While everyone else was eating supper, Jude refused to come out of his bedroom.

"Is Daddy okay?" June asked.

"Oh darlin', if we all knew how your Daddy felt right about now we'd help him." Sadie said quietly.

"He just can't go days without eating, Sadie. He'll kill himself this way." Max said in a straightforward tone.

"We gotta let him grieve, Max. He's still learning how to deal with being a father and losing the love of his life." JoJo stated.

"I'm not gonna watch him kill himself!" Max argued.

Max grabbed another plate of food and got up from the table, June looked unsure and frightened by her Uncle's outburst. Sadie smiled and drew a strand of June's hair behind her ear. Max entered Jude's room and laid a plate down for him on his dresser, Jude was sitting in a chair and gazing out the window.

"Jude, you gotta eat. You just got out of the hospital, and you're still recovering. So please...Eat something." Max pleaded.

"I'm not hungry, Max." Jude said quietly.

"Jude, please..."

"SHOVE IT, MAX!" Jude yelled.

Max was taken back by this, Jude stood to his feet.

Since she's been gone I want no one to talk to me.
It's not the same but I'm to blame, it's plain to see.
So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I can't believe that she would leave me on my own.

It's just not right when every night I'm all alone.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.
I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.

But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.
I've got no time for you right now, don't bother me.

I know I'll never be the same if I don't get her back again.
Because I know she'll always be the only girl for me.
But 'till she's here please don't come near, just stay away.
I'll let you know when she's come home. Until that day,
Don't come around, leave me alone, don't bother me.

Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.
Don't bother me.

After Jude's little rant, Max became fed up and left the room and headed for his own. Why couldn't Jude see that he wasn't the only one that was hurting? Everyone around him was! Lucy was dead and she wasn't coming back. Max felt hot tears run down his face as he buried his face in his hands, and then he saw it...His cocaine and vaccination needle laying on his dresser. Max began to contemplate the situation.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else,
Lends you a hand.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.

Max grabbed the needle and shot himself up, he laid back on his bed and closed his eyes. He could only hope that his precious cocaine would numb his grief.

The next morning, Max woke up and was surprised to see Jude sitting at the breakfast table.

"I'm sorry." Jude apologized.

"No, don't apologize." Max insisted.

"You were only trying to help me, Max. I sent you away because I thought I needed to be alone...I don't. I need you and June now more than ever." Jude said quietly.

Max nodded and hugged Jude, after the hug Jude saw Max's arm had a severe bruise.

"What happened to your arm?" Jude asked.

"Oh...Last night, I fell and hit it." Max fibbed.

"It looks nasty." Jude said, his tone sounded concerned.

"It will be gone in a few days." Max insisted.
