Forever, a broken promise

-The promise of forever faded before their very eyes, Stanley Uris knew, in that moment, that the very promise they had made at the age of four, had not seemed to last forever, after all.-

In which Richie, Eddie, and Stanley had made a promise to each other at the age of four.
A promise, that was supposed to last forever.
A promise, that they would last forever.
The three of them.
Just the three of them.
The three of them, together forever, against the world
But what happens when the world is what wins in the end.
