The two begin to talk, and end get into an argument after Phoebe insists their father will kill Holden and that Holden doesn’t love anything. Feeling upset, Holden calls his favorite English teacher from Elkton Hills, Mr. Antolini, and plans on staying the night at his apartment. Getting past the upset, Phoebe acts as Holden’s scapegoat when her parents ask if she’s been smoking, and keeps his secret. She even gives Holden her Christmas money, because he was so broke.
