That night, Andrew drove out of Orlando and parked his car a few blocks from Britney's. He could risk her hearing him.
He walked into the warehouse and down the hallway, following the sound of music. He pulled on a pair of gardener gloves as he went. She was playing her own CD. Andrew used to think it was great that she felt so good about herself but now he decided she was just stuck on herself.
He silently walked into her room. Britney was lying on her stomach on her bed. She wasn't facing him. Andrew walked over to her bed. He could tell that she was looking at something but he paid no attention. He placed his hands around her neck and started to squeeze. She yelped and turned over.
"Andrew, what are you doing?!"
"You shouldn't have killed those people. They shouldn't have died those deaths. Your people can take another planet. Mars, Venus. Just not this one. These humans have worked too hard for you to destroy everything they worked for. You can't take Earth!"
After he was finished, Andrew walked out of the room and out of the warehouse. On his way out of the city, he found a Dumpster and threw out the gloves. Then he vowed to never return to Florida again.
