Christmas Romance Teens & Young Adult

Once upon a corona time,

James a boy from Miami, Florida and a girl from Los Angeles, California called Emma were in love.

they were dating for more than 6 years now.

Before quarantine life started, they used to hang out and chill, both lived in New York City.

But the families lived in their respective cities.

James had a sister called Charlotte who was studying Oxford university which is located in the United Kingdom also known as Great Britain .They could only communicate via video chat or voice calls which is actually very sad.

Then, one day they got to know that there is a virus called Corona spreading across the world.

Gradually, the epidemic spread widely and got converted into a pandemic.

Most of the people not only in the U.S.A, but throughout the world started resorting to quarantine life and social distancing. Slowly the relationship between James and Emma they were bounded by covid-19 restrictions. Their respective families did not know about this relation.

Eventually, the festive season of Christmas approached. Since the parents of both lovebirds were friends and business partners they were fully attached every year both the families used to spend Christmas and new year  together since covid-19 kept everyone stuck so both the families decided to pass Christmas together but apart via video call (not promoting any type of application or website).

Both the lovebirds during the video call acted very maturely and did not give any signs to their respective families. But James’ mother already suspected that Emma and James were hiding something, but she was not aware that they were in love. (Attention: reader by typing love I mean love and not lust)

James was a 17 year-old and Emma was a 20 year old girl who was currently practicing medicine and she wanted to be a pediatrician, due to covid-19 she was studying online and she would not get free time for herself the whole day she would be doing assignments. She thought that she could take care of children very patiently. James and Emma wanted to get married as soon as it was possible.

(So James was already resting assured that who would take care of the children was Emma).

Then suddenly one day in the darkness of covid-19 a ray of hope/light was found. The world health organization also known as WHO announced that the covid-19 vaccines were being distributed starting from Asia and Europe, and it would reach America in three months and would be firstly distributed to doctors and medicine students and their respective families. After that announcement the whole world was full of joy.

Then gradually valentine`s day approached so James wanted to do something special for Emma, so James video called Emma and asked if she wanted to go out on a date, but suddenly covid-19 was spreading very quickly so James and Emma decided to postpone the date.

They were so excited but could not get together. The president of the U.S.A then declared a lockdown for one months and two weeks (forty four days total). So James and Emma's relationship was getting slowly ripen apart.

After one month and three days (thirty three days total) it was James’s birthday during the lockdown but somehow Emma managed to get to James’s apartment and both of them celebrated together. Now that James was 18 he could drink alcohol and that is what he wanted since the day he turned 12 and also at that time James and Emma were in love so just imagine how deep their love is.

(Alcohol consumption is harmful to your health).

On the same day both James and Emma drank red wine together. Then they got to know that from tomorrow vaccines will start to be administered to doctors, medical students and their respective families. The lockdown was going to finish after eleven days.

Every person in America was overwhelmed with joy they thought that their lives were going back to normal which was the truth. And along with the lockdown, corona was going to finish which meant that international flights would resume. Many people started to make plans for a family holiday, some were going to India, others to the U.K and others also to South Africa and Australia. While others thought that the covid-19 vaccine had some side effects.

But Emma knew that the corona vaccine would change everyone`s lives and from that vaccine they would manufacture a vaccine for HIV/AIDS as well. The lockdown ended and most of the people started wandering around, now that using a mask was not mandatory. But Emma and James moved in together so that they could save some money for a trip to Cuba. Gradually after 4 months of stress both of them could have a relaxing trip on the best beach in the world which is in Cuba. They got married in the church in Christian way and after 3 years they got legally married. Emma already graduated and started working as a pediatrician.

Suddenly one day James’s mother called him via video call and told him that James`s father died and James got to know that his father had left him a fortune.

Emma and James went to visit James`s family but Charlotte could not make it.

Using the fortune that James’s father had left him James opened a chain of restaurants which became quite famous and made James a very successful man.

Of course James and Emma could not visit their families every month, only 3 times per year so luckily they would talk to their families via video chat and voice call.

After some time James and Emma had 3 children: 2 boys and 1 girl.

James and Emma lived in a luxurious way for the rest of their lives with their children.

Then James and Emma could lead a very happy life together.

The end

It's a feel good story with a happy ending, which I enjoy in stories. You can improve upon the narration of the story a little - there is some grammar that can be corrected. You can also refrain from stating some obvious facts such as alcohol consumption is injurious to health, or that a 30 days is a month, unless it has a direct link to the story :) I wanted to see more on the impact of the video calls that James and Emma had with their families - how did the families react to their marriage, or how did the parents introduce themselve...
