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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4azXCkml7
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8DNvu80W8
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk65d40tkF
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCiwQOclii
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMlsqVVwiD
"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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj1I7Tqfdk
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIsfg3Idue
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21rYre5tY4
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChfLcCy2Xa
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3NrjLbdhW
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb11INXF1U
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwqQTmHek7
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxWrpD78O5
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?"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Di9lR5tl
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMNUp2ldUV
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ECVdty5PP
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhrzifoDCg
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpemQeXQd
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxasXHM0n
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41TR5DfzU3
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRUDmjEUgo
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."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWajshJODm7
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM70NcO6jH
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz5PS0ZqJj
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk9ZFfvA22
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMck6M9yRR
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa114QHklmC
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpclaqCeVf
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSDJ6u4jdn
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vvFKLfK32
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!"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoD5tuUMv6
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SuFLFpKjR
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."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwa6lmsYNZ
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1WohwqZzZ
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvLzVCi4Se
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."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLxcfSpa0
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAH1jEqq9Q
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27E3RlosV7
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47jpCObrlM
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP4ejq27ej
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFcjEKYfwz
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EqrtENEat
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUHrhiUcvB
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTYYzndRJz
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.
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtAAIahKe9
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.
