Had to Go

as reply to jack's ego

He had written the directions on his hand. It was near where a friend of his had lived, well his older brother, they went to a party once. It made him laugh thinking about it. It was the older brothers birthday, and he demanded country music youtube videos be put up on the screen. He called it country karaoke.

He liked it especially, because the song he put on made every get up and dance. It was kind of a song everyone knew, but didn't want to admit it. 

He liked that party, and those people. They didn't seem to care about being cool. Different than the co-op parties people would always mention obscure bands, trying to one up you. 

There it was like the people had already gone through all of those things. Like they had been both people at the party. Then they crossed over, and realized having fun was better than being cool. 

Jack didn't dance at that party, but he liked that about them. Maybe that was why they broke up. That night there was a hot girl he talked to from another city, that had made her hotter in his mind. For a week after he kept saying he'd have to go to Ann Arbor. He just had to go.
