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.
