My 'Goddam' Life

Dont tell anybody andthing, if you do, you will start missing everybody.

My 'Goddam' Life - Allie's Funeral

Dont tell anyone anything, if you do, you start missing everybody.

My 'Goddam' Life - The Carrousl

When I got out it was cold. I went to Grand Central, got my bags and slept for a bit. I started reading this magazine and it had stuff about cancer in it and I started to think I had cancer. I figured I better get something to eat so I started walking over to East.

I got some donuts and coffee from this place, but I didn’t eat to donuts. I left and headed over the fifth Avenue. Something strange happened though. Every time I got the a curb I felt like I was just going to go down, down, down. Then id say ‘Allie don’t let me disappear.’

I started fantasising about moving out West and pretend to be a mute. I decided I was going to do it but first say bye to Phoebe. I went in her school to give someone a note to pass on the Phoebe. While I was walking round I saw someone had write ‘F*ck you’ on the wall. It drove me crazy.

I walked over to the museum where I was meeting Phoebe but I still had a while to wait. I walked round for a bit and then I saw Phoebe with this suitcase. She thought that she could come with me to the West. I told her she couldn’t.

I tried to get her to go back to school but she wouldn’t peak to me. I then tired to get her to come to the zoo with me if she cut out the crazy stuff. I left to the meuseum and she followed me. She wouldn’t walk next to me in the zoo. We then headed to the carousel

It stilled played the same song there. I gave phoebe some money to have a go on it while I watched her. The carousel is a very special place for my family. It started to rain but I didn’t care. I was so happy all of a sudden.

My 'Goddam' Life - Mr Antolini

Mr and Mrs Antolini had a very swanky apartment. He reminded me a bit of D.B. and when D.B. went to Hollywood, Mr Antolini told him not to go. I rang the door bell and when he answered he was stood wearing his bathrobe and holding a highball.

We got talking about different subjects and one got me thinking about this game we used to play in class and about this one kid who use to digress and talk about his farm in Vermont. Mr Antolini then told me that he can see me having a terrible fall.

He also said he can see me dying nobly for an unworthy cause. I guess that the cause would be to protect children. He got me some blankets and I went to sleep on the couch. I then woke up in the night and Mr Antolini was stoking my hair and watching me.

I got nervous as hell and I had to get out of there, I thought that he was making a move on me. I left straight away. I now had no one to talk to and I felt betrayed.

My 'Goddam' Life - Xmas Dough

Mr Antolini said could come right over if I wanted. He’s a very good and respectful guy. When I got back Phoebe was dancing, she is a terrific dancer, she stays right with you. We danced about four numbers.

Suddenly she heard the front door, it was my parents. I ran and hid in the cupboard. When my parents were in bed I came out and Phoebe lent me her Christmas dough. I then started to cry uncontrollably. Phoebe tried comforting me.

It was a long time until I stopped. I then told Phoebe I was leaving and gave her my Hunting Hat. It was a hell of a lot easier getting out than in, I took the back stairs out, the elevator boy didn’t even see me.

My 'Goddam' Life - The Catcher

When I got back she had took the pillow off her head, but still just kept saying that ‘daddy’ll kill you.’ It was like our roles had been reversed while I was talking to her. I told her I left Pency because it was full of Phonies and mean guys.

She asked me for one thing I like, but I couldn’t concentrate, I started thinking about James Castle. He jumped out of a window and died wearing my turtleneck sweater. I told her that the thing I like is Allie. She told me I always say that and Allies dead.

Turns out all the things I like are in the past. I asked her if she knew the song, ‘If a Body Catch a Body Coming Through the Rye,’ she corrected me sayings its ‘If a Body Meet a Body Coming Through the Rye.’

When I think of it I think of loads of little kids running around and I would be by the cliff and catch them if they fell, all I want the be is the Catcher in the Rye. I then went to the living room and called up Mr Antolini, my old English teacher.

My 'Goddam' Life - Phoebe W Caulfield

If I didn’t bump into my parents I decided I would say hello to Phoebe. When I got in it was dark as hell and I had to make sure not to bump into anything. When I got to Phoebe’s room she wasn’t there, but then I remembered that she stays in D.B.’s room when he is away.

When I got in D.B.’s room I turned on the light and Phoebe didn’t even wake up so I looked around for a bit. I looked though one of Phoebe’s note books. I woke he up and told he about her record, she wasn’t even ungrateful about it.

Somehow she figured it out that I had been kicked out of Pency. She got upset and annoyed with me and just stuck her head under a pillow. After she did she wouldn’t speak to me. I went and got some cigarettes out of the living room.
