Chapter 25

So Holden gets to Grand Central Station and sleeps on a bench for the night. When he wakes up no matter where he goes he's depressed. He thinks that anytime he crosses the street he will disappear. So he talks to Allie, almost praying to him, asking him to watch over him and help him cross the street. If it was successful, he would thank Allie. He goes to Phoebe's school to leave her a message to meet him at lunch time at the Museum so he can give her her money and say goodbye to her because he's going west. He walks around the school and says he went there. He keeps seeing "fuck yous" everywhere and gets depressed seeing that, because then little kids will see them. When he's at the museum, two boys ask him where the mummies are and he shows them. They get scared and run away, but Holden was almost peaceful... until he saw another "fuck you." He was sad that where ever you go, it's tainted. He goes to the bathroom, but ends up passing out. When he gets up and sees Phoebe a little later, she has a suitcase because she wants to go with him. He tells her NO WAY and she gets really pissed at him. Holden tries to make it up and they go to the zoo and the park, but the carousel actually brings them together. Holden tells her he isn't going anywhere [he stops here and verifies that he doesn't] and he's going home. They both are happy, but Holden could almost cry he's so happy!

Response- Will Holden finally get his act together? I was so worried when he kept talking about how dizzy he was or how he felt like he was going to pass out.
