''Hey Jasper, you can go home now, I'm gonna drive with my friend, Thank you very much.'' Lana told Jim's driver.
''No problem, Miss Grant.'' The driver said and got inside his car to drive away.
Jaime and Lana got inside the young girl's borrowed car and left the venue.
''So, where'd you wanna go Miss Grant?'' Jaime asked with a smirk.
Lana laughed. ''Well, I truly don't care where we go, as long as there's hard liquor.''
"Mhm okay, well there are lots of nice bars near West Hollywood. Let's just go there and pick a random one.'' Jaime said.
''Perfect."

The girls pulled up near a bar called 'The Edison' which had live music and looked like it had a decent type of crowd. As soon as they took seat in a booth, Jaime noticed a couple of guys staring and smiling at them in suits from across the room.
''What can I get you ladies?'' the bartender asked.
''Let's get a couple of whiskey and cokes to start.'' Lana said. The Barman poured the dark liquid on two glasses and Jaime instantly paid him.
''Next one's on me'' Lana said.
''No way, I'm the one taking you out remember?'' Jaime said shaking her head dismissively.
Lana smiled. "Thank you honey. And thank you for coming tonight, and for the flowers..."
''Stop, don't thank me. You were amazing, seriously, I don't think I've ever seen such an emotional and honest performance before, I mean, you completely killed it. You might be the best singer I've ever seen perform.'' Jaime said on a more serious but honest tone.
''Thank You, it means so much that you say that. I got a little less shy thanks to you.'' Lana said looking down to her whiskey smiling shyly.
''Cheers to you.'' Jaime said smiling back. both women downed their first drinks while talking about Lana's performance and the meanings behind some of her lyrics. Jaime was about to ask her about the guy Lana talked about in her songs when all of the sudden she felt a hand on her back.
