dad, my mom, my aunts, my uncles, my grandparents, my mom's friend... and most annoyingly... my little sister...

Well... Sophia wasn't actually my sister... but it always felt that way... She was my neighbor, and our moms were best friends. For as long as I could remember, they were always at our house. It was just the two of them, so they also celebrated all of the holidays with us. She truly did feel like a little sister to me, though we were only one year apart in age, and not related by blood.

I suppose I was like any other adolescent boy growing up. I had my group of friends, who I liked getting into trouble with. We had our fun together, but in truth, we were just trying to outdo one another, by being the most unruly or dangerous.

That's how boys get popular when they're younger. We liked to act goofy, and sometimes even stupid. These were definitely things the girls didn't understand, but as a young boy, I needed to make my mark.

Being that rambunctious would prove difficult however, with Sophia always around. "Take your little sister with you," my mom would say, every time I asked her if I could go outside with the boys. "I'm sure she would like hanging out with you and your friends too!"

Of course, at that young age, bringing a girl around, only kept me further from the recognition I really wanted. It's not like I did dangerous stuff with Sophia around. She was sure to tell my mom, if I did anything that I wasn't supposed to do.

That's kind of how she was... Annoying... boring... and just always there... She was like a piece of tape stuck to my shoe. I just couldn't get rid of her, no matter how hard I tried!

Sure, there was a time when I really enjoyed having a sister. One of my fondest memories was playing peekaboo with her when I was five and she was four. She would burst out laughing every time I popped out my face. Nothing brought me more joy, than seeing her so genuinely happy.

That all changed, the older I got... and I started to prioritize my other friends, more than her...

It's not like she even had fun with me, but anytime she heard I was going out, she'd ask, "Can I come, Jacob?"

Of course, I'd say no, but then she'd tell my parents, and I'd hear, "Just take your sister, Jacob!"

Not only was I forced to bring her, but the other kids would pick on her as well. It was one thing for them to make fun of me, but I could only imagine how much trouble I'd get in, if my parents found out she wasn't being treated well. So, of course, I had to defend her, and tell them to stop making fun of her.

Fortunately, they rarely joked about her when she was actually there. However, whenever I was lucky enough to show up without her, they'd ask me why I'd always bring her around, and complain that I was much less fun with her. How could I be any fun, knowing she would tattle on me if I did anything wrong?

Unfortunately, the older I got the more severe the teasing became on my end. They'd make fun of me, for being stuck with an annoying little sister. Even worse, they'd refer to her as... as my... as my girlfriend...

I swear, nothing pissed me off more, than hearing that annoying little girl, being referred to as my girlfriend! Even when I was too young to know what I found attractive in girls, I knew she definitely didn't have any of the qualities I would want.

What made things worse, was that our moms would even joke about us getting married someday. It was like their dream, so they could truly become the sisters they always wanted to be. The only problem was, I wanted nothing to do with Sophia. Even viewing her as a little sister, was annoying to me. There was no way in hell I would ever find her attractive.

It made sense that some actually thought we were siblings. We both had really dark hair and brown eyes. And with me not being the tallest guy in the world, it made sense that my sister would be so petite and short, standing barely above five feet.

What I didn't understand, was how people could think we were anything more than neighbors. Not only was Sophia annoying, by always being around, but she wasn't even my type. Her face was sort of pimply, and she wore big, nerdy glasses. On top of that, she dressed weird, wearing pretty baggy clothing, and her hair was barely long enough to put into a ponytail. Honestly, there was nothing sexy, or even feminine, about her in my mind.

Perhaps the best year of my life was when I first got to high school. It was the first time in forever, that Sophia and I weren't going to the same school. It was a breath of fresh air. I had a chance to be on my own, and she had to figure out how to navigate life, without me.

In that year, I accomplished more than I ever could have dreamed of. I joined the soccer team, and I made plenty of friends, who knew nothing about her. I even became acquainted with a bunch of prettier girls, much more my type. I didn't go out with any of them; but, I was just relieved to be around girls I actually found attractive.

Unfortunately, I would never be able to fully get rid of Sophia. She and her mom were still at our house, every weekend. And when I had my freshman soccer games, they were sitting in the stands, with my parents. I could hear Sophia's voice cheering me on as I ran down the field. She was so annoying that everyone made fun of me, for having my own personal cheerleader, despite not being one of the better players on the team.

I remember one day so vividly. During the ride home, I was in the back of the van with her. I was already pissed off, after losing the game, and getting subbed out at halftime. Having to sit next to her after the game, only made matters worse.

"You know, you don't have to cheer for me that loudly," I whispered to her, while the adults were talking amongst themselves. "It's kind of embarrassing, especially when I'm with my team."

She looked over at me and shrugged her shoulders. "I thought I was supposed to cheer for you. That's why we came in the first place."

"Yeah, but you made me look bad in front of my friends."

"How did I make you look bad?"

"I couldn't concentrate, when your voice was all I could hear," I expressed, still fuming at my own poor performance. "We lost because I played terribly, and that's only because you came."

She stared at me for a few seconds, not convinced one bit about my theory. "You lost because the other team scored more goals. That's the point of the game."

"Oh, shut up," I said, rolling my eyes. "You don't have to come to my games at all, you know?"

"I do, actually... My mom makes me... But aside from that, I like coming to cheer you on. I'll try to be more quiet next time, if that'll make you happy."

To her credit, she never did cheer for me that loudly again. However, she was always up in the stands, making my friends wonder who she was. I wanted to tell them she was just my annoying little sister. However, I figured they would quickly realize we weren't blood-related, once she came to my school the next year they saw our last names.

I told them she was my neighbor, and eventually, the jokes came rushing back. We weren't even at the same school, so my friends didn't see us together all the time, and yet, everyone was still calling her my girlfriend.

Unfortunately, with her still in middle school, I grew all too comfortable putting her down, to disassociate myself from her. She wasn't there to hear my insults, anyway, so it became all too easy for me to tell my friends that I didn't find her attractive at all.

"She's just a nerdy little girl, that my mom wants me to keep an eye on," I would tell them, defending myself, when my friends asked about her. "I couldn't be with someone as dorky as her!"

Unfortunately, as much as I did resent being around her, what I said about my parents expecting me to watch her, was true. When my friends would try to be creepy about her, it was my responsibility to make sure she was safe.

"Well, I think she's kind of cute," I remember one of my friends saying, just after I had finished putting her down. "If you're not dating her, then can I date her?"

"Oh, trust me; you wouldn't want to date her!" I'd explain. "She's nerdy, and really, really, boring. I can't even remember having fun with her once!"

They all laughed at me, for some reason, but I was just trying to help them out! Anyway, they would have never been a good fit for her, because I didn't want her dating anyone who was a high schooler, while she was only in middle school.

Unfortunately, the day would finally come when she, indeed, followed me to my high school. It's not like she had a choice or anything. She was always going to be in my life. It just always felt that way, from the very beginning.

As much as I had tried to separate myself from her, our mothers just wouldn't let it happen. Now, even more than ever, they wanted me to be protective of her, and keep her by my side while we went to high school.

At first, my disdain for her was worse than ever. However, I clearly remember the day when things started to change.

Like always, Sophia had been an annoying thorn in my side. She followed me everywhere I went, and even tried to eat lunch with me. I begged her to make her own friends, but either she was too unsocial to do it, or she was just completely uninterested.

One day, as she sat quietly with me at lunch, while I tried to talk to my friends, our relationship was once again brought up. The guys started making fun of me, for acting differently now that Sophia was around. One of them even mentioned, "I guess you don't want to get in trouble with your girlfriend."

Years of frustration that had been building up, finally reached their limit. Without even thinking about it, I reemphasized what I had told them, several times, in the past when she wasn't sitting there.

"Sophia is not my girlfriend!" I reacted, causing everyone to stare at me, as I lost my temper. "I told you this a million times, I would never go out with her!"

Immediately, we were surrounded by an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were locked onto us; as Sophia and I were now staring at each other. Though, she didn't cry, I could tell, by her soft eyes, that I had truly hurt her feelings. I was sure that she was aware I didn't have any romantic interest in her, but no one that age is prepared to hear it so directly.

Finally, with her low voice, she reacted, "I should probably leave you alone..."

"No, wait!" I replied as she got up and walked away. Seeing her leave so quickly, I tried to apologize before she left. "I didn't mean to say that in front of you!" However, before I knew it, she was already gone.

Not only did I create a scene; but, I now had to face the embarrassment of my friends laughing at me. They could tell by the way we both reacted, that this was an ongoing issue. And even though I had explained my feelings to them in the past, it was much different now that they had a face and a personality to attach to Sophia.

"Why exactly, do you not like her again?" my friends asked, pounding me with questions. "She seems pretty nice, and also kind of cute. Why do you dislike her so much?"

"I guess she is kind of cute," I responded, giving her a compliment for the first time in my life. "But she's not my type. She's way too dorky for me, and she's actually really annoying."

"What do you mean by dorky?"

"You know..." I started, growing red as I pictured the perfect girl in my mind. "I'm only interested in girls I might be with forever. I've always pictured my wife being sexy, with long and luscious hair. I'd also want her to have big boobs and a nice ass! Oh, and I'd love thick thighs too!"

The expressions on my friend's faces changed, but I thought it was only from my lewd explanation. However, the more I thought about my ideal girl, the more I became lost in my own thoughts.

"Sophia's too short and skinny... And I don't really like the way she dresses. I also don't like glasses or pimples... And if I'm being completely honest, I don't think I'll ever be able to see her as anything but my annoying little sister..."

Once I was done spewing off my rant, I realized that their eyes weren't on me, but were staring at something beside me. Unfortunately, when I turned my head, I noticed Sophia was standing there, with her jaw practically on the floor. She had caught everything I said about my dream woman. More importantly, she had heard how I disparaged her, to describe this hypothetical person.

"Sophia..." I called, now even more embarrassed.

She looked at me and quickly shook her head to fight off whatever emotions she was experiencing. "I just forgot my bag..."

Once again, my friends laughed, as they witnessed me trying to explain myself to the undesired woman. However, I eventually just let her go again, because I knew that I had already put my foot in my mouth, and there was no way of fixing what I did.

That evening, we walked home together, just like we did to and from school every day. Though I had never put any thought into how much I actually cared about her, I couldn't handle seeing her so silent. She was pretty quiet to begin with, but now, I could only imagine what was going through her mind, after hearing me say all those rude things about her.

After getting about halfway home, I came to a complete stop so I could finally be honest, with not only her, but myself. "I'm really sorry if I said anything that hurt your feelings," I told her, feeling ashamed of myself. "I was just... trying to be cool in front of my friends... and I didn't take your feelings into consideration."

Once again, an awkward silence surrounded us and she stared at me with a blank look. Eventually, she cracked a smile, causing my heart to jump, before responding, "That's okay, Jacob."

My eyebrows raised, as I was overtaken by confusion. "Wait, really? You're not mad at me?"

"Maybe a little," she answered, shrugging her little shoulders. "But... I get it..."

"Thanks for understanding," I said, blowing a sigh of relief.

Then, to my surprise, she wrapped her hands around my arm and walked the rest of the way home, attached to me.

I cringed at the way she held on to me, and I'm pretty sure my arm was shaking the entire time. However, despite how uncomfortable it made me, to walk arm in arm with her, I didn't feel I had the right to reject her, after what I had put her through.

Things sort of changed after that day. It was almost as if Sophia had a different personality all together. She hardly bothered me as much as she used to, and wouldn't force the issue, whenever I didn't want her around. She was also quieter than normal, much more so than she used to be. Even so, when no one was around, she enjoyed holding onto my arm when we walked together.

Oddly enough, she started to feel more like a little sister than ever. Though I didn't really want to be seen hanging out with her, I really didn't mind spending time together, privately. It was a bit awkward, since we didn't really have much in common. However, we could at least study and eat together, whenever one of our moms was visiting.

Sophia eventually took my advice, and attempted to make some friends of her own. Unfortunately, with her being so nerdy and quiet, it didn't go over as smoothly as either of us would have hoped for. She at least found some others she could sit with during lunch, but she still found herself asking if she could sit with me, from time to time.

To my dismay, one of the guys from the table actually started talking to her privately. We were older then, and I had wondered why I was even friends with them in the first place. I was getting tired of fighting for their approval, when I didn't feel like I had much to gain from them anymore.

That's when something happened to Sophia. I noticed she didn't sit with me at lunch that day, and neither did the guy who started talking to her without my knowledge. I ran into her in the hallway, between my final two classes. She was crying at her locker... and for the first time in my life... I felt completely helpless...

"Are you crying, Sophia?" I asked, rushing up to her.

She kept her face hidden in her locker, pretending she was looking for a book. "No... I'm okay..."

"You

are

crying!" I said, not even knowing why I would ask her, when it was so obvious. I gently grabbed her by the hand, and attempted to get her to look at me, before asking, "What happened?"

It actually took a lot of convincing, but she finally admitted that she had been talking to my friend. Apparently, he asked her if he could grope her, and when she refused, he told her, "You might as well let me do it, because a girl like you won't have many guys to choose from unless you're experienced."

I became enraged at the idea of someone treating her so disrespectfully. Of course, I had done my own damage to her, but seeing that my friends were following in my footsteps, made me furious.

In a way, I blamed myself. I was the one that put Sophia down in the first place. Those who heard the bullshit I had spoken, were now encouraged to use it to their advantage.

Perhaps it was myself, that I really wanted to punish; but in a fit of rage, I confronted that former friend of mine after school. Unfortunately for me, he was with the rest of our group of friends, and just as I had come to expect, they took his side and believed whatever he said.

I was the angry fool in that situation who started the physical altercation. I ended up getting my ass kicked by all of them, which was unnecessary, because I'm sure he didn't need any help, to beat me up. However, as I lay there on the ground, getting stomped by those who I thought were my friends, I at least had the chance to think about my priorities... despite the excruciating pain.

I ended up staying there on the ground, bloodied and bruised, while continuing to think about what an awful person I had become. In truth, I knew I deserved the beat down that I had received. I didn't even care to seek retribution for what they had done to me.

All I could see was darkness. It was the darkness I had created, with my own cloud of despair. However, as I lay there, lost my own thoughts, a voice shot through the clouds and quickly brought me back to Earth.

"Jacob! Jacob!"

Suddenly, as I looked up, I noticed Sophia on her knees, with tears in her eyes. Although she was sad, I could see the light shining from behind her, erasing the darkness in my heart. The rays from the sun rested on her skin, making her glow before me. I could no longer feel pain, as I found myself staring at the crying girl, wide-eyed, for the first time.

"It's all my fault!" she said, as she covered her face with her delicate hands. "I'm the reason you got hurt!"

Removing her hands from her face, so she could look me in the eye, I smiled at her and assured, "None of this is your fault."
