INSEPARABLE; THAT'S WHAT KEVIN, JOE, NICK, AND ELISA WERE SINCE THE DAY THEY MET. Meeting the brothers have really changed Elisa for the better as the four children became really close with each other as they enjoyed doing everything together. At school or even after school, they were always seen hanging out together, laughing and running around the neighborhood.

Then, it became a crazy season where their interests kept popping up opportunities for them; Nick, Joe, and Elisa were on Broadway while Kevin was doing commercials. One time while Ricky was bringing Nick and Elisa back home after their Broadway show that day, the two kids decided to try and write music for fun. During the car ride home, they wrote out the lyrics and once they got home, they properly wrote two songs for fun that called "Joy To The World: A Christmas Prayer" and "Who I Am," and somehow, the two CDs suddenly ends up with Sony where the head of the company immediately wanted to meet the two kids.

Nick and Elisa were so excited about the news while Joe and Kevin were thinking, 'Wow. They're actually doing it.' The next thing that happened was that the four of them started writing music together and of course, they weren't the best writers at the time — they were being kids. But then, they wrote a song called "Please Be Mine" and just by that — Elisa knew that her best friends could turn it into something. So, Elisa and Nick wanted Joe and Kevin to meet the head of Sony and that's what happened — bam! The Jonas Brothers and Elisa's music career were born!

Everything seemed perfect till something happened. Nick started changing; he was becoming more agitated and every time they were on the road, he'd demand that they stop and get pizza and Diet Coke, saying that he needed it. Elisa, Joe, and Kevin instantly got worried since Nick always got this massive "Big Gulp" and every fifteen minutes, they had to stop at the side of the road where Nick would run into the forest and come back to the minivan.

One day, while they were on tour and stopped at their hotel, Elisa and the boys were in their hotel room. She was in her room when Nick suddenly rushed into the room with Joe and Kevin following, the three of them were clearly scared and it instantly made Elisa worried and scared. Kevin told her that him and Joe can see Nick's bones and when she saw it for herself, that's when she knew something was wrong. Joe and Kevin called told the parents what was happening, freaking out at the same time while Elisa held a scared Nick in her arms, comforting him.

They took Nick to the doctor who immediately told them to go to the hospital after Nick told him his signs. Elisa had begged her parents with worry in her green eyes to let her go and the minute they arrived, Elisa ran straight into the building and over to where her best friends were, the four of them hugging as they tried not to be scared.

They waited in the waiting room and soon, Nick had to use the bathroom. A few minutes later, Elisa went to find him and what she saw broke her heart. She found him on the floor in the hallway of the bathroom with his head in his knees, crying his eyes out. She ran over to him, pulling Nick into a hug and he threw himself into her, crying his heart out.

"I'm here, Nicky," Elisa whispered, hugging the poor kid and rubbing his back.

"I'm terrified, Eli. What if I'm dying?" Nick asked through his sobs.

Hearing that made tears filled her green eyes. She didn't want it to be true, but no one knew how to think. She bit her lip, feeling her bottom lip start to quiver as she heard the door opened, hearing footsteps walk towards them and arms were then wrapped around both of them, giving it away that it was Joe and Kevin. The four of them sat there, hugging each other as they tried to comfort Nick with tears in their eyes.

"Guys?" They all looked up to see Elisa's older brother, Luke walk over with a sad smile on his face, "The doctor is ready for you," he told them — well, Nick.

Nick tensed at that sentence and choked back a sob, Elisa held him closer in her arms. "It'd be okay, Nicky, we won't leave your side," Elisa promised.

The four of them released the hug and Luke helped them stand up onto their feet, Nick's sobs turned into hiccups while tears and worry were clearly seen in Joe's, Kevin's and Elisa's eyes. They followed Luke back to the waiting room where everyone was with the doctor.

The doctor introduced himself and Elisa felt Nick shake in fear, hiding behind his brothers and Elisa. Nick didn't budge from his spot from where he stood with his brothers and Elisa when he was told to follow the doctor. He looked at Kevin, Joe, and Elisa, his eyes scared and hoping that they'd keep their promise.

"It'd be okay, Nicholas. The faster we get the tests done, the faster I can help you get better." The doctor reassured him.

Nick shook his head and pointed to his brothers and Elisa. "Not without them," he said.

The doctor let them come, knowing that it was the only way to get Nick to follow him. Elisa took Nick's hand, letting him know that she was keeping her promise, and she glanced at her parents to see if they were okay with this. Rosalina and Ricky nodded and Joe, Elisa, Kevin went with Nick, following the doctor.

Nick did his best to keep himself tough while the doctor and the nurses ran the tests. Elisa, Joe, and Kevin stood by Nick's side the whole time and Elisa kept holding Nick's hand for comfort as she softly squeezed it assuringly.

When the tests were done, the doctor glanced at the four kids who were all hugging each other and knew he had to tell them the news. So, the doctor gently told them that Nick had a disease known as Type 1 Diabetes but being kids with music careers, they weren't that educated and had no idea what it was. So, Nick could only ask the question that's been on his mind since he first entered the hospital.

The question that scared all of them badly.

"Am I going to die?"

Present

"When, um, the doctor told us that Nick had diabetes, we were all confused. Nick asked if he was gonna die and Joe passed out in the hospital after seeing Nick hooked up to all of these tubes and wires. Kevin felt like he failed to protect Nick, and I, uh, I felt like crying nonstop cause well, he's my best friend and I was afraid of losing him." Elisa said, sitting on the black couch with the camera recording her as the memory replayed in her head. "We were all worried and pretty soon, me, Joe, and Kevin were crying nonstop since we were scared and worried for Nick, we just had no idea what it was."
