Yzak was nervous, he hasn't been behind the wheel since the accident that took Kiara's life, but he could feel his adrenaline pumping as he got behind the car's wheel.

The racing competition began, and Yzak was in the lead, with Alex, Heine, Ryan, Shane and Derek tailing behind.

Yzak felt alive again, he was back in his element, the feeling of the wind blowing into his face, the sweat dripping down his forehead, and his heart pumping rapidly as he drove.

In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdVwYban5v
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59MwUPTK9Y
From that moment, Yzak felt like he had been touched by an angel. He was confident enough to beat everyone, and he did.

As the night went on, they continued to catch up and talk about their lives. They laughed at old memories and shared stories of their current achievements.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRsGfMe5lY
Yzak took a sip of his drink and leaned back in his chair, looking around at his friends. It had been way too long since they'd all been able to get together like this.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3FK87TQU
"You guys remember that time we tried to sneak into the movie theater without buying tickets? And we all got caught and had to run out the back door?" Yzak laughed at the memory.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaady3aDghK
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqV4xEsTpS
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DFyW6GOeU
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHYcQlnwT3
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfZXnPLOt8
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAaPvI5NTy
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCpzc7yG2c
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM6LtHCpve
Heine suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh man, do you guys remember that time Alex tried to ride his bike down that hill and ended up crashing into that tree?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPOBXczC6
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcufKeJO1t
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbS7Sps2Ba
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SueWIJlEw
As the night continued on, the stories got wilder and the laughter got louder. For a few hours, they were able to forget all their worries and just enjoy each other's company. And in that moment, nothing else mattered.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANw1S6aul
It was then when Yzak decided to share his plans for the future with his friends. He revealed that he wanted to start a foundation in Kiara’s memory to help young drivers learn about road safety and responsible driving.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRSLcvR9j4
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8HDJ0iCd
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj1lK8D8To
Shane: "Me too, man. Kiara was a good friend and I want to honor her memory. I can spread the word about the foundation on social media."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAnTONd4L3
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvtLngxHxD
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhwS8UheOe
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhzAFsCDXp
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanCTmYeoux
As they talked about their plans, they were all reminded of the importance of road safety and responsible driving. They knew that Kiara would be proud of them for turning her tragedy into something positive that could help others.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6hSFAKHxJ
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmcd5z35q
And with that, they all raised their hands in agreement and got to work on making the foundation a reality. Together, they knew they could make a difference in the community and honor their friend's memory in the best way possible.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yL6AgcDIa
As the night came to an end, they all knew that this reunion had brought them even closer together. They promised to keep in touch and make more memories together.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDcapID488
Yzak let out a contented sigh as he leaned back in his chair. "Man, tonight was amazing. I haven't seen you guys in years!"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmgrsvezF8
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfhlt7TnuF
Shane chimed in, "Yes, but we should make it a little more exciting next time. Maybe we could do something adventurous, like bungee jumping or skydiving."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzLHzmMDjR
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6iI59LHno
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1rfGJsVw
Derek, who had been quiet most of the night, finally spoke up. "You know, I've missed you guys a lot. I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep in touch as much as I wanted to."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsaZfXm548
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF3OhEyI7G
As they finished off their drinks, the conversation turned to old memories and inside jokes. They laughed and reminisced until the bar began to empty out and the staff started sweeping up.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUP02ZzSPr
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPXr51E0fE
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ivx5gWqG
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1UHu8KCQG
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSg95aAUfO
They all laughed, and the memories came flooding back. As they walked to their cars, they promised to keep in touch and make more memories together. Because no matter how much time passed, they knew that their friendship would always remain strong.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb31TZxjqNh
Driving back home, Yzak felt a sense of peace and closure. He knew that Kiara's passing had changed him, but he was also aware that he had people around him that loved him and supported him.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUo3FFfKTg
Even though he missed her dearly, he knew that Kiara would have been proud of him for overcoming his fears and doing what he loved.
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPQLwaTuYj
Yzak smiled as he made his way home, feeling grateful for the reunion that had brought him closer to his friends and helped him heal from his past.
