THINGS BEGAN TO SHIFT IN THE CHURCH WHERE PAUL WORKED THAT BECAME REALLY CHALLENGE. Once Kevin, Joe, Nick, and Elisa started doing their own thing in music, there were people starting to speak about the boys' father in a negative way. Being the pastors sons; there was a perspective on them that they were supposed to be these squeaky clean, perfect kids. There was so much going on that their parents never told them; of course, in their minds, they were protecting their children just like any other parent would, but for them as kids, it was just scary. The dream that they were chasing freaked a lot of people out in the church: it was like their dream was totally a different lifestyle that they expected the pastor's sons to be in. The next thing that happened was that the church started a platform to get Paul removed.
The day that Paul resigned at Wyckoff was really devastating for him, but for the Jonas family as well; Paul couldn't even his resignation letter, but he wasn't the only one hurting. The brothers never forgot the day that their parents spoke to them which was basically like them saying that they were leaving the church, meaning that they were leaving the house, and Columbia's decided to not work with them anymore and to just... drop them. The boys were scared and worried, feeling like everything was crashing down and all their hard work at getting to live their dream was ruined; everything they knew for their lives gone, their community just... wasn't there for them, their community but one special person in their lives stuck by their side till the end, not once abandoning them. Elisa had begged her parents for the people that she considered family to stay with them since the house that she grew up had plenty of rooms and was basically big enough to fit like four or three families.
Growing up in the same house, it brought the four of them closer than they were before and since Columbia Records just basically dropped her best friends — her family out of nowhere, she knew that she couldn't stay with people who just... didn't believe in them cause to her, family was more important to her. It was the first night of the four of them growing up in the same house now and within her bedroom and laying down on her bed, the four best friends were chatting about her decision and of course, the boys didn't want her to give up her dream of a music career just for them.
"Eli, you don't have to stop working with Columbia because of us. They're still working with you," Kevin said, him and his brothers were trying to convince her not to go through with her decision, but she just didn't want to pick a career over her family.
"We'll be fine, Eli." Joe added.
Elisa shook her head, "Guys, I'm not gonna stay with people who don't believe in you. Especially not when I do believe in you guys,"
"We know you do, but you don't have to pick us over your career." Nick said.
