Her parents' house is detached, so they didn't know if the neighbors were moving now or if these were the new neighbors already. A few days after, they got invited to meet the new neighbors. When Elena and her parents arrived at the house, they met a lady named Leah. She had two children, Bill and Tom. They were twins and played in a band. Bill was really sweet and nice. But when Elena and Tom met, they both felt that there was a special bond between them. This book contains much drama. Please know that this is all made up, and don't take example from this. I use things that probably didn't exist back then and things aren't the same as in real life, like songs, talents, stories and that sort of stuff. Btw this is my first book ever so sometimes it isn't very good, but I try to do my best as much as I can. I hope you like this book and enjoy reading!! XOXO thlvrrx:)Complete
