Past and Present

Hello all! I know I have been unreliable with my story "Breathless," but the thing is, I'm just not interested in it anymore. This story however, is something that has been on my mind for a while now, but it's very different. There is no Edward/Bella, but Edward/OC. I'm not a big fan of Bella, so she isn't here, I might add her in for some climatic parts though.

I do not own Twilight, or the characters. They belong to Stephanie Meyer.

Summary: Emilia Grey, the golden child of the Grey Family, is a clever, imaginative girl, but very outgoing. Once she turns 15 however, things change. She starts to have odd dreams from another time, and who is this boy with unruly bronze hair and beautiful striking green eyes?

Emma POV

I looked at the boy next, the boy that has been with me through thick and thin, the boy I loved dearly. He looked so fragile lying there in his hospital bed. It seemed like it was only yesterday that the two of us were carefree teenagers, relishing in our new love; that was until it hit, the epidemic. First it took my parents, then his, until it made our way to us.

I stared at myself in the mirror by my bed, taking in my appearance one last time. He coughed in his sleep and I felt tears slide down my face. Sleep was closing in on me, but I tried to stay awake, fearing that this was the last time I would see my love. My eyes started to close, and I only caught a glimpse of his bright green eyes before darkness succumbed me. The green eyes of my heart, Edward Masen.

I woke with a start, clutching my fast beating heart. The dream had returned, the same one I've been having since my 15th birthday, 3 months ago. I looked at my clock and it read 5:01. I would have to get ready for school soon. My eyes traveled over to my mirror and I could see the pale-faced, black haired, grey-eyed girl from my dream, but it was also me. I knew that your most likely yourself in a dream, but my dreams feel different, like a memory long forgotten. A memory that should be forgotten. The heart-breaking feeling that I have to live through every time I woke up was mad. It felt as though someone took a knife and stabbed my heart until there was nothing left. I knew it was because of that boy, of Edward Masen, but I had no idea why.

My alarm clock went off and it knocked me from my thoughts. I sighed and started to get ready for school, pulling on my black jeans, My Chemical Romance t-shirt, and knee-high converse. I didn't do much with my hair, just straightened it and put my bangs over my left eye. I looked into the mirror again.

"Wheeling Park High school, here I come." I said before smiling to myself and heading off down the stairs to wish my mother goodbye, and grab a quick Pop-tart to eat.

My hometown wasn't the most fun of places. I live in Wheeling, West Virginia. I know, even the name sounds boring. Nothing ever cool happens here and I might be one of the only ones who can make this place lively.

I walked down the street to my bus stop. I wished more than anything that I had a car, but I couldn't afford it and there weren't any good jobs around here. I noticed my friend Allie leaning against the stop sign with a disapproving look on her face.

"Emma, you look like shit," she said annoyed, but the her toned softened, "You had another dream again didn't you?"

"Yeah, the same one. I don't think I've gotten peaceful rest in a while." I said.

Allie Harken has been my best friend since 6th grade. I trusted her with my heart and soul, and I knew she was the only one I could talk to when I had one of my dreams. Allie was the same height as myself, she has light brown hair falling a little bit below her shoulders, and bright icy-blue eyes. She was wearing a purple shirt with what looked like dead rodents on it, black jeans, and black converse.

"Maybe you should tell your parents, or go to the doctor." She said.

"You know I can't. One hint about any of this and my parents will ship me off to some home for disturbed teens." I said, while sitting on the curb.

"Well, what happened this time?" She asked.

"The same. Just Edward lying there dieing and me crying." I sighed.

"Maybe we should go to the library later and see if there is anything on Edward Masen." She muttered quietly.

"Allie, you're a genius!" I yelled, jumping up and hugging her.

The bus came after of few minutes and we piled on with the other kids who had shown up at the bus stop. Allie and I found a couple of seats in the back of the bus. Across from us sat the cruelest girl in our school, Rachel Jorden. She was blonde, busty, and beautiful, which of course would put her on the top of the popular list. She was also dating the quarter back of the Park football team, Sam Gardener. He was what most people would call, a total hotty. Muscular, blonde, and he had green eyes. Everyone says that it's his best feature, but his eyes are nothing compared to Edward's.

"If it isn't the emo bitches, Emma and Allie. Shouldn't you two be sitting in a gutter, cutting yourselves?" She asked with a smirk.

"Shouldn't you be fucking the P.E. teacher?" I asked with a grin. Earlier in the year I had found Mr. Ferthen and Rachel having sex in his office. I know, ew, right?

The look on her face was priceless, "Ugh, no! What…what are talking about? You know I have eyes for Sam only!" She said, gripping Sam's arm.

We got to school and Rachel gave me the glare of a thousand glares. She walked over to me and said, "I know what your playing at. I swear if you say anything else about Mr. Ferthen, I'll make your life a living hell."

The rest of the day was boring as usual. When the bell rang for lunch, I ran down to the music room. Ms. Carrey was waiting for me at the piano.

"Oh, hello Emma. You can get started. I have to go to the office for a moment." She said, giving me a sweet smile.

I nodded my head and she walked out of the room. I ran my hands over the keys of the piano. Last year, I had the sudden urge to play the piano, and I found that I was quite good at it. I sat down and music filled the room. I closed my eyes and sighed. I felt as though my spirit was soaring through the air, free from the burden of my life.

Out of no where my surroundings changed. I was sitting in what seemed like a parlor. I could hear a piano playing the most wonderful song I've ever heard and when I turned around there sat a boy. He had tousled bronze colored hair, and the way his hands moved across the keys was like magic. I had the sudden urge to cry because I knew it was him. The boy from my dreams, Edward Masen. I walked slowly forward, my arm outstretched. If only I could touch him; run my fingers through his silky hair.

"Emma?" I heard a voice and everything disappeared. I was back in the music room. He was gone.

Okay, well that was the first chapter. I'm sorry if it's short on here, but it's three pages on Microsoft word. If you want to know the song that I thought Edward should be playing is called "Passing By" by Yiruma. It is a beautiful song. R&R please ;) Chapter 2 should be coming shortly.
