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.

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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYUoZivk03
In the middle of the competition, Yzak felt something unusual; he heard Kiara’s voice whispering in his ear.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIV7ZfQRMd
“Come on, Yzak, don’t be afraid. You can do this,” Kiara said.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms9qLcuk2n
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtwHKdWYZ
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBF8GU1BkU
"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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX0AeCUAdQ
Heine chuckled. "Yeah, and then we ran straight into the cops who were waiting for us outside."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB28pdtq5d
Shane shook his head. "I still can't believe we thought we could get away with that."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDUDq4wKRQ
Alex raised his glass. "Here's to getting older and wiser, huh?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQroTtKvK
Everyone clinked their glasses together and took a drink.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwlnF6QOgO
Just then, Ryan's phone rang. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes. "Sorry guys, I have to take this. It's work."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACjnT6bM1z
Derek nodded. "No worries. We'll keep the stories coming for when you get back."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek0daHScEB
As Ryan stepped outside to take his call, the conversation continued. They talked about their jobs, their families, and everything in between.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7thfqg28M
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?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKA826g3yc
Alex shot him a mock glare. "I'm still traumatized by that experience, thank you very much."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh4UFCgNLD
Yzak grinned. "Hey, at least you made it onto America's Funniest Home Videos."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGWAo5IDRs
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses again. It was moments like these, surrounded by good friends, that made life worth it.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiu4LXzWxR
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlGjzrQba
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemMGa5NiBc
The boys were all in full support of his idea and promised to help him in any way they could.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCcEViXIrD
Heine: "That's a great idea, Yzak. We definitely need more awareness programs for young drivers out there. Count me in to help."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiE11rAhm7
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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqm4gKRUYz
Alex: "I'm in too. We can brainstorm ideas for fundraising events to support the foundation."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqq7oz6FnB
Ryan: "Yeah, and I can help design merchandise for the foundation. T-shirts, hats, you name it."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QkFOwY2p
Derek: "I'll help with the logistics, like setting up the website and coordinating with local driving schools for workshops."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrufIkLGTj
Yzak: "I really appreciate all of your support, guys. It means a lot to me and to Kiara's family."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxV5IL94ho
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJjlJok0kI
Yzak: "Let's make this foundation a success, for Kiara and for all young drivers out there."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpupn0xXnn2
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01JOJ2QlD4
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1GxU7FUdi
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!"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3fnF72aFj
Heine nodded in agreement. "It was great catching up with everyone. But we've got to plan another get-together soon."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlaPwryfue
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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHw3waQnXF
Alex raised an eyebrow at the suggestion. "You trying to scare us, Shane?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwcImEKbsL
Ryan chuckled. "I'm down for anything. As long as we're all together."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIjKAsLp7U
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."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAe3pDKhPx
Yzak clapped him on the back. "No worries. Life gets busy. But we're all here now, and that's what matters."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88UN5EuX52
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqXIkpNZdW
Heine glanced at his watch. "It's getting late, guys. We should probably head out."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIJafbXIau
Everyone nodded in agreement, and they fumbled for their coats and wallets. Outside, the cold air hit them, and they huddled together for warmth.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJr8azFUu
Yzak shivered. "I can't believe how fast time has flown. It feels like just yesterday we were all in college, living together."
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEo3Cs5j6y
Heine grinned. "Those were some crazy times. Remember when we snuck into the dean's office just to see what was inside?"
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUTIYyEVB
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpwBM6gjG8
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACw8iOjIjc
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.
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr4Zk1WXyR
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.
