Catcher in the Rye- Chapter 23

Holden leaves Phoebe's room for a minutes to call his old english teacher, Mr. Antolini. Holden tells him about being kicked out of another school, which surprises Mr. Antolini. Mr. Antolini says Holden can stay the night at his house if he wanted. Holden hangs up the phone and goes back to Phoebe's room. He asks her to dance and after a few songs they hear the footsteps of their parents. Holden hides in the closet until their mother tucked Phoebe in for the night. Holden explains that he plans to move west and live on his own. Phoebe gave him her christmas money she had been saving and Holden gave her his red hunting hat.

Is Holden going to move west before he tells his parents he was kicked out of school? I would like to know why Phoebe isnt more supportive. She could have encouraged him to do something other than run away.
