How has the story evolved?
Marcus mom, Fiona, has tried to kill herself after a long time of depression. Marcus feels guilty because he is the only reason he could think of for why she tried to kill herself.
And then Will gets an idea that he can help Marcus and his mom to make him a better person. It all works out well until Marcus finds out about Wills' imaginary son. But Marcus still wanted to see Will so he didn't tell his mother and started to stalk Will. But all the stalking makes Will angry in the beginning, but after a while Will gets used to having Marcus at his house in the afternoon. Marcus doesn't want to go home because he's afraid he will find his mom dead there, but he doesn't tell Will that.
what ways has the main character developed?
Lets start with Will, Will has started to go back to his old ways of living. He has started to realise that his "singledad-plan" has gone too far. therefore he must cancel his "dadplan" and continue to live the way he did before he met Fiona and Marcus.
Lets continue with Marcus, Marcus is still being bullied at school and because of his mothers suicidal attempt he's beginning to get depressed. But then he starts going to Will and he starts to care about his situation, his style, life and mother.
