          	  I am sincerely sorry to learn this! Your words sound a little ambiguous, so I will say - if he is sick and hard times are ahead - be strong, be his support, have faith, even if there is no hope! When the end is announced, a person can still pray - for there to be no pain, for the person dear to him not to lose consciousness, for you to have time to say and do things together that you could not do until now. Talk about the future - what is in his dreams for you. If the end has come - I know it is hard, I know that everyone tells you to be strong, but first give free rein to your feelings - cry out your grief, allow yourself to be weak, because there are moments in life when, in order to get up and move forward, you need to surrender to your pain. Give yourself time, but do not forget that every parent wants their child to be well, to be healthy, to succeed and to be able to stand firmly on their feet. Think about your father's favorite things, about the moments together, about which ones he was happiest in! If you can - try to repeat them alone or accompanied by a dear person (brother, sister, mother, uncle or beloved), to pay tribute and seal the precious memories in your heart! Then know that he will always be by your side - if you want, believe that he is watching you from heaven, if you want - that he lives in you, through you, but this thought will help you to be stronger, to overcome difficulties, to achieve future successes. And if someone tells you that time heals, that you will forget the pain and sadness - do not believe them! I can tell you from experience - with time you just get used to the pain, the emptiness, the silence - you just get used to it, you don't forget! Courage and keep your head up!

I think this new chapter is a little softer like the first book.

@Tintirimintiri yeah, I think slowly being in a space with the same people he used to feel safe and loved by made him a bit more balanced without him even realizing it.

            I agree - Dylan seems much more balanced and considerate of situations and people. I like that at the end of the chapter he controls his passive aggressiveness to a certain extent a

A few days ago i was rereading bad Cupid and I asked myself a question “why is Dylan still friends with raven and Jaxton?” And it hit me that they reminded me of friend I made when I was 9. I knew they were toxic, I knew I deserved better friends. Hell, people even came to me and said “those aren’t your friends”, but I thought to myself they need me. I was more popular, so that would explain why they stuck with me but I made excuses for them when I should have let them go once I realized how sketchy and toxic they were. And it made me realize I was once a Dylan, and I kept them as friends until I moved schools. I was able to escape them, but Dylan wasn’t able to and so I wonder how long he can tolerate them.

@Tintirimintiri  Bro I like how unbiased you are when it comes to characters. It gives u a different perspective on things.

@ggadigee )  From the end to the start: ... or they just play dumb ... 
            I never felt this attached to this character and even in the first book I didn't have a particularly fond attitude towards him. And in this book, Dylan is, on the one side, a genius in his professional life, but on the other - seems even more immature in his personal relationships then before. He sulks and gets angry about stupid things like being and adult, whose mental entity is of a frozen in the time teenager. And because of his broken love relationship, he has developed a very stupid defense mechanism for promiscuous sex plus a relationship based solely on sex - but only on his part. He doesn't care that he is hurting the other guy, who for (as far as I understand) years has been standing by his side in standby mode, waiting for the "happy ending". [Here, I have a vague suspicion that he, on his part, is hiding a secret involvement in the "misunderstanding" between Dylan and Henry]. And so ... I like Dylan less and less as a type of person, but this is a personal opinion and the result of my own worldview. I hope the author disproves me - I'm curious to find out!

@Tintirimintiri  I totally agree with you I think the only reason people are on Dylan's side is because he's the MC. I noticed that my self when I reread the first book. I was giving him a pass for so many things, even though he messed up a lot too. the thing is his friend are kinda dumb sometimes, so compared to them he doesn't look that bad.
