We Bloom in December

daily new chapters at midday ||| It wasn't supposed to happen. But it happened so naturally none of them could have even realized they were falling, they just did. All because of an email with a typo when they were young, which made them become pen pals in secret. Maybe it was the magic of never meeting in person, maybe it was the charm of the unknown, but they fell, and they fell hard through the years. But were they really strangers in real life as they believed while keeping their identities a secret? ||| It's a fast paced age gap romance, there will be smut, the initial stage of the story is focused on them being pen pals, each chapter is an email in the first part. So, they will be quick paced and short in the beginning, and when they meet in person it'll get longer. It won't be a long story, the romance when it happens physically, will be fast paced. English is not my first language. It's original by me.

Subject: Christmas

Merry Christmas, A.

I'm sorry, I'm out of it.

I'm a disaster, and I'm... not well.

It's not that I don't feel anything for you, because I think having a crush was inevitable, you've always sounded too good to be true to me, too perfect. Everything about you, was just too good. There was no way I wouldn't have a crush, that I wouldn't question myself if things could have happened between us had the circumstances been different.

But I can't have anything now. I can't have the luxury. It feels wrong to even consider anything when the one I loved the most ain't even here to give me her blessing anymore.

I'm sorry, but I don't think things can happen between us like this. Even if a part of me wants, I can't. I don't want to hurt you, so I prefer to not give you hope, it wouldn't be fair.

My maternal grandma passed away three weeks ago and my maternal grandpa passed away four months ago both to COVID, my paternal grandpa passed away seven months ago to COVID and my paternal grandma... my... My paternal grandma passed away five days ago to a lung cancer she only discovered three months ago in advanced stage and didn't even tell us anything, I had no idea and I... I should have held onto her better.

My 3rd and my 4th brother are in the hospital with COVID and breathing through machines, and both my parents are in the ICU also with COVID.

The only ones that are okay are my 1st and my 2nd brother, they had COVID but the types with no symptoms. All my four sisters-in-law are in the hospital with COVID too.

The worse part is that I've been alone in England this whole time, unable to reach them even for the funerals because the European country they are in has set a lockdown, so nobody can leave, nobody can enter. And I'm... fucking hell, I'm so scared.

I've never been so scared in my entire life.

I didn't do enough.

I didn't enjoy my grandparents enough.

I didn't enjoy my parents enough, they could die.

I didn't enjoy my siblings enough, they could die.

And I didn't get COVID.

I... I'm sorry, A.

If this had happened a year ago, maybe things would be different, but I can't have anything now. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I can't be so selfish, I can't be so mean, I can't do this, even if I regret it later, I'll regret it if I do it now.

You should try to find someone better than me.

Someone who will be totally available for you.

But I hope you know that you've been a light in my life for all those years. Right now, I need to be left in the darkness of my grieving, I'm sorry.

I hope you can forgive me.

I hope we can talk in the future, if there is one.
