Hun, I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. This experience sounds horrendous. First, you meet someone who seems to be really nice, if a little too good to be true, then you find that he has messed you around, treated you badly, lied to you, and on top of everything else has tried to make you look small in front of your sister, as I think it sounds as if this Lewis guy could in fact be the guy you've been seeing, trying to stir things. This has now affected your relationship with her.
You have been through a lot in a short space of time and will need time to process these emotions. What you are feeling right now is a normal response to an unusual situation. If you read the Seven Stages of Grief after the End of a Relationship at the top of this page, it will give you some idea of which stage you're at, and help you to understand all the emotions you're now feeling.
It might be worth writing to your sister, telling her you don't know anyone called Lewis, and explaining what your ex has done, telling her that this has really upset you.
Hun, you mention that other things have happened to you in your past. Sometimes a painful event in the present can bring back all the old painful feelings from the past, if they haven't been worked through or resolvved. Would it be possible for you to have counselling, perhaps via your school or college? This would help you to talk things over, be heard, and to make sense of the emotions that you're feeling.
I'm concerned about the title of your post hun. Have you said this figuratively as an expression of speech or do you really feel very bad? If so, you need to seek help, and to see your doctor as there is a lot he/she can do to help you. Please do this if you feel really bad.
Hun, in time you will look at this experience as part of a learning curve, as the intensity of the emotions goes. However, today you feel pretty bad, and you will need to allow yourself time to grieve, and talk about your feelings with a counsellor if need be.
