"Is that why you're rushing to leave? Were you avoiding your dad?" Lisa asked as she sat on the passenger seat. Jennie was driving them back to Eagle Rock and the brunette hadn't said a word since they left Valencia.

"What did grandma say to you? Did she yell at you?" Jennie steered the conversation away.

"No. She was really scary though." Lisa pondered about her encounter with the old woman.

"Yeah, if she ever said any hurtful things, just don't mind them."

"You know, I never pictured you with a family."

"What?" Jennie frowned. Was that supposed to be a joke?

"Well, who would be patient enough around you? You're always so full of yourself, acting like you're a divine being or something."

Jennie just sulked in the driver's seat, hoping Lisa would get the hint and just stop talking.

"Why is your relationship with your father so bad?" The blonde turned with a curious look. She felt the tension between Jennie and her dad, despite the absence of words.

"Can we not talk?" The brunette ignored the question. She was apparently annoyed.

"Well, I want to talk." Lisa crossed her arms, aware of Jennie's temper and she just didn't care.

"I don't."

"You're lucky you still have a father. Why are you wasting your time trying to get away from him? He obviously cares about you." Lisa did catch the defeated look and the flash of hurt on Dr. Kim's face when Jennie walk past him.

Jennie, on the other hand, was either a fantastic actress or just genuinely indifferent.

Lisa believed it was the former.

"You know nothing about my relationship with him so shut up." Pale hands gripped tighter on the steering wheel.

"You should be nice to him, and your mom and grandma as well. You don't know how much more time you'll have with them."

"I told you to be quiet. You're really testing my patience here." Jennie knew she was reaching her limit and silently, she wished Lisa would just leave it.

"You have to listen sometimes instead of just getting mad. You can be such a jerk to people."

"I'm a what?" The actress could not believe her ears. Lisa, the person she had only met a few weeks ago, actually had the nerve to judge her.

"I don't know if you noticed how you're being, or if you're doing it purposely. But either way, it's not cool. Your mom and grandmother were so happy to see you but you just had to force me out of there, didn't you? That was rude. You didn't even say goodbye."

"That's it." Jennie suddenly pulled to a stop on the side of the road. She glared at the blonde, who just looked at her in confusion. "Get out of the car." The brunette growled.

"What?"

"I said get out of the car! You don't know anything about me so why should I listen to anything that you say?"

Lisa looked at Jennie in disbelief, but the brunette wouldn't even look at her now. She shook her head in frustration.

"Fine." Lisa huffed in response and got out of the Ranger Rover, slamming the door shut. As soon as the door closed, Jennie sped away.

Then she realized she didn't have her purse or her wallet. When the Kim family driver came to pick her up, she had to rush and left only with her phone, assuming that she would be driven back home. Well, that was the plan until Jennie came in being all high and mighty to drag her home.
