Catcher in the Rye- Chapter 17

At 2 clock, Holden meets Sally. They start making out in the taxi as they are on their way to the show. After the show, Sally says she wants to go ice skating. Holden agrees and quickly realizes then only reason she wanted to skate was so she could wear a short skirt. They take a break and sit inside. This is where Holden loses it. He talks about the fake people in society ans he says Sally and him should run away together, but she says his dreams are ridiculous. This upsets Holden so much that he calls her a pain in the ass and she starts to cry. Holden tries to apologize but Sally is too upset to listen. Holden leaves the skating rink without her.

I think Holden was upset because he really wants to know he isnt going to be alone for the rest of his life.
