Prologue
Spencer Hastings never understood why her neighbor Mr. Montgomery stopped coming over every Thursday for dinner with her family. Her mommy told her that Mr. Montgomery was very sick and was staying in the hospital for a little while. She didn't know why he was gone away for so long. He must have been very sick since it had been almost twenty billion dinners since he visited the Hastings household. Spencer had never known anyone who had stayed in the hospital for more than a few weeks. Mr Montgomery was an old man who was grumpy about almost everything. Melissa said sometimes that Mr. Montgomery likes to eat children if he isn't fed so that is why her mommy and daddy always had Mr. Montgomery over. So that they wouldn't eat Spencer.
Spencer had just finished her piano lesson. She had only been learning a few classes and already didn't like the instrument but to be a Hastings it seemed like you needed to be able to play the piano. Spencer wanted to be like her family more , she didn't really fit in with her less developed manners. Her mother gave her instructor a look asking him to leave them alone.
"Spencer, honey we need to talk about something important." Spencer's mother chose her words carefully . She had seemed very sad about something since that morning.
"Alright mommy , was my piano bad? I promise to try more!" Spencer pleaded getting up from her chair. Wobbling slightly over to her mother who bent down to Spencer's level giving her a comforting smile like she gave Spencer after Spencer had fallen the week before.
"Sweetheart , you know how last year your friend Bethany's mom went to heaven after her bad car accident? Well last night Mr. Montgomery also went to heaven too. He was sleeping and he decided that he wanted to join Mrs. Montgomery. "
"Is he going to be gone forever like Bethany's mom and Mrs. Montgomery?"
"Yes he is sweetheart , but don't worry. He is probably happy to see Mrs. Montgomery again and his mom and dad. " Spencer's mom tried to ease her daughters feeling of sadness.
A few days later Spencer and her family were dressed in their nicest black clothes standing in front of Mr. Montgomery's front door. Some of his old family was staying in the house for a bit while Spencer's mommy worked out who was getting the house. Spencer wasn't allowed to go to the funeral or rake but her mommy told her how Mr. Montgomery has a nephew with a daughter Spencer's age that she met at the rake as well as a son who was two years younger than her. They were staying at the house with some other Montgomery's but from what Spencer overheard her parents were talking about her mommy said Byron Montgomery was getting the house for him and his family. Whoever Byron Montgomery was.
Spencer's mother knocked a couple of times before a man who looked a little younger than Spencer's parents.
"Veronica , Peter thank you for agreeing to come over for dinner. I know how it must be a little weird being here. Ella has some interior designer coming in to redesign the entire place before we move out here. I still can't believe he left everything to me. I know my sister wasn't a strong contender for anything but I thought she would at least get a little bit of something. Maybe the Maine house." The man shook Spencer's dad's hand.
"Well after getting to spend some time with you , Ella , and the kids I can understand why. You all are so charming. Great additions to the neighborhood." Spencer's mom gave the man a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much for coming. I hope you know how much Uncle Jim loved all of you. He used to tell me that he always had room for us if we ever wanted to leave our little two bedroom apartment."
The Hastings family walked into the house and immediately Spencer saw a short girl with big eyes and brown curls bounce up to the front door.
"Hi Veroica ! Hi Peter! Mommy said you were coming to see us before we went back to Austin!" The little girl seemed to draw her attention from Spencer's parents and back to Spencer making her smile grow even bigger and more infectious than it already was.
"Hi I'm Spencer." Spencer said quietly as the adults seemed to pause to watch the two girls interact.
"I'm Aria! I can already tell that we are going to be best friends forever!"
