His Greatest Loss

I am in the process of writing a fanfic. A fanfic is when you see a movie or tv show, and say you did not like the way the movie ended, you can rewrite it and people will review it. Anywhoo, I wrote one and here is the beginning...

Tears of the Universe

The leaves crunched under his dress shoes as he walked up the hill. His heart was drowning in a hundred sorrows to fill the ocean that stretched a few miles away. Tears filled his eyes that were the color of the midnight sky. Typically, they held the glory of the stars of the universe amongst them but since the fateful day a week ago, those stars lost their magnitude due to a heavy blanket of fog.

Lucas Scott never experienced pain like this, the roaring throbbing pain coming from his heart with every passing minute. Physically, yes, he had experienced such pain coming from his heart but emotionally this had been a first time. His thoughts faced a vicious spinning circle. He just could not let himself move pass the fact that Keith died. Keith, his uncle that sacrificed so much so Lucas could have a man to rightfully call father, had been killed the week before.

Months before, Lucas and his entire literature class had an assignment to write about loss. He could not place at that moment what exactly he wrote as his greatest loss but he knew that it would not compare to the empty hole Keith left behind. After eighteen years of selflessly loving Lucas like his own son, Keith went out to sign papers to officially adopt Lucas during school. Lucas and he would go out for dinner and a basketball game in Charlotte to commemorate the event after school. That day had been January 26. The day of the shooting.
