Chapter 7

Holden went to Ackley's room to see if he could sleep there and Ackley just wanted to know why Holden was bleeding. Holden couldn't stop thinking about Jane especially Jane and Stradlater in Bankey's car. Holden left Ackley's room and walked through the halls of Pencey. He had the idea to leave and stay in a hotel until Wednesday. So, he packed up his stuff and got a little emotional. He was walking out and he started crying almost tripping on peanut shells.
