Missing Chapter 25.5
The tears that fall down my cheeks are not of the sadness of leaving Phoebe, but instead they are the tears of the happiness I can see in her riding on that carousel. Nothing has ever made me feel this happy inside. Phoebe approaches the bench where I’m sitting
“Holden can we go get some ice cream now?”
“Sure Phoebe lets go”
As we make our way towards the ice cream parlor I start feeling very dizzy all over again. Just like at the museum. I try hiding it from her but she notices.
“What’s wrong? Are you ok?”
I don’t respond to her. As in for now she can tell that there is something wrong. But all I can think of is those words on the walls. Are they signs of something happening? I can’t think thoroughly any longer. I try recovering on my own.
Phoebe asks once more “Are you ok Holden?”
I finally decide to answer.
“Yeah, don’t worry about me. How about I take you home now?”
In her face I can tell that she knows I’m not ok. She begins to shed tears of sadness knowing that she must go home now. I know that she wants to stay by my side, but I need to head towards Los Angeles as soon as I can. As we begin walking she says not one word to me. She also keeps her distance from me like in the street when we were walking at the zoo.
Making our way back home, Phoebe finally decides to speak to me.
“Holden please take me with you. I don’t want you to leave me alone”
“I don’t want to leave you either, but I must go to school”
We stay at the house for a couple of minutes and my parents come and find us there. They say I must be sent home since I am sick and all.
I really cant say much of what happened after , just to say because I will miss Phoebe the most since she was a very cool person and all

    From the beginning of the novel, Holden tells his story in a bitterly cynical voice. He refuses to discuss his early life, he says, because he is bored by “all that David Copperfield kind of crap.” He gives us a hint that something catastrophic has happened in his life, acknowledging that he writes from a rest home to tell about “this madman stuff” that happened to him around the previous Christmas, but he doesn’t yet go into specifics. The particularities of his story are in keeping with his cynicism and his boredom. He has failed out of school, and he leaves Spencer’s house abruptly because he does not enjoy being confronted by his actions.…

    Happiness, bliss, love, thrill, fear, heartbreak, but there's one word that stood strong beneath each of those, depression. It’s sad to think, that what everyone had failed to see was, that behind that smile of mine, was a darkness with so much depth it engulfed me. The only one who had ever known was the girl that was like a sister to me, Elena. We battled depression together for years, she was the one who won her battle…I did not. I couldn’t, it’d become the taunting, negative voice that kept me up every night and the one that’d scream at me everyday. The tears that’d stain my pillowcase and the reason I hid behind a mask since I’d been ten years old. Slowly everyday that truly happy girl everyone would know, became the happy girl everyone knew. Only if they had known, I couldn’t ever figure out why it’d cloud my thoughts, kill my happiness, and take complete control of my life. But no one would ever know, because I was able to go through those days with a smile so bright, no one would question if I was okay or not. The truth is I wasn’t, everything inside of me was tumbling down and…

    While I look down at it, I think of a boy I once knew, of how, for a short time, he was a dash of color in my monochrome world. I think of how I drew him flowers; how one morning, he stood silently behind me and watched me draw them with a broken pen; how he swiped the card I drew them on away from me and held it close to his eyes, smiling, telling me how much he liked them. I remember going home that night and painting flowers the same strawberry pink as the tulip resting in my fingers, and I remember drawing those flowers again in black and white a week later. Those I drew on an envelope with his name written in large cursive letters in the middle. Inside was a goodbye I knew…
