She got cold feet, opting to believe Avery had already left.
Turning on her heel, she heard some noise inside.
When she pushed the door open and walked in, what she saw shocked her.
Amy was lying on the ground, half-dressed, while Avery was leaning against the marble wall. Beside his feet, there was a broken vase.
Blood was seeping down the sleeve of his left arm and in his right hand was a fragment of the broken vase.
"Avery!" Serena shouted, speeding toward him.
"Stop there!" Avery snapped. His eyes were red like that of a bloodthirsty beast.
But Serena rushed over and dropped to the ground.
"What happened? Let's go to the hospital," Serena said, trying to get him up.
When he felt her small hands on his body, the urge that had been temporarily suppressed by pain roared again.
"Serena, don't touch me," he squeezed word by word from his teeth.
"Avery..." Serena's hands stilled.
"I don't want to hurt you. Get out of here. I'll be fine in a few minutes." He winced in agony.
"I can't see you bleed to death! You must go to the hospital," she said steely.
"Listen to me, Serena. Amy spiked my drink and now every nerve of mine is craving you. Get out." Avery told her the truth.
Serena looked bemused and then glimpsed the bulge under his belt.
Her eyes flickered to the disheveled woman on the floor and something occurred to her.
Amy stood up slowly and dragged her dress up to cover her breast. "Serena, I'm afraid you alone is not enough to satisfy him and you know what? I don't mind sharing." She laughed hysterically.
"Shut up! You think I won't kill you?" Avery's entire body was rigid with fury.
He levered himself up on one hand and dragged his feet toward her.
Amy met his ferocious eyes and shuddered. "Why can't you understand my heart?" She ventured.
"So much for your b*llshit. You're dead," Avery said with a murderous face, approaching her with the sharp vase fragment.
Amy flinched. "I have no choice, Avery. Forgive me." Then she flew out of the bathroom.
Serena grabbed Avery's elbow to prevent him from falling.
"Let's go home," she said.
"Go, Serena. I'll hurt you."
"I won't leave without you. We can leave through the back door. Many people have left. No one will notice us." Her voice was mild.
As soon as they got in the car, Avery pounced over and buried his head in Serena's neck.
