Let's hope so, for the sake of all of us!!
Sim it sounds like you BOTH have some baggage to deal with... which is normal. Cut the girl some slack and tone down the intensity of your friendship with Sarah for a good while, enough to show that you honor and respect your gf's feelings. If your gf is as cool and self-aware as you say she is, eventually she will realize what an arse she was being, and will trust you more (at least, that's how I would feel) and you can get back to normal with Sarah.
I would think that just your gesture of wanting to make her happy, even if she's making an unreasonable request, should bring her back down to rational-reasoning level, eventually. And then from there, maybe she can meet Sarah, and the three of you can try to hang out together now and then.
